Your Friend and Neighbor. Local Oaf. I work for Saura. I foster teeny little kittens.

Hi! Are you about to DM or tag me about some kittens you found? Here’s what you should do!

[Melvin Carter @melvincarter3]

So proud to have earned the support of our amazing @GovTimWalz! I am so excited to work beside you to ensure DFLers win up and down the ballot this November into next year!

Okay, I think I got the bitterness out this morning and I'm going to do something productive. Like quit this site, move this over to bluesky and just use social media less in general. It might happen in fits and starts but this place truly ain't it.

Robin Wonsley is the most fascinating Minneapolitan there is. Hell yes to a Muni Grocery Store, Muni Liquor store study. Let's see some data on 'er.

@petebasgen Well the earlier ones weren’t this fucked up which is a crazy thing that I can say and still somehow be true.

[Tom Basgen, Mr. Saint Paul @TomBasgen]

Well. I guess I got the job for five years instead of four. Your next mayor will only serve a term of three years. Now every time you want to talk about city candidates you’ll have to shout over a presidential.

In St. Paul, voters rejected a property tax increase to fund a new childcare subsidy program.

Voters approved moving city elections to even years.

22/86 precincts. Let’s be cool!

[Tom Basgen, Mr. Saint Paul @TomBasgen]

Silly!

Something I learned ... MN Sec of State updates results only every 10 minutes. No matter how many times you hit refresh, that doesn't change. And this year, it is on the 0:08, 0:18 0:28 sequence.

Newsroom technology has really stagnated in the past decade. We used to have holograms and comically large iPads

[Tom Basgen, Mr. Saint Paul @TomBasgen]

@njmajerus That’s so cool.

[Tom Basgen, Mr. Saint Paul @TomBasgen]

A lot of my friends are headed out to knock in SD45 today for Ann. Know that you tread upon the cursed ground that I sprung forth from and I cannot return to aide you.

@pinko_machinist @theemrhammer I am ready to wager any amount that he drives a white F-350 without a speck of dirt on it.

[Tom Basgen, Mr. Saint Paul @TomBasgen]

@pinko_machinist @theemrhammer 😂 we called that Foreman Fuzz at the foundry cause it meant he never had to wear a respirator.

In gratitude for the sacrifices so many made to protect my freedom to #BeAVoter!

@JoannaDeLaune We're all very good at it here.

[Tom Basgen, Mr. Saint Paul @TomBasgen]

My father says every Election Day: “If you don’t vote, you can’t b*tch.” and if you’re on this website (myself included) all you do is whine so you had better go vote.

[Tom Basgen, Mr. Saint Paul @TomBasgen]

I don’t have a lot of rules for the boys, but “Stay off the damn table.” Is one of them.

@BrendanKennealy I still got the Halloween ones with the orange filling if you need to pop over.
