On this date: May 1, 1978, “Fresh Air Radio” KFAI first went on the air. The community, non-commercial radio station @kfai.org battled for years to have their license approved. Here is a story from the Minneapolis Star on May 12th, 1978.

I can't believe that someone seeking the DFL endorsement in 2025 is talking about "the desired amount of melanin" in campaign emails. Shame on you, Becka Thompson. Aurin Chowdhury was elected because she was the most qualified candidate and will be reelected for the same reason. Grow up.

I see revenue more than doubled (they expanded to Orlando airport in Sept 2023), though depreciation/amortization ate up a huge chunk. Train operations would be positive by $30.7m except for that. Corporate costs still drag it negative, but declined to $20m loss vs. $86.1m in 2023

We often think about impure food when we think of the 1906 Pure Food & Drug act, but don't forget the D part of this. The medicine world was a hot mess. In 1905, Samuel Hopkins Adams published a series of articles exposing the dangers of snake oil & an unregulated marketplace.

Call it something fancy like "malfeasance" or something simple like "incompetence" but either way there should be articles of impeachment to remove the HHS secretary for being a shameless liar who is working relentlessly to make people sick.

The old 13-year antitrust case by the DOJ against IBM has come to mind. It ran from 1969 to 1982, and at least anecdotally, it seems IBM probably outspent the government on the case by at least 10x. It kind of ended up being a stalemate

If you've ever been following a storm in the state and heard a meteorologist say "it's hard to tell what exactly is going on, this storm is in a bit of a radar hole" then this is what Meteorologist and MN State Senator Robert Kupec, along with companies like Climavision, are trying to address.

A "direct inverse correlation between fluoride exposure and low IQ" would mean fluoride exposure correlates to high IQ. This guy is so fucking dumb.

Indianapolis, technically doing infill behind an existing Marathon gas station. This is basically what standard zoning rules optimize for, as hotel companies have been extruding out this sort of layout for 20+ years now. It's annoying enough out on a suburban freeway, obviously far worse in a city

Storm damage all over Pittsburgh. TWO neighbors reported chimneys blown down. 200k homes without power. Poor cell service, but we can connect to the internet for 86 more hours because of lithium ion batteries. Not sure why we wouldn’t want to manufacture these in America. 🔌💡
