Sorry buddy. That sounds tough. Hope this can get him on the path to health.

Q: "You had 30, seems like you didn't love your box score tonight"
Ant: "Yeah, that shit's ass"
Can’t believe the Wolves are gonna win the Championship, man.
Uh this was a joke
I went in the huddle between quarters and told them to start making every shot, you can thank me later
David Adelman and Alf Neuman are twins.
Delete defense and I’m right there with you!
Call me crazy but I think making literally zero adjustments and not trying very hard and having no gameplan was a bad idea from the Wolves.
I believe in this man. One of these years is going to be his year. Why not this one?
“Minneapolis Public Schools has incurred over $5.3 million in tax penalties from the IRS since 2022... That’s enough to pay about 40 teachers, given current district labor costs.”
The MPS School Board is asleep at the wheel. Elections happening this November, get involved!
Auditors have warned Minneapolis Public Schools since at least 2015 that insufficient internal financial controls could lead to fraud. Last year the district uncovered unusual transactions in a health care trust account enabled by these lax controls. My report…

Alright someone talk me off the ledge about this Lynx offseason. Too quiet to have this many dogs walk out the door.
Beckett’s! Uptown/LynLake. Elite elite sports bar.
Totally - they are out there and I hope the city is recruiting them!
That would be great, but which business? I would imagine this will be used for recruitment (or at least that’s my hope).
Very cool idea that’s near and dear to my heart - take this survey to help bring an indoor playground to downtown Minneapolis: mplsindoorplaygroundsurvey.netlify.app
Last week on the Twin Cities Business Show, I talked to Nate about his career and how he wove his store into the fabric of the music industry. He also dropped an expert lesson in the history of America’s love of the guitar.

Nate Westgor, aka Willie DelMar, opened the store in 1989 with a $15k bank loan. He now has multiple guitars worth tens of thousands of dollars, counts the Rolling Stones as friends, and played a starring role in one of music’s biggest mysteries, finding Jimmy Page’s lost guitar.
On Eustis Street in St. Paul, just across the border from Minneapolis, is a small guitar store called Willie’s American Guitars.
It has become a must-stop for some of the world’s biggest artists. Their client list includes Bruce Springsteen, The Who, Sheryl Crow, and more.
Another important detail is 35% of the arrests were "collateral" rather than targeted. That means these are folks that federal agents swept up at bus stops and sidewalks as they roved the streets. That jibes with anecdotes but doesn't factor for all the "collateral" people caught and released. (3)
Thanks to a FOIA lawsuit from @deportationdata.org, Minnesota is getting its first credible numbers on arrests during the federal government's surge here this winter. About 3,800 Minnesota residents were arrested. Most from Latin America (only 106 from Somalia). (1)
More could be done but the county board has put a bunch of funding into that stuff FWIW. Here’s a good roundup, $200M per year. Last I read county homeless down by 33% compared to 2020, too: www.startribune.com/how-hennepin....
Such a cool story.
So… Taj Bradley is an absolute nastyman. This season is going to be 100% about watching Joe Ryan, Taj, and Mick.
Interview with Mercado Central co-founder Juan Linares! 👇🏻
Crazy crazy finish. They looked like they were too embarrassed to go to OT and just made it happen.
Finally, if you feel so compelled, please donate to their GoFundMe to help bridge the financial gap they are facing while trying to recover: www.gofundme.com/f/help-save-...
Juan shared some really interesting stuff about the 30+ businesses that founded the Mercado, how they serve as an incubator for a huge number of families to build wealth through ownership, the role immigrant-owned business play in our country, and more.
