“Trump Derangement Syndrome” is a fun little concept. There absolutely are normal Trump decisions that make people madder bc they dislike him so much. But if you’d said two years ago, “Trump will threaten to bulldoze the Kennedy Center unless his name is on it,” you’d have been hospitalized for late stage TDS.

"ESPN personality Pat McAfee released an album of original music on Friday. Critics say if the album is played backwards, the listener could hear hidden demonic messages. More worrying still, if the album is played forward, the listener could hear original music by Pat McAfee."

Just so non-golfers know... No 80-year-old on earth with a pancake swing and the chip yips has ever shot TEN SHOTS under his age. Club members let him win because nobody wants to get audited the rest of their lives. #CommanderInCheat

Our summer intern, Anya, has been fantastic This is her last week This story, which ran in yesterday’s paper, is my favorite thing she’s done. It’s a blast to read A day in the life of the screaming, oinking, bottle-fed face of the Saints: HaMelo Ball twincities.com/2026/08/03/a-…

Mel Brooks is 100 years old today! Many people think that Mel is my father.  He isn’t.  But what he is is one of the great comic minds of the last 100 years.  Happy birthday Mel, from your fake son.

The last time the Knicks had a lead in the NBA Finals was June 17th, 1994. Yes, the same day as this:

The Venn diagram of Americans who can--plainly and in public, without fear or favor--state the following two truths is depressingly small: 1. None of the attempts on Trump's life were staged. 2. Biden won the 2020 presidential election, which was not "rigged" as Trump claims.

No. The Wonger was a one-person gang for lower-budget St. Paul at ‘80 Olympics — writing for both Pioneer Press & Dispatch, vs. six-seven reporters from morning Tribune & afternoon Star. Gregg & Herbie were tight, which helped.

Were you at that game, Patrick?

Shirley Povich from 1962, with the most immaculate burn ever on the Redskins vile owner George Preston Marshall, the last NFL owner to insist on an all white roster: "Jim Brown, born ineligible to play for the Redskins, integrated their end zone three times yesterday." RIP WaPo.

The extent to which residents of Minneapolis are more civic, courageous, and patriotic than business elites, conservative luminaries, and Republican members of Congress, is really striking. It’s a lesson not to be forgotten. It’s one that would not have surprised Hubert Humphrey.

I make no apology for posting this photo. I think it’s a photo that will haunt America in the years to come. This is what you have become. If you defend this, have a word with yourself.

I work in downtown Minneapolis. You guys have seen the video of the crowds today. These aren’t paid protestors or AI. Don’t listen to fake Christians…

I have always avoided talking about politics on this account. But this is my breaking point. I can't say nothing while ICE is going around executing people in broad daylight in my city, blocks from where I live. They murdered a second person this morning. And I don't want to hear for a second that "he had a gun." Republicans' entire thing is about being pro-2A, that people have the right to be armed against a tyrannical government. Now a textbook example of government tyranny unfolds before you and your immediate response is to take their side? It makes no sense. There were at least 7 federal agents on top of that man. IF he was armed, the video appears to show that he was disarmed before the shots were fired. There is absolutely zero justification for his killing. This is yet another example of these ICE agents being untrained, hate-filled escalators who are seeking out this kind of violence. They aren't making our community safer, they're making it 1000 times more dangerous. Everyone can agree that violent criminals, of all backgrounds, should be prosecuted and jailed. A conversation can be had about immigration policy. But this isn't working. This has to stop. ICE has to get out of Minneapolis.
