Sheriff has 'no appetite' to help Minneapolis if it abolishes police department[Sherrif] Stuart added the Anoka County Sheriff’s Office joined Minneapolis “in disgust over the way in which George Floyd lost his life,” but warned that nixing the police department could dampen further relations. “If they choose to eliminate their police department through defunding operations without a realistic plan, they must also choose to live with the consequences of their decisions.

    A study finds that people today who eat and exercise the same amount as people 20 years ago are still fatter. There’s a meme aimed at Millennial catharsis called “Old Economy Steve.” It’s a series of pictures of a late-70s teenager, who presumably is now a middle-aged man, that mocks some of the messages Millennials say they hear from older generations—and shows why they’re deeply janky. Old Economy Steve graduates and gets a job right away. Old Economy Steve “worked his way through college” because tuition was $400. And so forth. We can now add another one to that list:...

Sandstrom said one note was handwritten and two were typed. All of the notes were left on the property at some point. Neither the Rev. Daren Blanck nor the sheriff’s office would elaborate on what...
