🧵 For those wondering how someone convicted of a hit-and-run that put a woman in a coma and sentenced to 8 years in prison in 2020 was out and driving around *licensed* in 2023, let me introduce you to the absurdity of how vehicular crimes are charged and sentenced.

Sports journalism - and this Earth - lost a good one. Longtime @StribSports copy editor+Sunday section guru Pete Steinert died early this morning after a battle with cancer. It was Pete who came up with 'LET'S SKOL CRAZY' after the Minneapolis Miracle. Damn fine golf partner, too

Working as a photojournalist the last two years have been the best and worst moments of my career. I'm incredibly thankful to have done it along side the most amazing friends and colleagues in the biz.

Final story for the Star Tribune might be my favorite. Very thankful to Pete Gorton @TheDonaldsonNet for sharing his story and opening his home. History matters, and this story has compelled me since I met Pete almost a year ago in MO. – at Minneapolis, MN
The legacy of one of the great pitchers of the 20th century lives in a New Brighton basement. His name was John Donaldson, who died in 1970, buried then in an unmarked grave. He lives on because of the work of one Minnesotan. Story from @christinalong00 startribune.com/twin-cities-…
