Post Modern Times pauses to reassess their community-centric approach

When the ICE surge hit Minnesota hard in deep winter, Minneapolis’ Modern Times cafe slapped a new Post prefix on their name and sign and took the prices off their menu. The move was hailed as a powerful testament to the power of community care, but six months later, owner Dylan Alverson is closing the Post Modern Times for a few weeks to reassess their approach.

Legendary U of M baseball coach John Anderson, who led the program for 43 years before retiring in 2024, has died at the age of 71. He began his stint as head coach at the ripe old age of TWENTY-SIX, a time when most of us are re-evaluating our life choices and moving halfway across the country. That wasn’t just me, right?

Yesterday was the third anniversary of Sinéad O’Connor’s passing, and Jayson Greene penned a lovely ode to her stunning cover of Prince’s “Nothing Compares 2 U” from her breakout album, I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got. He focuses in on this nearly unbelievable performance from Chile:

“But her face is split open by rapture, and at the 2:55 mark, she tips her head back. The pure, keening note she hits feels like it has lived inside her since the day she was born, since long before the energies that made her collided into each other. It is a sound as old as existence. It rips me cleanly in half, like a photograph torn neatly down the center on a live television broadcast in front of millions. She beams it out for about 10 perfect, holy, cleansing seconds. Then she closes her mouth.”
