This one is good, and you should also find the video of Jack Black as Jack Sabbath doing War Pigs with Tom Morrello’s kid on guitar and Scott Ian’s kid on bass with Geezer Butler playing too. Power to the People seems like it ripped!

I always thought my first appearance on public radio would be telling a droll little anecdote for the introduction to an episode of This American Life, but I suppose talking about the horrors visited by our monstrous federal government upon my neighbors is the next best thing.

I cannot stress enough how much the current precarity so many of us are feeling is just a direct result of the ways in which resource hoarding has created artificial scarcity. This is true across our personal lives, orgs, institutions, and even government. Its fingerprints are on every budget gap.

seeing conservative men debate how to dress online is very funny. can't dress up or wear interesting casualwear bc you've made any visible interest in dress to be a sign of homosexuality. but you feel the need to dress better bc you've linked dress to respectability. a prison of your own making.

THIS. Someone from a school that isn’t closing came to today’s event and said her kid isn’t impacted—she meant her kid’s pathway. But closed schools mean larger class sizes for her kid’s pathway as well as transportation costs and problems.

To paraphrase @diplomatofnight.com, behold the American shoot-and-cry mentality come home. He has learned nothing, his sadness means nothing, because he will do nothing different

He was beginning to believe that the Trump administration was "a joke," and that the Democrats were no better. "Everything is broken," Jack said.

A 17-month-old girl was hospitalized with E. coli after consuming raw milk. Soon, another child — a 6-year-old girl who’d drunk milk from the same farm — would wind up in the same San Diego hospital, with the same potentially fatal illness.

Wow, @startribune.com. This is absolutely irresponsible and needs an immediate retraction. Refuting your own headline right in the story.

Police: Shooting at Eden Prairie homecoming game was gang-related

Police did not specifically say that Somali gangs were involved, but Rep. Tom Emmer and others posted on social media calling the incident a “Somali gang crime.” This summer, Ramsey County Sheriff Bob Fletcher issued a public warning of what he described as a surge of violence involving Somali gangs.

Charlie Rybak’s dad, RT Rybak, bares a large responsibility for the managed decline of MPS as one of the charter school movements first & loudest supporters. Michael Baskins WANTS to close MPS schools. he said it at the SAENA candidate forum on wed., sept. 16. plz DO NOT let this man win.

Michael Baskins, running for Minneapolis School Board, has a really impressive background and vision. Lots here on transparency and financial responsibility. He's a mechanical engineer and emphasizes collaboration. Seems like exactly what we need. baskinsforschoolboard.com/my-vision/

Survey reads" Do you support a data center in vacant downtown real estate"
