Tired: Minnesota is the land of hockey Wired: Minnesota is the land of women's sports

AWFUL. This upholds the crazy argument that for the last 30 years, no one noticed that Congress mandated detention of anyone who ever entered unlawfully. This will effectively gut most habeas lawsuits coming out of Minnesota. FWIW, the 8th Circuit is as conversative/more conservative than the 5th.

That would take breaking through the 35-36% diehards who vote for concentration camps of enemies, and roving papers checkers.

And post your scores!

I impressed myself. I chalk up a lot to informed guessing!

Minnesota’s government loves setting up Byzantine, unresponsive bureaucracies. Little else than opaque government design does greater effort in feeding the appeal of right wing small-government messaging. Thoughtlessly shooting oneself in the knees by team “efficient government”.

Motor vehicle fees should go towards reconstructing demolished signs, posts, benches, bus shelters. The fees each year should automatically be increased by statute to ensure the fund never runs out. Until tank-stopping bollards are part of road design…

"BYD plans 20 Canadian dealerships within a year!" BYD selling EVs in North America soon will happen and be huge news. BYD sells globally more autos than Ford. US auto companies face increasing peril, as they are uncompetitive in growing global EV market. electrek.co/2026/03/24/b... #energysky

I got through Basic at Fort Sill at age 33. It was rough but made it. The percentage of 42-year-old men in shape to get through Army basic is very very few. What self-flattery is Hegseth on?

Honestly folks have no idea how hard the rural elderly will be hit by ending mail in voting.

In keeping with its democratic ideals, the US is moving beyond "the king and the land are one", and is experimenting with a Fisher Legislature full of gerontocrats with declining capacity.

Age alone? Who is advocating that?! No. Retest every few years after 70. Retest eyes, retest cognition, retest skills.

Yup. Iran’s government is more trustworthy than the US president right now.

Damn, Gerry Baker. 👀

And union road workers get joked about. This is a SNL skit in waiting.

Fascinating! “According to United Van Lines, one of the most popular states for inbound movers in 2025 was Minnesota; the state gained more people than it lost that year for the first time since 2017” Are these politics movers? - Healthcare? www.theatlantic.com/family/2026/...

Footage from yesterday's ICE Air flight at MSP; 24 people, chained up in the shackles you see dragged across screen in the second segment, were loaded and flown to the ICE hub in Alexandria, LA. Data: ottergoose.net/ice-flights-msp/data Cover volunteer parking fees: mn50501.org/donate

This sort of background is what we will start to see for people running for higher office very soon. And their goofy videos will be election catnip attracting votes.

Hahahahaha. By all means, send ICE to do security theater at the airport. Your proposal is acceptable.

North American car makers were doomed to domicile their HQ and most of their production in a country at risk of one political party flipping over into an apocalyptic charismatic theology.

Western carmakers are retreating from EVs just as oil hits $100 a barrel. The parallels with Detroit in the 1980s are striking. They ignored fuel-efficient Japanese cars. Now they’re ignoring Chinese EVs. BYD just unveiled 600-mile range and 250 miles of charge in 5 minutes.

"I haven't seen anyone using that term" Okay, good, keep hanging out with people who don't use it, and if you meet someone who does, shun them for it

Mary Fong Lau, the 80 year old woman who killed four people including a baby and a toddler after crashing into a bus stop going 75mph the wrong way down a 25mph street, has been sentenced to probation and will not permanently lose her drivers' license. This is a despicable miscarriage of justice.

The fundamental problem is that people like Trump and Weiss have two roads to victory: successfully corrupting an institution or destroying the institution. People who want to preserve institutions have only one victory path.

Trump found a way to take Kharg Island with amphibious assault at the far tip of the Persian Gulf despite the Strait of Hormuz being closed?

I don't really feel like the press coverage of the metaverse implosion honestly captures the access tech press' role in propping up Mark Zuckerberg's fake innovation mythology if you go back and read "journalism" from this era, 97% was indistinguishable from advertorial

Auckland’s 2016 upzone worked, Bertaud says: townhome construction soared (after a couple years’ delay as builders caught up) and income-adjusted rents fell as the rest of the country (not upzoned until 2022) suffered

There’s not much that will send me on a minutes long rage rant than the abuse of modern websites. About 15 years ago I was morally against ad blockers. But when it was clear websites were going to war against their readers it was time for blockers. It got worse. thatshubham.com/blog/news-au...

if you heard someone use this slur in this way in person at a bar, you would assume they were a nazi, or, at the very least, see nazis as acceptable coalition partners
