For the first of two nights at the Ordway Concert Hall (one of the best-sounding rooms in town!), Mavis Staples delivered old and new songs that spoke to the times and sounded as powerful as ever.

Opening more big fall books, including the latest from the writers of "Lessons in Chemistry" and "Ask Again, Yes."

A good day to remember what grace is all about.

Liza Minnelli has outlived the marriage of Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo.

If you've seen "Miriam and Alan" on @tpt , you will not be surprised to hear that Alan Cumming is sweet, tender and candid. It was delightful chatting with the "Traitors" star before he comes to Minneapolis to talk about "Sweet Land" @walkerartcenter

Two opinionated @prince superfans, @iamslickrick01 & @donnyenglish, dish about the good & bad of Prince Celebration 2026. They mostly diss official activities & the estate but were thrilled with unofficial things, esp in N. Mpls. @StarTribune report. https://t.co/KPGUh87Epn

[Jon Bream @jonbream]

Marathon @Prince tribute show @ArmoryMn was like buffet w no satisfying entrée. Band was terrific, setlist had range & deep cuts but no one commands stage like Prince (which we know). @TheMorrisDay @jameciabennett & Miguel rose to occasion. Review& videos https://t.co/LzsMKxjvAz

[Amy Klobuchar @amyklobuchar]

Trump Calling Welker “crooked” “stupid” and then the ultimate—“darling”—for asking him what evidence he has that elections are rigged? What is “crooked” is the money for the ballroom, what is “stupid” are the tariffs. And what is “darling” is a first class journalist.

[Marco Foster @MarcoFoster_]

Jennifer Welch: “Boycott every fucking thing on CBS News. From the morning all the way through to the evening. These are the same people that fired Stephen Colbert because Trump got his feelings hurt by a comedian. These people are the biggest bunch of pussies that masquerade with these grandstanding letters like they’re such badasses. These people don’t care about the truth, they don’t care about journalism, they don’t care about the Constitution, they don’t care about a free press. It’s just absolutely devastating what these oligarchs have done to our country”

[Jon Bream @jonbream]

I Feel for You by @ChakaKhan @FirstAvenue as kickoff to @prince Celebration 2026
