She made quite a splash in Unrivaled after “graduating” from the development squad. Really fun to watch!

Thank you!

Was this on local news somewhere? Is there a link?

Every social theory undergirding Trumpism has been broken on the steel of Minnesotan resolve. The multiracial community in Minneapolis was supposed to shatter. It did not. It held until Bovino was forced out of the Twin Cities with his long coat between his legs. The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesive—because of its diversity and not in spite of it. Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority. Minnesotans have preserved everything worthwhile about “Western civilization,” while armed brutes try to tear it down by force.

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Ah, OK! I just didn’t want you to miss it. 🙂

Not tonight, in three minutes!

Same!

This Breeze-Owls game is taking forever. #unrivaled

Good for her! (but sorry that it represents bad news—illness or injury—for someone else)

NGL, I love that commercial with the little girl who does her ice skating routine in the attic for her stuffed animals. #unrivaled

Enjoy! I’m envious. 🙂📚

Then instead of tapping the letter, linger on it, and options will pop up

I’m sure it depends on the device, but on iPhone, try settings-keyboard-add keyboard.

I learned a new word: hügel

Thanks! I’m glad you like them.

Yes, so creative and funny! Everyone standing near me loved them.

Yep, perfect. Such a great community event.

The thing that brought me joy yesterday was attending the same Lantern Festival!

CHELSEA. GRAY. #unrivaled

My Unrivaled team allegiances are weak and changeable. 🙂 I tend to enjoy the league as a whole and focus on favorite players, who, of course, end up being on different teams. That said, I’m liking Breeze and Rose a lot. How about you?

Also, for the first time ever, Hive is behind at the end of the first quarter.

Inauspicious beginning, but it turned out OK. #wordle

Well, I like your journalism. Good to know what’s going on with local education.
