I’m not going to lie to you and pretend there’s any news going on worth writing about so I’m spending the day going over some old NewsCut posts for a “whatever happened to” series of updates.
In the process, I found this from New Year’s Eve two years ago and it reminded me to be more penguin-like. The world needs more penguiny people.
Bob Collins retired from Minnesota Public Radio in 2019 after 12 years of writing NewsCut and pointing out to complainants that posts weren’t news stories. A son of Massachusetts, he was a news editor 1992-1998, created the MPR News regional website in 1999, invented the popular Select A Candidate, started several blogs, and every day lamented that his Minnesota Fantasy Legislature project never caught on.
