That is kinda neat, but I'd like to see one go up at First Ave in downtown Minneapolis. I think the city would embrace that.

Cinco de Mayo deserves more celebration in the US not only for Mexico resisting French occupation, but also for the assist the Mexicans gave the Union during the Civil War, I am absolutely behind that.

I have waited...so very, very long for another space combat sim...

I want the Eagles to pick him up because I’m going on record that Carson Wentz will never play a full season and will never win a Super Bowl as a starter. I’ve come to accept this about him.

I think you are spot on about the semantics battle. The article references a rally in Powderhorn Park yesterday in which councilmembers made this pledge, and here’s some post hoc from one of them:

I think there’s confusion over what “defund the police” means. So here’s video of Frey having a bad day at the office.

God, just take that fat L right in the fucking face, Steve King.

I live in Uptown in Minneapolis, which is an area west on Lake Street from Midtown, where the 3rd Precinct is and where most of the police brutality and riot damage has been happening. Uptown has a reputation for being white and affluent, and there’s some truth to that with all the fancy condos going in and the hyper-p…

I live in Minneapolis and went out in Uptown tonight and took some pictures. The liquor store I used to work at was boarded up this morning, but by midnight the plywood was torn off again and people were raiding it. Then an hour later it was boarded up again and was quiet.

It’s not just that he’s white. White people sneer at, mock, ostracize, and generally hate on other white people all the time. It’s that he DELIVERS RACISM and THAT is the priority to his base. This is what gets me when writers and thinkers wring their hands in befuddlement, like Nichols is doing, about how Trump’s…

I’d have to trade out Magic for Wilt. I promise I’m not just Philly stanning here. Also:

I am utterly baffled at why and how anyone involved here - Summers, A.J., Armas, Affleck, whoever runs OTHER stan accounts - gives a flying fuck. But I suppose this is part of what the pandemic does to people.

A mega-fan. The term comes from the Eminem song “Stan”, and originally referred to the kind of fandom that is obsessive to the point of hostile psychosis, but it has since softened and generalized to mean any sort of enthusiastic fan.

I’m not a frequent commenter here, but I just wanted to pop up and say that headline...I c wut u did thur, The Root. Chef’s kiss.

Gronk is lovable, like Doug, the dog from Up, and I was surprised to see him make the Big Brain play and walk away from football while he could still kinda form sentences. So this news is baffling and weirdly disappointing. I hate myself for loving this stupid bloodsport.

Games Journalism has been my dream job forever, starting with reading Dan Hsu/Crispin Boyer era EGM and eventually finding dual online homes in Deadspin and Kotaku. And when I think about the games journalist I would want to be, it’s “I want to be 1/5th of Jason Schreier,” because in no way would I ever want to work…

Chris Cuomo is an articulate meathead, but his bromance with Sanjay Gupta during his daily broadcast medical consults is kinda heartmeltingly sweet. In the early days of his infection, Cuomo framed it in competitive terms, he was gonna WEIGHTLIFT the virus into submission. As Cuomo would describe his symptoms every…

Where we are right now feels a lot too close to Marshall Law for my comfort already, all in the name of a respiratory flu.
