Yep. Terrible anywhere, of course

Thanks for laying that out. We got a CD at the Fetus and decided we’re good with that for now. 😅

For my part I’ve decided to pass on the Let It Be special edition 😂

I know she’s not masterminding everything but she has never seemed like a “zero input” person either

(Note: Although I made my share of appearances at the Wagon in the 2000s, the shenanigans listed above predate my arrival by many years.)

The awful news of last night’s fatal shooting at Minneapolis’ Bar Zia sent me down a Little Wagon rabbit hole (the Wagon, a longtime Strib hangout, being a previous occupant of that space below the Jerry Haaf parking ramp). You do want to read the comments on this @dbrauer.net post from MinnPost:

Judge: That's what I'll do. Prohibit federalization or deployment of any NG troops into Oregon. For all reasons in prior opinion. Deployment of federalized military is ultra vires and contrary to law, violating Title 10, section 12406. I also find it's likely that defendants violate 10th Amendment.

It’s on Minnehaha just east of Prior, but kind of in an interior parking-lot area

The 1902 game was played at Chicago’s … Marshall Field?

The early years of the Michigan-Wisconsin series were marked by catastrophic collapses of the stadiums they played in. In the Ann Arbor game, players actually helped rescue people from the wreckage.

A Trump administration official traveling in Minnesota last weekend tapped out sensitive text messages in view of the public, including discussions of sending the 82nd Airborne into Portland, Ore., and his opinion of FBI Director Kash Patel as a “giant douche canoe.”
