And not to be smug about it but if you think biking is dangerous, it's not because of bikes, and all of the benefits outweigh the risks

I guess if I knew my mode of transportation was responsible for 40,000+ deaths in the country every year I'd not use my phone while doing it, out of self-preservation.

“This is a moment we will look back on. A turning point, if you will.” I will not, NPR.

I grew up during the Satanic Panic and I remember the backbreaking gymnastics these people used to do to figure out the antichrist: astrology, the signs. It was Madonna, it was Bill Gates, it was Obama on the barest of hints. But they don’t think it’s TFG?

I knew a Neville cat once. He was a total himbo. Zero thoughts in his brain except for being charming and getting pets. Idk if this Neville is the same, but just saying, Nevilles have a good reputation

Last week, my husband Kareem showed up early on the first day of early voting to vote for me – and got to ask others why they were excited to rank me first on the very first day. Early voting is officially open, and I hope I can count on you to rank me – and to rank Jazz Hampton and Omar Fateh too!

Good morning! Early vote vote.minneapolismn.gov/voters/calen... the help early voting gives candidates hits a whole lot different as a candidate - come run/walk or hang out in boom island park with us Saturday and look for upcoming events - let’s win! Are you early voting ?

Neville: still available!

Ahead of the Trump administration's "historic" announcement on autism today, remember, RFK Jr. knows startingly little about autism. In fact, his views amount to a "rabbit hole filled with pseudoscience about the condition, near complete ignorance about current research and basic facts."

Why are Lynx games so fun? We looked into it 🪩🏀

A key to graceful aging is to always keep moving and human-scale infrastructure is pivotal for enabling people to age in place.

Humans are, at their core, selfish and fearful. That is why the, for example, anti-vax movement has become so effective. The messaging prays on our core emotions. (This is true of many more movements, not just the anti-vax movement.) Providing education alone will not, on the whole, change beliefs.

Good, effective health communication is exceedingly difficult. It’s not enough to educate the masses and argue that they should, say, get a vaccine because it’s for the common good. That messaging isn’t effective, as proven by science (and anecdote). It never has been.

This isn't particularly rocket science. The reason the Lynx should be considered the title favorites is because they are the best team. And they're the best team because they have great leadership, are unselfish, and execute the game plan consistently. Not because they have the best talent.

When you have arguably the GOAT head coach and a team that plays within their roles and executes the adjustments made at halftime, this is much more likely to happen.

we also need to radicalize more of these electrobros because some of their ideas could be remade for good if capitalist success wasn’t their main goal

there are like three big divisions in climate people: -radical normies: save the status quo by any means necessary -electrobros: climate tech will bring the anarchocapitalist future tech bros dream of -remakers: we need to reboot this whole planet because this shit is working for like 150 people

Back out this afternoon in D.C. for our communities! Medic groups BOLO for patients exhibiting signs of URIs. COVID is surging and flu season kicks off soon but Ohio has already seen 20 pertussis cases and we see measles outbreaks spreading from TX to Canada.

Begging people to stop saying this. The program didn’t “understand” anything. It’s a large language model, designed to predict via algorithm the words a human would use. There’s no thinking or understanding involved. It’s following its programming.

A Democratic Party willing to capitulate on abortion rights is a Democratic Party young people will never trust

I wish there was a rapture and that it really did take all the people who think they’re gonna be raptured so we can just move along without them

I just want to note that the link between Tylenol and autism is... not there. You shouldn't take tylenol willy nilly whether you're pregnant or not , it's not great for your liver but that's a separate convo.

i dont mean this is a magical mystic indigenous way either—we are just taught that we are animals, that we are part of our environment, that we are related to and in relation with the living things around us

it is very odd to me that it is a default to assume that humans are just magically different than all other animals in terms of our emotional complexity i understand all animals have different brains, but it just feels so silly to think we are so unique

Still thinking about that Lynx game last night? Yeah, me too. Here’s what made the difference in the second half, for @stribsports.startribune.com: www.startribune.com/minnesota-ly...

"There’s so much love in the crowd. There’s love for the team. There’s love for the players, and there’s love for everybody else. And nobody looks like each other, there’s every walk of life in this building. And I just think that’s part of why I keep coming back.“

“I’ve never been to a more diverse or inclusive crowd at any concert, any sporting event of any kind,“ said Justin Vernon, the Grammy-award winning frontman of Bon Iver who launched a philanthropic partnership with the Lynx this season. www.startribune.com/lynx-fans-se...

GUESS WHAT WEEK IT IS

Enjoyed this from @cassidyhett.bsky.social on the Lynx 2nd half adjustments in their game 1 win over Phoenix. #wnba www.startribune.com/minnesota-ly...

John Wall recently joined Nextdoor, and his first comment is support for the candidate, Becka Thompson, who has made racist campaign remarks about a city councilmember, apologized for that, then made racist remarks about a different city councilmember of color.

If The Rapture had got this much publicity last week their show wouldn’t have been switched to the 7th St. Entry.

I said it and I meant it. We need Churchills, not Chamberlains.

After being down at the half, the Lynx stopped, collaborated and listened. sports.yahoo.com/wnba/article...

This story has been updated to reflect it is not true. See y’all Friday at 1930 Beach Street!

- Courtney Williams led with 23p/8r/7a/5stl, the first playoff game with at least 20p/5r/5a/5stl in #Lynx history - Williams tied a franchise record for steals in a playoff game, tying Napheesa Collier ('24), Monica Wright ('12), Sheri Sam ('03) and Tamika Williams ('03) (2/2)

Notes from Sunday's #Lynx win over Phoenix in Game 1: - MN moves to 10-0 against PHX all-time in playoff games in Minneapolis - The Lynx held the Mercury to 22 points in the 2nd half, the 2nd-fewest points in a half in playoff franchise history (21 vs. Indiana in 2015) (1/2)

Because I'm this kind of crazy, I checked the best third-quarter net ratings in WNBA history (mentioned by Ruocco today). Minnesota 2011: 23.5 Minnesota 2025: 19.9 Las Vegas 2023: 19.3 Connecticut 2006: 18.9 Minnesota 2024: 18.6 (per WNBA stats site). So three Reeve teams in top-5. #WNBA

I REALLY wish some local MN reporter would be brave enough this week to go back and see who the Republicans were who were expressing the most horror about the ‘politicization’ of Wellstone’s funeral at the time and get them on the record about this propaganda filled Kirk event.
