A personal update: I have been unemployed long enough to finally follow through on a project I've long toyed with. For years, I've been following Minnesota's appellate dockets and posting about notable or interesting cases and decisions.
Now, I've spun that off into @minnappct.watch

@lollardfish.bsky.social do you know of any accessible books covering the medieval scholastics (even tangentially)? I followed the “standing on the shoulders of giants” down a rabbit hole to Fulbert at the Chartres cathedral school. And the “pre-science” period seems interesting.

Tennessee Titans press conferences seems to be incredible content, paused while channelsurfing at a presser where they asked the coach how he plans to come out this week with a win and he goes "lets not get ahead of ourselves here"

DJ Taylor is spreading the Black and Blue spirit this week. He stopped by El Burrito Mercado to grab groceries to donate to Comunidades Latinas Unidas En Servicio (CLUES), and learned about their new community space in Saint Paul.

Another @jonmarthaler.com appreciation tweet. He writes such a fun, easy gamer with soul — and that’s just not easy to do; ask me, I know. I have a gift for you all: www.startribune.com/takeaways-mi...
Takeaways: Minnesota United advance in MLS playoffs after surviving red card, 10-round shootout with Seattle
The Loons took a second-half lead playing with only 10 men, and goalkeeper Dayne St. Clair converted a penalty before getting help from the crossbar for a 7-6 shootout victory.

156 years ago today, Rutgers beat Princeton 6–4 in the first American intercollegiate football game (though it looked a lot more like soccer).
Two 25-player teams tried to kick a round ball through the goal (running with the ball wasn't allowed)
1-0 Rutgers!

fun fact: Halloween in the north of England used to be known as nut-crack night.
people would mark nuts with the names of lovers and place them around a fire.
nuts that sizzled, spat or jumped indicated romantic incompatibility. nuts that burned together suggested peaceful, happy partnerships.

It's not in this article but the government asserts that the sandwich was thrown at "point blank range", which implies subway sandwiches have defined effective weapon ranges of varying lethality, and I would like to see the government's chart of these ranges.
