iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Another good piece. Was thinking this yesterday after the newser. Totally accept people’s skepticism — mine is primarily how long Tom Pohlad will stick to a higher payroll and of course how high it will be, but I’m reasonably convinced they’ll go up by multiple 10s of millions.

Did you see Schmitt telling TMZ they checked all the NBA & men’s college games and lol these groypers stepped on their tiny dicks not acknowledging women’s basketball (while also lying; there were multiple NBA games that night).

The latest stop on “David the Jew’s Tour of Every Local Church“ for observer & democracy defense training was Mt. Olive at 31st/Chicago. It’s a landmark because it sits where 31st jogs a bit south at Chicago. Lovely people who wanted me to know they welcome any community meeting that needs space.

Enjoyed this analysis. (Well, I don’t enjoy taking the craftiness out of the game but I do enjoy the thoughtfulness of the writer & also a consistent strike zone.)

Haven’t seen Jacob look as shaky, did the BET rejection of his parks-cutting scheme take the stuffing out of him?

Come to see Eric Schmitt try to chuckle his way through his obvious humiliation. Stay to watch Amy Klobuchar dunk on Eric Schmitt for a *2nd* time today.

Wonder how these shellackings affect Phee re-signing? (This is sincere, not taunting. Lynx kinda finished the season a lot closer to where folks thought they would pre-season.)

The best part is that Schmitt was so proud of accusing Smith of being in Atlanta based on his attendance at a University of Maryland that he planted this story about how he's a RED HOT VEEP CANDIDATE with Jim Vandehei in advance of the hearing:

Listened to a video w/a Latino Trump voter holding firm despite loathing immigration raids that have even taken people close to her. Explained her evolution from center-left to right, w/COVID as linchpin, making me how many people became insane then & but more importantly, largely remain that way.

Schmitt: So, Mr. Hawk. It appears you're not a bird. You can't fly. Hawkeye: I'm Hawkeye, not Hawk. I'm a member of the Avengers. Schmitt: So you can't fly. Gotcha! Hawkeye: You're confusing me with Falcon. He flies. Klobuchar: My colleague should know the MCU before making wild accusations...

Not a big PSA guy but I’d say this is a pretty strong rallying cry Peggy Flanagan, Matt Little, etc could use (maybe they are; I dunno).

I’ve successfully battled political poll addiction so far (#pleaseclap) but continue to believe all is prelude to the 2027 health insurance increases that will slam into voters beginning Thursday (Medicare/Advantage/Part D/MnSure). I know hikes like Part D for my mom-in-law already hitting mailboxes

Caught two mice in two traps last night, as close as I’ll get to hunting. First time I’ve been successful in several years (we get invasions once every 3-4 years … it‘s an old house & we’re past cat ownership …)

I haven’t seen the final roll call but Klobuchar & Smith both voted for cloture. (The roll call vote was v close to the cloture vote.) I‘m not for restraining labor’s right to make a living outside of collective bargaining so I’d have voted no.

Interim Minneapolis police chief says he inherited a budget ‘mess’

Weird, the Minneapolis City Council was right. I feel like the Frey administration was singing a different tune that their All of Mpls lackeys were amplifying, but mayor Isn‘t pit on the spot here. That’s only for progressive electeds. www.startribune.com/minneapolis-... (gift link)

Police leaders acknowledged during a City Council budget meeting that overtime was handed out too loosely in years past and said they’re now monitoring it more closely.

Steve was the affable PR flack for the Strib when I covered the media for MinnPost. Remember, a publisher has two basic jobs: find basketfuls of money & stay out of journalists’ way. Rooting for him, even though I will continue to wish MinnPost had more alt-weekly DNA and less Strib DNA.
