In probably the most fitting tribute to his time spent as owner of what was, for a decent chunk of his tenure, the worst professional franchise in North American sports, Glen Taylor's thank you note to Wolves fans on NBA.com is currently listed as "content unavailable".

All I want to hear out of Democrats is that we had a deal and no bomb. Then Trump tore it up and he is now putting American lives in danger. That’s it.

I've posted this before, but when I keep reading about ICE's gestapo tactics in LA and elsewhere, and how they are obviously intended to say "fuck you, we own this place" to local citizens and authorities, I think of Sam Houston's warning to TX secessionists about their swaggering overconfidence:

Or, more likely, the military has ruled it out, or at least is not seriously considering it. Because attacking any country with whom we are not at war with any nuclear weapon would be a war crime and legitimize nuclear warfare, likely destroying any chance we have of stopping nuclear proliferation.

The primary appeal of martial arts films is to see real people doing it. This is pointless and once again reveals that AI is about regurgitating the old hits and feeding them back to us.

Took a deep dive into the alleged Minnesota assassin's religious background....from his spiritual awakening in a vegetable canning factory.... to his enrollment at a charismatic christian bible school in Dallas, and found evidence linking him to christian nationalism www.wired.com/story/christ...

I love it when people asking about "good" or "safe" or "fun" areas to live in Minneapolis "accidentally" recreate the 1930s redlining map.

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

“I told him it was brutal and cruel.” Minnesota Senator @tinasmithmn (D) pulled Utah’s @senmikelee out of a Republican meeting and confronted him for his ugly tweets blaming Democrats for the shootings of Dems in Minnesota — by a man friends say was a staunch conservative.

Aren’t you dying to know what President Emmanuel Macron of France whispered to Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni of Italy (right after glancing at Trump across the table) just before the start of the G-7 Summit in Kananaskis, Alberta, Canada, this morning that caused her to roll her eyes in disbelief?

If someone didn’t write a headline for yesterday’s Trump parade that said “Tanks for Nothing,” what are we even doing here.

It should not be lost on anyone that Minnesota Rep Melissa Hortman, who was shot to death in her home last night by an assassin, was a gun safety advocate who worked tirelessly to protect her constituents from gun violence.

The attendants of Trump’s parade were mostly men because he can’t make women come.

I don't have THAT much experience with tracked vehicles, and I get that tanks sound like that, but this tank reminds me of pushing that one grocery cart with the busted wheel down the deserted aisles ten minutes before the store closes.

The day started with tragedy with political violence in MN and instead of being scared, neighbors SHOWED UP to stand together at No Kings Twin Cities. We packed the Capitol Mall all the way to the Cathedral. Estimate 80,000+ right now. So proud of our state. #nokings #indivisible

To note: the legislative session just wrapped up and their districts aren’t competitive. Rep. Melissa Hortman is the most visible woman in Minnesota state politics. She’s the speaker emerita and the leader of the DFL House Caucus. She is not just a random member of the house.
