One day, we will have a geomagnetic storm so massive that it destroys Starlink satellites and sets data centers on fire. And then we'll party in the streets under the most epic aurora.

It’s pretty great.

The Edmund Fitzgerald had a flag, and this was it.

There are two types of reporters in the world - those who understand sources are doing them a favor speaking to them, and those who think they are doing sources a favor writing about them. Be the right kind of reporter.

Fainted after getting up this morning. Six stitches in my forehead. Need to reevaluate both my rising and grinding routines.

If you live in or near #Mpls, you probably own some cool merch from Gigi. Please help if you can. gofund.me/3b8d50a19

As you get to a certain age, especially if you're a cis man, you've either got to own up to being an idiot (or worse) in your youth or double down on it.

I think about this a lot.

Regular fall reminder for leaf peeping on the North Shore: You can see pretty leaves on both sides of the road if you turn left off Hwy 61. It's called the Superior National Forest. It's great. www.startribune.com/up-the-north...

THE GOOD CANADIAN premieres today on CBC & APTN, also available on CBC Gem & APTN Lumi. I hope you will take the time to watch this important movie that connects the dots between the injustices faced by Indigenous people. Proud to have been a researcher on this project. #truthandreconciliation

Fun story featuring @brianquarstad.bsky.social!

This is just to say You can have the plums that are in the icebox Really, help yourself so many plums

When the things you turn to for distraction are also bad.

If Tony Sanneh came around today he'd be a $75m center back subject to a bidding war between Real Madrid, Barcelona, Man City & PSG. 6-foot-3, built like a brick shithouse, but somehow the softest feet and a pure liquid athlete.

US inflation accelerated in August at a speed that is likely to keep the Fed cautious about lowering borrowing costs too quickly once it restarts cuts as soon as next week. Monthly CPI rose 0.4% and is up 2.9% YoY. Core prices rose 0.3% or 3.1% annually

This is incredible.

Was not kidding.

I have a high school senior. 😭

Not mentioned in this column: firearm suicide rates in rural areas of Minnesota are 1.5 to 2 times higher than in urban areas, but keep slinging that bucolic bullshit. 988 works everywhere. Please call if you need help.

I haven't been to the fair yet. Are people yelling at Amy Klobuchar? Is there a long line?

Loved this profile by @danhaugen.bsky.social on a couple who turned a pandemic-era hobby — electric coffee roasting — into a business determined to kick gas out of the coffee shop. (His swan song for @canarymedia.com!) www.canarymedia.com/articles/ele...

Texting my friend in Iowa about the derecho.

It was Die Kreuzen. My roommate was running the sound board that night. I don't remember it being followed by an explicit rule, but there was certainly a halt to hosting punk shows there for at least a couple of years.

According to its most recent 990, Jon McTaggert - who stepped down in Sep. 2020 as CEO of APMG - was paid $401k in 2023. The article below makes no mention of adjustmenst to the $669,086 salary for current CEO Jean Taylor, daughter of Star Tribune owner Glen Taylor. www.mprnews.org/story/2025/0...

Making space for Thomas Müller, I assume.

Ethically, Andy Brehm should tell readers he’s a Jacob Frey donor. Journalistically, Star Tribune editors must. www.startribune.com/dsa-public-s...

Observed a threatened shore bird on an island in the Menard’s parking lot.

Watching the replays.

Some personal news! I'm joining MinnPost as deputy editor this month. It's bittersweet to leave the ENN/Canary team but this is a dream opportunity and I can't wait to reconnect with local journalism and Minnesota. www.minnpost.com/inside-minnp...

Here's some good news. Congratulations to @gregseitz.com on this well deserved recognition! www.twincities.com/2025/07/06/n...

20 years! Myself and few other Thunder fans were maced by an over-zealous security guard after the 3-1 victory in Kansas City. Thanks for the memories, Johnny Menyongar.

The officer who encountered him, but thought it was normal enough for another officer to completely ignore her so she moved on.

I met the guy who owns the rights to Jenga while swimming in bioluminescent water.

Right after a successful $1 million pledge drive. So many executives to pay.

Break the rules ...but only after learning how they were built, and who they were built for. Then, build something braver. Something wilder. Something more just. educationfutures.com/post/break-t...

It’s so nice to see the sun this morning.
