Stay safe if protesting today. I’m told a paddy wagon was seen heading South on 35W toward the city about 10 minutes ago with its lights on.

Our writer experienced ‘chicken jockey’ chaos at a Minneapolis showing of ‘A Minecraft Movie’ Teens are going nuts as part of a movie viewing craze that has erupted at theaters across the country.

All-star @startribune.com intern @spencer-white.bsky.social made the connection that going to the Minecraft movie is like seeing a midnight matinee of Rocky Horror Picture Show or The Room but with kids and now I can't unsee it

Obligatory "I wrote this funny thing for @racketmn.com and you should read it" post
