Brutus is Dan's beloved childhood teddy bear. It makes appearances throughout the series, most notably in "Summer Camp", where it's revealed that Dan has had the bear since he was a kid.
It is named after Marcus Junius Brutus, a politician of the late Roman Republic.
- It is likely named Brutus due to Dan's love of Shakespeare, which is mentioned throughout the series. Shakespeare depicted the real life Brutus in his play, " Julius Caesar".

CHICAGO (WLS) — Illinois state Senator Emil Jones III is set to be arraigned Friday on bribery charges.
Governor JB Pritzker called on Jones III to resign from office Thursday.
Jones is accused of taking $5,000 from a red light camera company in exchange for voting against legislation that would require traffic studies for the camera systems.
Jones was also charged with bribery and lying to the FBI.
The Far South Side state senator has given up his Senate leadership posts, but still remains on the November ballot and is running unopposed.
Gov. Pritzker demanded he resign immediately, saying it would send a clear message to Illinois residents that, “corruption and abuse have no place here.”
His statement further states, “Integrity is essential to public service, and corruption for personal gain and abuse in private or public is unacceptable. Illinoisans deserve to have elected leaders who are focused on representing them – not on holding office when facing serious and credible charges.”
The arraignment hearing is scheduled at noon.

What Is A Conservative Novel?
What Is a Conservative Novel?
(Delivered at ComCon2 in Mesa, Arizona, April 25, 2023)
Our text for today is the headline from a recent Federalist article: “If You Don’t Buy Conservative Art, Ruthless Leftists Will Ensure Nobody Can.”
The author complains that leftists have succeeded in driving out of business the heretic artists who support the Canadian truckers or freedom of speech or Donald Trump. He asks, “[W]hat is to be done? Are we to lie down and accept a fate of utter decimation in a world of inane, woke art?”
No, we aren’t. But the headline stumped me. It’s the reference to “conservative” art. You see, I don’t know what that is.
The headline writer seems to assume that any art made by an artist with conservative politics qualifies as conservative art. But how does he know that?
And how does he know the art he’s defending is any good?
In the old Soviet Union, the Communist leaders knew which art was good. By “good,” they meant paintings or movies or novels which made communists like themselves look good.
Early on, the dictator Stalin mandated what he called Proletarian Art, whatever that was, which he replaced with Socialist Realism. Socialist realism exploited the techniques of realism and its capacity to misrepresent reality in order to sell the official Communist version of life, the universe and everything.
Stalin also labeled as good art a few pre-revolutionary Russian authors and composers like Tolstoy and Chekhov and Tchaikovsky. He touted his favored new communist hacks not as their replacements but as their successors.
Mao outdid Stalin. In his Cultural Revolution, Mao aimed to destroy all which came before. He focused on what he called the "four olds": old ideas, old customs, old habits and old culture. His followers spearheaded the interrogation, humiliation and beatings of teachers and intellectuals, and swarmed the country destroying China’s cultural heritage.
Nowadays, the standard bearers of our own American Fascist Left go two better than Stalin and one better than Mao. They condemn and cancel past artists even if they only happened to live in societies guilty of colonialism or patriarchy or whatever else they object to.
To them, everything from the past must be eradicated.
What’s going on?
Well, whatever it is, it’s been going on for a long time.
Even seventy years ago, back in the nineteen fifties, the American writer Robert Warshaw slammed what he called “The Legacy of the Thirties,” the era of the Communist-led Popular Front, in which the Communist Party controlled most American intellectual discourse. Warshaw called the nineteen thirties,
“an era of organized mass disingenuousness, when every act and every idea had behind it some ‘larger consideration’ which destroyed its honesty and its meaning. Everybody became a professional politician, acting within a framework that tended to make political activity an end in itself.”
From the 1930’s through Warshaw’s 1950’s and beyond, the “larger consideration” was the wellbeing of the thugs who operated the racket known as the Soviet Union.
“Larger considerations” live on today, only under new names.
Nowadays, anyone who creates a painting or novel or movie will have to contend with harassers who impose their contemporary larger considerations like antiracism, sexism, cultural appropriation, homophobia and transphobia, coinages which didn’t exist until ten minutes ago, and, when halfway examined, make no sense.
Fiction writers who want to get their stories published at the few big houses—where the money is—must deal with a plague of sensitivity readers and editors whose job it is to ambush them, in part because those parasites lack useful skills from which to make a living.
Because Hollywood screenwriters know ahead of time that any movie which might offend Chinese Communist censors will never get made, they no longer bother to write the forbidden scripts in the first place. They edit themselves in advance to save the communist censors the trouble.
Self-censorship is the most destructive censorship there is.
I saw a new word a few weeks ago: “culturati.” It seems to mean people like museum curators and college administrators. It’s their duty to protect the vast and irreplaceable artistic heritage of the West, but many now engage in a self-destructive crusade to destroy it.
Like the stock market, what drives these phenomena are greed and fear.
The greed is for power, or maybe for status, or for money and sex, or for the sex that money and status bring. Or for all of the above.
It doesn’t take all that much to buy one of these people. As Susan has remarked to me many times, what’s surprising is not that people sell out, but that they sell out for so little.
The fear which goes along with the greed also makes sense, once you know what’s out there. It’s justifiable fear of the of the censorious ideologues, who in this historical moment happen to come from our Fascist Left.
These zealots crouch downwind in their hunting blinds and sniff out anyone who manifests creative freedom. If they smell a heretic, they hunt him down and shoot him and hang his carcass across the hood as a trophy. (Of course, this process is only metaphorical—for now.)
Like others here, I have had personal experience with the phenomena I’m talking about.
I used to write for the theater. I had four plays produced. My minor success gave me the connections to get more produced. I wrote a play which featured a young woman raised as the daughter of a famous leftist lawyer. Among other things which happen, she comes to realize that few of the leftist pieties she was raised to believe are true.
Of course, my play was rejected, and with a hysteria which bordered on TDS.
In conversation with a young theater friend who had already read and liked my play, I commented that I could have written a very similar story about a young Christian who comes to question the beliefs of the Christian world in which she was raised, and it would have been just as good.
He answered, “And then it would be produced.”
Of course, I have no interest in writing a play like that, but what he said is true. The secular left has generated an entire industry of mediocre movies about Orthodox Jewish women who rebel against their supposedly suffocating upbringing in order to seek freedom, usually by having liberating sex with a forbidden person, maybe an Arab or a black man or a Puerto Rican lesbian.
Boring. Not to mention contrary to all human experience. Does anyone out there still believe that sex with the wrong person will make a person happier?
So what’s the positive alternative? Surely not to replace tendentious leftwing art with tendentious rightwing art, with novels and movies, paintings and songs which exist merely to promote what the Federalist headline called “conservative” art, by which its author seems to have meant conservative politics.
How can we define good fiction, for example? From here on, I’ll be talking about fiction, because these days I’m writing mostly novels, and like most people, I like to talk about me.
Maybe I should settle for copying the Rambam, Moshe ben Maimon, known to Christians as Maimonides. According to our great twelfth century rabbi and philosopher, one cannot describe God in positive terms, but only negative. God’s unity is beyond our conception or expression. We cannot say what God is, but only what God is not. For example, we can say that God is not corporeal, does not occupy space, is not finite in time or space, and so on.
Can I define a conservative novel by what it is not?
Among other nots, a conservative novel will:
- Not be subordinated to post-modernism or even modernism or any other ism or any political or social or economic theory;
- Not offend basic narrative logic;
- Not brutalize grammar, syntax and diction;
- Not contain any extraneous appeal to some fad or faction. Recently we saw the Grammy for best song go to an amazingly mediocre song—even by Grammy standards—because its singers claim to be “nonbinary” and presented the song in as pornographic a way as they could get away with.
That’s just a starting list of nots. They are all valid, and there are hundreds more. But knowing what to avoid doesn’t help me as a writer all that much, does it?
Can I do better than the Rambam and come up with a positive definition of a conservative novel?
In 1885, Henry James wrote an essay called “The Art of Fiction.” James was responding to a now-forgotten writer named Besant who set out specific rules for writing novels.
Besant wrote that “the laws of fiction may be laid down and taught with as much precision and exactness as the laws of harmony, perspective and proportion.”
I very recently published a novelette called “Naima’s Fire.” It tells the story of a woman who’s trying to get her novel published. Her agent insists she follow the five “Marvel Rules,” which control how comic books and superhero movies depict women. For example, a woman can never lose a fight to a man, a woman can never seek help from man, and a woman can never lose an argument to a man.
Just in the two weeks since I published “Naima’s Fire,” at least five readers have asked me whether those Marvel rules are for real.
Yes, they are.
Henry James disagreed with Besant about rules for writing fiction. He wrote, “The only reason for the existence of a novel is that it competes with life.”
What did he mean by that? I suppose something like, “I could be out there experiencing life, but instead, I’m reading this book or watching this movie or listening to this music.”
James added that the only obligation of a novel is to be interesting.
James explained, “The ways in which it is at liberty to accomplish this result strike me as innumerable and such as can only suffer from being marked out or fenced in by prescription.”
Instead of Besant’s or any external rules, James insisted upon what he called “freedom to feel and say.”
James identified as a positive example the children’s novel Treasure Island, which he called “delightful.”
James’ praise gave the author of Treasure Island, Robert Louis Stevenson, the excuse to write his own essay, which he called “A Humble Remonstrance.”
Stevenson denied that any art can successfully compete with life.
“Life is monstrous, infinite, illogical, abrupt and poignant. A work of art is neat, finite, self-contained, rational, flowing and emasculate.”
According to Stevenson, the novel exists not as a competitor to life but by its immeasurable difference from life. The novel is “not a transcript of life, to be judged by its exactitude; but a simplification of some side or point of life, to stand or fall by its significant simplicity.”
The writer most often accused of success in representing life in words is William Shakespeare. Shakespeare didn’t confine himself to the rules which governed drama before him. He filled his plays with credible characters doing and saying amazing things. In his own phrase, he was “holding a mirror up to nature.”
The extent to which Shakespeare succeeded in competing with life is demonstrated by the fact that the world’s founding psychiatrist, Sigmund Freud, wrote a paper in which he psychoanalyzed Shakespeare’s famous character Hamlet. Freud ignored the obvious fact that Hamlet was not a living human being but imaginary, progeny not of God’s imagination but of Shakespeare’s.
Now, returning to my original question, is there something we can call a “conservative” novel?
If we mean by that, a novel in which the hero extolls the wonderfulness of balanced budgets, reduced taxation, and a strong military, I’m sure the answer is no. It will be just as tendentious as the leftist movies we hate and fashionable novels we never bother to read.
But if we mean a novel which is interesting, maybe in part because it avoids the “nots” I listed and their consequent defects, but instead brings the reader an immediate experience of life, maybe the answer is yes, even if it happens to be written by a political liberal.
The America we knew and grew up in is not the historic norm. It’s a little window of light in a long and dark history. It is the two-hundred-year-old exception to thousands of years of exploitation, victimization, and suppression.
Those who seek to control our art do nothing new. Although they may have invented new terminology, they are running the same tired act all previous generations of oppressors ran, not just back in the 1950’s or 1930’s, but all the way back to the beginnings of civilization.
They reserve for themselves the power to decide what stories to tell, and how. Our role is to assent to and to comply with their version of reality and otherwise to shut up.
The only sense in which writing a good novel or creating any good art might qualify as “conservative” is that it conserves our freedom of expression. It is an exercise of the freedom to feel and say Henry James wrote about.
Through mighty exertions, previous generations have handed us this freedom to feel and say.
If we exercise it, we thereby vindicate it and keep it alive for future generations.
Put another way, use it or lose it. Let’s keep using it.

Thank you. You allowed me to see the future and the past in the same gaze and have given me a guiding light that I would never have seen otherwise. Your writings on the Civil Rights Movement have not only fueled my passion for history but granted me something that I would never have envisioned: An avenue to fight for the basic liberties that every person should possess.
I have no words to truly convey the impact that your book had on my vision of social change. But, I attempt to speak to it because I wish to, in any minimal sense, express that I would not be as passionate or as understanding as I am now without it. It is the distinct realization that my world would be entirely different without your influence that truly implored me to write this letter. Across that Bridge has not only become an idolized piece of literature for me; it persists to be a constant reassurance that there will forever be hope where there is empathy. When I read it, I am reminded that it is hope that has persevered throughout the various processes of America, and as an extension, the world.
I have been trying to put these words on paper for a while and wrote the last few parts almost a year ago. However, I could not find the precise words to finish this letter, knowing that there is so much I still do not know and will never know. Now, I feel like some of the words have come back to me, sprung by the fearless actions of all of those around me, fighting for the freedom that is still not granted to them. I know that there is a change willing itself into the roots of America right now, just as it has done countless times in the past. This time, however, I refuse to read about it in my history books. I absolutely refuse to not be a meaningful ally in the fight for change.
Due to your book, Across That Bridge, which addresses the state of our nation right now, my consciousness of the definition of America, both in the past and the present, is wholly altered. I have developed a more personal grasp over my identity and values, but more importantly, I can now comprehend and express what I truly wish for the future of America. This future, the one that millions of civilians aspire to observe, is one of diversity. The truth of the various movements of the past will endure, unveiled by the most resolute of people, but it is up to the entire nation to recognize those principles. In a time where even the suggestion of thorough inclusion may be looked down upon by the nation’s administration, the path of the glory of the people seems arduous. Yet, this formidable force can only be met with the exceptional power of love that millions of Americans currently possess. The fortitude of those that seek to hate will never overcome those that seek to love.
Recognizing what is wrong is easy, once we all start to see human beings as equal to one another. But, discovering a solution: That is an arduous process. It’s imperative that we recognize that the world will not change in an instant, but that we must influence diversity. These stringent codes of oppression will remain until America, as a society, chooses to be an expounder for those that are discriminated against.
The right side of history will radiate through generations of human beings, forever gleaming when given the chance. There will be people that oppose it with every fiber of their being but it will remain formidable, anticipating the arrival of those who previously rejected its proposals.
We can no longer afford to rely on this myth that the youth will save our generation. The pull of inevitable justice is too small to truly influence the immediate change we want today. The elderly and the young must contribute to form a more perfect union, one in which every man and woman is equal. Freedom is a constant struggle and cannot be won unless every generation puts in an equal amount of work for the greater purpose which summons us all. I have not come to this conclusion on my own, but rather, through your principles, history, and battle for the future.
You have inspired even the fiercest of opposition to come to terms with their own conscience, proving that the right side of history is always recognizable. The moral duty that is placed upon all of us to answer this call to history now could not have been possible without you and your enduring commitment to the right side of history. As we now happen upon one of the most momentous times of our nation, I am compelled to say that without you, it would not be possible to be here. Without the empathy and drive for a better future that you inspired in millions, our nation would be drastically different.
I am sorry our nation is so embroiled in the same hatred you saw more than 60 years ago at the time of your passing. I’m so sorry we haven’t come further. Yet, there is a glimmer of hope that resounds throughout the nation now, and I am so sorry you will not get to see it fulfilled. You have changed the lives of millions, including mine. Thank you for your words, your actions, and your empathy. Thank you is not enough for the inspiration that you were to millions across the world. May the world remember your moral authority, your eminence in the making of history, and most of all, your compassionate and commanding way of life. You have changed the world and it is forever indebted to you.

Check out this story on Michigan ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) agents from Detention and Removal Operations arresting illegal aliens in western Michigan. Watch the video, too.
The Deportation Officers found illegal aliens living in a Habitat for Humanity house. We wonder how many other Habitat for Humanity homes are not housing poor U.S. citizens, but illegal aliens who take advantage of the generosity of Americans who charitably built those homes?.
More from Grand Rapids, Michigan’s WZZM13/ABC:
In one instance 3 members of an El Salvadorian family living in a Habitat for Humanity house in Holland are found at home. All are fugitves. The agents don’t usually take children, and do not want to take the mother, leaving the kids alone. So they arrest the father and transport him to jail, where he will sit for several weeks until being flown back to El Salvador.
Apparently, Habitat for Humanity is now Habitat for Illegal Aliens.

Tyne Daly has signed on to the cast of Murphy Brown, CBS’ revival of the 1988 sitcom.
The former star of Cagney & Lacy and Judging Amy will play Phyllis, the sister of the beloved, deceased bar owner Phil from the original series, and it’s evident that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. She has taken over the bar and is a friend and confidant to Murphy and the gang.
Daly will join star Candice Bergen, who is back as the famous investigative journalist and TV anchor at the FYI network in the reboot, along with Faith Ford (perky anchor Corky Sherwood), Joe Regalbuto (investigative reporter Frank Fontana) and Grant Shaud (executive producer Miles Silverberg) who are all reprising their original roles from the hit comedy. Jake McDorman and Nik Dodani also will join the cast.
CBS gave a 13-episode series order to the current-day revival, spearheaded by original’s creator Diane English and studio Warner Bros. TV, which will come on the 30th anniversary of the original series. Murphy Brown returns to a world of cable news, social media, fake news and a very different political and cultural climate.
Daly has a long history at CBS having had major roles in three series for the network, Cagney & Lacey, Christy and Judging Amy, which earned her a total of six Emmy awards. She also won a Tony for her starring role in the Broadway revival of Gypsy. On the film side, Daly was most recently seen in Spider Man: Homecoming.
Warner Bros. TV will produce the new multi-cam comedy with English serving as writer/executive producer through her Bend in the Road Productions banner. Bergen will also be an executive producer.
During the show’s original run on CBS, Murphy Brown received 62 Emmy nominations (with 18 wins), 15 Golden Globe nominations (with three wins), three Screen Actors Guild Awards, five Directors Guild nominations (with two wins) and four Writers Guild nominations (with two wins). Bergen won five Emmys and two Golden Globe Awards.

Plans to build the feed mill were first announced to shareholders in October, last year. Saudi Fisheries selected Chinese feed machinery manufacturers Muyang Group for the supply and construction of the feed mill.
The feed mill will be built at a cost of SAR16.7 million (USD$4.5 million), and will have a capacity of 20 tonnes per hour equivalent to 96,000 tonnes per annum.
The feed produced by the new aquatic feed mill will help to support the fish and shrimp farming operations of the company.
With the new feed mill, the company is looking to reduce production its production costs by up to 30%, and will also allow the company greater control on the quality of their fish feed.
The feed mill is expected to be completed within 8 months of signing the contract.

Tamar Braxton and Tiny Harris’s feud isn’t over yet.
Amid her divorce drama with estranged husband T.I., Tiny and Tamar aren’t letting their feud die down anytime soon and are now taking their own drama to social media.
As fans will remember, Tiny’s (Tameka Cottle) mom seriously clapped back at Tamar earlier this year for ignoring Harris’s daughter Heiress, who Braxton’s Goddaughter, and now the reality star is seriously hitting back.
Tamar replied to a fan who enquired about their nasty feud on Instagram, in which she claimed that there are “two sides to every story” amid their beef.
After an Instagram user commented on Braxton’s recent post by claiming that Tiny should “get someone else” to be her daughter’s Godmother, Tamar scathingly hit back, “Thank you for commenting on things you don’t know about.”
“The last time I checked, Tiny is my son’s godmother and has NOT seen or checked on him as well!” Braxton continued according to a screen shot captured by East Coast Renaissance, referring to her son Logan.
Tamar then accused Tiny and her mom of “tarnishing her name” and “not speaking the truth” when talking about her and Harris’s nasty feud.
That’s when Tiny chimed in and clapped back on Instagram to reveal her take on the drama with her former friend.
Replying to the comments on Instagram, East Coast Renaissance posted another screen shot of their interaction in which T.I.’s estranged wife slammed the Braxton Family Values star and told her that she “should be quiet” instead of talking about their beef.
Telling fans that they shouldn’t be commenting on their feud when they don’t know the truth, Tiny added, “Tamar should be quiet before things get out of hand. If I would have known my mom was gonna say something I would have stopped her too because it’s between me and Tamar that’s it!”
As reported by BET back in March, Tiny Harris’ mom wasn’t afraid to throw some major shade at Tamar Braxton earlier this year, accusing her of ignoring Heiress amid her drama with Harris.
After Tamar posted an image to Instagram and claimed that she wanted a baby daughter, Tiny’s mom responded, “Why don’t you claim your god daughter Heiress. Just because you don’t talk to her mom.”
Tamar and Tiny seriously fell out last year after Harris publicly supported the daytime talk show The Real after Braxton was sensationally fired from the show after serving two seasons as a co-host.
Braxton made no secret of her drama with her former co-stars and her beef with the show on social media and even unfollowed a slew of other members of the twosome’s friendship group – including Kandi Burruss, Monica, and Toya Wright – for either appearing on or supporting the show in the wake of her firing.
Braxton then continued to slam her former friend on social media in the weeks that followed her decision to unfollow the T.I. & Tiny: The Family Hustle star, even seemingly taking sides amid her marriage drama with husband T.I.
Tamar liked a photo the rapper posted of himself to Instagram after the couple announced their separation and plans to divorce, which made it pretty clear that she was still supporting T.I. despite rumors he cheated on Harris.
In April of this year, Tiny then shed a little more light on her feud with Tamar during an appearance on The Wendy Williams Show.
Harris confirmed that the two are beefing, but seemed to suggest that there’s still a chance the two could reconcile just weeks before their feud boiled over again on Instagram.
“I’m always going to consider Tamar a good friend of mine,” Tiny told Wendy according to Urban Belle Magazine, even describing the Braxton Family Values star as being “like family” to her despite their feud.
What do you think of Tiny Harris and Tamar Braxton’s scathing social media clap backs amid their nasty feud?

Talib Kweli, Amanda Diva and DJ Kut have paid respect to the memory of the late Tupac Shakur, 14 years after his passing in Nevada.
Talib recalled his reaction upon learning of Pac’s death via Twitter.
“RIP to our shining prince Tupac Amaru Shakur. And happy born day to our sister in the struggle @dreamhampton313,” he tweeted.
“I cried when Tupac died, it was a Friday. We stayed up all night, bumping Sade. (via Sticman, Dead Prez)” (Talib Kweli’s Twitter)
Diva paid homage to the late rapper by making his 14th anniversary a possible Twitter trending topic.
“#riptupac” (Amanda Diva’s Twitter)
In memory of Pac, Kut posted links to special tribute mixes featuring the rapper.
“2pac Rest In Peace! September 13, 1996! DJ Kut Presents: 2pac “From The Cradle To The Grave” Download Now! http://bit.ly/crUo0T,” he posted Monday morning.
Tupac was fatally shot in 1996 following a Las Vegas, Nevada boxing match.
While his celebrity was at its peak, he publicly fought with his rival, the Notorious B.I.G., and there were tensions brewing at Death Row. Even with such conflicts, however, 2Pac’s drive-by shooting in September 1996 came as an unexpected shock. On September 13, six days after the shooting, 2Pac passed away, leaving behind a legacy that was based as much on his lifestyle as it was his music. (All Music)

Summer heats up with pop-ups from Twin Cities chefs Tim McKee and Yia Vang
One of the Twin Cities’ most influential chefs, Tim McKee, is breaking into the pop-up circuit.
From his James Beard Award for Best Chef in the Midwest to longtime fine dining apex La Belle Vie, from Sea Change’s sustainable seafood to Solera’s Spanish flavors in downtown Minneapolis — not to mention countless other projects and mentorships – McKee has influenced both diners and a generation of chefs who now run some of the city’s most exciting restaurants. That’s why the latest pop-up, in what is quickly becoming the summer of pop-ups, is so important.
McKee partners with Work for a special event with ticket at the basement bar of the restaurant until August. The idea came from a beer and a conversation he had with Mike Brown, one of the chefs/owners of Labour. The menu will be inspired by Txikiteo (pronounced chee-kee-tay-o), a tapas tour in San Sebastian, Spain.
Tickets must be purchased in advance and start at $60 per person; extras include cocktail flights, oysters, wagyu steak, and more. Reservations are available Thursday through Saturday until mid-August. Work is at 4134 Hubbard Ave. N., Robbinsdale; buy tickets on travailkitchen.com.
Vinai partners with Steady For
Chief Yia Vang Vinai, the current leader of the oldest and most anticipated restaurant, joins forces with a bar and an event space Pour regularly for a summer residence. Each five-course dinner begins with a small bite of appetizer, progresses through noodles to heavier protein, and ends with dessert. Tickets are $120 per person and are available June 23-25, July 7-9, and July 14-16.
Vinai has been opening up completely since plans were first announced before the pandemic. Since then there has been a 2020 Kickstarter campaign, an advertised location at 1717 NE. 2nd St. in Minneapolis, several mobile feasts, takeouts and pop-ups. Additionally, this year Vang was nominated for a James Beard Award.
In addition to Vinai, Vang also operates Union Hmong Kitchen out of the Graze Provisions + Libations food hall in Minneapolis’ North Loop, hosts TPT’s “Relish” digital show, and recently launched a new podcast called Hmonglish.
Chef Adam Vickerman brings back Tosca
Pasta lovers rejoice – Chef Adam Vickerman is back where it all began and reigniting the flame inside Tosca at its original location in Linden Hills (3415 W. 44th St., Mpls.) . Trattoria Tosca was a well-received Italian restaurant by Harvey McLain, who also owns Turtle Bread, and was overseen by an array of chefs, including Vickerman, who would become well known in the Twin Cities culinary scene.
The restaurant, which closed in 2016, was part of a revolution for this group of restaurants, which also included Levain and Cafe Levain, where Vickerman also cooked. Now the chef has announced via social media that the first restaurant he opened is making a comeback with service five nights a week. Look for a mid-summer opening.
Food Network star Molly Yeh is opening a restaurant in East Grand Forks

Funky Grits owner brings fried chicken to Minneapolis
Jared Brewington will open Official Fried Chicken at 4010 E. 46th St. in Minneapolis. The simple menu will focus on grilled fried chicken, prepared in a proprietary pressure cooker. The menu is incredibly concentrated, with only three kinds of fried chicken and fries.
It’s a return to the city and to fried chicken for Brewington, founder of the now closed Funky Grits. He also held a booth inside the North Loop Galley food hall when it opened, serving up – what else – fried chicken. But this time there is a Broaster. The restaurant should open soon. Get updates at officialfriedchicken.com.

Sociable Cider Werks on the hunt for the next food truck sensation
When Sociable cider houses in northeast Minneapolis purchased a food trailer in 2019, they wanted to not only provide a stable food option for their customers, but also provide opportunities for local chefs and entrepreneurs.
Resident chefs so far have included Ian Gray with the Curious Goat, Sammy McDowell’s Sammy’s Avenue Eatery, Yia Vang’s Union Hmong Kitchen and now Francis, a plant-based burger joint. Who will be the next one ?
Those with the initiative and ideas should apply at sociablecider.com/resident-kitchen by June 30. The cider house hopes to have a selected partner by the end of July, with a September start date. Sociable Cider Werks is at 1500 NE. Fillmore St., MPs.


Which Washington Commanders find themselves firmly on the hot seat as Josh Harris' exciting new ownership era gets underway?
It's been two days of relief and celebration across the Washington Commanders. This is likely to continue throughout the weekend and beyond, but the hard work starts now for Josh Harris and his wealthy team of investors.
The message was clear throughout their introductory press conference on Friday. Harris and his group want to restore the Commanders as a primary community presence, upgrade almost everything associated with the fan experience, and put out a winning football product after so much misery under the previous regime.
These are lofty objectives that will take time to accomplish. But it does nothing to lessen the pressure on some individuals within the building heading into a crossroads campaign.
With that in mind, here are five Commanders who find themselves on the hot seat now the team's sale has been finalized.
Marty Hurney - Commanders Executive VP Football/Player Personnel
It doesn't take a genius to figure out that almost everyone will be scrutinized heavily by Josh Harris and his team. Everyone will get a fair shake and a chance to prove themselves, with the timeframe before Week 1 making any landmark alterations to infrastructure almost impossible all things considered.
One man who could be in the firing line is Marty Hurney, The experienced front office figure remains a close associate of Ron Rivera's from their time together on the Carolina Panthers and an important member of the team's pre-draft assessments, so his fate will likely mirror the head coach whichever way things pan out.

From Kochland to Standing Rock: Here Are the 16-plus Best Environmental Books of August
By John R. Platt
Things are heating up — and not just because it's August. This past June was the hottest June on record, and as of this writing July was shaping up to follow. That makes this month's new books about climate change essential reading, along with other important new titles on pollution, wildlife, oceans and Indigenous peoples.
Our full list — an amazing 16 books, plus an entire series for kids — appears below. They include a deep dive into the world of the Koch brothers, a look at plastic in our food, an examination of the future of bluefin tuna, thoughts from the Standing Rock protests and a whole lot more.
Kochland: The Secret History of Koch Industries and Corporate Power in America by Christopher Leonard — The scary true story of how one private company stalled action on climate change, bought influence in the government, widened the gap between rich and poor, killed unions and so much more.
Leave It in the Ground: The Politics of Coal and Climate by John C. Berg — Want to know why we need to get rid of coal — and how we do it? This book lays out the science in clear, understandable language and reveals the truth about the politics and economics of the coal industry. Berg then provides a roadmap for how activists and governments can dismantle it.
End Times: A Brief Guide to the End of the World by Bryan Walsh — This isn't strictly a climate-change book — it also covers apocalyptic volcanos, nuclear war, disease outbreaks and other terrifying scenarios — but it does showcase the people working to understand how the world could end and what they're doing to prevent it. Which, you know, is kind of an important job.
Inconspicuous Consumption: The Environmental Impact You Don't Know You Have by Tatiana Schlossberg — How do your fashion sense, your lunch and your taste in Netflix movies contribute to climate change? A former New York Times science writer lays out the hidden effects of our daily lives and shows how informed and empowered consumers can make a difference.
Wildlife & Conservation:
The Future of Bluefin Tunas edited by Barbara A. Block — Dozens of experts from 15 countries contribute to this exhaustive examination of the threats facing all three species of bluefin tuna and what's being done to save them.
Extinction: A Very Short Introductionby Paul B. Wignall — A slim book about a big topic: Why do species die out? Covering historic mass extinctions and the current biodiversity crisis, this book offers what you need to know about what we're losing.
Science Comics: Cats by Andy Hirsch — A fun focus on our feline friends, looking at the science of everything from tigers to housecats. As with the rest of the "Science Comics" series, this is perfect for young readers or graphic-novel fans of all ages.
Tracking the Highland Tiger: In Search of Scottish Wildcats by Marianne Taylor — Persecution by farmers and hybridization with housecats have made the Scottish wildcat one of the rarest and most threatened felines on the planet. This book comes out at a time when conservation efforts to save the species are starting to pay off. Will they be in time?
Life Without Animals by Theresa Emminizer — This six-book series for young readers (available individually or as a set) asks what would happen if species such as elephants, sea otters, prairie dogs and tigers disappeared and examines the ecological effects of their extinctions.
Wilted: Pathogens, Chemicals and the Fragile Future of the Strawberry Industry by Julie Guthman — A truly eye-opening book about the often exploitative industry that produces one of the world's most mouth-watering fruits.
You Are Eating Plastic Every Day: What's in Our Food? by Danielle Smith-Llera — Middle-school students may never eat at the school cafeteria again after reading this book.
The Outlaw Ocean: Journeys Across the Last Untamed Frontier by Ian Urbina — The high seas exist outside of international law, which means they can also be quite lawless. The author spent five years reporting around the world to expose the crime and exploitation that run rampant through the fishing, oil and shipping industries.
Into the Planet: My Life as a Cave Diver by Jill Heinerth — Science and adventure far beneath the sea. This must-read memoir looks back at an amazing career and provides insight into parts of the world that few of us will ever see in person.
Ocean Recovery by Ray Hilborn and Ulrike Hilborn — Which of the world's fisheries are sustainable, and why? This book offers the scientific context for what we know about the status and ecological impact of global fishing operations.
Floating Coast: An Environmental History of the Bering Strait by Bathsheba Demuth — The Bering Straits are known for their Arctic waters, amazing wildlife and Indigenous peoples, but they're also the site of a clash between capitalism and communism for control of the natural world's finite resources.
Indigenous Food Sovereignty in the United States edited by Devon A. Mihesuah and Elizabeth Hoover — The subtitle of this book is "Restoring Cultural Knowledge, Protecting Environments, and Regaining Health," which pretty much says it all. Noted activist Winona LaDuke provides the foreword.
Standing With Standing Rock: Voices from the #NoDAPL Movement edited by Nick Estes and Jaskiran Dhillon — An essential volume to understand the history and significance of the famous resistance action, combining everything from essays and interviews to poems and photography.
