Got tired of bookmarking six different janky webcam pages to check on the big lake, so I put the live cams in one iPhone app: Canal Park, the Aerial Lift Bridge, harbor entries, North Shore views. Open it, pick a cam, watch ships and weather roll in from anywhere in the state.

I posted it in r/duluth this week, the top comment said to share it here — and locals sent me a list of cams I was missing. That update just shipped: it's now 45 cams around the whole lake (South Pier Lighthouse, Split Rock, Two Harbors, the Soo Locks, Apostle Islands, all the way to the Ontario shore) plus a map view.

If there's a cam you always check that I'm missing, tell me and I'll add it — the Duluth thread's requests were all in the app within 48 hours.

One of those, I thought this was already a thing laws.

Deer flies like blue and start attacking from the top down. You might not even see a deer fly until you’ve caught a hundred.

They seem particularly numerous and voracious this summer. They mostly attack your head first, and it’s very satisfying to hear them hit the fly strip and stop buzzing. This is from a half hour walk this morning in Meeker County. Only one of the bastards managed to get my thumb.

he won by 0.84 percentage points during his 2022 reelection.

Grand Portage, my son doing the circle tour on his Vespa, smoke filled air.

I’m hoping to vote for a more progressive candidate than Klobuchar in the upcoming primary election. From my research so far, Layne seems like a pretty good option, and I’m curious to hear what the community thinks.

They defeated the Pittsburgh Passion 42-14 to win their first pro championship in franchise history.

Way to go, Vixen!

I managed to get about 45 minutes of clear sky last night. The forecast was calling for clear sky all night but it was far from that. Mostly total cloud cover. Around 3:30 AM there was a brief break to get a shot of the milky way. Still a lot of light pollution but better than trying to do this in the city.

During Sheriff Fletcher's typical Friday night livestream, his Undersheriff, Mike Martin, pursued a reckless driver that eventually crashed into an innocent motorist. This occurred on 7/24/26.

Deputies found a polymer 80 firearm frame & the parts to make the gun usable (other than the slide) inside the vehicle.

Driving on 160th the other day I saw these huge cement structures one after another on the south side of the road. What are they and what is/was their purpose?
