This story is fascinating! My kids' high school has a new SRO this year, and he's just as personable and as fun as our last SRO (who left because she's having a baby).

WOW. “I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.” From the blistering resignation letter of Hagan Scotten, registered Republican and former DOJ prosecutor.

Whenever we get cold without snow, I feel cheated. Like: Come on, Minnesota! If we have to endure negative degrees, at least make it pretty! Bitter cold with brown ground and gray skies makes me feel Grinchy.
Here it comes, Minnesota.
The season's coldest air mass so far feeds in subzero air and light snow over the next few days. ❄️
But highs in the 30s return next weekend!

This week's Big Books and Bold Ideas show on @mprnews.org is fascinating, especially if you're a science nerd. Historian Elsa Richardson digests (heh) centuries of science and philosophy about how we view our guts and shares it all in her new book, "Rumbles."
The gut's curious history
Historian Elsa Richardson’s new book, “Rumbles,” takes us on a fascinating tour of the gut’s medical and cultural past.

I've given up expecting (and ergo, hoping) for a white Christmas in the Twin Cities. But it still bums me out when the 10-day looks like this. I'd rather have snow in December than in March. The last decade of Decembers has mostly been a disappointment.

I binged "A Man on the Inside" this weekend, because I'm a sitcom girl. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

It's a fantastic watch. Comedic, yes -- but the way they handle Alzheimer's is the main reason I recommend it. It accurately depicts what my siblings and I lived through the last few years. Tears amid the laughter.

I think Anna buried the lead here.

Coming soon to @mprnews.org -- a hopeful conversation about inclusion.✨ Last night, we recorded a North Star Journey Live conversation at Concordia College with people who work with new Americans in the Fargo-Moorhead area. Plus: international students shared their stories of belonging.
