As unlikely as it may be, letâs talk about high-speed rail to Chicago
Forward-thinking federal infrastructure policy is in short supply these days, but a Twin Cities-Chicago line would be an economic home run.

Alright so. This is just uncomfortable and disgusting. I know I sound like a ludite, but AI podcasts just don't sit right with me. Chat podcasts already feel extremely lazy, but having AI generated voices do it just feels insultingly cheap.

I've spent the last week trying to explain a bunch of news to family, which is really validating! The nicest thing to come out of the last week is knowing that I'll probably stay employed for at least four years.
