@DeRushaJ The CBS Radio News sounder is forever etched into my soul from riding in my dad’s car in the 70s. youtu.be/FU2mFmnR9JA?si…

So nice of everyone who reached out: WCCO Radio is owned by Audacy, we are not shutting down. CBS Radio's Hourly News Updates will end in a couple months. Not sure what that means- will we find another provider like Fox or ABC Radio? Will we fold national news into our local updates? TBD.

@DeRushaJ At a glance, I thought it said "You've been reorganized" -- as in a feeble corporate attempt to make bad news about staffing seem not so bad. But you have points instead, so that's gotta feel good.

Just when you feel like corporate America doesn’t care about you… BAM

@FrederickMelo I used an alternate route last weekend, assuming the closure was happening then. You promised last week, Fred! How can I ever believe you now?!?! I'm so conflicted :)

I-94 east of downtown St. Paul closes for the coming weekend (this time for real, I can feel it) as horizontal beams are laid for the new Kellogg Boulevard/3rd Street bridge. Feb. 13-15. Take heed… twincities.com/2026/02/10/st-…

@tyokada congrats on a great season and an amazing Super Bowl to cap off 2025-26. You did Woodbury and Montana State proud!

Saw that a Minnesota mayor resigned after an expletive-filled exchange at a city council meeting. My idea: A national Swear Jar - escalating penalties based on elected level: Mayor: $50. Add a zero at every level up the chain to the Senate and White House. Deficit ELIMINATED.

@JimCraigUSA My dad died 6 weeks before that incredible game. As a 15-year-old kid at the time, I didn't realize then that I'd remember your post-game search for your dad for the rest of my life. But I do. Thanks for what you did (and for the incredible goaltending!)

I searched the crowd for my father, knowing his thoughts were with my mother too. I wanted him to know this gold medal belonged to all of us. As we look ahead to the next Olympics, I'm reminded that behind every athlete is a family whose love & sacrifices make the dream possible.

@thauserkstp Thanks for including David Schultz in the story for needed context. This would be better handled at the congressional level where actual policy impacting federal agencies would begin. The city council can set policy requirements for St. Paul authorities.

For some reason, the quality of email marketing that has hit my inbox today is far more abysmal than most monday's. I started a folder "Really sh_tty email outreach" to collect fodder for a blog post on what's gone off the rails with email marketing - coming soon.

Tariq Woolen just dethroned Max Brosmer for worst move of the NFL season.

@AGEllison That’s about as valuable as being enrolled in the Jelly of the Month Club. Seriously. I wouldn’t flex on this.

If you own a Kia or Hyundai and have been struggling with auto thefts, help is finally on the way. Thanks to a settlement my office reached, you’ll be able to get a free hardware upgrade to prevent theft. Here’s everything you need to know ↓↓↓

We've waited since mid-May to see our building's HVAC system get fixed. Way too much battling and legal intervention to get here. But seeing the crane and work being done today, I'm ALMOST ready to believe the building owners that they are fixing a longstanding problem.

Park Square Court sheriff seizure! Notices were posted today from Sheriff Fletcher’s team. Maybe this means something is finally going to happen with this years-vacant, declining gem in Lowertown.

@JeffDLowe I do that all the time. Usually on the second shot on a Par-5 hole, following a terrible tee shot. Then I'm overswinging and dig a big hole with my 5-wood. Has the same outcome. The ball goes nowhere.

Been watching football for roughly 30 years and I don’t think my eyes have ever seen anything quite like this lol.

@RandBall The shutout should be attributed to KOC versus Brosmer. The coach failed him on multiple levels, but the 4th/1 was all KOC. With the season now fully in the tank, I'd like to see 12 start one more time to see how he responds.

So many things about the Vikings catastrophic 4th and 1 on Sunday bothered me, but the biggest might have been running the play while you were hurrying up to the line. Just call a time out. The play wasn't gonna work even without the pressure

@ChrisStaplesTst @Vikings I went a step further than screencap. I want to take the pain with me, so I made it into a watch face😐😐😐

@joethornton @Vikings Screen cap? I missed it haha

At the end of the 3rd

@DawnAtFOX9 Gotta give props to Woodbury’s Ty Okada for the fumble recovery. He’s having a great season

Max to Aaron Jones.. fumble recovered by Seattle

@mcguirereports Woodbury Walgreens on Donegal Drive, by chance? It's ALWAYS a nightmare at that Pharmacy.

Truly no greater joy than being on hold with Walgreens for 45 minutes trying to fill an antibiotic for my daughter 🫶🫶

"The biggest takeaways? We need more lights, color and optimism." -- Last I checked "hope" isn't a strategy. At least the word "reimagine" isn't in the article. It IS disappointing that the delegation only came back with "we need more lights, color, and optimism."

@DawnAtFOX9 Reading your posts on my "for you" feed -- they come in randomly a day later. So it's been fun trying to figure out what was happening at that moment. This one...pretty obvious when it happened! I'm guessing you edited out a word or two that may have actually been uttered.

are you kidding me... of course
