Today is raccoon day where anything of value is cleared from the fridge and pantry before tomorrow’s “back to routine” shop. My evidence for today “crisp cookies”. Thin shortbread from a holiday basket that weren’t of value till the end of the holiday!

Proud former Minnesotan. Somali immigrants have been welcomed and naturalized. Keep going fellow citizens.
I am a citizen and so are majority of Somalis in America. Good luck celebrating a policy change that really doesn’t have much impact on the Somalis you love to hate. We are here to stay 💁🏽♀️

We should not be surprised where America is now, after all, there was a time white men wouldn’t allow white women to have anything “without permission”.

Since the Ezra & Ta-Nehisi discussion is still happening: the main point I think most are missing is that Klein is saying the role of the journalist-intellectual is to do strategic politics, whereas Coates says the role of the journalist-intellectual is to tell the truth

Am enjoying mine! Grateful to have solid EV options.
Polestar 3 sets a Guinness World Record for longest drive by a production electric SUV—581.3 mi (935.4 km) on one charge. Achieved in the UK with a single-motor RWD model at 12.1 kWh/100 km. It’s the SUV champ, though the Lucid Air sedan still holds the overall EV record at 749 mi (1,205 km). #EVs

In this commentary, @dbrauer.net makes the argument that Saturday's mayoral endorsement does matter, and that it punches a hole in Frey's air of inevitability. Brauer writes in response to our editor Patrick's newsletter saying endorsement means very little. minnesotareformer.com/2025/07/24/t...
The DFL mayoral endorsement might just matter after all — and it should • Minnesota Reformer

Brilliant. For minds that don’t always follow the plot, The Onion is a really good plot to follow!
I got permission to share this, and I'm extremely grateful for that.
The Onion got this letter from one of our subscribers in Alaska. She works with dementia patients and decided to leave a copy in the car for each one.
This email made my year. Read it and you'll see what I mean. People are good.
