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.

This is all before we get to the real reform: height divisions and/or position limits in basketball!!! What if I’d like to watch people who actually need to jump to dunk a basketball from time to time?!?

Seems like it would open up some new roster building strategies as well?

Seems like it’d be way easier to just get rid of draft and max individual player salaries but keep overall cap in place?

Exclusive: AI Error Likely Led to Iran Girl's School Bombing Pentagon investigators believe a bombing of a girls' school in Iran on Saturday likely resulted from inaccurate information provided by AI.

Local Massachusetts weekly says it's confirmed that the Pentagon was relying on Claude for strike targeting, which is how they came to bomb a girls' school.

The high school boys hockey tournament is still stunning to me after over two decades in Minnesota. The quality of play, the vibes, basically everything it’s awesome.

Well. In case it wasn’t already clear, the Gophers go as Tori McKinney goes. Hopefully we’re still hosting.

3rd foul for elbow to head contact while being fouled. Neat.

Ruh roh Gophers. Two on McKinney and looked like another head issue? That’s a tournament altering problem there. 🫣

Incredibly illuminating to compare income and hours worked across countries and states for ***the bottom 95% of earners only***. The typical Belgian earns as much as the typical Californian but works about 24% less

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.
