Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.

This is my blood

Will the pieces of ourselves that we've lost over the years be waiting for us on the other side?

A friend in Minneapolis just sent me this video. Looks like thousands have come together for a vigil after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. This was my neighborhood for several years before coming to Portland.

Any one of us could be shot or kidnapped because an ICE agent doesn’t like the look of us. Are you prepared to be murdered in cold blood while “news” sources repeat the claim you were “weaponizing your vehicle” trying to leave your driveway? They want you to accept that. They want to make it normal

Wearing sunglasses indoors kind of day

Throwing snowballs and chunks of ice at Standing Armies, kept among us, in times of peace, without the Consent of our legislatures — an American tradition.

CNN: You're seeing people really trailing these law enforcement vehicles and throwing snowballs…

"you can't kill us all" fuck yeah minneapolis

Absolutely horrific details about an ICE shooting in Minneapolis. A witness says a woman was trying to drive away from an ICE operation and the ICE agent "reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times." Bovino was there. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Heavy dread. A realization that creates a sick feeling in my stomach and drains the color from my lips. Oh my God.

Dozens of feds, large MPD response, an observer saying he's a physician and had a gun pointed at him for checking the victim's pulse

Purely as an experiment, in the interest of staying employed, I used meta to create an AI agent yesterday. It did not work. It spit out a chat bubble of nonsense.

Carefully wrapping my thought in tinfoil so I can finish it later

How's it going, co-workers?

a room without music is like a nugget without sauce

Every company these days is like "Oh, you want to buy that basic thing you need? Sure, give me your dental records."

Scully let's split up. I'll interview this beautiful botanist and you go check out the sewer system full of human bones

Trying to connect a VCR to our modern television has been a much more difficult task than I thought. I have somehow ended up with three VCRs, all with a different set of outputs, and one RCA to HDMI adapter I am pretty sure does not work

ROBIN OF SHERWOOD (1984): Michael Praed was The Hooded Man in Richard Carpenter's dark ITV drama, which fully leant into the mythology of the character. Magic, demons, the supernatural, pagan myth, and Robin's Obi Wan Kenobi, Herne the Hunter, all featured. Still the best Robin Hood ever!

they can't use nostalgia to manipulate us if we just let go

"Love was ever the companion of music." - Vasari Santiago Rusiol - A Romance

Write the book you would like to see someone pull from a higgledy piggledy pile in a secondhand shop 63 years after your death and say, "This looks fucking weird. I think I will buy it for Joan."

#BIGJAZZ TOMORROW NIGHT!

today is the loooonngggeeesssttt day 🥱

Email marketing company advertising their services "We bought the tax filing data of millions of people without their knowledge or them giving us permission! Isn't that great?"

I miss when the OS was a self-contained tool rather than an internet service. We had to manually configure the date and time, which was a small trade off in exchange for the independence.

People are trees, but also lakes. We have shallow bits , and deep parts. Maybe language developed in tandem with our understanding of our environment. 🤔

If I can't become a 1960's folk singer with a weird vibrato what I am even doing. What is the point

"It was now deep dusk in the forest, and deepest in that part of it where these two were journeying." - Young Goodman Brown, Nathaniel Hawthorne Art: Woods at Night with Travelers, Joris van der Haagen

Read "Young Goodman Brown" last night and wow. Nathaniel Hawthorne was a fantastic writer. Old news, I'm sure, but real art is like that. Always powerful. www.columbia.edu/itc/english/...

A horror story in two parts

It's ok, somewhere underground a bee is having a nice long winter nap. Probably has one of those cute little caps on, too. In a bed all cuddled up with a miniscule stuffy in the shape of a flower, next to a little side table with a little book about the world's rarest honey, going zzzZZzzzZzz...

As I understand it, most of the economy these days is like Tinkerbell in the stage play version of Peter Pan, in that it relies on the audience faithfully clapping to save it from dying.

Sun is up! Bang a gong Tuesday is ON!

Feeling a little sorry for myself, as a treat
