it's always been clear to me that MPR is a beloved and significant institution in the state, but I always forget that it's actually a big deal on the national level, too

"Her family says she uses an insulin pump that would have run out by now...

'Victoria might be acting erratically or not in able body at this point, she might be in a diabetic crisis,' said Victoria's aunt Danielle Matthias.

If you know where she is you're asked to call 911."

"hey guys so I just thought of this concept i call the hero's journey..."

Let them shine!

S2 E3: Director of Product Management Canned · Episode

Folks, you really did to give my friend @nerdseyeview.bsky.social’s podcast Canned a listen. This episode tells the tale of an entire department being wiped out because DOGE believed the rightwing framing that the government employees were basically commies because of pronouns. It’s a doozy!

George Will delights his readers when he covers his first love, baseball. His memorable pieces on the DH rule and the afternoon Cubs have earned him a niche in the pantheon of popular pundits. Yet the Post compels him to write in the political philosophy arena. His scholarly meandering in the far right are a source of embarrassment to him and to his faithful followers. He clearly did his bit on the wisdom of Judge Bork during a seventh inning stretch. Please unleash the man. Let him write pieces he enjoys doing in the field of his expertise.

Just found this letter my grandfather wrote to the Washington Post in 1987, asking them to have George Will write exclusively about baseball

Honestly impressed by the snark here

Random Belgians is a band name that @nerdseyeview.bsky.social @bearshapedsphere.bsky.social and I came up with during a long drive like 15 years ago, and I still think it's a very good one

The Little Minnesota, a roughly Minnesota shaped route through Minneapolis

Pleased to announce the first test of the Little Minnesota bike/run route.

In 23 miles, it creates the outline of Minnesota, and is longer than either the Little Wisconsin or Little Illinois in Milwaukee and Chicago respectively.
