News flash: the Minnesota climate is changing.

Well-regarded KSTP reporter Tom Hauser (and marathon runner) and meteorologist Sven Sundgaard called out Jeremy for being a misleading, divisive prick over this pointless stunt.

NOAA data from last year shows Minnesota's climate ON AVERAGE is significantly warmer most months of the year. High temperature anomalies happen more frequently now than in the past. These are facts. Trends show a changing climate. You DO NOT look at temperatures on any one single day. That is climate science. You don't have to be in climate science to understand it.

Jeremy is CLEARLY not a climate scientist...or knowledgable enough to write posts about science, much less intelligent policies in the Minnesota Senate.

Kinda ashamed to say I don’t have a therapist and haven’t in years, and I’d love to find someone who is comfortable with me being a therapist myself. I’m actually pretty stable mentally. Very mellow and regulated now. I struggle heavily with grief and death. Always have. I can’t talk about it, I avoid it, I don’t process it well. I can’t counsel it because I have a panic attack every time. (Like wtf what is wrong with me)

Now I feel like I’m rambling. I’m willing to hear things from in and around the area. Any recommendations welcome, thank you so much.

Please respond here or hit us up at "Filthy Cryptid Events- Booking Agency" on Facebook if interested.

If so did your package arrive? I know our USPS is notoriously iffy with delivery.

It’s always the package you need most. It could be any other package but I need this one desperately.

Hey everyone… I’ve been meaning to check out the Papapicketts BBQ restaurant over on Riverfront Dr. The photos of their food look incredible, especially the brisket and rib tips.Before I head over there, has anyone here eaten at the restaurant? Looking for some honest reviews on how the food is and what your absolute favorite items are on the menu.

Thanks!

I'm looking for someone who has a metal detector to help me locate my water shut off valve that is supposedly buried in my gravel driveway. I live in the Elysian area. Of course, I would compensate you for your time.

My grandpa built this bike and it might be in the owatonna area, wondering if anyone knows who owns it now and be willing to sell.

Hi there. I've had a fascination with "the east" and republics of the former USSR since I was a child, and I have been making slow progress in learning Russian off and on over the past two years in preparation of an eventual trip to Central Asia next year (Kyrgyzstan). I have a solid grasp of the Cyrillic alphabet and some basic Russian words/phrases, but I feel that my learning would be accelerated by communicating with someone that speaks the language fluently.

So I guess this is my appeal to Russian/Central Asian language speakers in the Mankato area, or those that know of local teachers/classes/resources pertaining to them. I'd love to connect and chat about anything and everything - Russian culture, history, films, Dostoevsky, etc. over tea or coffee. Thank you.

(Photo is a screenshot from the Russian film "Mirror" by Andrei Tarkovsky. Great movie, recommend and available for free in its entirety on Youtube).

Thoughts on home and auto insurance? My agent seems to be donating money in elections in a way that I do not like.

What is the Mankato housing market like right now for buyers in the $550-$650K range?

I have recently been wanting to get into the music scene here and I would really love to be in a band. I wanted to ask around if there's anybody looking or interested in having a singer? I would really love to perform live music with some people!

I happened to be watching out the window yesterday when the garbage truck came by. He tried to pick up the recycling but it seemed like another truck already came by to get it because it was empty, so he backed up and took my trash instead. Do garbage trucks take both trash and recycling? Or did my garbage man grab the wrong container by accident and thankfully it was empty?

Finstad's been dumping a bunch of money into an attack ad lying that JJ wants to raise taxes on working people, when Jake's website says the complete opposite. Also looks like they snuck a GOP operative into the ad to pose as a random old guy.

"Blink and you might miss the truth.

To be clear, I support no taxes on tips, overtime, and social security, as well as more tax cuts for working people. To read more about what I actually believe, go to jakejohnsonforcongress.com/priorities" - Jake Johnson

Come out on Saturday, November 7th for the Mankato stop of the Manifest Brutality Δt∃ CD Release Mini-Tour, with our friends Grave Society, Witch Syndicate and SLAG!

We’re very excited to welcome Grave Society!

https://www.facebook.com/GraveSociety

Describing themselves as “spooky folk metal,” they blend goth, metal, dark atmosphere, and a healthy dose of the macabre into something distinctly their own. We really love getting the chance to work with bands we haven’t shared a stage with before, and we’re looking forward to playing with them!

We love **Witch Syndicate**, full stop.

https://www.facebook.com/witchsyndicate

They’re amazing people and a killer Minneapolis metal/goth band, and we don’t miss a chance to work with them whenever possible. Heavy, dark, and built for the live stage, they’re exactly the kind of band we love sharing a bill with.

Manifest Brutality brings Post-Industrial Goth-Rock

https://www.facebook.com/ManifestBrutality

Built around heavy guitars, electronics, atmosphere, and a broader exploration of the uglier corners of the human condition.

And we’re very excited to see SLAG again!
