I live in Minneapolis and I can assure you it's absolutely nothing more than "grab the first non-white person you see", laws ain't got shit to do with it

A farewell to the unsung sideman.

Rest in Peace, Fred Smith of Television, what an incredible bassist. The simple, four note part at the beginning of "Marquee Moon" is right up there with the bass part from "A Love Supreme" to me youtu.be/jlbunmCbTBA?...

Here it is: A piece I've been working on since September. I spoke with a ton of folks from across the many eras of Fallout – from Tim Cain and Todd Howard to Jonathan Nolan and Walton Goggins – to tell the definitive oral history of Fallout bsky.app/profile/game...

Just found the best online product review ever

Cocoa Brovaz (aka Smif n Wessun) rock the Super Mario music, a Limewire classic youtu.be/csg4naY2I8w?...

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.

Rap Game Miss Marple

Losing Diane Keaton and Rob Reiner and Catherine O'Hara in quick succession is a pretty big blow for people who enjoy elementary things such as "laughter" and "joy"

$100,000!!!!!!!!! In less than an hour!! bit.ly/iceoutminnea...

My band, with impeccable timing as usual, released a new single on this EXTREMELY SLOW NEWS DAY in Minneapolis music. I'm sure this will be the talk of the town. youtu.be/KhsO-YLMBrk?...

No, that was a remarkable thing about her talent: she was NEVER bad. She was good in stuff that wasn't the best, but when she had (or wrote? or made? or improvised?) good material, she was spectacular and often HYSTERICALLY funny.

This place is a treasure

The Melania movie made some strange choices.

One time a guy said he hoped my whole family died of cancer because I gave the PlayStation Vita port of Jet Grind Radio a 7.75 out of 10

It's really funny how these dumb fucks think everyone is a craven shithead like they are

Brief timeline cleanse: Experience Unlimited (later became a go-go band and shortened the name to EU of "Da Butt" game), early stuff is amazing progressive jazz funk, maybe a mid ground between Parliament and early Kool & the Gang

1/27/2026 - Minneapolis ICE just attempted an illegal entry into the ECUADORIAN CONSULATE to abduct someone They did not have a warrant

We go through this every few years: NO ONE HERE CALLS CEDAR RIVERSIDE LITTLE MOGADISHU (today in the NYT / a twitter exchange from over seven years ago, though this has been going on for ages)

"You raise your voice, I erase your voice." ICE in Minneapolis are erasing your rights. Please share our new video of what's happening in our city. youtu.be/W1dyNcRGRXY

So much love for @moonpalacebooks.bsky.social

ICE vehicles at the Lake Street Target

I really want to stress how much Bovino leaving means very little on the ground in #Minneapolis, reports of 10 ICE officers out of vehicles on the Greenway. We haven't won anything yet.

It's not quite the most pressing issue at the moment, but the American people absolutely have a right to know the names of the federal officials who shot and killed a man peacefully protesting, who was on his knees, prone in the street when they shot him in the back.

I always loved you to the max

This is Minneapolis. Literally every corner along Lake St. packed with people holding candles, many singing, honoring a person who by all accounts was an absolute gem of a human, whose life was tragically stolen by a fascist, paramilitary occupation force.

this is lamont cranston erasure

This is my favorite Minneapolis song of all time, "Who Wrote the Night?" by Sicbay (feat. Nick Sakes of Dazzling Killmen): "We all wise up/in the crosshairs" youtu.be/BdEhv4qKDKQ?...

Seems pretty illegal, if that still matters.

While today was a hard day for all Minneapolitans, the way we come together for each other is inspiring. I love my neighbors and my neighborhood #MPLS #LoringPark

Had a great turnout for our block candlelight vigil for Alex Pretti, especially considering it's -6. Great community here in South Minneapolis.

Here's the thing: everything they do just grows the resistance. My gf is organizing a candle light vigil on our block for Alex Pretti, it's already turned into a group text for mutual aid and watching ICE

it feels a lot like today's murder is in response to the mass protests yesterday, as if to tell us we're powerless, that our solidarity won't protect us.

once again i am asking literally anyone in a position of power to do literally anything so that our neighbors stop getting fucking murdered in the street

Ayo Chuck these honeydrippers are still frontin on us! youtu.be/l_Jeyif7bB4?...

A coworker took this from her apartment. I haven't seen a crowd this size before. Maybe the first Women's March? But it was much much warmer that day. ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA!

If you just saw El jefe on MS now and you want to support Minnesotans go here. All of these are completely vetted. www.standwithminnesota.com

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

Similar feeling to when I was watching the 80s teensploitation flick Tuff Turf and it had a Marianne Faithfull song in the opening credits and better cinematography than every movie nominated for Best Picture last year

The Cheers oral history in Vanity Fair (I believe) had it as the last TV series written by people who didn't grow up watching television. I've never forgotten that.

hey i know i'm not exactly going out of my comfort zone here but this Saturday the 24th i'm playing 12 hours of Hitman to fundraise for MIRAC, a group helping lead the fight against ICE in Minnesota. random (brown) people are being violently kidnapped without warrants every day. let's talk about it.

Spotify has a nice picture of the classic Was (Not Was) lineup 😂

Dems share equal blame for all of this becuz they never ever will step up for us when the chips are down. This is 2020 all over again. Damn dog, maybe you should just resign?

Non-protesting dad just trying to hustle his kids, as young as 6mo, out of the neighborhood. ICE threw a flash-bang INTO HIS car, all 6 kids in the hospital now. If anyone wondered how things turn against occupying armies there's a case study playing out in front of you.

For people elsewhere who have asked how to support Minnesota while we’re overrun with nazi thugs, here’s an excellent list of places that could use financial help. Lots of choices. Thank you so much! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Footage for those curious.

Near Lyndale and 24th Ave in Minneapolis tonight, feds have reportedly shot another person. Preliminary info is shaky for now, hearing two people injured. BORTAC just rolled up in an armored vehicle. A crowd is gathering outside the police tape—MPD presence as well.

Being right about trump was boring, tedious, partisan, ideological. Being wrong about trump? Heterodox, contrarian, free thinking.
