My commute nightmares in the Twin Cities rarely had anything to do with construction and more to do with buttheads who would either park or drive in the bike lane!

What languages are most spoken in Minnesota homes? Almost 640,000 people in Minnesota speak a language other than English at home. The state demographer says Minnesota’s unique immigrant populations have fostered more linguistic diversity than in many...

When people ask why I left Minnesota, I’m gonna have to tell ‘em it’s a Highlander situation and that there can only ever be one Eder in the state.

Lawyer Dilan Esper writing about how amazing the Bollea v. Gawker case was for him while insisting no harm done to the 1st Amendment. I can't say that much about our mediation strategy (it's shrouded in lawyer-client privilege and work product) but I have seen Nick Denton make accusations about it, and they are false. We were willing to settle; Gawker needed to offer a lot more than they did though. In other words, Peter Thiel was not my client and he was not directing the litigation behind the scenes. We were actually litigating the case exactly the same way we would have had Bollea been personally paying his bills. Thiel may have had his reasons for getting Gawker (and to be clear, he apparently paid the bills for several cases that were brought by us and others against Gawker), but the strategy doesn't work without a viable case. Gawker hung itself with its conduct towards Bollea. The bottom line is I take a great deal of professional pride in what we did. Precisely because we actually didn't ruin the First Amendment. No outlet is prevented from doing real journalism as a result of the Bollea v. Gawker case. We simply enforced a long existing norm. And drew a line in an era of "anything goes" content on the Internet. This was Hulk Hogan's legacy, and in a very real way, it is mine as well.

I had to spend two and a half years fighting a frivolous lawsuit that was a direct result of Bollea v. Gawker. And that lawsuit massively decreased our capability to do what we do, so I take issue with one of Hulk Hogan's lawyers claiming that Bollea v. Gawker had no impact on journalism

You’re laughing? Two very rich grown adults cheated on their spouses in public and got busted the exact same way regular dumbasses cheating on their spouses in public have gotten busted and you’re laughing?

Hi, I’m an Oregonian and I just drove up I-5 from Corvallis to Portland but I only used the left lane to pass ama

Dude, OMSI rules

The cool thing about watching the Lynx instead of the home run derby is that not only was it a very fun game to watch, but it was completely Pat McAfee-free!

Bullies or demonstrators? How court records are describing Portland’s ICE protests Court records show a more nuanced picture of what federal officers have been facing.

The federal government narrative around ICE protests in Portland is much like it was in 2020, describing the demonstrations as chaotic and violent.

Court records filed by government prosecutors don't fully back up that story.

Y’all, I just wanted to take part in the discourse. I did not know I was punching myself a one-way ticket to hell

As more journalists are driven out of their jobs, I keep hearing this drumbeat of "it's ok -- they can start their own newsletter or publication." Some can. But becoming your own business is a huge job, and will eliminate many talented reporters from the public sphere. Here's why. (1/5)

I was at Fred Meyer the other day and they had a Grillfather shirt stylized to look like the Godfather logo but I thought it said Trillfather at first and thought Trillblazin had finally made it to brick and mortars then was disappointed to realize they weren’t

James Gunn’s Superman is exactly what DC’s movies have been missing It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s a very good movie.

I've never been the biggest Superman fan, but James Gunn's take on the character feels like one of the best examples of how good superhero movies can be

I am officially a “two water bottles on the bicycle frame” guy and, yes, I plan to be 7% more obnoxious about the fact that I bike and no I will not be taking further questions

Public shaming works!

This is also the expedition that made me realize that I'll never wait more than twenty minutes to get seated at a bougie Portland brunch spot but I will definitely drive an hour or more into Yamhill County to hunt down a Mexican restaurant I've heard about third-hand

It's been two whole days and I'm still thinking about what might be the best grilled chicken burrito I've ever eaten

Meet the Oregon lawyer who dresses like it’s 1893 Adelaide Beeman-White crafts her own Victorian clothing, writes with dip pens, and has neighbors wondering about the "Mary Poppins lady."

The news is fun sometimes!

Worry about falling birthrates invariably fails to acknowledge the single greatest decline (drastic reduction in teen pregnancy rates) or make the case for how to boost birthrates beyond reproductive coercion. We can & should ease burdens of choosing to parent w/o expectation of birthrate increase.
