@colincowherd I watch your show daily, love it. But please for the love of all things good, give the @Vikings the credit they deserve tomorrow after they blow out the Bears tonight! We are a SB team this year!
Tip for new WordPress users…
Don't: Get cheap web hosting and add premium plugins for caching, image optimization, security and performance.
Do: Pay a little more for quality hosting that does all of that for you.

Last call for sponsors! 🔈
We will have 200+ people at WordCamp Minneapolis/St. Paul, and would love to get a couple more sponsors on board, especially at the "Inner Tube" (Individual) level for $250/sponsor. Every little bit helps!

@realEstateTrent It is just as wonderful as it once was, don't listen to the media and trolls that have never been there before. I just got back a few weeks ago and it was heaven! Best city in the Country, an example all should follow. It is truly special!
I miss San Francisco.
I miss Crissy Field. The Marina Green.
I miss that walk along the water at sunset, with all that green to your left, the water to your right, and the sight of that huge surreal orange bridge up ahead.
The Italian sandwich spots in north beach. The insane views from Russian Hill.
Getting lost in the Presidio, or Golden Gate Park for hours at a time.
The parrots flying above Alta Plaza Park.
I miss the sand dunes at Ocean Beach.
All those little stores in the mission that sell the most random things that you can’t help but check out over and over again, even though you’re not really sure what they are.
I miss running into some of the best coffee spots in the world everywhere you turn.
The feeling that you’ve gone back in time as you wander through the Haight-Ashbury and walk by stores that somehow survive selling nothing but tie-dye clothes.
I miss hiking around Lands End, in disbelief that place exists on earth.
I miss the time-worn but perfect hole-in-the-wall Chinese food restaurant you can’t get enough of.
I miss walking into the Ferry Building on a Saturday morning and wanting to sample from every single one of those little shops, and then existing out to a picture perfect farmers market along the water.
I miss that stunning downtown view that rises you out of nowhere as you head up highway 280.
I miss the electric energy of a crowded Dolores Park on a sunny day, and guessing just what crazy thing that next vendor is going to walk by with.
I miss the occasional movie at the Castro Theater, and that hilarious vibe as you’re heading inside.
I miss walking up to one of the most beautiful ballparks ever built, and that smell of garlic that sharply greets you as you enter.
I miss the throwback steakhouse vibe of The House of Prime Rib.
Or occasionally putting on my tourist hat and heading down to Fisherman’s Wharf or over to Alcatraz; two places where you’re guaranteed to never run into anybody you know.
I miss zipping down Franklin St and timing it so the lights all turn green just as your car approaches the intersection.
I miss the authenticity of Chinatown.
I miss how the wind sounds as you ride the ferry across the bay to Sausalito. Talk about a bucket list experience.
I even miss hearing those loud kids that crowd The Tipsy Pig all day, screaming at the top of their lungs as that fifth drink starts to hit them.
I miss that it never gets too hot, and that picturesque layer of fog that settles just above the water, even when it hangs around for just a few weeks too long.
I miss the eclectic mix that makes up the people of San Francisco, and the passion they have for their city.
And most of all, I miss the enthusiasm and the optimism, even within a city that has always had its challenges.
The people who live there are there because they know there are better days ahead.
They know they live in a special place.
It’s been down before, but there are just too many great things about it to ever count it out.
San Francisco will be back.
And it will be better than ever.
It’s an American national treasure.
It’s a place we should all be rooting for.
Donald Trump:
“No one knows her last name, they say her last name is Harris, how the hell did that happen”?
Is this why he was almost 2 hours late? I think he’s drunk.
Next week I am moving to Downtown Minneapolis Minnesota! Stoked for the new chapter in my life. First thing I will be doing is attending
@WordCampMpls ! If anyone in my #WordPress network will be there, let's connect!
Growing up, I learned to be generous toward my neighbors, compromise without compromising my values, and to work for the common good.
@KamalaHarris and I both believe in that common good – in that fundamental promise of America. We’re ready to fight for it. And like she says: when we fight, we win.
If Kamala Harris taps Tim Walz for VP & they win, then Peggy Flanagan becomes Minnesota's Governor, & would be the first female Native American governor in US history.
In US HISTORY!
In 248 years we've never had a female Native American Gov. This can be a critical step forward.
My favorite factoid about Tim Walz is that during his career as a high school teacher, in the same year, he coached the football team to a state title AND served as the faculty advisor for the school's first gay-straight alliance (GSA) club.
BREAKING: Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz will be the Democratic VP candidate, alongside Kamala Harris.
Walz forged a reputation as a Governor who makes good policy happen.
Last year he signed a law guaranteeing free breakfast and lunch for all Minnesota students. And that's not all 🧵
@KamalaHarris Please allow this young man to speak at the Democratic Convention! Absolutely a future Leader and change maker! @ReverendWarnock support this dude!
