I keep saying this and obviously it applies to any place where there's a headline-grabbing crisis/war/situation/etc: What you see in the news stories about the Twin Cities, even the deep-dive articles, is a *fraction* of what's actually happening. Countless other stories untold.

Ok. I'm old.

We need to talk about the rise of "smol bean fascism" where you have all the guns and the immunity but the really scary people are the ones with whistles and phone cameras and they're giving you generational trauma and ptsd by filming you killing people for no reason

Top? Like the top? Says it all.

it reveals pretty plainly that "merit-based hiring" means "you belong to the correct class and hold the right set of identities"

New Action Cookbook Newsletter: I've been struggling lately with the inadequacy of words to address a moment like this. So, here's some words about that. (This one's free to all.) www.actioncookbook.com/words-arent-...

I'm going to keep reposting this because I've always been a bit of a Dave hater. I'm owning up to mistakes.

Good thing the Chiefs are going to build a dome.

Dave being one of our least-embarrassing Gen X artists was not something any of us mid-90s college kids would have predicted

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

Here. I couldn't think of anything better to say. othermeans.io/p/on-being-a...

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

Everyone in Chicago saw how close this violence was if you interacted with these federal agents. There’s several photos of them directly pointing their weapons at members of the press. They will not stop their violence because that is their actual purpose. They exist to terrorize us into submission.

Really is wild how the people"representing" just really wanted to be famous/known.

This is a really good point.

It's not in the 1,000 worst things about him but I miss having leaders who (a) understood how commas worked and/or (b) had editors

This is what everyone needs to share to their most trusted network. Nobody would tolerate this on their own block.

Of all the dudes I remember growing up, this is the guy that I always thought was a no doubt HoF dude. The absolute best in CF.

I wanted to do a deeper dive into the question of IF we can get a bigger snow on Saturday. Some models got a bit rambunctious with that last night & I explain why. #fox4kc #mowx #kswx #kansascity. fox4kc.com/email-alerts...

I really need somebody to explain to me why guys have mouthpieces hanging from their helmet but don't use them. I don't get it.

Feel like this is the case with 90% of the stuff the right is pushing online.

Nightmare fuel in the linked piece.

Watch this. Watch again. "This incredible thing last night... We have to do it again [in other countries]. We can do it again, too. Nobody can stop us."

Perfect KS weather today. Walked my dogs in shorts and a t-shirt this morning and now making chili because it's going to feel like 20 degrees tonight.

Yes. Pulling off successful events requires a lot of work and I'm amazed at how so many people don't recognize this.

I just looked at what time it was and I would have lost my life savings if they gave me O/U 7 pm. That's 40 minutes from now.

If pharmaceutical commercials were banned, I don't know if the NFL on TV would survive

Our weather pattern seems to be sort of stuck in some ways. I dive into that in the weather blog today #mowx #kswx #fox4kc fox4kc.com/email-alerts...

I also think this is true. Signed a KU fan.

Curious if this was a team vote situation. If so, understandable because of injury risk, etc. I do think this is the natural progression for a sport that has made the playoff *everything*.

“Wanna make everything about tv money? Fine, we’ll take our TV ratings and go home.”

Early thought processing about this but I'm basically on the opposite end of this. The playoff is now the "thing". If your true goal is the playoff, no reason to waste time and energy in pursuit of a meaningless game.

That's how you tell a story.

"As much as we’d love to prepare them for every situation before they face it, that’s not how the game works. The only sustainable path is teaching them the patterns underneath the play." open.substack.com/pub/jrod2003...

I wrote about the late, great Todd Snider. stevenhyden.substack.com/p/todd-snide...

A sign to get out of your bubble. That looks like a 37 year old guy to me.

Because we weren't. It's all more consumerism BS.

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

Guess I missed the story, what's the deal with the military theme for NFL personnel today?

Ok, new goal due to this picture. We're going to close out 2025 strong.

Really is

One reason I never got too far into the college game is because I was never going to succeed in that extremely cutthroat culture. Every little mistake is amplified in review and getting to this level would have taken every non real job minute of my life.

Shocking

First time I've thought about this but it's either a huge home field advantage or just something that makes impossible tasks even harder. HFA simply due to those players being familiar with the sun angle due to BP at a similar time.

Who could have seen this coming except pretty much everyone who knows anything about college football

The most stunning thing about Belichick's career collapsing and his reputation for anyone under 25 being recast as "horny old dude flaming out in six weeks at North Carolina" is that the football team that made the best decision to keep itself clean throughout this saga was the Atlanta Falcons
