A year after Minnesota became a trans refuge, ‘transplants’ make themselves at home
On the heels of one story about how the local county is becoming more left-of-center, here is one on how the whole state has set itself as an enclave for those merely trying to be their best selves.
Yeah, that’s it. No agenda, not trying to piss anyone off. Just trying to rugged individual in ways narrow minded folks do not understand, but should agree is their right to do so. But intellectual comprehension is not anything I have expected from conservatives for a very, very long time.
As Olmsted County shifts left, political observers see battle brewing over control of a complicated electorate
Hmm, the key takeaway here is that smarter people don’t vote for insurrectionists. Mostly, because giving a shit pays dividends to society and makes a better community.
Funny how a lot of folks can’t figure that out. Glad we moved here when we did.
Kwik Trip discontinuing beloved bagged milk this spring
Admittedly, one of the weirdest things I noticed upon moving here was the bagged milk at the gas stations. I got used to it. Never used it, but got used to it.

Lawmaker Asks Delta Pilot About Being A ‘Stewardess’ Immediately After Being Told She’s A Pilot
I mean, there are a lot of reasons I would never vote for a Republican, but this one happened in our state this week.
I have been to Brownsdale, MN and have worked with folks from there. Frankly, this sexist attitude does not surprise me in the least.
“My name is Laura Haynor, and I’m a Minnesota resident and a Minneapolis-based pilot for Delta Airlines,” Haynor said in her introduction.
Almost immediately afterward, Senator Dornink asks, “Can you tell me what a typical work week looks like for you as a stewardess?”
Haynor responded, “I’m a first officer for Delta?”
“I’m sorry?” Dornink asked.
“I’m a pilot.”
Bad look, but that’s about all they have these days, isn’t it?
Here’s how much you need to make to live in Minnesota
Apparently you gotta be rich to be poor in this state. At least $120,000 a year for a family of four. Nuts.
Imagine that math in the treason states. Sheesh.
Minnesota’s new ‘right to repair’ law is the broadest one yet
We live here partly because this place leads the way when it can. Technology is a good place these days.
