All deaths suck but this one hits home for me. Wasn't the flashiest player but was always reliable, dependable. One of the greatest players in franchise history and by all accounts, a really good human being. Gone too soon at 65. Godspeed Ryno. #fuckcancer

I'll also say I trust the current regime's decision making a million times more than last year. Vrabel knows what "it" looks like. Is he going to make mistakes? Sure. But my confidence in the decision making is much higher this year.

I tend to throw out EVERYTHING that happened with last years team. Should Polk/Baker make this 2025 team it'll be because they earned it.

Please read and share this statement from Sophie and Colin Hortman, children of Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark.

(via WCCO reporter Caroline Cummings on X)

"We are devastated and heartbroken at the loss of our parents, Melissa and Mark. They were the bright lights at the center of our lives, and we can't believe they are gone. Their love for us was boundless. We miss them so much.
"We want everyone to know that we are both safe and with loved ones. We are grateful for the outpouring of love and support we have received, and we appreciate your respect for our family's privacy as we grieve.
"Our family would like to thank law enforcement for their swift action that saved others and for the coordination across communities that led to the arrest of the man who murdered our parents. We especially would like to thank the officers who were first on the scene to our parents' home and their heroic attempts to rescue our mom and dad.
"Our parents touched so many lives, and they leave behind an incredible legacy of dedication to their community that will live on in us, their friends, their colleagues and co-workers, and every single person who knew and loved them.
"If you would like to honor the memory of Mark and Melissa, please consider the following:
• Plant a tree.
• Visit a local park and make use of their amenities, especially a bike trail.
• Pet a dog. A golden retriever is ideal, but any will do.
• Tell your loved ones a cheesy dad joke and laugh about it.
• Bake something — bread for Mark or a cake for Melissa, and share it with someone.
• Try a new hobby and enjoy learning something.
• Stand up for what you believe in, especially if that thing is justice and peace.
"Hope and resilience are the enemy of fear. Our parents lived their lives with immense dedication to their fellow humans. This tragedy must become a moment for us to come together. Hold your loved ones a little closer. Love your neighbors. Treat each other with kindness and respect. The best way to honor our parents' memory is to do something, whether big or small, to make our community just a little better for someone else."

I seasoned my pizza steel last night and made enough dough for eight thin crust pizzas 🍕 today. The misses asked what I wanted for Father's day weekend and I was simple; "Let me cook what I want". Pizzas today. NY Strips on the grill tomorrow. Have a great weekend all! 🤟🫵💪

How about you retire? The answers are pretty clear Senator Senior Citizen.

Art Johnson @artiejj.bsky.social · Jun 13

Perhaps you should issue a very strongly worded statement. Fuck off and do something (reminder, you're a United States senator).

BREAKING: Scott Pelley just risked everything to make one thing clear:
The attack on free speech isn’t coming—it’s already here.

Journalists are being silenced, critics are being punished, and most of the media’s playing dead.

This is state-sponsored suppression. This is dictatorship in real time.

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.

They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.

France also gave us this land as American soil.

The media needs to have Aaron host a show on one of their alternate channels (think Manning-cast for Monday Night Football) where Trump is aired live every time he speaks so the people see the bat shittery nonstop.
