As the old saying goes… “This is the time of year when the North hates the metro. The Metro hates the private schools. And everyone hates Edina.”

@TenuredRadical @KristiNoem Only won initial election to sd gov by skin of her teeth

Can we stipulate that @KristiNoem is an idiot?

@Cory_Haala @IllinoisPress Wait. Does that page of the catalog say page one???

Every day, a little more real. Awesome to see "When Democrats Won the Heartland: Progressive Populism in the Age of Reagan" in the @IllinoisPress catalog. And grateful, as ever, to @cmsto for the glowing review. Link in the replies, if you'd like to order.

Just a fascinating interview with ⁦@Johnubacon⁩ about his new book, The Gales of November. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…

“It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone. You count on it, rely on it to buffer the passage of time, to keep the memory of sunshine and high skies alive, and then just when the days are all twilight, when you need it most, it stops. Today, November 2, a Sunday of rain and broken branches and leaf-clogged drains and slick streets, it stopped, and summer was gone.” - A. Bartlett Giamatti (with a small change from October to November)

34 years ago today this brilliant double play kept the #MNTwins hopes alive in Game 7…

Excited to announce the formal release of our second collection of essays on politics in the postwar Midwest. It was a dream of mine to put essays in conversation with each other across two volumes. Thx to my co editor @jlauck1941, our amazing contributors, and @kansas_press!

Who’s excited for Twins opening day tomorrow in Minnesota?! ❄️ ⚾️

What a great surprise! Excited that our companion volume to The Conservative Heartland has arrived. Even better on a night when WI voters are waiting in long lines to decide their political future. Thx to our fabulous contributors and ⁦@Kansas_Press⁩. ⁦@MwHWG⁩

Lucky to have known ⁦@ZohranKMamdani⁩ way back when. instagram.com/p/DHjj26GuNZE/…

A HUGE congratulations to Reuben Burk, Andrew Storton and Lee Elliott on being named United Soccer Coaches Division III Coaching Staff of the Year! #GoCamels

@KFILE @MollyJongFast Also if sunrise is 7:05 in nyc how is 6;45 “broad daylight?”

If this was truly a targeted assassination and not a random act of violence, I don’t get it how you can blame it on the situation in New York City

@CamelAthletics Wonderful game!

VEGAS HERE WE COME! Elliot Spatz scores twice in the first half, and men's soccer holds on to defeat Denison 2-1 to advance to the second Final Four in program history! #OneCamel

All-time lede from @moetkacik prospect.org/politics/2024-…

@maskaggs @MiddleWestRev Oh terrific! Lots to tell that’s for sure!

Very pleased this morning to learn my proposal for the Spring 2026 @MiddleWestRev issue on the Cold War has been accepted. Looking forward to writing at length on the history of "Broken Arrow" incidents in the Midwest!

“Pro-life” would be 20 Sandy Hook students voting for the first time this election.
