Sorry (not sorry).

Today marks 10 years since moving to Minnesota.

I've lived in a lot of places, including several US states and Portugal. But Minnesota has been, by and large, the best move I've ever made.

My wife: "You really have no sense of direction, do you?"

Me: "Where did that come from??"

They eventually broke up, and my classmates went on to be in other bands and do other things.

Their vocalist, Layne Staley, formed a new band with a new sound called Alice in Chains.

Layne died on this day in 2002. RIP.

When I was in high school in Seattle, there was a band called Sleze, formed by a few of my classmates.

Their vocalist was a guy from a neighboring school, and they got pretty popular on the local scene, playing at high schools and various venues. I caught them a few times.

"Felt cute, might get arrested later."

@markhamillofficial.bsky.social Hey Mark, your support for us rebels here in MN inspired me to create a new Rebel Loon Alliance logo.

"And verily, I had escaped unscathed, yea I had fled from judgment itself; but lo, ye children of curious mind didst meddle, and thus my counsel was confounded."

"You owe me restitution!"

Things Minnesotans love:

- Minnesota
- things with Minnesota on them
- kicking snow boogers off fenders
- releasing Epstein files
- lakes

Nancy don't need no Hardy Boys helping her.

@alfranken.bsky.social, we need you. Minnesota needs you. Our country needs you.

You're good enough. You're smart enough. And doggone it, people like you.

Please run for public office again.

Me, yesterday: "Not many people in today, huh?"

Cashier: "Yeah, they must all be watching the game."

Me: "Game?"

Not paying attention to today's White House announcement is also an option.

C is for coffee, that's good enough for me.

Remember, M4G4: no white supremacy after Labor Day.

"Trump is one of the least masculine, least adult, people in public life. Needy, whiny, defensive, pleading, scared of women, terrified of more powerful men. I am at a loss as to why his base sees him as manly or strong."

— Tom Nichols (professor, U.S. Naval War College)

I have a new job title and so do you.

Electing @governorwalz.mn.gov as Governor of Minnesota was the first thing I did in the voting booth after moving to Minnesota. I'm rather proud of that.

Jumping Jesus on a pogo stick! This administration needs to grow the fuck up. What a bunch of emotionally stunted wankers.

He hates history, because history will hate him.

"As long as the general population is passive, apathetic, diverted to consumerism or hatred of the vulnerable, then the powerful can do as they please, and those who survive will be left to contemplate the outcome." — Noam Chomsky

Next thing you know, he'll ask Disney to bring back Uncle Remus.

If bingeing CSI has taught me anything, it's to be sure you claw the hell out of your attacker’s face before you die so you can give the cops a DNA sample of your killer.

I stopped going to church almost 30 years ago, and at the time, several of my friends and family asked if I'd ever come back. When I left, I got a 10% raise and Sundays off. Why would I ever go back??

Homelessness is a symptom, not a crime.

Some jerk just used the microwave in the break room to reheat fish! And by "break room" I mean the kitchen at home. And by "jerk" I mean me.
