Jayce Frederick brought up Rick Carlisle’s quote on the Dane Moore pod today and I think it is the tale of the upcoming season. “Right now the NBA is a ‘try hard’ league.”

How Ant exemplifies that this season will determine how successful they are IMO.

Excited about Animales finally opening a permanent spot.

In addition to being really good BBQ, which we need more of in Minneapolis, owner Jon Wipfli has been a Gleeman and The Geek supporter and even helped host one of our live events.

Can't wait to go. www.startribune.com/roll-out-the...

Animales Barbeque will expand its menu and offer plenty of space for live music and kids to play in a former distillery.

When there’s no consequences for being unqualified for a job, pointing out how dumb people are doesn’t have the same punch.

So yesterday a reporter asked Donald Trump about the writ of habeas corpus, and he had no idea what it was.

"I don't know," he said. "I'd rather leave that to Kristi."

Well, It turns out Sen. Hassan asked Kristi Noem about it in May, and this was Noem's response:

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · May 20

HASSAN: What is habeas corpus?

NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country

HASSAN: That's incorrect

For more than a decade, Minnesota has allowed transgender student athletes to compete on teams consistent with their gender identity with little controversy. But following pressure from federal officials, some school board members are calling for the state to end that policy.

CW: protester being struck in the head by a pepper ball

Footage I took earlier of the moment Reverend David Black, a regular protester outside of the Broadview Detention Center, was shot in the head with a pepper ball by ICE agents on the roof of the facility.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.
