Star Tribune is at it again...
1) Even most Republican voters are against data centers. Funny you micro-focus this ONLY on Democrats in tighter races.
2) When was the last time the Star Tribune did a story on how much most unions HATE Republicans?
3) A Republican smear campaign disguised as "news."

I wasn't sure if I'd written something with the word “lizard” in it, and obviously I have a micro-fiction (folk story) involving a crow collecting shiny objects. #WIPSnips

Every one feels very clearly like HIS version of the story while still making fans feel satisfied and I want to break it down at a micro-level.

County reduces ARPA small-business pool after stringent federal documentation limits recipients to 58 applicants
El Paso County amended an ARPA technical-assistance agreement with the El Paso Hispanic Chamber, deobligating $315,000 after auditors and the chamber found only 58 of the initially interested micro and small businesses met federal record requirements; staff said outreach produced a large applicant pool but federal CFR 200 documentation rules limited eligibility.

Inspired by a query about flash fiction - we love flash fiction. Yet longer fiction can develop plot, theme, character and setting in a way that flash can't.
Meanwhile a 4,500 word story might ramble compared to the bright, single focus of a 500 word micro-fiction.

India's angel ecosystem must be built on informed trust
As entrepreneurial energy plays an ever-larger role in India’s success story, we present a package of weekly opinion articles by members of TiE, a global organization for startups and entrepreneurs. From the rural reach of India’s startup revolution and the easing of capital and compliance challenges to the role of angel investors, how startups and micro, small, and medium enterprises must grow together and how best to track innovation, TiE authors cover a wide spectrum of relevant issues. *** In 2000, when we started MeritTrac, the Indian startup ecosystem as we know it today did not exist. There were no incubators, very limited institutional funding avenues and almost no established playbook for first-time entrepreneurs. Our first investment came from an “angel investor” in Shivamogga. He did not have a formal accreditation certificate. Nor did we have the credentials, revenues or valuation benchmarks that founders routinely present today. What we had was an idea, an early plan and the conviction that we could build something meaningful. He trusted us with his money. For us, that cheque was never merely a financial transaction. It was an act of faith and an enormous responsibility. As entrepreneurs, we knew we had to live up...
