Minnesota rated #1 by a bipartisan panel evaluating the quality of life state by state. #justsayin

[Nicholas Kristof @NickKristof]

A major new study published today by a panel of Democrats and Republicans ranks states by quality of life. The states at the top aren't the richest, and they don't have the highest tax rates -- although they do seem to do an unusually good job executing policy and sharing the wealth that they create. Often they have opposition parties strong enough to keep ruling parties nervous and effective.

To see which state ranks No. 1 and how your state ranks (slight tease!), here's a gift link: https://t.co/JfjLMfcGDk

OTD two years ago the Amtrak Borealis began service from St. Paul to Chicago, it has since become one of Amtrak's most successful route launches ever!! Now it's time to Improve the service and expand across the upper Midwest!!!

@donnyferg69 It’s just you.

Getting the 63 men’s D1 hockey coaches to agree that the sky is blue is a difficult task most days. A unanimous vote against this rule should be an indication to the NCAA that they’ve got a massive problem.

@GBeardsley @KylePorterNS It’s likely literally be the single greatest example of selling your soul in the history of sports. To say no one believed that is disingenuous at best.

Breaking News: Meta plans to cut 10% of its work force, roughly 8,000 employees, and close another 6,000 open roles. The cuts come as the company — which owns Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp — spends heavily on developing A.I. https://t.co/Bhqz25W1Cd

Boom-and-bust in the Sunbelt, but we are slow-and-steady with sustainable growth here in the Twin Cities and the Midwest more generally. Credit concerns are now primarily in sunbelt and other “hot” markets (Denver, Portland, Austin, AZ, FL); limited concerns here locally.

Not enough trains too many riders:

"Rail ridership locally is surging. In fiscal year 2025, just under 200,000 travelers got on or off Amtrak trains at St. Paul’s Union Depot. That marked a 58% increase over the previous fiscal year and was the highest ridership in the Twin Cities by far in the past 15 years."

Don't Let Your Lives "Narrow"!!
I've been an orthopedic surgeon for 30 years.
The thing I watch happen to people, more than any injury or surgery, is refer to as the narrowing.
Most of my patients have no idea it's happening to them. They think it's just aging. It's not. 🧵

The real question is given murder rates are literally at their lowest point in 125 years….and this chart plays itself out similarly in most cities…..why are so many people walking around terrified of crime? It doesn’t make sense.

We witnessed one of the most amazing moments you'll ever see at a high school event tonight at Schneider Arena.

Colin Dorgan, who lost his mother, brother & grandfather in the Lynch Arena shooting last month, scores a 2OT game-winner to send his team to the @RIIL_sports D-II championship game.

Incredible resilience from this young man & this BVS team.

Fortunate to call this emotional moment with Marty Crowley tonight on the NFHS Network.

I liked the world better when the news came on for 30 minutes and then we did other shit for 23 1/2 hours. Now it follows you around all day like a hobo begging for change.
