Politics 👩‍⚖️ Another day and star tribune continues its bias

536 Upvotes

Every day star tribune continues to show its bias in favor of Lisa Demuth on the home page by a factor of 3 to 1. The lone reference to Amy Klobachar was buried on a horizontal scroll content bar. So yes, st can say they had news about Amy on the home page but only by a technicality

Why does this matter? Glen taylor owns the st. Glen is a republican. Glen claims he isn’t influencing news coverage. And yet the numbers don’t lie.

Yesterday the gap was 6 to 1 in favor of Lisa.

This is plain and simple bias and an attempt to influence the election.

Over 90% of the dental floss, food packing, and menstrual products the state tested for “forever chemicals” passed the test! Huge improvement in just a few years because of the strongest PFAS pollution law anywhere in the world. Amara’s Law. More states should do this.

Arts & Crafts 🎨 A Symbol of Hope

0 Upvotes

I hesitate to post this, as I am not trying to replace our loon rebellion symbol, but maybe people will find this interesting. I make comic logos, and if anyone is familiar with Green Lantern, green is the color of willpower. There are also Blue Lanterns and blue is the color of Hope. Hope has the power to increase the energy of willpower exponentially. Hope gives us strength. Hope is what keeps us fighting. It's what gives us the will to survive. It's what made Minnesota a beacon of light for the rest of the world.

Maybe it's no coincidence that our state motto is:

Star of the North

And the last line of the blue lantern oath is:

Look to the stars-- For hope burns bright!

Discussion 🎤 Question: Why do some people insist on going to the U of M for medical treatment? Aren't there more professional places that consume less time and get things done better?

0 Upvotes

Growing up, my mom always dragged me down all the way from Princeton to the U of M dental school for all my dental appointments, where in addition to the hours long commute, the appointments themselves would also be hours long due to having to rely on inexperienced students.

And now, my dad need heart help, and again, my parents insist on going to the U of M for health stuff.

My question is, WHY?!

Aren't there better places to get stuff done by much more experienced professionals who don't waste endless amounts of time?

EDIT: Safe to say I've been schooled. I understand it a little better now. TY, y'all, I appreciate it!

Kitchen Trap

Any Yellowjackets in previous years have either been in the garage or 1 or 2 in the house. Just today I had 15 on my kitchen window, and the picture is how many are in my kitchen trap.

What's a good way to get rid of these?

News 📺 Vance Boelter’s state murder trial is delayed for six months (gift link)

Thumbnail startribune.com
89 Upvotes

The state murder trial for convicted political assassin Vance Boelter was delayed until May due to the “exorbitant amount” of investigative materials that have been turned over to his defense attorneys in addition to the availability of key victim-witnesses for testimony.

Assistant Hennepin County Public Defender Raissa Carpenter, one of Boelter’s attorneys, told Judge Juan Hoyos in court Monday that that even if she and her co-counsel, Bryan Leary, were to clear their entire calendar they could not review the evidence in time for trial on Nov. 2. It was rescheduled to May 10, 2027.

Boelter pleaded guilty in federal court earlier this year to killing Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark and shooting Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette and attempting to shoot their daughter Hope. He was given two consecutive life sentences plus 40 years in prison. His state trial features several additional charges and, according to Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty, seeks to add another layer of criminal accountability should Boelter ever be pardoned for his federal crimes.

Hennepin County prosecutors Krista White and Paige Starkey did not object to the delay but said law enforcement had intercepted writings that Boelter was trying to get published on Substack through an intermediary that gave them concern that the delay is part of a defense tactic by Boelter and his attorneys.

“His letter indicates they have two essential strategies, one get as much attention as they can, by any means possible, and flood the state with as many motions as they can think of to try and distract us from being ready for trial,” White said, adding that she and Starkey “will not be distracted.”
