Just over here, mostly posting about the #Timberwolves. Sometimes, health care comes up too.
The biggest problem with The Social Reckoning is there wasn’t really a reckoning. It was infuriating to watch and think how little has actually changed. Maybe the Social Evasion is a better title?

I do get why this makes sense, but it also feels like a bit of a kick in the teeth to fans to retire his jersey on the night Boston is here.
Not only are the Wolves retiring KG's No. 21 against the Boston Celtics, but they're also holding 5 KG theme nights on top of 15 other promotional nights. https://bringmethesports.com/wolves-to-retire-kevin-garnetts-21-after-celtics-game-5-kg-theme-nights-revealed

This needs to be stopped. We don’t need more data centers, especially in residential areas. You can see all the apartment and condos in this picture that will be massively affected!
A Virginia developer wants to redevelop the old Star Tribune printing plan into a data center in North Loop. This is on a 13-acre site by the river. This is exactly why CM @aurinmpls.bsky.social & I authored a data center moratorium & we were told to not worry. 1/

This will be the easiest finals to cheer for (barring the Wolves ever getting there). Kat deserves a title and I really hope he gets it. What he brought to Minnesota in both play and community can’t be overstated. Never thought I’d cheer for them, but Go Knicks!

Trump: "We have a thing called a war, or as they would rather say, a military operation. It's for legal reasons. Because as a military operation, I don't need any approvals. As a war you're supposed to get approval from Congress. Something like that. So I call it a military operation."

On the screen was a Zoom call with a judge and several lawyers and doctors.
She was in court, a nurse told her. The reason? For failing to agree to a C-section.
