i've been really wrong about a lot of things but this is maybe the most wrong i've been about something. i really thought the piggies would want some slop!
Trump recently promised $5,000 checks to
every adult citizen if Republicans win the U.S. House and Senate majorities in November. In this WI poll, 29% say they favor this, 70% say
they oppose this. #mulawpoll

sometimes if you have mobility requirements, many reasons. AND if you say public transit work won't work for you and you haven't tried it, I would strongly advise you to try it. Maybe it won't work, for all trips. Maybe it will work for all of them, & you'll actually enjoy the time not in a car.

gonna piggy back on this good thread and say that yes, there are some real obstacles to using public transit and there are reasons it can't be everyone's *main* form of transport. but there's basically no one in the twin cities who couldn't use transit more than they do now and be fine.

“I was just never going to change who I was, even when the world was asking me to change who I was, to be a character in their story.” A candid Karl-Anthony Towns goes deep with @TheAthletic on turmoil, tragedy and triumph Free to read: www.nytimes.com/athletic/761...

Karl-Anthony Towns had the last laugh. And he’s not done smiling yet (Gift Article)
For years, Towns heard he was too soft to win. Now an NBA champion, he's savoring the vindication — and the joy that got him here.

Worth the read, unsurprisingly. The moment that got me, though, is brief and way down toward the end, but I remember noticing it when it happened. KAT hugging Patrick Ewing was 1) vintage KAT 2) so damn emotional.
The legends of the past came along for the ride as well. Patrick Ewing, the man who patrolled the Garden’s paint for 15 seasons and came up achingly short of delivering a title, bonded with KAT over their shared experience of manning the middle in blue and orange. 

In the moments after the Knicks clinched the title, Towns searched out Ewing for an embrace, centers old and new, a victory for both of them. A few days later, Ewing sent Towns a text message thanking him for sharing that moment.

“I’m still pinching myself,” the message read. “I really appreciate you searching me out because that made it more special for me.”

Jordyn watched the interaction while standing next to one of Ewing’s daughters.

“She was crying, and she told me that this healed something inside of her dad,” she said.

if i had to register a guess i would say peggy flanagan's internal polls look fine and the reason they aren't releasing them is that people believing the race is a tie because of R-internals and other bad polls is good for them cause it keeps people working

We've had the ability to watch, say, Counterstrike marathons, Street Fighter tournaments, or chess matches between computers since the 90s. Spectacles which, by their very definition, would be at a "higher standard" than human play. And nobody wants it. It's entirely meaningless. It has no appeal.

Thanks to all who stopped by our Transit to Work Day celebration downtown! As regular riders know, commuting by transit is a great way to save money, ease stress, lower carbon emissions, and get the day started right.

No. Federal appropriations law has long barred using taxpayer funds for political advertising.

this is one where door knocking can make a huge difference! there are so many people who don't vote in primaries because they are just going to vote for the dfl ticket. this is a non-partisan race which means that a lot of it is just informing friendly people that cedrick is dfl endorsed!

The current widespread displeasure with MPD for mismanaging their budget was preceded by years of false claims from mindless police boosters that cops were starved of funding. It gave political cover for shoveling piles of money into a furnace as a proxy for safety.
