The prevailing media narrative hasn't been "MPS in decline due to inconsistent pathways and experiences across schools." It's "MPS is hemorrhaging money and closing schools is the only way to save the district." If this plan goes forward AND we still have a deficit, it will be a fiasco.
Today in Minnesota, a former Pennsylvanian and I, a former Washingtonian, explained to an all-my-life Minnesotan that people in other states aren’t nearly as into their state as Minnesotans are into Minnesota. Among topics, Minnesota is up there with Weather and How The Weather Was Before.
5 more wins and the Brewers crack 100 victories. That would’ve been unfathomable growing up rooting for the Brew Crew.
Hoo boy. iOS 27 finally fixed my year long issue casting from the MLB app. A bit late, but it’ll do.
Let’s check in on how Packers fans are doing on Instagram
Downward (2) is kind of a perfect album. Apparently 40 was when I got back into emo, at least the sludgegaze adjacent variety.
I really like this one. Everything and everyone in their place. A classic diner scene in the modern times.

Making quarterly tax payments feels like such a scam in these times.
The Cowboys logo being a star is stupid. It implies they are Sherrifs, which real cowboys were not, in fact they probably hated the police. Nobody ever talks about this.
What is that the 20th late hit on Love? No penalties. Incredible.
Some halftime stuff from SumerSports: Packers with a 70.4% pass rate. They're currently with a +0.39 EPA per Play on passes, -0.09 on runs. When passing out of 11 personnel, they're at +0.53 EPA per play.
Seeing Jordan Love and Brian Flores go after each other with these chunk plays against the blitzes hot off the edge rn is so cool
One of the last of its kind. The Tomahawk, Wisconsin location of Dog n Suds is one of 20 locations left of what was once a chain of 650 restaurants across the states. Smoothest root beer you’ll ever have. August 2026 #eck #photography #photographersofbluesky #drivein #rootbeer #americana
My original plan for yesterday was to visit Pipestone National Monument. I had never been there and realized I should go before it gets fucked up in some horrible way (I’m not aware of any plans, but *gestures*). It’s a beautiful and peaceful place.

I regret to inform they’re temporarily out of food at the Nordeast Polish Fest. At least for 45 minutes. Plenty of beer. The Zubr beer rules.
Not sure why Ladysmith, Wisconsin celebrates Mardi Gras in July, but just look at this beauty.
i am incredibly excited to share our research about how paying people’s rent through mutual aid made an impact on minnesota this year we accidentally collected more data than anyone ever has for an effort like this, and can very seriously say we prevented an eviction bubble that everyone expected
