I’m so agitated… www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGrr...

I truly fucked up not doing my due diligence on Platner before offering high praise for his communication skills. Enough was out there at the time that I should have been more cautious. Especially because I met adventurer dudes like him reporting in Iraq. Deep respect to all who got it right. 1/2

Count me in the camp that was very 'meh' on Nolan's The Odyssey until this morning when I realized Samantha Morton is playing Circe and now I am much more intrigued

Julian Lage & Joel Paterson together with Bob Dylan tonight

Just rewatched Mulholland Drive and this tweet was in my head

“.. Members of the group Patriot Front ride the metro on the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence in Washington, D.C.” @reuters.com

I used to share this every 4th of July not becuz I ever feel patriotic but cuz this only vers of this terrible song that captures the greatness & awfulness of this country...this yr I feel worse abt this place then I ever have before I've been trying to find the hope but its hard #fuckice

This is real right?

TUESDAY

Far be it for me to disparage anyone else's ability to draw but lord I've played to bigger crowds at soundcheck

Mark E. Smith, circa 2012, singing into (or via) a sheet of A4.

Working for a German company and having Ecuadorian neighbors means I have world cup fever whether I want it or not

My community is full of wonderful people from Somalia (and many other African nations.) I see them everyday, playing basketball, at Aldi, eating at McDonald's, at our public school, and doing the same things everyone else is doing. If that's not assimilation, I'm not sure what is.

Who are these Marines recruitment ads on tumblr for?

Congrats & solidarty with @bradlander.bsky.social who came out to the literal front lines in Mpls in Jan

Rode passed two white people loudly stating "today isn't a holiday!" in the empty post office parking lot Happy Juneteenth!!

THURSDAY

Even tangential support of today’s GOP is some nazi shit. Like Democratic senators smiling & posing with Republican senators the other day in seersucker suits is unforgivable monster shit.

Keep refreshing to see if I'm getting charged with a federal crime

“Scots discovering tailgating” could be a real Prometheus stealing fire moment

Congraulations to Zohran Mamdani @mayor.nyc.gov mayor for life

So this is just how it is now huh?

Had to do some digging in the garage

We had an all-ages record release/meat raffle at the Dinkytowner

My 11 yr old has a smartwatch that she can text/call me with every text I send her she responds with a voice note: "ok" I have like 30 "ok" voice notes.

tell them there’s a sex criminal in the building

Aren't you glad to be in America? RIP James Blood Ulmer

RIP James "Blood" Ulmer, guitarist who melded Hendrix, funk and free jazz w/Ornette, the Decoding Society and Music Revelation Ensemble, later went into bone-marrow acoustic blues--fabulous in any context. A true original. Check out Captain Black + Birthright first among LPs under his own name.

The article about Bari Weiss destroying 60 Minutes is infuriating yes, but I dunno, this seems unhealthy too. A media that believes it’s always good and commendable to present two-sides to everything is one that can’t accurately tell a story about something like the ICE invasion of Minneapolis

RIP Steve Almaas of Mpls's first and only real rock'n'roll band the Suicide Commandos

Wait,what? How? Why? My memory of Satrapi is when she came to The Boston Globe while promoting the movie version of Persepolis. Lit up a cigarette. Someone said “You can’t smoke here.” She said “Don’t be ridiculous” and proceeded to chain-smoke throughout the entire visit. RIP to a real one.

I try to find a next-morning Olivia Miles highlight montage from any Lynx game I'm not able to watch live. I'm almost always giggling and shaking my head within 30 seconds.

Arrest. Prosecute. Abolish.

There is something bone chilling about Ian Curtis singing "sucking on my ding-dong"

I really reject the notion of a canon of artistic documents or the idea that there are certain albums people must hear or own but to me at least "East Broadway Rundown" is one of those few perfect records that can maybe speak to everyone...RIP Sonny

Butlerian Jihad let's go

"Say Paul uh...Paul?...*stares directly into camera* Grogu."

Killing of a Chinese Grogu

I saw probably multiple shows every week from 97-2017 and everyday of my life since I have been trying to forget all the terrible bands I saw

Highly recommend Alan Arnold's "Once Upon a Galaxy: the Making of ESB" for a great overview of all the chaos in making it

We don't talk enough about the first take of "Frankie Teardrop" where the CIA hires Frankie to kill an alien at an offtrack betting parlor

Grogu is in emergency surgery after having swallowed a chicken bone he found on the sidewalk. Calls for him to “drop it” and “spit it out” went unheeded. Grogu is unlikely to survive.

We only played the Mainroom a few times so I am pretty sure Conrad only had to yell at me once, it will be so weird being in that room without seeing him

If you see this post your getaway vehicle

if the guitarist looks like nancy you're gonna die in that pit
