Susan Du continues to be the coolest fucking person I’ve ever met

My commute nightmares in the Twin Cities rarely had anything to do with construction and more to do with buttheads who would either park or drive in the bike lane!

Almost 640,000 people in Minnesota speak a language other than English at home. The state demographer says Minnesota’s unique immigrant populations have fostered more linguistic diversity than in many states.

help my job says i have to do my job what do i do help

When people ask why I left Minnesota, I’m gonna have to tell ‘em it’s a Highlander situation and that there can only ever be one Eder in the state.

I had to spend two and a half years fighting a frivolous lawsuit that was a direct result of Bollea v. Gawker. And that lawsuit massively decreased our capability to do what we do, so I take issue with one of Hulk Hogan's lawyers claiming that Bollea v. Gawker had no impact on journalism

You’re laughing? Two very rich grown adults cheated on their spouses in public and got busted the exact same way regular dumbasses cheating on their spouses in public have gotten busted and you’re laughing?

Hi, I’m an Oregonian and I just drove up I-5 from Corvallis to Portland but I only used the left lane to pass ama

Dude, OMSI rules

The cool thing about watching the Lynx instead of the home run derby is that not only was it a very fun game to watch, but it was completely Pat McAfee-free!

The federal government narrative around ICE protests in Portland is much like it was in 2020, describing the demonstrations as chaotic and violent. Court records filed by government prosecutors don't fully back up that story.

Y’all, I just wanted to take part in the discourse. I did not know I was punching myself a one-way ticket to hell

As more journalists are driven out of their jobs, I keep hearing this drumbeat of "it's ok -- they can start their own newsletter or publication." Some can. But becoming your own business is a huge job, and will eliminate many talented reporters from the public sphere. Here's why. (1/5)

I was at Fred Meyer the other day and they had a Grillfather shirt stylized to look like the Godfather logo but I thought it said Trillfather at first and thought Trillblazin had finally made it to brick and mortars then was disappointed to realize they weren’t

I've never been the biggest Superman fan, but James Gunn's take on the character feels like one of the best examples of how good superhero movies can be

I am officially a “two water bottles on the bicycle frame” guy and, yes, I plan to be 7% more obnoxious about the fact that I bike and no I will not be taking further questions

Public shaming works!

It's been two whole days and I'm still thinking about what might be the best grilled chicken burrito I've ever eaten

If you want to hear how @joniaudenland.bsky.social pulled together this stunning investigation, check out this week's episode of the Evergreen!

What a happy day!! 🎉🎉 ProPublica’s Local Reporting Network Selects Five New Partners for Its 50 State Initiative

And to write “bring ya ass” in their newsletters!

The news is fun sometimes!

Worry about falling birthrates invariably fails to acknowledge the single greatest decline (drastic reduction in teen pregnancy rates) or make the case for how to boost birthrates beyond reproductive coercion. We can & should ease burdens of choosing to parent w/o expectation of birthrate increase.

Due to the Juneteenth holiday, Recalls and Product Safety Warnings will be posted TOMORROW, Wednesday, June 18th. If you have come to plan your week around Recall Thursday, please be advised.

Sen. Tina Smith pulled Sen. Mike Lee aside in the Senate shortly after she landed in Washington, D.C. “I wanted him to hear directly from me about how painful that was and how wrong that was,” Smith said in an interview.

Hot take but Young Joni is an okay place to get cocktails and that’s about it 🤷🏽‍♂️

Please, I'm begging you, get your news from local news today. (gift link) www.startribune.com/brooklyn-par...

Strib coverage is in front of their paywall. Please follow their coverage and resist the urge to speculate about *anything* about the attack itself. www.startribune.com/brooklyn-par...

Minnesota has exceptional local news. @mprnews.org and @startribune.com know their communities and will steer you right.

Quick reminder to the armchair analysists out there speculating over little #mnlege floor charts: Knock it off, you absolute goblins. The legislative year just ended. A seat is the least important thing Minnesota lost to a bullet today.

In re: LRT, Minnesota is the opposite of a news desert - the Twin Cities has dozens of responsible news outlets staffed by incredibly professional journalists. They do not need your breathless, speculative assistance in covering this story. Post *local* coverage as it emerges, and ignore the noise.

I’ve seen several news outlets reporting on the actual footprint of the LA protests versus the government narrative of “liberating” the city, which is very reminiscent of the conversation about Portland in 2020. Same playbook! www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you?

I exclusively refer to Bluesky as "the torment nexus" as it's the best social media site to stay informed on news.

Really good WSJ article on ICE escalations over recent weeks including Miller's visit to ICE national HQ where he demanded Home Depot raids. www.wsj.com/us-news/prot...

Polite request to please credit the photographers whose L.A. photos you’re sharing. They’re out there risking getting their shins exploded by police munitions to get those shots.

Most things wrong with journalism right at this very moment are a side effect of the fact that it’s a capitalist enterprise.

New pope says the body of Christ is now a Vienna beef sausage and the blood is you have to chug a tall boy of Old Style

Would you guys watch this

Gave in and jumped in line at a Best Buy to buy a Nintendo Switch 2 ama

This.

The cool thing about hanging out on the Oregon coast is that you’ll just be minding your business and then you’ll run into a guy wearing a hoodie with an oyster on it that says “I don’t give a shuck.”

Guys, if Racket makes their goal then the Wolves win in 7.
