Wed 11:41 I enjoy clicking through to Guitar Center's $2699.99 listing for a Roland TR-1000 and getting a popup that says I can take $5 off my next order
Mon 18:55 I've spent zero dollars and zero pennies this Cyber Monday, but last night I did stock up on $1 fried onions for future green bean casseroles because apparently their regular price is between four and six bucks under the current administration

27.11 13:49 Wow, Jack White was a pretty good halftime show! I wonder which crappy modern country artist I've never heard of will be served up by Dallas and CBS later

The Charter Commission has been marked safe from CRZ for another year, but at least this time I got a nice Zoom interview with Judge Meyer out of it. Fun fact: Judge Meyer signed off on the dismissal of Sean Tillman-Hauser's request for an HRO against me. (This did not come up in our interview.)
12.11 11:15 Nobody feels shame in 2025, but shame anyway, shame on Route 47 in Fridley for agreeing to platform known sex pest Sean Tillmann-Hauser and shame to local artists Müllet for agreeing to open for him. And shame on Sean in general. More words in my Facebook post at https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1FqWi9caQa/
10.11 17:14 Thanks to the two jokers who ranked me #3 for mayor and still don't really get RCV and/or are just trolling me at this point. (It's still nice to be thought of!) Also wondering if any of the over a thousand "undeclared write-ins" were people who couldn't spell my name correctly [contains quote post or other embedded content]

9.11 15:42 So the president's gonna gibber through an interview with Kenny Albert in the 3rd quarter of this Lions/Commanders game? Good thing I got Cardinals/Seahawks on the other channel I guess
7.11 18:31 One slice of Costco's pecan pie contains an astonishing 540 calories! But a secret life hack is to make the slices twice as big which reduces their calorie count from 1080 to 480 after the application of AI math and mistakenly using Google instead of a better search engine

SEMI-BLIND ITEM: Just had my interview with [redacted] on my application for [redacted] and I thought it went super well! Apparently, even just getting an interview meant I'd passed the first cut. I'll tell you more after we find out how it went (probably in a couple weeks?)

More about the Minneapolis Park Board At Large race: Ranked choice results: Eliminated in Round 2: Undeclared write-ins, Turner In Round 3: Schneider, Dowgwillo In Round 4: McKelvey FUN FACT: 34,354 undervotes is greater than ANY candidate's final ballot count (Forney 34,085 before redistribution) [contains quote post or other embedded content]
5.11 14:27 
Somewhere in here Minneapolis snuck in Park Board At-Large results - they did five rounds, elected Meg Forney, did a fractional redistribution thing I never understood and added Tom Olsen and Amber Frederick. ✅Forney 28,338 (25%) ✅Olsen 27,487 (24.3%) ✅Frederick 23,187 (20.5%) Wilson 19,978 (17.6%)
5.11 14:15 
Oh! There's a little slide-y thing at the bottom of the results page. I was close but off by 1: Garcia 10,142 (+636 from Round 1) Colby 8,939 (+488 from Round 1) Exhausted 611 https://vote.minneapolismn.gov/results-data/election-results/2025/park-board-4/ [contains quote post or other embedded content]

Minneapolis now says Jason Garcia wins Park Board District 4 but this looks like an incomplete picture of how Round 2 turned out. Napkin math guesses: Garcia ~10141 "51.5%" Colby ~8940 "45.4%" Exhausted ~611 Undervotes 6,838
5.11 13:44 
While we wait for the Park Board District 4 results, I will note that if I understand whichever language is being spoken at the MplsVote website, it appears there could be as many as 6,863 undervotes (of 26,530 ballots... 25.9%) in this race
5.11 13:39 
Minneapolis now says yeah, Dan Engelhart definitely won the Park Board District 1 race after all. New percentages now seem to take into account that there were 5,478 undervotes, removing them before determining a lower 50%+1 threshold (maybe?) Engelhart 9,641 59.1% Miller 6,582 40.4% [contains quote post or other embedded content]
5.11 13:25 
FUN FACT: In the Minneapolis Board of Estimate & Taxation race, "left my ballot blank" (41,020 undervotes, 38.5% of the vote) nestled firmly in second place between winners, finishing ahead of Steve Brandt (35,911 33.7%) but behind Eric Harris Bernstein (42,829 40.1%)
5.11 12:54 
Minneapolis now says that in the Board of Estimate & Taxation race, actually one round was fine (unless you were NAMED Fine, hyuk hyuk) and we all imagined them saying they would need to go to ranked choice voting and a second round. EHB and Steve Brandt are elected to the BET. [contains quote post or other embedded content]
5.11 12:03 WARD 5: Pearll Warren wins after Round 2 Warren 2,437 48.4% Burnett 1,723 34.2% Total 5,037 Undervotes 537 (napkin math gets me Exhausted 340) [contains quote post or other embedded content]
5.11 11:59 
The hits keep on coming. Minneapolis declares Pearll Warren the next Ward 5 council member
5.11 11:51 Napkin math on Round 2 reallocation: Fateh 18,763 47.86% Frey 12,279 31.32% Exhausted 8,163 20.82% (I too am exhausted)
5.11 11:44 
We now return you to mostly my occasional random thoughts about professional wrestling, NASCAR and a whole lotta links to Pixelfed 'grams of concerts I'm attending (I'll still try to give you some real-time results of the other races)
5.11 11:43 
MINNEAPOLIS MAYOR: Final vote after Round 2 Frey 73,723 50.03% Fateh 65,377 44.37% All others Eliminated after Round 1 And I received one #1 ranking (thanks, me!)
5.11 11:39 There's now a tweet [contains quote post or other embedded content]

You hate to see it (especially without Round 2 results) Page now updated to say Jacob Frey is the unofficial winner of the Minneapolis mayoral race vote.minneapolismn.gov/results-data...
5.11 11:27 
There is no truth to the rumour that counting votes for me is what's causing the delay in announcing any Round 2 results in the Minneapolis election [contains quote post or other embedded content]
5.11 11:14 Since we're all waiting and I want my new followers to feel like they're getting something... Because of rule changes after the 2013 election (33 rounds, took forever) now they eliminate everybody who "can't win" all at once. This leaves Frey and Fateh as the only two left ... 1/
5.11 09:47 Sure enough, no tweets yet [contains quote post or other embedded content]

Mornin' Minneapolis will start ranking 'em out at 9. Mayor, Ward 5, Parks At-Large, District 1, 4, 5 and BET. Not sure in what order. Unfortunately, they're only posting results on their website and Twitter. Also unfortunately, I have a 9am meeting so I can't bring 'em over here in real time.
5.11 05:08 I couldn't sleep. I already can tell today's gonna be a fun day at the (return to) office
5.11 03:33 FUN FACT: MAMDANI
5.11 03:32 
FUN FACT: I am apparently the only declared write-in candidate across ALL Minneapolis offices in 2025. I'm very disappointed in some of you right now.
5.11 03:31 
FUN FACT: Minneapolis says Dan Englehart technically hasn't won the Park Board District 1 election yet since no candidate got to 50%+1 (about 5,500 didn't vote at all). They have to go to R2 and see if and who the 88 undeclared write-ins ranked #2, even with no way Miller (-3,057) can overtake him.
