Funerals aren't funny, usually, but the color commentary on the MPR coverage of Speaker Hortman and her husband's funeral is kind of wild. I get that a Catholic mass isn't universal or all-encompassing, but it's like listening to an unprepared anthropologist describe a rite performed once a century.

I think what the nation needs now is for the Byrds to reunite (as much as possible, RIP Crosby) and start covering mid-to-late career Bob Dylan tunes.

BREAKING: We're filing a new class-action lawsuit to challenge President Trump's lawsuit restricting birthright citizenship. The 14th Amendment is clear: Every child born on U.S. soil is a citizen, whether the president likes it or not.

So am I reading this court decision correctly? We now have 50 micronations with their own laws interpreting the U.S. Constitution wholly separate from one another? But there's one guy with private law enforcement who is immune from all punishment who can do whatever he wants in those 50 states?

I've never even heard of Tiny Chef but I suddenly feel for the cast and crew. I suppose everyone who works on a show shot out from under them goes through this.

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.

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.

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?
