For months, Rep. Randy Fine has been advocating vehicular murder. He wants to pass the “Thump Thumo Act.” An act to legally run over protesters.

Between Carmack and Palmer Luckey I'm tempted to start referring to my PSVR2 as an "ethically-sourced VR headset"

Do they think this is going to make them look good or will make things go away? There's video that's been playing non-stop for 24 hours and all of the "who are you going to believe, us or your lyin' eyes?" shit isn't going to work with an administration that's already deeply underwater.

this is a deliberate, obvious, ham-handed coverup by an administration that hopes to use it to provoke even more violent confrontations to feed their social media addiction

good that they got coverage away from the politics team (chronic bothsiders) and to visual investigations (consistently excellent)

I hope they lean on the new guys, this is the hardest I've laughed in this decade

Celebrating David Bowie's birthday by remembering the most On Cocaine anyone has ever been on TV

Day after day, it becomes more and more clear that Elon absolutely DID mean to give a Nazi salute.

finally we can return to tradition

It’s easy to think that schools in Minneapolis are closed because the Feds murdered someone in the street but no, the actual reason is that while that was happening, the Feds were busy doing other heinous shit across the city like tear-gassing a school

“The move came after officials at Roosevelt High School said armed U.S. Border Patrol officers came on school property during dismissal Wednesday and began tackling people, handcuffed two staff members and released chemical weapons on bystanders.” — www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Your first duty as a cat owner is to never let the cat find out about human food. If it does, that is on you as a pet owner.

It’s late at night and I can be grouchy so: I don’t like the new trend of wearing pimple patches that look like stickers in public. We know you have a pimple under there but it’s fine. We all get pimples. You’re drawing attention to it.

Oh sorry, I haven’t been online that much tonight, I’ve been forced to help organize a safety patrol at my kid’s daycare, because ICE stopped by today.

I love how completely LA has embraced the song I Love LA, a song about how deeply LA sucks to live in

Therapist: The FFVII Mental Health PSA isn’t real, it can’t hurt you The FFVII Mental Health PSA:

I know that the people who say stuff like this also haven’t read 1984 recently because if you have you’ll remember it’s mostly a book about Being Horny

it is true that it *should not* matter that the murder victim was a white, middle-class, U.S. citizen mother, but it is also true that it *does* matter and that the story reaches people who might not otherwise be reached as a result.

I love getting pedantic quote tweets about how “it’s actually kind of warm in Minnesota” from people who don’t know I lived there for twenty three years and don’t know what a rhetorical flourish is

I’m seeing a lot of people predict that “the right wing media is going to turn this story for Trump” and “they’re going to work overtime to make America forget this” and you should tell that to all these people out there in Minnesota in fucking January. This can matter. This will matter.

In case you’re wondering how the Trump diehards are going to handle today - it’s infinitely grosser than you think!

All-time Jeopardy great

the potential new owners seem poised to keep karaoke nights in place, thank god nygroove.nyc/breaking-leg...

Minneapolis friends: talk with Ryan, he’s a good egg

Heading to Minneapolis tomorrow morning with @grantirving.bsky.social. Will be there through the weekend Looking to talk to/meet up with anyone on the ground. My DMs are open.

Yes, more or less

Minnesota Public Radio says today marks the first and only shooting and homicide in Minneapolis in the year 2026

This is the hardest I’ve ever been owned online

When you've lost Geraldo (not doing a quote post because it has video of the shooting)

Oh what a nice day for this news to drop

btw this sort of tragic crime is exactly why i always say don’t flip out over every scummy little thing this administration says and does. this is why you preserve that energy, why you carefully maintain a sense of scale & perspective in the storm of shit they fling endlessly in all our faces

If you need something nice today, this album is gonna be a banger

protests have erupted in the restive province of Minnesota, located in the country's "Mid-Western" region.

Nobody is supposed to be able to "handle" witnessing atrocity and those who think they can are lying to themselves! You're fucking yourself up to feel holy! That's a hairshirt!

No, don't do it. I did it and it has seriously fucked me up. The important part is that it exists, not that you've personally witnessed it. A digital hairshirt does nothing but hurt you.

surrounding them after they just killed somebody and shouting “you can’t kill us all, nazis” is legitimate “ready to run through a wall” inspirational

The video shows an execution. And as we saw with George Floyd, there will be a tidal wave of creeps, bigots, and grifters telling you it doesn't. It's already started, I imagine. Don't let them.

I just watched the video, you don’t need to watch the video

I have watched the video. I think you probably do not need to watch the video. it shows what you think it's gonna show in terms of lack of justification.

Saw a sticker in lower Manhattan that said in big, bold type “MAMDANI HATES JEWS MORE THAN HE LOVES NEW YORK CITY” and what fucking planet does whoever made that live on?

Man we’re going to look back on this “oops all protein!” moment in American diet culture really negatively in like ten years

If you call me a sweet summer child I'll put you into the fucking wall on Turn 3.

Okay so it's basically at Feb 2008 on the Iraq Scale

Man, “the heath secretary’s affinity for saturated fat” is one of those things that you read that really sets off the ol’ This Isn’t Normal alarm

It’s worth noting that as long as the technology is out there and you can use it without punishment, nobody is safe. You can refuse to post to X, The Everything App but it will just get aggregated and fed to the harassment robot. You can’t escape it.
