Two major events held in Minneapolis over the weekend
Two major celebrations and a half-million visitors are taking place across Minneapolis. Twin Cities Pride and Somali Independence Day are bringing an air of celebration to the city. "The energy is incredible. Everyone's happy to be here. Everybody's celebrating each other," said Sophia Turner of Minneapolis. "We want people to understand who we are," said Ayub Hassan, who attended Somali Day as the owner of Blue Horn Somali Tea. "What we're highlighting is our freedom." Somali Day commemorates the country's separation from colonial rule in 1960. Both events combined brought roughly over 500,000 individuals to Minneapolis that's roughly the population of Wyoming. "Everyone can be themselves; if you're an ally or part of the LGBTQIA+ community," said Pritchard. "The community we're celebrating can be at a disadvantage, so it's important," said Turner. With both events going, safety is a high priority. Metro Transit even expanded services and offering free rides throughout the weekend of the festivities. "Happy Pride!" said Turner. "Happy Somali Independence Day!" said Iqra Mohamed of Minneapolis. Minnetrista resident Mike Schoeneman brought his girls to both events. "To celebrate the cultures and everything and to show my girls the differences too," said Schueneman. Pride continues on Sunday, June 29 with a parade starting at 11 a.m.

Reese Cooper Spring 2026 Menswear Collection
At 27, Reese Cooper has officially entered that stage in life where he needs to be ready for the wedding circuit. But when his cousin tied the knot in South Carolina recently, he found himself in the ironic position, after nearly a decade of designing, of having to hit a 'mass-pirational' retailer for a last-minute suit on his way to the airport. 'I was like, 'This is ridiculous, I need to fix that,'' the designer recalled in a showroom in the Upper Marais where both his namesake menswear collection and his lighter-priced RCOS line were on display. For spring, Cooper set about recalibrating outdoorsy California casual with a more mature, tailored, and mostly unisex offer that will easily pass muster in more elevated settings while still retaining sporty touches. Ripstop cords cinched the waist on blazers, a trench and a Harrington jacket in nylon; oversized cargo pockets gave button-downs or a printed poncho a fresh functionality, yet also looked crisp and sophisticated on a black, white and red houndstooth. As ever, his signature carabiner, a piece custom-designed by a former aerospace engineer befriended over Instagram, provided a throughline. Of his process, the designer explained, 'My favorite thing personally is to take something that you would traditionally find, then take the right thing and put it in the wrong place or the other way around.' Not that anything looked out of place here. Last Tuesday, Cooper's posse of chosen family, among them the stylist Savannah White, traveled with him an hour north of L.A. to the Angeles National Forest. There, his models posed on a rock in the San Gabriel River, in a location the designer had discovered on a hike. In a telling detail, he shot this lookbook with a thumbs-up from his friends over at the local Forest Service (look for new developments in that budding relationship next season). It speaks volumes about Cooper's interest in building on community, a philosophy he absorbed from Virgil Abloh. "If you're doing something fun that people want to be around, that should be the focus," he said. One doesn't often hear that during the fashion week swirl. Let's see where that takes him next.

WWE: Liv Morgan to miss several months due to shoulder injury
WWE's Liv Morgan will be out for several months due to a shoulder injury. File Photo by John Angelillo/UPI June 24 (UPI) -- WWE star Liv Morgan will miss several months of action due to a shoulder injury she suffered last week. WWE commentator Corey Graves made the announcement while discussing Morgan's injury on Raw Monday. Advertisement Morgan is currently one half of the Women's Tag Team Champions alongside her partner Raquel Rodriguez. WWE has not announced what will happen to the titles. Morgan suffered a dislocated shoulder June 16 during her match against Kairi Sane on Raw. The incident happened shortly after the match started when Morgan received a single-leg takedown from Sane. The move was performed properly, however, Morgan yelled in pain and the match was immediately paused. WWE superstar Liv Morgan throws the ceremonial first pitch before the Colorado Rockies-St. Louis Cardinals baseball game at Busch Stadium in St. Louis, Mo., in 2022. File Photo by Bill Greenblatt/UPI WWE medical personnel came ringside to check on Morgan, who was escorted to the back. The match was canceled, with Sane winning by forfeit. Morgan had recently attacked Hall of Famer Nikki Bella with the segment appearing to set up a match between the two; however, the bout will now most likely not take place.
