They flew over our house on their way back to Wisconsin. Made me homesick for San Diego - and while I guessed they were doing a tribute for 9/11, it was still eerie to have such a visceral reminder of that day.
🇺🇸 This gives me the chills every time. If I would’ve been 30 seconds later arriving home from work, I would’ve missed it… I got home and opened my door and they were finishing the national anthem and then the jets flew over. 🇺🇸 #911Day #NeverForget911

Ope! Just a little rain scooching past ya, @mnstatefair.
Overhead while teen son is playing a Wii game: “I will obliterate you completely. You will not be remembered by your family or God.”
This was fascinating to edit. I had to stop every few minutes to regale my teens with new facts. My 14-year-old son wants to read "The Unvanquished" now. What do you say, @combathistorian?
Tremendous interview on @MPRnews on The Unvanquished with exceptional host @KerriMPR mprnews.org/episode/2024/07/…
Hey @NWSTwinCities. Have we officially hit 90 yet this year? The 10-day forecast gives no hints we might cross that threshold. What's the latest 90 on record?

Thanks for listening. NPR will continue to broadcast stories about people you agree with and people you don’t. That includes ordinary people on all sides in the Mideast. If you only want to be exposed to people who confirm your views, other media will do that for you.
NPR is truly reprehensible. After a documented, continuing genocide in Gaza they run a 5 min story this morning about Israeli's forced to flee their homes after Oct 7. They then interviewed a Zionist who said "They (Gazans) want to kill us all." Defend that one @NPRinskeep
At what point does @mspairport start issuing waivers for flights scheduled during the upcoming winter storm? I'm watching the forecasts, and the odds are not in travelers' favor.

You can tell your politics has warped your soul (regardless of your party/ policy positions!) when you start to think “the stakes are too high this time for me to act Christlike” or “this situation is too important for secondary things like love or mercy.”
No but seriously. Why do Minnesota’s warm November days always come with the odor of manure? Is it truly because the wind are coming from the south? (No shade intended, Iowa.) (But if the smell fits….)
Who can educate me here? @BoKnowsWeather?
I didn't exactly know why I brought all my mums in for the last 10 days. "What am I saving these for?" I wondered. Apparently: This. This is why I saved them.
Next week's warm spell looks remarkable for mid-November.
Highs in the 50s and 60s are likely to return. 🌡️
Temperatures 10 to 20 degrees warmer than the averages of 42 and 28 at MSP next week.
Highly anomalous for mid-November.

Gen Z has no patience for the excuses. Just one of the many reasons I love them.

This is what I’ve been trying to tell yall. They’re evil. They pay off cops, waiters, valets, hotel concierges, etc. Everyone in LA knows. Yes, people are willing to leak for money. And TMZ will pay it to break a whole family’s heart.
Fantastic conversation today on Big Books and Bold Ideas with authors @kellyyanghk, @mattdelapena and @sam_aye_ahm about what it's like to have your book be banned. Listen online or look for MPR News with Kerri Miller in your favorite podcast app. mprnews.org/episode/2023/10/…

This week in therapy ⬇️
Patient: I told my adult daughter I’m sorry & I did my best raising her, but that doesn’t seem to satisfy her.
Me: Maybe try, “I didn’t understand what you needed. What can I do better now?”

Hey @restorationhard. Your stuff is beautiful. But a 500+ page paper catalog sent to “current resident” when it’s not requested? Feels like a huge waste of resources. All this paper and money right into the recycling.
