See @tcboyle.com short story Big Game. Chef’s kiss!

On the trail with the hunters who believe shooting big game can save Africa’s wildlife The long read: One way to pay for wildlife conservation is to allow the rich to bag a few animals for high prices. But is it just an exercise in colonialism?

Rich fuckers pay big bucks to kill beautiful creatures for no particular reason so that, in theory, it'll help preserve them?

I have a problem with this.

Yes!

Middle Aisle: Does Minnesota really want citizen legislators? We say serving in the Legislature is a part-time job for 'normal' citizens, but then we ask legislators not to make typical human mistakes.

"The pay (currently $51,750) is low enough that many legislators need a second job, yet the logistics around holding outside employment are tight enough that only a small segment of Minnesotans can realistically make that work." www.minnpost.com/community-vo...

The passive voice is even more wild when you open up the article and it says they suspect he was driving under the influence. What a joke

ICE detained more than 70 Minnesota children, data reveals Immigration officials detained more than 70 Minnesota children between Dec. 1 and March 10, a Sahan analysis of court records and federal deportation data shows.

"Of the children who were detained, nearly two dozen were held in custody for more than 20 days, in violation of a longstanding legal settlement. Teens who were detained alone were sent to Christian youth shelters in Michigan." sahanjournal.com/immigration/...

Everyone's dunking on this but no one has considered that this is just a clever way to get around restrictions on biological warfare. We'll just drop horrifically ill antivaxx troops behind enemy lines and let nature take its course

Most Americans know what it would take to fix our broken country

- Abolish Citizens United
- Outlaw foreign influence
- End the electoral college
- Tax the oligarchs
- Reestablish rule of law
- Strict separation of church & state

It’s whether we have the courage to change our self-destructive ways

So much of our language reflects
the common “car first” bias around our streets, & we should never forget that much of that language was the result of deliberate campaigns to specifically re-write our perspective of streets as “for cars only.” This is one of the more subtle, but important, examples.

This booming Twin Cities suburb wants to pause new construction Lakeville’s proposal is the latest response to a package of bills before the Legislature that would loosen zoning rules in an effort to solve the housing crisis.

Can Seattle mayor's approach to homelessness gain traction where past efforts failed? | Editorial Seattle's mayor is staking her political future on making progress on homelessness. Questions remain in the policy details and residents deserve answers.

Seattle Times is still talking about "mandating treatment" as a necessary condition of having a place to sleep out of the rain. You can't get furious about the persistence of tents and also say people in active addiction don't deserve shelter.

I don't think I'll ever get over Clarence Thomas ruling on cases related to Jan 6 knowing that his wife was an active participant in the attempted coup.

Or ruling on cases related to government regulations and a wealth tax knowing he took gifts from billionaires.

It's a disgrace.
