I know how people on here feel about Klobuchar, but I have a hunch she's going to surprise a lot of Dems and progressives with how aggressive (in a good way) she's going to be when she's governor.

The flag is unpopular among many people for very dumb reasons. But aesthetically, it is pretty basic. I would have preferred going with an expand d version of the center area of the seal. That loom is bad ass.

The seal of Minnesota, with a loon, some wheat, a couple trees, and the North Star.

Why does everyone assume that if Klobuchar is elected governor that she'd choose her replacement? I'd assume if she wins, she would resign so she can focus on the transition and Walz would choose the replacement, right? Or did I miss something?

This sure is a...choice, for several reasons. 1) It was built by the city of Appleton at the height of the early 90s prison boom as a economic booster. It was sold to CoreCivic in 1997. It was not built for its practicality; it was built to be provide jobs for the very small, rural town.

My uni has transitioned to a new IRB system, and I love that instead of automating the process to move current IRBs from the old system to the new system, I got to spend my morning moving each current IRB manually, question by question.

With respect, and this is NOT a defense of Trump (who I loathe), I know people who did decades of prison time for felonies and who now SAVE LIVES in their communities Trump is unrepentant, a bad person, and should not be President, but it has NOTHING to do with having felony convictions

Oof I do not like Criminology's new review system for reviewers. Someone thought, "Hey, you know those LORs where you have to write the letter but also answer a bunch of arbitrary ranking drop downs? What if we incorporated that into peer review??" This has to be Wiley's doing, right?

Maybe it's because I come from the sticks of southern MN, but I've never heard anyone say "Totenkopf." I know what the symbol is (and i knew a few performative edgelords who tried to "shock" people by wearing rings or shirts with the symbol),* but I've only ever heard it called a "death's head."

What in the world? Not only is this obnoxiously lazy, all the "AI tools" are doing is running web searches. They don't have any magical access to realtime knowledge. This is embarrassing, especially for an organization that has been such a well regarded news source.

Screenshot from an MPR News article:

"What cities are flying the old state flag?
MPR News used AI tools LocalLens and ChatGPT to identify cities and towns across Minnesota where city councils discussed the state flag or local news outlets covered debates around the flag and then verified each instance. It’s possible there are more areas debating the flag than are covered in this story."

Games like this (par for the course with MN sports teams) may be one contributing factor for high rates of hypertension in MN.

Map showing age-adjusted hypertension mortality rates by U.S. state in 2024 (deaths per 100,000). Minnesota stands out as one of the highest-rate states in the upper Midwest, falling in the 16.32–<20.4 range (darkest red), alongside Mississippi, Alabama, and Tennessee. Most surrounding states are in lighter orange or yellow tiers, making Minnesota’s rate notably elevated for its region.
