Riding bikes in west seventh, STP. Battling a preschooler. A person of ordinary firmness.

“Per Tom Homan” is not something serious people rely on when seeking credible, factual information.

The Chief Justice also believed “per Tom Homan” that courthouse enforcement had ended.

Oh my god. My kiddo’s friend who hasn’t been to school since early December was back today. They were hugging when I picked him up. 🥲🥲

Sometimes decisions made by local units of government annoy me!

There’s a difference between that and then waging a campaign of rage at every public or open meeting held over the following year.

I was going to adopt our bus stop in my kiddo’s name for his next birthday.

Not a fan at all.

Minnesota senator wants cursive to make a comeback • Minnesota Reformer It makes documents poetic. It strengthens hand-eye coordination. And, hundreds of years ago, “it was a mark of an educated person.” That’s how Sen. Ann Rest, DFL-New Hope, described cursive handwritin...

Any DFLer spending time on this nonsense is failing in this moment.

Unsurprising this comes from an 83 year old.

Yes I’m ageist when it comes to elected officials. If 70 is old enough to mandate retirement for judges, then it is the same for legislators.

Good for @minnesotareformer.com and for calling our Craig for not even attempting to address explain giving republican state AGs power to sue every democratic administration over crimes committed by parolees.

Giving R AGs—who are bad faith actors as a rule—any authority is wildly incompetent.

After the building was no longer Excel Energy Center, but before a new sponsor was in place, the five year old took to calling it Nothing Energy Center (we walk by it nearly everyday, so it’s a staple in our house). He dislikes the new name, so that’s what he still calls it.

Drinking coffee during teams meeting and it goes down the wrong pipe, desperately trying to reach the turn off camera button before I blow the whole mouth full of coffee at the camera.

Googl’s AI overview to the question “Do I lose an hour of sleep this weekend?” on march 9, 2026;

“No, you gain an extra hour of sleep this Sunday, March 8, 2026, because Daylight Saving Time (DST) ends, and clocks "fall back" from 2:00 AM to 1:00 AM, returning to standard time; you lose an hour in the spring when clocks "spring forward.”

Google really puts out a winning product these days.

Also this isn’t even true. Who in the Democratic Party thinks this is accurate?

These early 90 kids movies are outrageously problematic. But still wildly entertaining for modern 5 year olds.

I think we’ll do little giants next.

@chashomans.bsky.social can you please explain what this assessment is based on?

Cause she’s insane. People know her name. That’s it.

What facts from your reporting show she is a stronger candidate than MNGOP typically puts forth?

NYT article saying, “After fielding weak candidates in some recent statewide elections, the [republican] party has recruits stronger contenders like Michelle Tafoya …” which is an insane statement.

Dude. Reporters just say shit. No interest or regard for reality.

This is the New York Times.
