We are a tiny little independent theater company that has been plugging along for 12 years! Minnesota's #GivetotheMax (already underway!) is great opportunity to support our work and keep us going. Even a small donation can have huge impact. Please consider making a contribution! give.mn/byr25g

There are worse things than monsters! Find out what in "The Monster Hunter’s Armistice" from Pat Harrigan's (@patguy.bsky.social) The Sunday Scaries! "A hundred pairs of eyes narrowed in hostility. Lips curled, fur bristled, tendrils tensed." www.ghoulishdelights.com/the-sunday-s...

Yes. People losing their jobs for expressing their opinion of a supposed free-speech advocate on the occasion of his death. Way to honor that message and show the world that you only hate cancel culture when it's not you doing it.

President plans to commemorate 9/11 by attacking a major U.S. city. #neverforget

On the of chance it hasn't already been shared with @gamechangershow.bsky.social, he's one of many crop art joys discovered at the MN Statr Fair.

I do not believe Washington DC actually needed 1500 more mall cops. #freedc

Five and half years too late, Trump finally calls the National Guard to D.C.

Wait. Does this mean that every time Trump signs his name, he's indicating where the pubic hair is? Like all of his executive orders are meant to have pubic hair at the bottom?

Struggling to schedule game night with Magenta: "I'm sorry. You're sorry." "THE BANNISTER'S SORRY!"

Well, I guess ICE just elected the next mayor of NYC.

Everybody get your "SOMEONE LEFT MY CAKE OUT IN THE RAIN" memes ready for tomorrow.

Loser traitor face stands up for loser traitor face representation. apnews.com/article/trum...

Sure. Please send in the marines to protect LA from the masked terrorists who are attacking journalists and civilians at the bidding of a lunatic. "Just following orders" will not protect ICE, HSI, or anyone else from the legacy of shame they are bringing on themselves.

Crazed gunman shoots jounalist.

US out of California!

Oh, Marjorie Taylor Greene can eat a great big bag of leprous lemur shit. "George Floyd died of a drug overdose"? Why don't you try a sample of cop-kneeling-on-your-throat-for-nine-minutes? See what that does for you. Making America Garbage Again.

Did Reid Fleming, World's Toughest Milkman make a cameo appearance on The Great North?!

Maybe if we don't pay El Salvador to imprison this (at least one) totally innocent person (probably more) they might be willing to return him? America is awful right now. We're monsters. We will be the comic villains of the future and the example used to show how bad things can get.

Hey, #Avelo, you should really walk away from that human trafficking contract you signed. Cause that's what "deportations" without due process is.

Minnesota steps up! #handsoff

On my way to St. Paul for thr #handsoff rally!

Cool! I was just thinking that what I really needed to do was post a fully-articulated thought without having to break it up into a series of small, bite-sized installments. I mean, that's fine, but it isn't as satisfying as one full meal of a post that can only be manifested by a full 300 chararac

Well I guess I can check that off my to-do list...

I have never been more excited about an inexplicable, unrecognizable deep-cut Halloween costume than my plan to dress as the Caligrapher from The Residence.

Fully boiled frog warns that water may be growing warmer.

"Damn it, you told me you could get Jeff Goldblum on this text chain. Now I look like an idiot."

Hi, Canada. You know, if you ever are in the market for an eleventh province, you could do worse than Minnesota. We're... we're not too shabby.

I'm pretty sure Vance hears the words "Thank You" a LOT less than he believes he is entitled to. #thankyouukraine

Many years ago, I saw The Bottle Rockets in concert and they drove this song firmly into my head. It...spoke to me. It continues to...speak to me. This is "Gotta Get Up." It's Wednesday. You deserve an earworm. #earwormwednesday youtu.be/OZKaFrNhhY8?...

I had to give up Spotify. It was messing with my capacity to just sit and enjoy an album. But it was good for reconnecting to musicians I'd forgotten about. Like The Rentals! This is "Shake Your Diamonds"! It's Wednesday. You deserve an earworm. #earwormwednesday youtu.be/qauk769WkKU?...

The Muskrump purge is seeping into every nook and cranny. No neighborhood is exempt from this fetid assault on all the good that the government has ever done. Here's an update from the Playwrights' Center here in the twin cities. pwcenter.org/updates-affe...

When Minnesota delivers for-realsies cold, I often think of "The Rodeo Song" by Garry Lee and the Showdown. It's a glorious, profanity-laced celebration of disdain for subzero temperatures and subpar line dancing. It's Wednesday. You deserve an earworm. #earwormwednesday youtu.be/Qh2VU8mP6aM?...

This is my superhero music. Arms akimbo. Identity hidden behind swim goggles. Towel tied securely around my neck and flapping majestically behind me. This is the music that plays. "Dan Dare" by The Wedding Present. It's Wednesday. You deserve an earworm. #earwormwednesday youtu.be/aRQt8QIAMZ0?...

Wait... so now Musk could release Trump's tax returns...

I'm on an ongoing quest to contribute to the "Midwestern Gothic" genre. I love it! In that pursuit, I stumbled across this bit of macabre joy from American Murder song! This is "A Body on he Step"! It's Wednesday! You deserve an earworm. #earwormwednesday youtu.be/enfnYaIRLOA?...

So it's been a smidge over 20 years since I borrowed a copy of Tim Power's novel Last Call from @patguy.bsky.social and had so much fun reading it. Finally got my own copy at McKay's in Chattanooga last weekend (www.mckaybooks.com) and time has only made the ride more enjoyable. It's still a hoot!

Shared by my wife on my behalf. She's the best. ❤️

There's Frozen Yogurt in the Atlanta Airport. Some treasures once lost, do return.

Some years ago I was visiting my folks in TN and we went to the Grand Ole Opry. Becky Buller (originally from Minnesota!) was making her GOO debut and she was great! It's Wednesday. You deserve an earworm. #earwormwednesday youtu.be/_ae9CY85fjg?...

This popped up on my [some other social media service] history. It's a treasured passage from The Ninth Configuration by William Peter Blatty.

A few years ago, I was publicly declaring my adoration for Kirsty MacColl and a friend shared this cover version of Billy Braggs' "A New England" (famously covered by MacColl). It's Wednesday. You deserve an earworm. #earwormwednesday youtu.be/VSQ15Uv6hf8?...

A new story has been dug up just for you! From @patguy.bsky.social's Weird Microfiction series The Sunday Scaries, this is "Würmer der Erde"! "After visiting his wife, he squirms back down the tunnel. The broken stones barely bother him any more." www.ghoulishdelights.com/the-sunday-s...

Is Colin Jost somewhere in every old photo?

The Sunday Scaries presents: The Pig-god.

My unasked for 2 cents on transgender stuff: I cannot imagine what it would be like to be told from birth that I'm gender something, but know that I am not and to have to assert that truth against whatever environmental pushback one faces. That's hard for me to wrap my head around. However... 1/2

Holy bejebus this place is suddenly hoppin'!

Elon Musk knows he can't cut government costs by laying off citizens, right? Right?
