Are you in possession of loads of sweet corn on the cob right now?

Here's what you do... just put it in the microwave, husk on, for three minutes. No better/simpler way to cook an ear of fresh corn. Let it cool, shuck, butter and salt that's all you need.

For once, I'd like an article titled, Can anyone stop Pete Stauber? Can anyone stop Tom Emmer?

On the morning of the assassinations in Minnesota, I remember hearing reporting about police observing the suspect shoot Mr. Hortman, and then discovering her body much later via drone.

I love that the strib is bringing back listicles.

I am still puzzling when and why everyone decided to just stop using turn signals (blinkers).

My own book FAST & FURIOUS FRANCHISING: HOW THE SERIALIZED BLOCKBUSTER REMADE HOLLYWOOD will be the next title in the new book series Mass Markets: Storyworlds Across Media from @uminnpress.bsky.social. Out next April!

After return of Upper Sioux land, tribe and state look to future The tribe plans to introduce bison on the former state park land while counties have state funds at their disposal for recreation nearby.

“Bringing back bison on Upper Sioux is a reason and purpose to symbolically restore health to a people who were once starving... To our Dakota People... bison are standing beside us in solidarity of our survivability.” www.minnpost.com/greater-minn...

This is so good, and such an important subject!

Is the word "afterword" spelled "afterward" in British English? Or does The Guardian need more copyediting?

The cover of the book “Sounds from the other Side” with a jazz ensemble depicted.

Wonderful book about the richness and complexity of Black-South Asian cultural connections (in case that topic might be in the water atm), in music specifically.

Waking up in Duluth, Minnesota, where the July summer temps are pushing 58 degrees F today... 😆

What a sad day for balanced news and culture in this country. I grew up on PBS programming, as a kid and nerdy teenager. I listen to NPR and MPR every day for news and stories. Institutions like this, once diminished, will not be rebuilt without immense public will.

The next Verso Palestine Pamphlet from Adam Hanieh, Robert Knox, and Rafeef Ziadah is here 🇵🇸

Thank you for following us. 💯

Just finding out that Mamdani *never once* visited the deserts of Arizona during this primary campaign.

It's one pastrami sandwich, Michael, what could it cost? 70 dollars?

How about fighting for better jobs for the people of the Northland, not prison jobs.

Dune: Awakening has already become a top-played game for me. I've finally made it to the Deep Desert, no interest in PVP, just building up my base.

Other games I've been enjoying: Cult of the Lamb and The Alters.

This episode in particular would be of interest to parents with kids using social media. I sent this to a few parents I knew when it first aired.

Very proud to see advances for Mark Griffith's CHECKPOINT 300, a sensitive, detailed, and impeccably researched study of Israel's spatial control over Palestinians.

These are excellent documentaries produced by top talent at @mprnews.org. Mental health is a huge issue in this country and it's complicated. This series leans into the challenges.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

Toni Morrison when an author rejected her book cover: "If you wanted an anonymous, plain, uneventful, recessive jacket you never should have come to this publisher... Remove the jacket and your book will die in every bookstore in this country."

—Dana Williams, "Toni at Random"

I had a great time at NAISA, but it was too short, too hectic, not enough time to hug everyone.

THANK YOU for reading the ms prep guide 🥹

Frey and the Minneapolis Police are bleeding this city dry, and yet no police around to keep people safe.
