The Minnesota accent is tricky to get right! It's usually too much or too little. @laurayuen.bsky.social spoke to "Aunt Tracy" who coached Emma Thompson for a new film, and also took a look at other Hollywood stars who have tried to nail the accent.

I have the honor of interviewing Alan Page at the State Fair. He's a Minnesota treasure and a Renaissance man. There's no one quite like him. What questions would you ask Justice Page if you had the chance? Or ask him yourself by joining us at the @startribune.com booth at 12p Saturday!

Yuen: You’re not imagining it. Kids in Minnesota spend less time in school than in almost every other state.
Fewer school days require working parents to scrape by to find childcare.

Stories like this beautifully written one by @laurayuen.bsky.social should forever eclipse Garrison Keillor’s cartoons of the state (not to mention the nightmarish “fall of Mpls” vision sold to MAGA—the entire enterprise was started in the Phillips neighborhood) 🎁

This outstanding piece on Wild Urban Turkeys by @maggiek.bsky.social reminds us that we are architects of nature, but never the nature of our own choosing. #NovelEcologies
We made life hard for wild turkeys. We worked hard to reintroduce wild turkeys and help them get reestablished in the state. We get annoyed by the chaos they now cause in cities. We embrace them as symbols of anarchy.
They don’t think about us at all.
