They were the 1 seed. This was their chance for revenge against the Liberty. The Lynx are supposed to be the one MN team that doesn’t choke in the playoffs.

Can someone tell the Lynx the playoffs started before they play themselves out of it?

A week ago, Minneapolis Public Schools announced a plan to close over a dozen schools. It’s a bad plan a small group of people want to quickly sneak through. There’s a recent study by Stanford that addresses school closures with some interesting results. ed.stanford.edu/news/closing...

Closing schools may not improve districts’ financial standing, Stanford study finds
An analysis of California public school districts indicates that those embarking on school closures did not, on average, see a net financial benefit.

Between work, coaching soccer practice, the PTO meeting to prevent my child’s school from closing, and the dog’s vet visit, I forgot to do yesterday’s crossword. Thanks to the grace period of the Times, I was able to finish yesterday’s and today’s puzzles to keep my streak alive!

Obviously the main problems with the occupation are those of basic humanity, morality, and legality, etc. But the economic impact is ABSOLUTELY worth highlighting, too. It's real bad!

What has surprised me is that: 1. Texas gov tried to prevent this man’s extradition… 2. the neighbors rose up and forced ICE to retreat, even leave equipment and records behind… 3. We actually will get to prosecute him (state charges, so no Trump pardon)… 4. Most never heard about this incident!

A good reminder that when you enjoy something someone has done -- a book they wrote, a performance they gave, a speech they made, whatever -- it is incredibly powerful to just reach out and tell them directly.
