just an update from when we talked to the reporter: we’ve now successfully connected over 100 families for direct, peer to peer rent adoption. we’ve collected and immediately distributed…a lot.
it is a drop in the bucket, but all of this is. everyone is just doing what they can.

Renovation of the Lake Street/Midtown Blue Line station is delayed - MinnPost
On the up side, more time planning means less risk once the renovations finally – hopefully – begin in 2027.

Hundreds of kids are still detained.

strong agree here — have seen nothing to indicate the kid in the show was liam other than random people claiming it online. i read it as bad bunny handing a grammy to himself as a kid
Will happily delete if wrong, but all the “bad bunny gave his grammy to Liam Ramos” posts really feels like a case of how misinformation spreads in real time - one person says “it looks like him” and another QTs it like “it sure does!” and then it’s a fact.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

This is unacceptable. Violence and intimidation have no place in Minneapolis. We can disagree without putting people at risk. I’m relieved Rep. Omar is okay and appreciate MPD for responding quickly. This kind of behavior will not be tolerated in our city. www.cbsnews.com/news/rep-ilh...

As demand for classical instruments has waned over the years, Jim Phelan, who owns the A. Laubin oboe company, is determined to keep producing them. He has developed a new material to build his oboes from and hopes that will help people to keep playing for years to come.
If You Think This Instrument Is Hard to Play, Try Building One
The oboe has 500 parts. Turning a profit is a killer. But Jim Phelan is bent on reviving one of the great names in classical music.
