You have one more week to see “Modern Art and Politics in Germany, 1910-1945” at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.

I recently endured a 14-hour flight from Manila to LAX by listening to nothing but The Best of Sade on repeat. Only Sade can rhyme Chicago with Key Largo and still bring me inner peace.

Is the demon in this movie from the hot dog finger dimension? #everythingeverywhereallatonce #svengoolie

“Call it off, Coswell” is a phrase I need to start saying on the daily. #svengoolie

The Mandalorian and Grogu skidding down a snowy mountain slope inside an Imperial chicken walker was the best skiing I’ve seen in a movie since Roger Moore in The Spy Who Loved Me.

I loved The Mandalorian and Grogu. Especially the part where the film slows down so Grogu can build a tiny mud hut in the jungle to help the Mandalorian. I'll be watching that sequence and everything around it for the rest of my life whenever I want to relax. What an unexpected joy.

How to Make a Monster makes a classic mistake that so many movies about Hollywood make: the movies that are being made in the movie look better than the movie we are currently watching. #Svengoolie

I’ve seen this movie on #Svengoolie before and it is NOT as instructive as you might think.

This is somewhat cathartic.

Dracula keeps armadilloes like Pablo Escobar kept hippos. #Svengoolie

Putting a random score on top of Tod Browning’s Dracula is fascinating. Like playing Dark Side of the Moon over The Wizard of Oz. #Svengoolie should absolutely put Dark Side of the Moon on this.

Svengoolie is airing Tod Browning’s Dracula with a soundtrack used for a French DVD release? That feels weird. Not as weird as colorizing The Maltese Falcon. But still weird. #Svengoolie

The oldest American Olympian is on the ice!

This is an epic 90-second documentary. (I mostly watch the Olympics for the documentaries.)

I owe you an apology, Amber Glenn. I wasn't really familiar with your Magic: The Gathering Game.

This episode of #Svengoolie is great. But why is it taking him so long to make a Gorgonzola joke?

Since when do Bohemian artists know how to turn people to stone? Conservatives really will believe anything they hear. #svengoolie

If you think Peter Cushing’s moustache game is strong, just wait until Christopher Lee shows up. #svengoolie

I don’t know about the rest of America, but I could really use a good old-fashioned Hammer horror film tonight. Thanks for The Gorgon, #Svengoolie.

Can I buy one of the bright blue puffy jackets the Chinese athletes are wearing for the Olympics opening ceremony and how high are those tariffs going to be?

Snoop cheers for curling at the Olympics with Duluth, Minnesota curlers Cory Thiesse & Korey Dropkin making an appearance on his custom jacket.

I'm not on this podcast. But it's very good. And it mentions my documentary Cold War Secrets of Northern Minnesota. (Which reporter Christa Lawler also calls "very good.") So give it a listen! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w...

Jessie Diggins, Olympic cross-country skiing gold medalist, from the Twin Cities: “I want to make sure you know who I’m racing for…”

So… the people who keep tear gassing babies? Those are the bad guys. There’s no gray area here. History will remember.

I can’t call myself an American anymore. I’m a Minnesotan.

They lied about Renee Good. They are lying about Alex Pretti. I really hate our fascist federal government.

Minnesota is the best of us.

friends, it's time to make the horrors doomscroll us

Another friend put it to me like this: "ICE has made the classic Nazi mistake. They've invaded a winter people in the winter."

AOC: An agency that is attacking U.S. citizens, kidnapping five-year-olds and using them as bait, and privately circulating the idea that they can violate the rights of Americans by busting down their doors—they deserve to be defunded, and I’ll take any step in that direction.

There's a white supremacist "March Against Minnesota" tomorrow in Minneapolis. Temps will be single digits. I keep thinking of that X-Files episode where a time-traveling Fox Mulder yelled at Nazis before they marched into Russia: "You're all big men now but ... Hope you fellas like the cold!"

The Bone Temple is about a guy who lives in the woods working on his weird art projects and listening to records while the world is falling apart. I have never related more to any other movie ever.

I saw The Bone Temple last night and it definitively proves that skipping a Gen X president led to America’s downfall. Stay tuned for my 12-part YouTube series on this topic. #duranduran #radiohead

Posts from Minneapolis residents read like they'll be read in voiceover in a Ken Burns-like doc one day

I don't know how much Russia's brutally cold winter temps actually contributed to the defeat of the Nazi army in WW2. But it's something I like to think about as the Minnesota forecast turns colder this weekend and people remember that they don't have to let shivering ICE agents into their homes.

In case people don't understand how our federal government has just completely declared war on Minnesota. This is a map of ICE activity today. See for yourself: iceout.org/en/ #iceout

Froze my ass off at the Iowa City anti-ICE rally, but it was worth it

The GOP is in favor of randomly murdering American citizens now? Is that going to be a winning platform for them?

Why is NBC News showing me the video of the ICE murder and then lying to me about what I'm seeing?

Jacob Frey: "To ICE -- get the fuck out of Minneapolis"

If your position is that regime change should be forced on countries where the president does not respect democratic norms and regularly kidnaps opponents using an officially sanctioned paramiliatary, have I got news for you about your position on the United States

Were the robots in Creation of the Humanoids programmed to sound like radio announcers? Or is this what people who work in radio actually look like? #svengoolie
