@NortonMpls Platt has not gotten over the trauma from when Figlio's in Uptown closed.

The Star Tribune just ran an over the top opinion piece on the Lowry closing because Minneapolis is a “dour, unappreciative city where few things are as despised as capitalism…”
But it turns out The Lowry closed because someone else was willing to pay more to lease that space.

Komrad: 4.3% FC@Komrad_Iron
And there it is, the Lowry is closing because they lost their lease to another restaurant, not because of the neighborhood, crime, or the city council.

Let me make something clear to the "Dana Bashes" out there, saying that Democrats need to turn down the temperature:
FUCK YOU. The example gets set at the top. So, when he tweets that he's glad that Robert Mueller died,
When he calls Democrats a threat to democracy...
When he accuses Democrats of cheating without evidence...
Who exactly is calling on HIM to turn down the temperature? Last time I checked, the people with a large platform that he listens to is THE MEDIA.
So, do YOUR job, Dana.
Hold power accountable. After all, we're not the ones threatening to wipe out an entire civilization.

SCOOP: I got internal photos/videos of McClatchy's Claude-powered "content scaling agent" tool roiling its newsrooms. It's an AI product executives made because "we need more stories and we need more inventory," and journalists "defiant" about using it "will fall behind." 1/6

Experts are saying it: SUVs damage our roads more than ordinary passenger cars.
I’ve asked @TfL to look into the effect of supersized SUVs in London as more of these vehicles take up space on London’s roads.
