An advantage of the MN sports curse: I’m not surprised the Twins are about to go 0-17 in post season games since 2004 to the team with the worst road record ever.

Tonight I spent nineteen dollars at Taco Bell so I could eat my feelings about the Twins and avoid the debate. It was a personal record for me and I feel fulfilled.

It’s October 5th, 2004. The bus takes you to your hellish middle school nightmare: two weeks ago you stashed a carton of chocolate milk for after gym class. Last night it exploded in your locker. After today, the Twins won’t win a post-season game ever again. Life is awful.

A pair of bald eagles moved into the nesting platform at Glen Lake Rotary Park in Bozeman—the previous tenants are a breeding pair of Osprey, yet to arrive as the lake is still frozen. What will happen next? A real #birding cliffhanger.

My statement on the Montana GOP's undemocratic decision to ban me from debate on the House floor: Today I stood unwaveringly in defense of my constituents, my community, and democracy itself. And I pledge to always do so.

Bozeman Tenants United is asking the city of Bozeman to ban second- and third-home short-term rentals, like the kind you see on Airbnb and Vrbo—a move that would open up 900 units of housing. My first piece for Montana Free Press montanafreepress.org/2023/06/08/ten… #HousingCrisis
