One of the problems with the Nuremberg movie is the title. They should have kept the title of the book it’s based on, because the story really is about the very flawed doctor’s experience. The film would have done better to lean in to his weirdness. It reminded a lot of Quisling.

I can’t see Rami Malek act now without seeing Freddie Mercury in the part.

Always amazing how much every accusation is a confession but “waste, fraud, and abuse” takes it to parody levels.

I visited the Alex Pretti memorial with my friend who is in town. Some random dude asked me if I knew who the city council person was because he wanted to submit a complaint about the traffic situation. I told him to Google it. He responded that he was having issues with his phone.

It was heavy. I found it pretty unsettling. Several artists actually belonged to the Nazi party before later being labeled degenerate. Some of it was quite powerful -- especially works made just after the war. The more ambivalent examples were the most challenging for me.

Minnesota State’s new software system costs $50 million more than initially approved The new software system is key for everything from faculty payroll to how students sign up for classes.

There's no way that this system couldn't have written its own software using local talent for less than the $300 MILLION already paid and unpaid MILLIONS every year just to use it! Complete boondoggle

This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.

Urgent care is such a racket. Here because I have some weird thing with my ear and it’s a $100 copay, four times what it would be to see my regular doctor who doesn’t have an appointment for another 10 days.

A stage full of symphony musicians, with the maestro shaking a solo violinist’s hand

A stage full of symphony musicians, with the maestro shaking a solo violinist’s hand

Going to the symphony in Austin is always an experience.

Last night, for example, an enthusiastic audience member gave a resounding “YEEHAW!” after one of the more intense movements in Strauss’s Also Sprach Zarathustra.

I am not joking! 🗣️🤠😂

Peggy Noonan on Pete Hegseth: “Stop talking like that! Don’t feed the stereotypes, don’t tempt the gods” referring to the way he brags about U.S.’ “lethality,” and makes statements like “we’re playing for keeps,” and “we’re punching them while they’re down.”

We’re going to lose HCMC and City core services while cops hand the City Council a crinkled note saying the dog ate their homework when asked to justify the insane overtime expenditures.

The data points coming out of MPD include a lot of talk about recruiting classes and overtime, but they seem to be hiding the ball when it comes to how many active patrol officers they have at the moment. Appears as if the overtime is as much due to attrition as it is to ICE.

At the Guthrie and the Children’s Theatre, ‘play’ is onstage - MinnPost From building forts to solving mysteries, audiences can expect playful delight as part of the theatrical experience.

The word “play,” at its heart, taps into something elemental about human existence. It encompasses our curiosity, joy, and imagination.

A week ago, the ACLU got DHS officials to admit on record that there would be an additional 407 agents throughout March on top of the 150 CBP agents we would normally have here.

The idea that we are down to pre-surge levels is a lie that needs to be corrected for the country. We are still occupied.
