MNA Union member, and we in Duluth are in a negotiation time with our employer. We don’t want to go on strike like our cohorts in the Cities are doing (Allina staff nurses), but we will if we have to. It is interesting the lengths they will go to in the short run to see the long view. We’ve heard from other nurses in… Read more
My grandfather had a non-union position at Ford spanning roughly the early ‘60s to the early ‘90s. He has retired in financial comfort, never had student debt, owns three houses and always has two relatively new Ford products in the driveway. Read more
I used to be anti-union. Read more

“Cook it until it’s thick enough to hold a G.I. Joe figurine posed to look like he was sinking in “quicksand,” which in this case is in fact oatmeal.” Read more
Can you imagine? Tom “gay boy whiny pussy” Ley and Hamilton “World’s biggest cocksmoker” Nolan consulting each other what strong is. Unreal

Amen, can't help but think every one of those bombs Hop took in the 12th was a year off his life. At 49 the damage has to be exponentially worse. Read more
Moral victories in boxing can get you killed. Just saying. Read more
Kovalev landing those bombs on B Hops dome in the 12th reminded me of Tim Bradley vs Provodnikov. Not sure there's a man in the sport who can knock those motherfuckers out at their weights. Read more

I completely agree. I also agree with myself that these studies are like eating shit to determine if it tastes good. I mean, ya never know. Sure it always smells horrible, (well, except for Anthony Hopkins' shit in "Road to Wellville") but we can't know for sure until the experts perform a study and eat a bunch of… Read more
Imagine the credit Crossfit would get if it said, fairly and clearly, "Look, Crossfit is a great way to burn fat and increase your fitness. It might not be right for you, but if you're interested in it, we welcome you into any establishment we have. We love doing Olympic lifts, but they are inherently dangerous, as… Read more
I agree. If you can do the movements thoughtfully with someone eyeing you to assist, you'll be fine. The crossfit way is faster and with a one pair of eyes on a class of up to 20 or so. And the fitter you are, the more attention you'll get, leaving the people who need the most help to be more apt to injure… Read more
Boxing, and combat sports in general, lend themselves to narrative writing because they are individual sports. Where sports writers try to frame the "stick and ball" sports this way, talking about "drive" and "will to win" and whatever other easy narrative tropes, victories in those sports tend to be more about… Read more
I enjoyed this article. Read more
Well fucking said. I got out of a multi-year relationship last fall. I bought a set of adjustable dumbbells and a bench, and I got to working out. No fancy bullshit, no machines, no classes: just the internet for a bit of guidance, some motivation, and a whole lot of fucking sweat. A few short months later and… Read more

It's also really helpful to see how you sleep. If you find that you are restless you can make… Read more
