Puzzle veterans - what am I supposed to do once I complete a puzzle?

Mount it on cardboard and hang it up? Or embrace ephemerality, destroy it, and box it up again?

Puzzle is Northeast Minneapolis bought from @mischieftoy.com, obviously.

For punditry, I’m all Minnesota all the time. Mainly Saint Paul.

Sorry to the voters of Maine, Texas, and Illinois. I know how much you desperately want me to weigh in. But you are on your own. You will have to figure it out without me.

He then follows up by saying that the bill won’t do what’s intended because β€œthe only way to reduce housing prices is to build more homes”

UMMM YES THAT IS THE IDEA?!

Completely unserious person. Unbelievable.

At hearing for the MN Starter Home act. Many silly things said, but Rep Johnson (41a) takes the πŸŽ‚

First he says that cities are forced to end parking minimums (untrue, this is one of SEVERAL options in the bill) which is a problem because he has bought a car for every single one of his kids. 🧡1/2

You spoke, and the city council listened!πŸ’ͺ

Over 40 comments in just four days show Saint Paul wants stronger drive-thru regulations that support smart, transit-oriented development and grow our tax base. Thank you! πŸš—πŸ”πŸšŒ

We’re proud to share our amendment passed unanimously.

Minneapolis.

Everywhere they go they leave devastation in their wake and it EASILY could be your town next.

It’s very simple. They want to make an example of us. They want our heads on pikes so every other state knows to toe the line.

If this were about fraud, they might have given a clear ask rather than β€œuntil we decide you’ve done enough.”

It’s about revenge on us for voting blue.

Saint Paulice spent years rebuilding goodwill and trust. In a few months they have completely squandered it.

From violent support of ICE in east side, to now this abysmal Facebook post whining about masks. Vile.

I really thought we did things better here. Naive of me.
