Not sure what he would do with our plans for cattle on solar facilities...
Trump on US environmentalists: "'No more cows, we don't want cows anymore.' I guess they want to kill all the cows."

Would you use public dollars to help fund a target center replacement if at least half of all games played there (Lynx and Wolves) were on a local, free broadcast?
I know this isn’t realistic with the nba tv contract, but I’m curious.

Her name was Melissa Hortman. She and her husband Mark were shot and killed in their home in an act of vicious political violence. She was Minnesota’s Speaker of the House Emerita. They were dog lovers. Amateur bakers. Great parents. Best friends.
You should know their names.

Reporter: Do you think it would have been fitting to lower the flags for Melissa Hortman who was killed as well?
Trump: Uh, I’m not familiar, who?

Really burying the lede in this article: "One way to minimize nutrient runoff... is to use city-made compost [food and yard waste] in the rain gardens rather than compost made from manure, which tends to have higher concentrations of phosphorus." www.startribune.com/minneapolis-...
Minneapolis rain gardens were built to reduce water pollution. Research shows they’re making it worse.
The city may retrofit its rain gardens to prevent phosphorus from contaminating lakes.

Embarrassing. Even if you think Lia “cheated” (which is ridiculous), you’re going to make Penn apologize? The Houston Astros are walking around with a World Series while they *openly* actually cheated with no consequences, but we’re making a college athlete who compiled to every rule apologize? Dumb
JUST IN: UPenn will strip a trans swimmer, Lia Thomas, of her records and ban trans athletes in women’s sports, caving to Trump admin demands.
Trans swimmer Lia Thomas' records revoked in UPenn deal with Trump admin
Thomas was the first transgender athlete to win an NCAA Division I title in 2022.

Maybe unpopular opinion? Every time I cross the wave bridge just north of Franklin on Bryant, if I see graffiti, I wish a massive fine on that person. Not jail by any means, but maybe five years’ worth of repainting fees (~$50k). They could reduce by having a mural or something. Just no graffiti

Seeing a lot of Atlanta Braves jerseys around north loop today. I assume they are Anthony Edwards fans catching the afternoon Twins game before heading to target center tonight? Awesome day for that Minnesota sports double header.

Bench needs to show up and make some buckets and we’ll be fine in this series. Would love if the refs let us (mainly Jaden) be as physical on defense as their entire team is. Would also be great to stop rewarding flops.
