As we do every year we are now revisiting other half time performances. A few years back I did a ranking of my faves but I lost it ditching twitter. But I can for damn sure tell you Prince was #1.

You're laughing? The team that lends their plane for deportation flights and whose owner is best pals with Trump got utterly humiliated in front of a hundred million viewers, and you're laughing?

THE HATERS SAID THE PATRIOTS COULDN'T DO IT. AND THEY WERE CORRECT. HONESTLY GREAT CALL FROM THE HATERS

They are saying Kid Rock handed his Grammy to lil’ Kyle Rittenhouse during the halftime show. (Not true. Kid Rock has never won a Grammy).

Do you like field goals? Do you like absolutely nothing but field goals? If so, has the NFL got a game for you

what a shot

Simply on a live performance stagecraft-design-camerawork-logistics-direction level, this is ASTOUNDING.

Every second of this is just pure joy. Those hateful asshole will never know happiness like this and it kills them, though they’ll never admit it.

Just yelled “TWO DUDES GRINDING FUCK YEAH” to absolutely no one.

Big night for Backstreet Boys for some reason.

No Kings includes Draft Kings

Eating the fuck out of some wings, Red Pop on ice, brick of Velveeta on deck.

He’s an incredible athlete but I just know that kid is a little shit. I can feel it in my bones.

I never noticed this either.

i need an emotional support perogi

Shout out to the Polish men’s skater doing his short form skate to Snap’s “I Got the Power” and kicking it off with a body roll.

Oh shit I know so many people who would be perfect for this. Could it be YOU??

Vice President JD Vance gets roundly booed at the opening ceremony of the Milano-Cortina 2026 Olympics. "Those are a lot of boos for him, whistling jeering," says the presenter. US athletes receive a warm welcome from fans, though.

I love vintage inspired Valentine’s Day decor but wasn’t finding what I wanted so I decided to make my own a few years ago. Animals are sculpted from polymer clay and I used some vintage paper I found for the details. And of course, lots of tinsel.

Got a new tshirt. Did not realize it was glow in the dark.

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

Welp, I have lost Doug to the Gibson Garage.

A few months ago Doug got us tickets to see a band I love, Glossary, reunite after almost a decade for a show in Nashville. Their album, "long live all of us" means a lot to me for several reasons and I was SO excited to finally see them. But then mom got sick and the trip was in limbo.

Mom just got her scan results—chemo is working and everything is shrinking! I have never felt relief like this in my life.

My mom’s appetite is back today and she asked me to pick her up some shawarma sandwiches. Ordered from a friend’s restaurant and she saw my name on the slip and packed up two bags of stuff because she wanted to make sure my mom eats enough. 😭 We’re so lucky to have such a good village.

Genuinely pretty alarming how many huge accounts insisted that the Alex Pretti video was AI instead of focusing on the obvious facts that it’s not justification for murder and that it raises additional suspicion that he was deliberately targeted.

I used to send Valentine's Day cards on the level of my holiday cards but fell off a few years ago. I also used to sit down on the 1st of every month and would send cards to all friends with birthdays that month but also dropped off that around the same time. This inspires me to do that again.

My (not so) little cousin got into UofM! Her first choice! I’m so happy for her! And also selfishly happy for us since she’ll be right down the street!

CNN reporting that a week before Alex Pretti was killed, 5 agents tackled him and he suffered a broken rib. CNN says he stopped his car after he saw ICE agents interacting with a family on foot and began to blow his whistle. Source tells CNN Pretti believed “That day he thought he was going to die”

Cold, snowy day and heart aching. Making a giant pot of cassoulet for comfort. Packed with duck confit, Toulouse sausages, a ham hock, and chicken quarters. Veg sautéed in bacon fat. Beans, herbs, butcher stock… 4 hours in the oven and hoping for the best. As with all things these days.

Absolute banger of a comment on r/military: www.reddit.com/r/Military/c...

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

On top of all today’s heartbreak I just found out a friend of mine from college passed away. We hadn’t kept up much since I moved back to MI but he was the best. Just such a shining, kind soul. Looking through our old photos and on every one he’s got a giant grin. I am gutted. On so many levels.

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

Federal law enforcement agents shot and killed a man in Minneapolis on Jan. 24 according to local police officials. DHS told Fox News that the man was “armed with a gun”. A video of the shooting appears to show that a gun was taken from the man before the first shot was fired. x.com/BillMelugin_...

Watch with discretion. I doubt he could even see from the chemical agents they unloaded on him right before they threw him to the ground. JFC that is an execution. 🤬🤬🤬🤬

It’s no comfort, but the official DHS line being “he can be killed by masked agents of the state because he had a legal gun” is such an interesting new frontier in how Trump has made the conservative movement very publicly and embarrassingly abandon every principal it once claimed.

“Everyone should be allowed to carry a gun for their safety but the government can murder you in the street if you have a gun” is an incredible endpoint for the conservative moment

Alex Pretti, the man killed by federal agents today in Minneapolis, appears to have been a registered nurse, an athlete, a son and a brother, with ties to Colorado and Wisconsin. Here is a photo he used for several accounts.

A new video appears to show the moments leading up to a fatal shooting by federal agents in Minneapolis, with the individual appearing to simply record on his phone as agents escalated the situation. 🎥 dangjessie / Threads

The detention of witnesses and seizure of their phones is an extraordinary violation of every fucking Amendment you can name: bsky.app/profile/timd...

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

I am trying not to post on these events in this state of mind but: I hope people understand what the observers are doing is brave and dangerous.

Friday report: It’s so cold Oliver won’t even fully go outside to pee. He just went on the porch and ran back inside. Also, Doug stopped at Emagine and got us a bucket of popcorn for Drag Race and I made us shimmering mocktails and I put on a hello kitty spa mask. And that’s the news of the day.

I am very tempted to go for Harry Styles/Robyn tickets in Amsterdam because I desperately need something to look forward to or I’ll combust. But May seems so far away and I have no idea what will happen with mom, the world, etc. Planning for anything in the unknown is impossible.

In 2004 I was visiting family in Poland and my cousin was giving me shit for the war in Iraq and other foreign policies. I told him I didn’t support it and actively worked against Bush’s election, running several canvassing precincts. He was dismissive.

In an NPR interview, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer says she expects further efforts to disrupt voting in her swing state and that Democrats have been discussing how to respond. She even says it’s not “paranoia” to think the government will use DHS to interfere.

Yep. Too cold to get a good rise but goddamn it tastes good. Added a little orange zest to the dough.

Just dropped a couple of chocolate babka in the oven. It’s so effing cold I’m not sure how good the proof was but in 30 minutes we’ll find out. 🤞🤞
