MSBPJ's @CAndersonMN continues the Business Journal's decade-long trend of scooping the @StarTribune on news about the Strib's own building. (Dating back to 2013, when Sam Black broke the news the paper was planning to move there.) https://t.co/7nSUE9OH4F via @mspbjnews

This is not the first time that Glen Taylor has called off a prospective sale of the @Timberwolves. In 2013 he considered selling but told @MSPBJnews at the time, “The more I thought about it, the more I decided I really didn’t want to leave basketball." https://t.co/SyNZK1txbf

Glen Taylor, the majority owner of the Minnesota Timberwolves and Lynx, said Thursday that the deadline for the planned sale of the organization to Alex Rodriguez and Marc Lore has expired, adding, "The Timberwolves and Lynx are no longer for sale." https://t.co/HIgn0Kmbxk

Target says about 35% of its downtown Minneapolis workforce is returning to its HQ on a weekly basis. With a total DT workforce of 7000+, that *could* be a lot, but it's a much smaller in-office percentage than downtown employers as a whole, via @mspbjnews https://t.co/dOr3hQohNt

[Mark Reilly @mspbjReilly]

@pmeenan1 @grove The story certainly could have been written before now, but two years ago there wouldn't have been much daylight between Target's policies and the other big downtown employers. CEO preferences *do* come up in the piece, though not specifically linked to taxes

From a building owner: "Where's Target? They're happy to have their names on our sports stadiums, but I feel like they don't have our city’s back right now."

[Minneapolis/St.Paul Business Journal @MSPBJnews]

Target Corp. is the biggest employer in downtown Minneapolis — on paper. But the retailer still hasn't called its workers back to the office, and some local businesses that rely on foot traffic are fed up with waiting. https://t.co/UcHXIqINNB

Seeing a current refrain that all anyone is asking for is circa 2021 Twitter. Definitely include me in that list of askers. But there’s a point we shld note. One of the big reasons Twitter was so awesome is that it wasn’t well monetized. The two things are pretty inextricably …
