Gotta ban Ring at the local level if possible lol the surveillance state apparatus expanding to…find your missing dog? Yeah ok

Samiya, 17, led her Los Angeles high school's walkout. "The White House has a TikTok account, and they’ll post things like 'deportation ASMR'. You go on YouTube the night before school, and you watch an ad of Kristi Noem threatening everybody who has ever come to this country. It’s frightening."

me: lots to think about and plan through on the last few days of tracking. better make a list and think through it my brain: copy that. what if 'bulls on parade' was in 12/8 and sounded like 'everybody wants to rule the world' me: my brain: dah-da-duh, dah-da-duh, dah-da-duh, dah-da-duh,

i do kinda love that they can't seem to do better than kid rock

every single "principled libertarian" put on the red hat in 2016 and i don't think we should let them take it off and pretend like they're real intellectuals again now that he's unpopular

Next time somebody tries to get me to justify the existence of the humanities, I’ll just point out how for the past two Super Bowls we’ve all jumped online and engaged in collective semiotics and hermeneutics of the half-time show as text.

Five years ago I caught my dumbest ban

i think a lot about how much anyone in favor of ai art/writing/music replaces the profit motive for the real value: human connection, a thing ai fundamentally cannot do

When you see unhoused people asking for money what you should see is a fracturing of the social contract where an issue (housing) that should be addressed on a municipal or statuary level is instead foisted on individuals in a way designed o put callouses on their souls

We’re already there

There are so very many things that are fucked up about how things are in Minnesota right now and it is hard to tell what the outside world knows about. The street blockades may seem odd . . . if you haven't seen the way ICE & CBP drive.

I was asked to check this, the journal uses a Rail Fence Cipher, so you read each line up and down, left to right. The deciphered text in the article below is accurate, and names names. The file itself can be found here: www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

man I’m sorry to be all corny here but when I see a “the city is beautiful! There’s more to it than homeless people!” I gotta say you know who’s also beautiful? People who have no place to live & are trying to get by in a system that has turned its back on them & if you don’t see that that’s on you

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

I just learned about something called recency bias. It's my favorite thing ever.

Sat down last night and wrote a bit about red hats, resistance, and Norwegian identity. paper-tiger.net/2026/02/06/o...

Doing art badly is good and sacred

ICE has drones up most nights here (45min south of Minneapolis) and in the town 30 min south of here. Nobody knows what they’re doing with them, but it’s giving everybody the fuckin’ creeps.

it's not just that Mamdani is charming af (he is), it's that he is normalizing the idea that children are full members of society that we all share a collective responsibility for

I walk thru the mall a lot lately (don’t ask) and I just saw some bonafide mall goths. had to stop myself from clapping for them like troops in the airport

Today, you can pre-order the new Fur Trader album called "Amen, Pioneer" out April 3rd‼️wow

hi bsky :) our van kinda died so we’re selling some shirts today only. ✌️ equipment.bandcamp.com/merch

had a dream where the blue nile was a fearsome louisville post rock band, but still very much with the damp, dreamy melancholy that so defines them in our reality

i truly, sincerely fear for texas this summer

the new ratboys record is out today. i’m so thrilled everyone finally gets to hear it. enjoy it, soak it in. you’re not alone

The new Ratboys joint is easily my favorite album of the year thus far, and I had a great time talking to Julia Steiner about every song on the record.

this is where i recorded and mixed the record and all the equipment i used

We finally understand what we are seeing... forever shocked no longer surprised. Today's cartoon... www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

it could be like this, for the whole nation

Rainier Beach educators and community members are asking folks to continue to be present at the corner of Rainier and Henderson from 3:30-5 (around school dismissal time). Show up if you can!

this regime is unrelentingly evil

periodic reminder that your creative and artistic work has ripple effects beyond your field of view, and that it's good for your soul and happiness, and yes that's important. please keep going, keep making and sharing, especially when it's grim. don't ever stop, we need you

these conditions are horrifying. this is an amazing story of community organizing strategy and commitment, as well as another example of the criminalization of mutual aid @lataco.bsky.social

God, we’re so lucky to live in an era when Ratboys are making music

a life of recording studio work is a life of infrequent off days. with goals like ‘today i would like to eat a meal at a table’

It's not even a matter of moderation, liberalism, or whatnot here in 2026. It's a simple matter of perceptional acuity, even if this test is one many Dem pols seem to fail: *Do you know what time it is?* Spanberger appears to know what time it is, and appears to govern her choices accordingly.

banking is so stupid lol it should be illegal

"Antifa" is a designated terrorist group btw

Swear to god, ICE could just announce they're leaving a city but not leave and the media will just stop covering that city completely even though ICE never left. It's what ICE and the media did with LA and they're doing it with Minneapolis too

The idea that the only way to discuss issues that are killing people in real time is through a lens of cool analysis is an indication of just how far apart the people having the debate and the people being affected are meant to be

Ratboys did it again! One of the best rock bands of the moment just keep getting better. I wrote about their latest for @treblezine.bsky.social

Ratboys are putting out a (great!) album Friday, so I did my duty and asked the band about a new promotional sandwich they collaborated on with TJ’s in Avondale.
