Last time the Patriots and Seahawks played in the Super Bowl, I nearly won a NFL Blitz tournament at The Baxter in Chapel Hill. We made the finals basically on a similar play as the Malcolm Butler play, but our opponents were using the Cowboys. Anyways I should go to a barcade again.

This just reminded me of one of the underrated Tweets of Twitter.

Me, with the Patriots back in the Super Bowl

The Patriots and Drake Maye are headed to the Super Bowl.

The altnps account is the 13th most followed account on Bluesky and has more followers than every single news outlet other than the NYT, NPR and Meidas Touch on here. They actively spread misinformation and exploit gullible old people for cash. Accounts this unethical do not deserve to exist.

CHRISTIAN GONZALEZ!!!

If this game comes down to punting, Jarrett Stidham is going to start a Super Bowl.

Those computer hash lines are bright.

Me, for the entire 4th Quarter

Go Pats and Bakemas! Defeat the Anime Horse Girls and the people of Colorado at football!

No one has been righter on the political impact of Trump’s immigration terror campaign than Elliott. When know-it-all pundits were demanding Dems shut up about Kilmar Abrego Garcia, he pushed back with hard data and has been utterly vindicated every day since. Dems need to listen to Elliott.

I like that these first two episodes of SNL in 2026 have leaned into the host's strengths and/or how happy they are to be here. Both Finn Wolfhard and Teyana Taylor have legitimate fun hosting, which isn't always the case.

Ashley Padilla is giving off some heavy Tim Robinson energy in this sketch.

This is the most discussion of the Denver Broncos we may ever see on a comedy series, even more than when Homer owned them.

The SNL One Battle After Another playset sketch was outstanding.

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."

He wouldn't have won the Oscar (this was the same year as Robert De Niro as Vito Corleone), but Harvey Korman as Hedley Lamarr is one of the great performances of the 1970s (as are pretty much all of the performances in Blazing Saddles).

It is like a knife in my heart when I see what these thugs are doing to decent and loving people. He was trying to help a woman who had been violently pushed to the ground. And paid for that with his life, murdered by violent and vicious criminals masquerading as law-enforcement.

A plethora of Minnesota mutual aid projects to support if you are looking to do something concrete tonight:

Last night, I was assaulted by a man at Sundance Festival who told me that Trump was going to deport me before he punched me in the face. He was heard screaming racist remarks as he drunkenly ran off. The individual was arrested and I am okay. variety.com/2026/film/ne...

“.. He cared about people deeply ..,” said Michael Pretti, Alex’s father. “He thought it was terrible, you know, kidnapping children, just grabbing people off the street. He cared about those people, and he knew it was wrong ..” @washingtonpost.com www.washingtonpost.com/national/202...

A nurse. A researcher. A helper.

Multiple officials of the US federal government are spending their day rather blatantly obstructing Minnesota law enforcement and covering up a murder.

Nonviolence is, in fact, working. This administration is weaker than it was a year ago. More and more of the public is becoming galvanized against it; its agents are being impeded.

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

The AFC North isn’t a real division.

30 Rock, though I’m willing to assume a few other characters are supernatural/sci-fi (Dotcom, Dennis Duffy, Bianca, Dr. Leo Spaceman, D’Fwan).

Tomorrow's front page of the Minnesota Star Tribune: Jan. 24, 2026

It's very cold across most of the country, so to counteract that, quote-post a favorite photo from a summertime baseball game. Pokémon Go Night at Nationals Park, August 2025, and a few weeks later against the Mets when Tyler Rogers came in

I'm watching basketball on Prime, and the commercials are running the Masters of the Universe trailer in full, and now I'm wondering whether we get the truly great characters, like Orko, Stinkor (whose action figure was literally doused in musk), and Man-E-Faces (who had many faces).

Like many across the Jim Crow South, my father paid a poll tax to register to vote. He kept this receipt in his Bible as a reminder of the price he had to pay to exercise the sacred right to vote. The 24th Amendment, ratified 62 years ago today, ended the use of poll taxes in federal elections.

in case you're curious about how angry Minnesota is about ICE, it was -20 today

Minnesota is the best of us.

"At the rate things are going today, we should be far less worried about what foreign governments could do with our social-media information than about how our own government might abuse it" @davekarpf.bsky.social (9/24/25)

Charlotte and UMass out here maligning the Atlantic 10 despite the conference not offering football and both having left the conference.

kelty comic this week about to make the onion store a zillion dollars

If you need to feel slightly better for a moment just remember that they have to do this because nobody believes them and they know it. If anyone believed them, this press conference and this BS story don't happen. They're doing this because they're weak, as a desperate effort to look strong.

The Tysons Wegmans yesterday was wild, but not this wild. Milk was gone, salad was gone, and bread was close, but I managed to get the important things (beer, those pricey crackers, another frozen pizza)

It’s -9 degrees. Downtown Minneapolis is packed for the anti-ICE rally and the crowd keeps growing

i have a tremendous number of questions about what the Americans of 1939 were doing with iced tea

This held up well.

I spent more time thinking about the implications of the Red Sox trading Tristan Grey than whatever this is.

A very much recent one is the climax of One Battle After Another. One of the Top 2 most iconic movie scenes in film this year (the other, of course, is the "I Lied to You" sequence in Sinners).
