I think one thing people outside Minnesota don't understand is that after Good and Pretti were killed by feds while observing, the most normal people you could imagine have made peace with the fact that they could be next, and they are still out there because they say it's the right thing to do.
“If I am killed doing this, throw my body at the White House, martyr the shit out of me & raise hell. Do not be sad. Do not think I would do anything differently. I would do it over & over again — this is too important to sit down & shut up and not do anything.” www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...
Pursued by federal agents, suburban ICE observers remain resolved

there isn’t a better Books desk in the country than the one at the Washington Post. I’m not really sure there’s anything else to say

there are obviously a million of these every day but: it should be an administration-ending scandal that they're all referring to ICE agents being "in theater" in Minneapolis. They are literally talking about being at war with the civilians of an American city

"rich dipshit owner doesn't understand the industry he's bought into and clumsily destroys what made it good" feels less like a narrative unique to the washington post and more like the music that's been playing in the background of all our lives for at least 40 years

killing off a major source of books coverage goes really well next to Amazon/Goodreads on Bezos' resume for being the single most destructive individual for American literary culture in our history
So fucking infuriating watching Bezos and his cronies kill the Post. Taking away sports, books, and international reporting so you can write opinions praising Trump is so damn bleak.

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

One time I saw an oblivious guy at a bar blow it with a lady because he kept talking about his sick flight simulator rig he had at home. This kind of dude is locked in
Sorry for being nosy but I’m in a pretty quiet airport. a woman sat down next to a much older pilot here in the food court and started very obviously flirting with him but he absolutely cannot stop listing off aviation facts to her regardless of whatever question she asks him

for me the other one is when a dog screws up and the announcer says, "he's not a winner but his owner is gonna make sure he feels like one" as they're petting the dog and giving it treats. this is basically how the vikings have handled JJ McCarthy
One of the classic Westminster Dog Show bits for me is when the in-arena announcer describes the dogs as like "a courageous little clown and an ideal companion" while they're trotting around. More athletic competitions need that kind of real-time commentary.

GOTDAM. That is the most Minnesotan thing I have ever heard
Person running for DFL vice chair of precinct 10-1 pledges to do a "C minus" job and attend "some meetings" but if literally anyone else is willing to do a C plus job, she would step aside.
