TC Daily Planet: Asks for reader comments on comment policy. ^[1] i.e., We get shitty comments, too. What should we do about it so people don’t hate reading our stuff like they hate reading comments at the Star Tribune and Pioneer Press? (via @mn_newscouncil ^[2])

About Minneapolis/St. Paul: Get your kettlebell ^[3] on. (I have to say I really love About’s practice of self-linking to boost their page views. Love it so much. Not.)

Least Dangerous Game: As cool as everyone thinks the Twitter hide and seek game is, not many people are actually playing. Aric’s going back to the drawing board. ^[4]

mpls/doesbike: Bicycle Film Festival ^[5] will include a scavenger race ^[4]! (via mediation ^[6])

Hennepin County has a limited number of low cost rain barrels for sale ^[7]. They’re going for something like $60. Usual price is more like $200. (via Mpls Issues Forum ^[8])

MPLS Mirror presents a very good case for why their citizen journalism effort is worthy of a donation ^[9]. If you like what they do, help ‘em out.

News Cut: 35W Bridge, yay! Wakota Bridge, boo! ^[10]

Saints Baseball: The other All-Star Game has five local players in it. ^[11]

The Bridge: Resident response to Grand Rounds missing link proposal public hearing. ^[12]
