Pretty simple for the Lynx tonight, lose and the season’s over or win with this many odds stacked against you and the momentum will be so big coming back home that they coast to a championship.

I would follow her into hell.

Sports curses aren’t real but Minnesota sports are cursed.

Cmon Lynx. You’ve got the MVPhee out there. She needs the rock. Feed her. And benching Alanna Smith like this is wild.

A sleeper political issue of the next few years is the rising costs of electricity. AI & data centers are driving up demand & the Trump Administration is making it harder to add clean energy supply. I joined @chrislhayes.bsky.social on #WITHpod to talk about it: open.spotify.com/episode/32ps...

With childcare costs exploding, I hope the administrative burden of paperwork and licensing is something that the legislature and Governor take super seriously. We've got to find a way to bring costs down and it sounds like there are important changes needed here. www.mprnews.org/story/2025/0...

I’m not sure how you could look at the last two seasons from the Twins and think either Rocco or the front office team should keep their jobs.

Electricity prices, whether people have the ability to pay them, and what happens if they don't will probably be the single biggest political story in the country in 1-2 years.

Finally checked out the Alebrijes on Raspberry Island in St. Paul this weekend. So so cool. Go check them out before they leave in October if you haven’t yet.

Highest level of support since Gallup started asking this question a quarter century ago

Great to see this. I was out at Morris in July, and it is such a special community. They are also working on some potentially world-changing stuff - the ammonia pilot they just launched has the potential be one of Minnesota’s next billion dollar companies.

Inadvertently paused Miss Rachel looking like she’s staring down the opposing bench after draining a 3

After the first responders come the second responders. Here are the stories of the keyboardists, blood donors, mental health therapists, community councils, artists, rabbis, and more that sprung into action after the Annunciation shooting. www.southwestvoices.news/posts/after-...

Location sharing has completely changed the culture of meeting people at the State Fair. In this essay I will

Fletcher Merkel loved family, friends and fishing; Harper Moyski doted on her younger sister.

Minneapolis: blood drive this evening and Friday afternoon: Wooden Ship Brewing, 3300 W 44th St Minneapolis. Or visit the Memorial Blood Centers site for other locations to donate: www.mbc.org There was an urgent blood shortage even before this awful shooting, so lots of donors needed!

What a horrific morning. Give your kids and your neighbors a hug today.

From City: Active police situation at the Annunciation Church on 509 W. 54th St...shooter is contained. **Families of children at the school can go to the reunification zone at Annunciation School, 525 W. 54th St.**

When freighters were required by anti-pollution regulations to reduce their sulfur emissions, lightning over two Asian shipping lanes dropped by half almost overnight in 2020. Researchers analyzed years of lightning strike data to find the link between pollution and lightning buff.ly/IFa5NUE 🌍

What's happening in DC right now is shameful. It's a wonderful city with good people and a bunch of jerks that are just passing through. All love and support to these beautiful people who are fighting back.

She was a split second from going full Shammgod. It’s coming. She’s going to bust one out in 2026.

Sad to see this - Jorge is one of my favorite chefs and I hope he’s not leaving town. Also, this is the 2nd restaurant in the last couple months that has specifically invoked “Chino Latino”. One more for a trend? mspmag.com/eat-and-drin...

Write this down... Brooks hit a grand slam with a pencil bat ✏️

Electricity bills rising 2x faster than inflation. We have cheap renewables but this administration is choosing expensive fossil fuels. This is a policy choice. www.npr.org/2025/08/16/n...

The folks from Racket have built something wonderful these past few years. This level of transparency should of course be applauded, but the things that they describe here are really remarkable. We are lucky to have them in our town. racketmn.com/rackets-year...

Love seeing someone with some big ambitions and a dream. This could be really cool. Excited to watch this one.

(Twins deep cut) Royce's double just hit in the EXACT spot Joe Mauer's ALCS "foul ball" hit.

First time checking out Zao Bakery in St. Paul. Really great spot, highly recommend.

Arlo and the Cannon Valley Graziers are the best, by the way. We've been using them to graze our solar gardens and it's been cheaper than getting them mowed, not to mention much cuter and better for the land. www.cannonvalleygraziers.com

What's next for Graco's riverside campus near Downtown Minneapolis? Brian Martucci takes a longer look at the redevelopment potential for the site and its 400,000 square feet of indoor space. www.downtownvoices.news/posts/whats-...

Coffee has a big emissions impact, but this Minneapolis shop is making your morning cup a little more climate-friendly with its all-electric coffee roaster.

More politicians should follow this example. One term is great. Get in, do what you’ve gotta do, get out, give someone else a shot.

Had a nightmare last night that I was on my way to the State Fair and I looked down and my phone was on low battery. Going to have a hard time focusing today after such a frightening thought.

Really fantastic news.

The sharp drop in young children living in major U.S. cities was one of the pandemic’s most striking demographic shifts. New data suggests that this “urban family exodus” has stopped (for now) but not reversed. Learn more: agglomerations.substack.com/p/young-fami...

Oh hell yeah. Start planning the parade.

"The second best way to make electricity cheaper after making rooftop solar cheap and using lots of it, is to make the distribution costs lower by delivering more electricity over the same wires." energyandstuff.substack.com/p/make-elect...

Great story here from Brian Martucci in @minnpost.bsky.social taking a look at all of the innovative microgrid work being done in Minnesota. www.minnpost.com/energy/2025/...

Ultimately the Twins stuff sucks. But the seeds of this were laid after the payroll decisions made after 2023. And at the end of the day, pretty shocking they brought back either of Falvey or Rocco, let alone both. Wish we got to see that core with some new leaders and voices in their ear.

This is going to be incredibly cool.

An under-discussed element of this is that as long as the Epstein files stay secret, Trump has a pretty clear line of blackmail on a bunch of the most powerful people in the world. Who knows what kinds of promises he's making, and for how much $$$, to people to keep the dirt locked up.

Really loved this story by Ellie Zimmerman almost as much as I enjoy hanging out outside at a few of these places.

Local tariff angle.

This relatively cheap EV truck is fascinating for a bunch of reasons, one being this super simple dashboard looks better than 99% of cars on the market today.

Baseball should be this, this is beautiful, build the whole sport around exactly this.

Who ends up paying for this might end up being the big energy fight of our generation. The tech companies have the money and will reap 95% of the benefits, so it seems obvious to me that it should be them, not all of us, but they will fight that tool and nail. www.ft.com/content/c5f2...

Paul Skenes, Joe Ryan, and Nelly is both an event happening in Minneapolis on Friday and one of the best blunt rotations of all-time.
