hope it gets signed so every butthead with the untappd app on their phone can stop acting like they are rosa parks because they can't buy beer on sunday on facebook

You can buy beer on Facebook now?

thanks to the mn legislature yes!

Yay Republicans!

ventura couldn't do it! wonder what changed? i'd love a postmortem on this

if it's like other states, your state legislature is now republican frat bros who replaced the grumpy old men -- still skeptical of change, but like beer

Doing one very easy and ludicrously long-deferred thing that everyone will rejoice over before then launching into all sorts of assholery.

i saw a map on twitter, can't find it now, that indicated change in dem votes (esp. up north) as well as rep votes (esp. in suburbs) from the last attempt

uh

Punches thrown when fight erupts inside Minneapolis Institute of Art; one involved had look of neo-Nazi
An argument, possibly involving neo-Nazis, turned physical in a gallery of valuable 18th century art.

A shoving match broke out in a most unlikely place, the typically serene Minneapolis Institute of Art, where three people who appeared to be neo-Nazis fought with several others in another group of activists, a witness said Sunday.

Security guards arrived at the mayhem Saturday afternoon on the museum's third floor, broke up the confrontation and had one of the reputed neo-Nazis on the floor, said museum visitor Will Bildsten.

A friend of Bildsten's said he saw punches thrown during the fracas.

Institute Director Kaywin Feldman said some of those involved were with about two dozen people protesting outside in opposition to anti-immigration sentiment in the U.S. They hoisted a banner with slogans in Spanish and English: "Una clase, una lucha — contra fronteras [one class, one struggle — against borders]!" and below that, "Don't deport our fellow workers."

Fliers handed out by the protesters outside identified the participants as with the defense arm of the Industrial Workers of the World union.

When the group said to look like neo-Nazis entered the admission-free museum, several from the protest outside followed, Feldman said.

They made their way to the third floor amid the 18th century European art, where the tension turned physical, the director said. She said one person among the trio was attacked but didn't want to press charges.

The Star Tribune reports a "trio" of guys "said to look like neo-Nazis" entered the museum on Saturday afternoon and headed for the third floor. According to a witness, they were there to "guard" classical European (read: white) art that happened to be placed near a protest-themed exhibit with photos of Martin Luther King Jr. and Mahatma Gandhi. (The horror.)

this is awful. what is happening here??

folks at home -- how furor has there been about this, if any?

mostly relegated to city pages comment sections as far as i can tell

huh so it sounds kind of like a fancy wisconsin toilet

Calhoun Cycle, in the neighborhood, changed its name, with fanfare, to Perennial Cycle:

http://m.startribune.com/minneapolis-bike-shop-takes-the-lead-on-ditching-calhoun-name/313901761/

oh wow! totally missed that, kudos perennial cycle

yeah idk about any furor but this thing did pass the park board

there's a totally unclear path thru another fortyodd layers of gov't before anything is changed tho

i don't think there's a set-in-stone process for changing the name of a lake

useful to compare it to the ad-hoc and marketing/FIRE sector fussing with neighborhood names

I never really thought neighborhoods were too official but, like, lakes seem a little more, uh, concrete

Oh shit I haven't been paying attention to this thread, welcome to Dan M

speaking of which, a neighbor clued me into this: there are hyperlocal filters available in snapchat, and the little decal for my neighborhood includes my actual building. there's a cartoon version of my actual windowbox, to put on your nudes.

lol

so we could put em right on yer window if we wanted?! sweet

It never occurred to me during the whole argument about Yale's Calhoun College that it might be named for the same person as Calhoun Lake.
