Fuck me, I had to check if today is the first time The Minnesota Star Tribune or any Minneapolis daily newspaper has used "What the fuck" (or a variant) in a headline—and it is.

Most of us have moved away from the old sugary yogurts to the healthier Greek or Icelandic styles.
But it's the holiday season, and I'm here to tell you that there's absolutely nothing stopping you from dumping a handful of Nerds Gummy Clusters into that yogurt right now.

Keep a close eye on your married neighbors in Minnesota today. If someone is out shoveling before the blizzard is even halfway through, that couple is going through some shit.
It's either pure MN passive aggressiveness or someone's got a score to settle in regards to who "gets things done".

Much of the cardboard and paper goods strewn about our homes are sold by a single private company, with its name, Uline, stamped on the bottom.
Many may not know that a multibillion-dollar fortune made on those ubiquitous products fuels far-right candidates across the country.

That Cardboard Box in Your Home Is Fueling Election Denial
A previously unreported boom in profits for the shipping supply giant Uline has provided the funds for a deeply conservative Midwestern family to bankroll anti-democracy causes around the country.

@ag.state.mn.us How can this possibly be allowed in the State of Minnesota? What's the plan to address this?
Legal observers at the Whipple Federal Building witnessed ICE agents swapping out license plates in the ICE staging location. Masked agents who already routinely refuse to identify themselves are now swapping license plates at whim to kidnap our neighbors and tear apart families.

Where are the "PuBLiC traNSIT LOOSES MonEY!" people?
Every year, Minnesota spends $1Billion more than it has funding to, just maintaining the overbuilt state roadway network it currently has. And @mndot.mn.gov continues to expand it.
And that is less than half of the overall roadway network in MN.
Our state has an addiction to highway expansion.
