My general philosophy of staying safe as a runner: if you’re wearing them, stay to the right, and not too loud. On busy days/times or when dark, don’t wear them.

I heard that Saint Paul has the bigger police department in terms of actual filled positions right now. Minneapolis has more authorized officers, but has tons of unfilled positions.

FEMA Didn’t Answer Thousands of Calls From Flood Survivors, Documents Show

The floods ripped through Texas on July 4.

On July 5, FEMA received 3000 calls from survivors. 1% were unanswered.

That night, Trump/Noem fired the people who answer the calls.

On July 6, FEMA received 2,363 calls. 65% unanswered.

July 7: 85%.

Sick.

I almost can't believe that Elon Musk's AI called for the extermination of the Jewish people yesterday, and today not a single Congressional Democrat announced they were leaving his media network.

A party that often claims to act against antisemitism didn't do jack shit about straight up Nazism.

Mark and Melissa lie peacefully at the center of our state and our hearts today. Their memorial, guarded by service dogs and men and women in uniform, casts a momentary shadow over L'Γ‰toile du Nord as we honor their life’s work to make Minnesota shine brighter for all.

Because of the lag between assessment year and tax year, the worst is definitely not over for shifts to residential taxes. Taxes paid in 2026 will be for 2025 assessed values.

I understand you wanting to maintain Tommy’s anonymity, but if this was at The Lantana, then it would have had to have been Tommy Rizzo or Tommy O’Connor. Never Anderson.

β€œI liked it when we were willing to be inconvenienced by strangers.”

Translation: I liked the imaginary time before I was born when people didn’t bring books and headphones on planes.

Huge benefit of the doubt version of this is that Obama’s policy proposals were broadly popular and Trump’s are not. Still thats even more reason to try to stop them, and not just bank on them helping you win your next election.
