Feel like the fact he was from Wisconsin probably plays into this as much as the condemnation and censure.

Take that, em dash haters.

Got to boo Angie Craig at Farm Aid.

Jesse Welles is the Andy Borowitz of folk rock

I'll be at Farm Aid all day/night. If you see me give me a holler.

You have 5 more days to see Yi Yi at the Main. Lucky you! (I went tonight.)

glanced at CrimeWatch comments on FB and they are SO mad at "Keith Ellingson"

millennial-zoomer peace talks with @ettingermentum.bsky.social getting to the bottom of why he was able to tell immediately that tyler robinson was not a groyper while people my age assumed he was

This is funniest possible headline for a song literally called "Song for Bob Dylan"

a sentence I think about a lot

If you work in online media at all, you know this is not how readers tends to communicate with you. Racket readers are the best.

and here's my Rilo Kiley review again, for the daytime crew

saw Rilo Kiley the other night and of course I had thoughts

show us what you got, St. Paul

this is always kind of a dumb thing to say but if the first Madonna album was released today people would lose their damn minds

America.... it's time to bring him back.

People who say Ice Spice can't be forgiven because they attacked a peasant are the same people who simp for these folks.

This has become the only way to get a Racket hoodie. (We sold out, but the prizes remain.)

Rilo Kiley? Good band.

this sombr record is RIYL "oh, all kinds of music"

Something I want to note about doorknocking: it is more like selling Girl Scout cookies than like selling vacuum cleaners, by which I mean, it's kind of terrifying at first but mostly you are offering something people WANT. (Information about candidates! People WANT this.)

I simply do not need to know this many comedians, and I will not

I love so many of these John & Faith Hubley films with all my heart. I used to have to go to marathon retrospectives to see them. For the next two weeks, you can still see them on the Criterion Channel. www.criterionchannel.com/six-films-by...

I saw The Sound of Music for the first time (I know) at AMC today and there was a 90-year-old woman with all her daughters because it had been the first movie that each of them had seen

I had no idea that the phrase “Back to the old drawing board” comes from this Peter Arno cartoon from March 1st 1941’s New Yorker. It’s rather splendid to be able to date the birth of what would become part of everyday speech with such precision.

sorry, had all the thoughts about c****** k*** I intend to have, moving on

I'm sorry this is hilarious

I refuse to deplore "political violence" when it is made so explicit that it is the adjective, not the noun, that troubles the people so openly weeping and rending their garments right now. Either we all have a ticket in the Victim of Gun Violence Lotto or none of us do.

so her landlord "cancelled" her for not paying rent?

The Downtown Star Tribune

haven't we been through enough

I believe Mayor McCheese had to authorize the lowering of the McDonald's flag

Just for fun, I'm going to give you some clips of the hate mail I got from being placed on Kirk's TPUSA Dangerous Professor list. Buckle up:

Everyone is out of their goddam mind.

Don Samuels wrote a whole ode to Charlie Kirk lol. Charlie Kirk’s death is a sad day for the Minneapolis Moderates.

Tim Pawlenty in the CNN studio tonight on the panel saying he did research today on political violence using “AI chat bots”.

Trump did NOT order all flags to fly at half-staff after the Minnesota House speaker was assassinated
