Btw, Trump has resumed his weekend rallies. I hope you didn't buy too many dry beans and survival buckets lol Get out and touch grass this weekend. Use it as time to think about how addicted we are to our phones right now and the manipulators know this.
Irresponsible doom posts from blue checks & massive accts abt nonexistent looming apocalypse is insane Ask yourself why this only going viral on Twitter. Algorithm is being manipulated. Dummies are falling for it & helping. Twitter was bought for this reason Vote on Tues 🗳

You're being manipulated. There is no evidence for this panic response besides random accounts telling you BS and hoping you'll retweet it. It's working, too.
🚨Hey... is anyone ELSE seeing warnings, telling people to stock up emergency rations for "something?" Suddenly my feed is full of people talking about surface to air missiles being placed at Mar-a-Lago, and a lot of right wing accounts saying *something* big is coming. Is there a reputable source who can confirm?

I hope everyone is also bookmarking the most egregious accounts on here who are telling people to panic. Especially the ones who end their posts with an affiliate link to survival products. They all deserve to be shamed into oblivion next week when we are all still here lol

Well, we saw that coming didn't we? Lol.
This is the Minnesota prosecutor who charged me with two felonies this morning for exposing the state’s corruption. She turned her comments off. Vile, disgusting coward.

The stupidity in the replies is becoming too much. I am checking out of this one. I’ll just leave ya with this reminder 👋
Professional MAGA conspiracy manufacturers want you to believe 1000s of “illegals” are navigating significant legal/logistical hurtles by memorizing precinct specific names/addresses on MN voter rolls & forging signatures while risking deportation for a single fraudulent vote 🤷‍♂️

Cruising Minnesota + Wisconsin Driftless area provides endless exploring possibilities. Fire up fav playlist, start cruisin' along one of the rivers, choose a backroad that branches off up the bluffs & you'll find something. Havent been here before. Nugget Lake County Park & Dam
I have become very familiar with The Great River Road in Minnesota, Wisconsin & Iowa over last 15 years & the endless possibilities for side road adventures. Nothing better than cruising the river to a curated playlist, looking for the next side quest. Still impresses every time

Been told a few times my lack of a real camera will hold me back. This only said by ppl w $10k+ in gear who are annoyed that my photos (taken only w phone, tripod & flashlight) get selected for exhibitions & get 1000s of likes in Aurora groups 🤷‍♂️ lol It is the artist 💯 not 📷
Photographers who say "gear doesn't matter" genuinely irk me lol yeah man I'm sure your 50mm is completely indistinguishable from a $2000 600mm telephoto lens the size of a farm animal

I stopped at the new downtown St. Paul Aldi. It was my first time ever in an Aldi but I was converted into an Aldi guy within 2 min. The same list of basic staple groceries at Target, Walmart or Cub usually costs me over $40 but I just paid $17. Yea, I get it now. Awesome.

Failed Orionids meteor shower photo from last night. My meteor shower bad luck continues. I saw a few big fireball meteors over an hour but never in front of the camera. Of course. We'll try again. – at Minnesota, USA

I see Victor Wooten every single time he comes to play. I suggest you do same. In 2014, at Dakota Jazz Club in Minneapolis. A few mins after show starts, PRINCE walks (floats) by me, sits at his private table (table #299, btw) to enjoy show. Genius recognizes genius.
Good morning. This video is 15 years old and to this day when I watch it, I rest my chin on my hand so my jaw doesn’t hit the fucking ground. Victor Wooten is not to be trifled with.🐐

Vermillion Falls easily in the top 3 parks within 30min of the Twin Cities. Maybe the best. The karst geology with the waterfall, caves, river gorge and old mill ruins makes for very fun exploring. The fall colors can be great here except I'm a week or 2 late. Still beautiful. – at Hastings, MN

Weirdest part abt You Can See Everything is the audience reaction You learn a lot abt ppl sitting next to you So much laughing when nothing funny happening, others are vocally hostile to AS. (She does nothing at all to warrant that reaction) It is a strange theater experience – at St Paul, MN
Amanda Seyfried comes across a a total bitch and less sympathetic than Elizabeth Holmes in You Can See Everything.

Been saying it for years. Every human on earth has seen same night sky for our entire existence...up until now. 📸 Brendan Larsen, demonstrates here what 2 hours (only 2 hrs!) under current night sky looks like w all the satellites polluting our view. It'll get worse every week
One of dirty little secrets in astronomy is that beautiful view of the night sky is literally being ruined. The # of satellites will soon increase exponentially. We are last generation that will have anything close to same view that ancient Egyptians had. Look up while you can.
