Re the 2nd part, not saying this is the appropriate response in all cases, but I’m glad folks all but ignored his latest idiocy. This is the tell I look for when charismatic pols are done in the public mind; I remember folks tuning out Jesse Ventura which was the tell he wasn’t gonna run again.
Kendal KillianIs the Minnesota news adequately covering the attempted security breach of our drinking water systems by a foreign adversary? And the President essentially saying we deserve it? Seems bad.
Did they pay more than a bag of balls

Absolutely chilling story on the murder of bicylist/boxer Hannah Rapp by a crazed driver. The gruesome extrapolation of car brain includes this passage: www.espn.com/boxing/story...
If you’re an employee, your payroll tax deductions are: - 6.2% for Social Security - 1.45% for Medicare - 0.44% for paid leave (and the story doesn’t indicate it’s like to rise about 0.5% even 2 years out) … what a deal!
Minnesota ReformerMinnesota’s paid leave payroll tax will remain at 0.88% in 2027, the state announced Friday — but a new actuarial analysis indicates the program may need to increase the rate in 2028 to abide by state law.

It’s a beautiful building but like a Frank Lloyd Wright home the bespoke systems don’t wear well.

“I haven't even mentioned that these alleged incidents took place while ICE was terrorizing the city. For me personally, it's immediately disqualifying. And it wasn't even my ass getting grabbed.”

I did the math & the Twins paid an extra $220k for acquiring Minter three games before Monday’s deadline.
Bobby NightengaleThe trade is now official. The Twins are picking up A.J. Minter’s salary, which is around $3.6M. Minter is in the second year of his two-year, $22 million contract.

I think this is good, even with (because of?) the criticism of Bluesky. For myself, I’m super-grateful for my daily water cooler here, especially because I’ve made friends of a lot of you & honestly it makes me feel less old. But social media has to sustain you. 1/x

By all rights this should be the end for Taylor Rogers, but he’s a vet
Bobby NightengaleThe Twins are acquiring lefty reliever A.J. Minter from the Mets, confirming what ESPN first reported. GM Jeremy Zoll getting a start on his mission to add to the bullpen. Minter had a 2.35 ERA in 23 appearances with the Mets.
284 no-hitters since 1901 34 “ultimate slams” (team down 3-0 wins on a slam) since 1910 22 perfect games since 1901 … always hoped I’d witness a no-no, got something much rarer.
Mike FreibergDidn’t know there was such a thing as an “ultimate” grand slam. My state senator should throw out the first pitch more often. www.mlb.com/news/all-tim...
