As it's getting to be state fair season, I want to alert people to a potential territorial controversy: The Wisconsin SF (opens this weekend) will have Deep Fried Top the Tater.

Next up in The Bottom Five: the debut single from a couple of teens calling themselves Outkast. For me, what's wild about this is it was a Christmas song. When's it getting added to holiday radio playlists? Give Brenda Lee a run for her money... thebottomfive.wordpress.com/2026/08/05/o...

Seems like just yesterday people were losing their FUCKING minds when the Mamdanis wanted to install bidets in Gracie Mansion. Now it's "only libturds wipe their asses" or whatever

The Bottom Five returns after a 17ish-month dicking around walkabout. I'm not sure this middling Heart song is worth the wait? Next one's better, at least! thebottomfive.wordpress.com/2026/08/03/h...

well I KNEW for a few reasons that I wasn't going to be in a band with Paul Simonon any time soon, but this reason was especially harsh.

finally shaking the rust off. The Bottom Five returns on Monday

Hey, elm tree. This is MAPLE Avenue. Get outta the street.

We took a weekend trip to Omaha specifically to check out their zoo. I didn't take a ton of photos, but this lemur apparently tanning its tummy was especially delightful.

For a couple of decades I was told that this was a man from the middle east. So yeah, not so interested in Odyssey casting discourse.

While I'm not sure if there's a MN Expat category at the fair, maybe this is the year I finally give crop art a go. Here is a quick rendition of the Minneapolis skyline, July 2026.
