The employee who was dealing elephant tranquilizers has been fired. If you booked a party at the zoo, make sure to bring your own drugs from home.

Psst: a pint of ice cream fits inside a quart-sized yogurt container. Put a piece of masking tape on the lid and label it "chicken broth" - your family will never find it 🩵

Today in A+ parenting: I let my 12 yo ride in an airplane with a stranger. And my 4 yo rode her bike around the neighborhood by herself looking for me while I was walking the dog (the 12 yo was supposed to be watching her)

@libbyshannon.bsky.social - does your resident map girl have an opinion on this Q? 😉
Spent a month building this so that Star Tribune readers can finally settle the debate: where is Uptown?
The story published a few hours ago and we already have over 700 submissions. Soon we'll compile all the Uptowns to create the definitive map of Minneapolis's most argued-over neighborhood.

What's up with Justice Jackson? She started making her mark and speaking out early, and some of her dissents are so pointed Kagan and Sotomayor don’t even join them. The far right is out for her, and even Republican justices are getting snarky.
