every time you think the new WaPo editorial board can't embarrass itself any more, they manage to find a way.
Left: 'Texas gerrymandering is no big deal!', from August.
Right: 'Maryland gerrymandering is an affront to Western civilization!', from today.

Have to give a shoutout to 112 Eatery in downtown Minneapolis. Had a party of 8 Thursday night, including 3 from out of town, and most of us our first time. Great service, great food, accommodated a bday. Place was full for most of the 3 hours we were there on both levels. Will definitely be back.

Her husband told her that detainees at Broadview had to get up at 5am to get in line for one bathroom. He often peed himself. One time he had to wait until 2pm to use the bathroom. You could only use the bathroom once a day. He said the agents would beat you if you used the bathroom on yourself.

Would guess @olsenforparks.bsky.social is the new Parks chair if he wants it; will be fun to see good folks on Minneapolis Planning Commission and Board of Estimate.
New Park Board could be friendlier to labor, bikes and other progressive platform issues.
Winners declared in Minneapolis park, tax board seats

A bummer as I really liked his 1st half energy and play.
Dillingham with a few ugly plays here. Finch will sit him at the quarter break, I'd assume.

Two great passes into end zone by JJ. Addison couldn’t reel in the first. JJ catches the second to tie the game for Vikings. Decent start.

Rarely do you hear even I, the edgiest of online personalities, begin a post with "Barf." So it means a lot when the mild mannered environmentalists at our Sierra Club chapter are so disgusted with the Frey slate of candidates.
Barf. Here's the "Team Mpls" plan to “address climate change.” No mention of getting off fossil fuels. Nothing on electrification. Nothing on renewable energy, transit or building housing near transit. Just trees and carbon capture(?). This fluff could have been written by the Koch Bros (1/2)

Timberwolves were -12 in final minute of quarters 1 and 2 vs. Lakers. Did better in 3 and 4, but not good enough.
Only basket Lakers had in final 2:30 was the winner. 😬

the end of quarter stuff is getting to the point where it’s so consistent i want to start thinking if finch is responsible but i just can’t imagine he’s at practice saying “okay and when there’s 10 seconds left i want you all to suck really badly. play like total numbskulls”

Timberwolves observations:
Jaylen Clark will be huge this season. need his stout presence back in the rotation.
Missed 3 dunks vs. Lakers. Lost by 1.
When there was good D, Lakers got the roll for a bucket. Killer.
Donte off. foul late on fast break was just a dumb play.

Oof. Skattebo just fractured his ankle on that incompletion. Gross. Feel bad for him. Dart is not pleased either.

Today is Day 24 of the Republican shutdown. Your regular reminders:
1. Republicans control the White House, Senate and House.
2. GOP making deep cuts to Medicaid, Medicare and ACA.
3. Democrats are fighting to lower costs, cancel the cuts and save healthcare for Americans.

Trump’s priority is building a new White House ballroom.
Not you. Not your grocery bill. Not your healthcare.

If the Timberwolves have the ball with less than 10 seconds left in a quarter it is basically a guarantee that the other team is going to score somehow

So much egg on the faces of people who wanted to rebuild Hennepin Ave exactly as it was before. So that, after paying the price of a two year reconstruction, it would have reopened just as shitty and dangerous as ever. You should support local candidates who are brave enough to fix our streets.
