Rod Johnson was a cornerstone of Minnesota's outdoor adventuring community, and Midwest Mountaineering was where you went to meet and connect with people around protecting public land. He will be missed. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MV8X...

Genuinely want to know which consultant recommended Target give 100% of their corporate workforce five days of limbo on whether they keep their job, while mandating work-from-home for a week. I mean, great for morale and productivity, amirite?

As incredibly stupid, childish and destructive the White House ballroom saga is, please stop thinking there are passionate constituencies ready to leap to the defense of Warren Harding's memorial magnolia tree. It's a great metaphor and metonym, though.

20 days in to the shutdown, and with no way for the US House to reconvene (or else they'd have to deal with the Epstein discharge petition and the inability of the Speaker to advance, well, anything) and no willingness to negotiate, it's hard to see how and when this ends.
