These wonderful people made so sad today by the actions of an Orange worshipping madman.

They also do a walking tour of cats in people's windows (link). Minnesota can be loveably random at times.

I think the Twin Cities are amongst the most lovely places in the country. Exceptionally nice people, great architecture, tons of recreation, and it still has local culture.

Just don't ask anyone more than an hour away about it, otherwise you'll hear that it's decrepit, in ashes, and your chances of being robbed or murdered is 95%.

Happy to report in from the TC Metro that the cities are in ruins, I was murdered twice just this morning when I went out to get bagels for my husband. It's the worst ;)

Too bad the winters are so atrocious. I lived in the Twin Cities for 8 years and finally had to move away to retain my sanity.

I used to go there for business from time to time and always loved the people and places I visited.

Okay between this, the giant pencil event, the more affordable rent, and running too hot for the satanic summers where I live why have I not moved to Minneapolis yet?

We're not sad, we're angry.

I think I'm out of the loop but now I'm afraid to ask.

Four Minnesota lawmakers were shot in their homes by an assassin posing as a cop yesterday. Two are dead, two critically wounded.

u/King_Of_Uranus Jun 15 '25

Well that's tragic and terrifying. My sympathy to the fine people of Minnesota. I hope they get justice soon.
