A lot of small businesses are showing real backbone today.
They're closing in solidarity, even though many can least afford it.

So let's make the weekend a thank-you tour.
Eat out. Get coffee. Buy the book. Tip well. Say why you're there.

Community goes both ways.

Raised fist with the Minnesota State Flag imposed over it.

Dear Sister

Dr. Cox realizes where he is.

Richie from The Bear driving a car.

This one might be cheating a bit because it comes up in the universe of the episode, but it starts as an overlay: "Love Story" by Taylor Swift

Martin Sheen (as President Bartlet) stands in front of a window with the American flag in the background.

"Brothers in Arms" by Dire Straits

What is a song from a soundtrack that you associate with a scene from a television show or film? Not looking for original music (so no "Shallow" from A Star is Born) or music that exists in the universe of the film or show (so no Glee) Thread below.

Sacrifice and the Flags of our Fathers: The 1st Minnesota at Gettysburg Editor’s Note: Since the original post in 2017, we have run this story every year on July 4th. Sacrifice Heroism seldom occurs without a mistake, and it was no different in the early evening of...

Trump can still be pope if Mike Pence has the courage.

Have we considered the possibility that the woman suing her neighbor in St. Louis Park about all the basketball shots the kids miss was thinking she lived next door to tonight's TWolves team shooting from 3?

A movie you have seen six times or more that isn't Star Wars

Angel of the Lord: He is not here, He is risen, just as He said.
Come and see the place where He lay. And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead.

Alito: Okay, first of all, this violates ALL sorts of rules

Thomas: This was a LAWFUL execution, who is God to interfere

With Boston University getting past Penn State, colleges from the State of Massachusetts (BC, BU, Mass, Harvard, and Northeastern) will play in their 36th Title Game (Men's and Women's), tying them with colleges from the State of Minnesota (U of M, UMD, SCSU, and MSU-Mankato)

State of Michigan's 19 titles also leads all states in the Men's game (Colorado and Massachusetts tied for second with 12). Looking at both Men's and Women's hockey, Michigan still has 19, tied for the most all time with Minnesota.

WMU tops Denver 3-2 in 2OT. Michigan becomes the first state to have seven different schools (Michigan, MSU, Tech, LSS, Ferris, Northern, and now WMU) play in a Men's National Championship game, breaking the tie with NY (Union, Colgate, Cornell, Clarkson, RPI, St. Lawrence).

As nerve-racking as the district court's "here is an order out of the blue via email" system may be, it is better than the Minnesota appellate courts' "We have decided your case, and we will tell you our decision in exactly 93 hours and 17 minutes" approach.

Absolutely incredible turn out at MN State Capitol! #HandsOff

"It seems to me that . . . the Government acted in bad faith." - Court

Government agrees that TRO was limited, and that to the extent Government officials have said anything to the contrary, those statements are false.

Court now in session.
