The new @MountainDew Blackberry Citrus flavor is exclusive to Casey's General Stores @caseysgenstore. I found it today (May 27, 2026) at Casey's in Cannon Falls, Minnesota. It is quite good.

@chiky_handlr In an effort to support free speech and the value of satire aimed at the rich and powerful in a free society, I'm not watching CBS programming anymore, with the possible exception of local news @WCCO.

@myasrar @Suzierizzo1 Jason Statham is exactly who I thought for that blank face photo.

[Canada Hates Trump @AntiTrumpCanada]

OK forget about what I said yesterday - THIS is the absolute worst picture of Trump ever taken. So for fuck’s sake, out of basic human decency, do not retweet it and accidentally expose more people to it. Fuckface would be devastated.

@MikeNellis How many years has FLOTUS been in the U.S.? She still can barely read or speak English. She is not Einstein-level. Send her back to Slovenia.

Enjoying some great live music from Ian Hilmer and Drivestation tonight (Saturday, May 1) at Peter's Biergarten in downtown Winona, Minnesota.

@TheWarMonitor It is like Hogan talking to Col. Klink.

@ArtCandee Karoline Leavitt is the worst White House press secretary in modern history because of her dishonesty and blind allegiance to a demented, convicted felon. And this is considering some really terrible predecessors: Sean Spicer, Sarah Huckabee Sanders and Kayleigh McEnamy.

@atrupar Apparently, this has angered many of his base. Maybe he'll have to go to church to get "a little wine and... a little cracker" for forgiveness.

I found the new Dirty @MountainDew flavors in 20 ounce bottles at @KwikTrip in Winona, Minnesota. It has an odd flavor: vanilla cream soda with a hint of the Dew citrus. I bought one regular and one zero sugar. #DoTheDew.

I'm glad our war criminal in chief says he isn't going to bombing infrastructure and innocent citizens. But, as always, T. A. C. O. (Trump Always Chickens Out).

@JohnPaulWo65263 I have seen Bruce and the E Street Band play this song live more than a dozen times, and when they hit those chords at the beginning, it always makes me feel good. Great song, awesome band!

[Tom Grier @DoctorTom]

@azsweetheart013 @nilslofgren Wow. That was great. I think Prince would be proud to hear those guitar solos by Mr. Lofgren and Mr. Morello.

@presmelb I agree it is a bad joke... which is why I bring it back out every year at this time!

Important news for Minnesota sports fans: Today is the Minnesota Twins 2026 Home Opener. If the Twins lose the game today, beer will no longer be served at Target Field.

Because: How will you get the beer out of the bottle if you lose the opener?

@theliamnissan @JulianTPBTW I am constantly amazed at the number of dense people who don't get it and lash out at your parody-satire-humor-opinion.

Hey, DJT! ... Is the present in the room with us now?

[Tom Grier @DoctorTom]

@FfaceVonFstick I'm going with "Sure Feels Good" by The Elvin Bishop Band.

@interesting_aIl I once took rhyming orange as a challenge and wrote a limerick in which I rhymed "orange" with "door hinge." It worked. I can't remember the limerick anymore.
