Hanging up my hi-vis, my last patrol was this morning, for me at least the surge is over

Its too bad I didn't go anywhere today becuz my hair looks really good

On today's episode of "Is that sound on the record or is it the washing machine?" The correct answer is: the washing machine

My dad on RL Burnside "sounds like Jimi Hendrix on a bad day" My mother on the Pogues SNL performance "my god his teeth! Look at his teeth!" RIP Shane

Today was first time in almost 3 months I haven't patrolled or given a ride before I went to the office and I legit couldn't remember the route I used to take

When I was 14 I was reading Naked Lunch.

Happy St Patrick's Day, Brits out of Ireland, US out of Minnesota, free Palestine

I’ve just been invited to join the Hormuz Peace Board because I punched a woman in my HOA

Thomas Pynchon cutaway or we riot

I didn't really like Sinners but I loved the ancient to the future performance

My dad taped routinely taped SNL in this era he made me watch the Neil performance, not becuz he liked it but becuz he thought it was bad in the same way stuff I liked was bad

Gonna become an Ideal Copy truther

This admin's approach to war with Iran is the same as their approach in MN, they assume it will be so easy that they have no plan when it isn't

Rarely but sometimes I have the free coffee at work and my reaction is always the same "Christ you people drink this shit?"

Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now

The This American Life episode on ICE and the government’s internal chaos was genuinely a great listen. www.thisamericanlife.org/give-a-littl...

remember when that cronenberg movie 'existenz' came out and it seemed like a fun and silly conceit for there to be freedom fighters taking on corporate conglomerates in an attempt to protect consensus reality from an ocean of digital hallucination

A small thing (& probably weather related as well) but hearing & seeing kids playing on our street for the first time in a long while

SUNDAY IS FOR JESUS

"We Got Adderall From Carl: an oral history of Malachi Constant"

Call me Ishmael, dude

Just a quick update for the curious that given the total amount of purchases, this has now raised at least nearly $65,000 for Letters Charity, and of course possibly more if people pay over the amount. Great to see! A few hours left, who wants to see it get to $100K? Spread the word!

I also just realized Steve did this, then a month later Rid of Me and then a month after that In Utero

Flags should never touch the ground

For @racketmn.com, I wrote about The Gathering for Good, the huge fundraiser Mancini's Char House & Lounge--yes, that one--held two weeks ago for ICE victims in St. Paul's West 7th neighborhood. One of my best, huge thanks to everyone involved. racketmn.com/yes-that-man...

Bluesky has the juice

Being important and popular in New York City means more to Trump than anything in the world, and Mamdani knows it.

I see the future as a kind of planetary suburbia, an infinity of boredom interrupted by unpredictable acts of violence.

In my continued quest to find YouTube videos so obscure they evade the ad algorithm, I give you a complete Red Krayola concert from 1982. As one commenter describes this: “Monochrome Set meets Beefheart meets Flipper meets Pere Ubu?” (Mayo Thompson was in Ubu, so…) www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYcw...

Seems bad!

Happy 30th to a real one

I am not sure which is worse: having to work on my day off due to the Supreme Court ruling or reading the takes of people who became Import Experts 10 minutes ago...yr right it's reading the takes

No line at the sandwich place this AM usually it's Hot Doug's deep by 8:15 so that's something

Hey @jonkrawczynski.bsky.social maybe something to ask Lore & Rodriguez to comment on considering the effect ICE has had locally

Just a big hug to all the anarchists in the Twin Cities who get dismissed all the time but knew exactly what to do when shit went down here.

It ain’t over til Minnesota has ICE’s battle flag

Elliot Payne on MPR right now: I'll believe it when I see it. I'll see you in the streets. We need restitution. Stanning politicians is a mistake. But dammit @elliottpayne.org @jchavezmpls.bsky.social @ilhanmn.bsky.social make it really hard for me to stick to that. They have shown up for us.

They say the surge is over but I'll believe it when I see it. I am never going to forgive this country I am just so utterly ashamed

Rockwell would have painted this.

I was hoping he would have leveraged his lame duck status to fight for us but obviously that was too much to ask

No Kings includes Draft Kings

Green Day has an ancillary guitar player AND a guitar player who is behind the amps?

ICE agents at Jimmy's Bar is so insanely on brand

I almost forgot how much I hate Fridays
