§Subd. 2.Tenant maintenance. The landlord or licensor may agree with the tenant or licensee that the tenant or licensee is to perform specified repairs or maintenance, but only if the agreement is supported by adequate consideration and set forth in a conspicuous writing. No such agreement, however, may waive the provisions of subdivision 1 or relieve the landlord or licensor of the duty to maintain common areas of the premises.

Just a friendly reminder from your local tenant's rights lawyer: in Minnesota your landlord can't make you shovel the walk (or do any sort of maintenance) unless they're directly compensating you for the work. Minn. Stat. § 504B.161, subd. 2.

If we can forgive Adam Sandler for continually making us weird bullies in every Happy Madison production, we can forgive you too.

Will it work to completely eliminate objective war reporting? No. But, it will almost certainly have a chilling effect on newsrooms.

Why does he say “would” and not “will”?

Narratively having Ever Given getting stuck in 2021 to set up Hormuz in 2026 is great foreshadowing. You want your audience to understand the basics of international shipping in a lower stakes context so you drop the real plot without a lot of saggy exposition about the minutiae of cargo logistics.

I love how Trump is like, “DEFEND THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ!!!!” And the Navy’s like, “nah, we’re not going to do that.”

iOS 26.3.1 is a revolutionary update in that it replaces every bug it fixes with a new, more annoying bug.

I know several ship captains with Master Unlimited licenses who have piloted the largest vessels on the oceans and they are—to the man—the most risk-adverse people on Earth. They are responsible for dozens of lives and hundreds of millions in assets. 0% chance any sail through Hormuz for a while.

Stiller using the nazi site sorta cancels out my goodwill on this one. Why lend your celebrity to Elon Musk, and for free?

We are not at war with Iran, although we have been for the last 50 years.

I boycott stores for petty reasons, like when the self-checkout forces you to “place items in the bagging area,” even though you already did. And after you pay, it keeps repeating, “please take your items,” WHILE YOU’RE TAKING YOUR ITEMS… #boycottHyVee

I doubt I will, it was clumsily written. I was just making a direct appeal to you to consider employing your humor for good rather than being rude to people who don’t deserve it. Muting you now. Toodles.

I know you’re joking, but you’re being disrespectful to legal journalism and their audience, which partly consists of the people who will eventually fix the things currently being broken.

It's genuinely insane that many of the newspaper columnists who cheered us into the war in Iraq are still employed at big legacy outlets cheering us into a new war with Iran.

Lifting is low key a great way for a slacker to get in shape. The whole objective is failure. You’re practically an expert before you begin.

My wife and I pose for a selfie inside a Mystic Lake Casino hallway. I look like a dork. She looks lovely.

Got to see Stavros Halkias from the front row last night. First time I’ve ever lost my voice from laughing before.
