Hooray for the engineers, the tech folks, the whole staff at @kare11 for broadcasting from the field! A fire at the station means live, local shows in their studio aren’t possible “for the foreseeable future.” They are at the Shoreview tele-farm instead!
We were here and ready to go for the 5pm newscast on @kare11 but alas… it’s not to be. Hope to see you at 10. 🤞🏻 We will keep you updated.

As you would have guessed from @FrederickMelo’s ongoing chronicles, Cub Midway St. Paul is closing.

Most of us aren’t paid as a percentage of profit, but I’m not arguing if they deserve it or not - I think it’s weird that randos don’t want people to make more money. Someone wants a raise? Cool! Go get it! It’s not my money.
Anybody doing the viral coffee bucket around Minneapolis / St. Paul?
