In case you think this is just a college booster issue, remember that the NHL once approved the sale of a team to the guys who made the “Saw” movies — literally that was their only qualification.

"Reserve Block 40 appears to be something of an afterthought, which perhaps belies some of the interesting facts related to its birth.

It should not come as a surprise that the official history of the park is ambiguous."

I cannot get over how insane it is that Ro Khanna is the Dems point person on the Epstein files.

Maybe let us find a member of congress who is not extremely close with people in said files? That would be nice!

If the complaint was filed more than a month ago, which PAC is lobbying news outlets to carry this trash story, and they're falling for it? www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne... - The evidence is clear this is nothing but the headlines don't show that at all. This is pure propaganda TRASH from Frey.

Hey @wcconews.bsky.social Why such a big story about the vandalism at Temple Isreal and not one mention of the vandalism on Johnson Street targeting @omarfatehmn.com & the Somali Community, following on the heels of the fire at a Mosque? Fateh has received non-stop threats where is coverage of that?

I put GenZ & TikTokers on blast for this long ago when prices skyrocketed & I couldn't get my fave Old Home full fat #CottageCheese which I've been eating for 40+ years! It has been a staple of my VERY limited diet for >5yrs, I cant eat much more than that, yogurt, cereal & nutrition shakes.

Why is cottage cheese suddenly so popular?

It's a pretty polarizing food — some love it, some not so much. Cottage cheese has been hard to find recently because sales are skyrocketing.
