Politics, campaigns, psychology, sportsball, root beer floats. The Great State of Minnesota. The Lynx were robbed. I'll try and do less stream of consciousness here, but no promises.

A St. Paul police officer fabricated a massive sex trafficking case and had multiple people locked up under false charges. The Supreme Court yesterday affirmed a ruling that she can't be sued by her victims. She appears to still be employed by the St. Paul PD. ij.org/press-releas...

Before today, no F-15 had been shot down in more than 35 years β€” since January 19, 1991, during the Persian Gulf War.

Before today, the U.S. had never had more than one aircraft shot down by friendly fire in a single day, let alone three.

First, it’s a mistake to say that Trump got America into war on Saturday. What he did was respond to a war that Iran has been waging against the United States since 1979.

In countries where students spent a lot of time using devices for leisure during the school day, test scores plummeted between 2012 and 2022. In countries where they spent less time, test scores merely slid. Thus there was a significantly larger decline in scores in the countries where students spent more time using devices for fun during school hours (see Figure 1).

The global decline in test scores since ~2012 is highly correlated with smartphone penetration

Why Minnesota United didn’t say more about local ICE raids Amid the federal immigration raids in Minnesota to start this year, Minnesota United remained quiet on the subject. Loons supporters, which might be the most-progressive fanbase in Minnesota, took …

Just my 1 appearance on MSNOW raised $200k for the Hamline Midway Supply Hub. Imagine if MNUFC had used their platform to raise up orgs like that. They abandoned their community.

"I thought the joke was distasteful & unfortunate, & I think the way women are represented, it's a great teaching point to really shine light on how women should be championed for their amazing feats. Now I have to sit in front of you and explain someone else's behavior? It's not my responsibility."

Rubin: "There is at least one witness for whom 3 interviews with the FBI in in 2019 are missing [from the Epstein files]. What's the big deal?
