We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

Fortune 500 companies that have contracts with ICE: -Amazon -AT&T -Booz Allen Hamilton -Caci -Charter Communications -Comcast -Dell -Ecolab -FedEx -General Dynamics -L3Harris -Motorola -Thermo Fisher -UPS Know who profits from Trump's cruelty.

The first time Charlie Chaplin spoke onscreen, he implored the people of the world to resist the rising tide of fascism. Nearly 90 years later, it remains a timely message.

Masked government agents are killing people in the streets, abducting people from their homes in the middle of the night, and arresting those who speak out. If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” —George Orwell (1984)

I just had Outback Steakhouse for the first time in 20+ years with my parents. If Foster's is Australian for "beer", then Outback is Australian for "oversalted and overpriced".

I don't advocate crucifying people or feeding them to lions, but if the original Christian cult of the Roman empire was half as annoying as it is today...I get it.

@eofftv.bsky.social I just listened to the Hammer Horror Podcast mailbag episode, and in it, you mention being a fan of prog rock. I'm a big fan of it myself, along with it's sister genre, Jazz Fusion. I'd love to know some of your favs. Here are a few of mine:

a Lord of the Rings cover band called The Mighty Mighty Balrogs.

@sandwichfest.bsky.social What a loss...

How long until this is no longer a choice? #aisucks

People of New Orleans! Do you see ICE agents in action. Report it on Waze as "Icy Conditions." Keep people in the loop.

One of those actors you don't often think of, but when they show up on screen, you're like "Oh cool this guy!". RIP good sir @sandwichfest.bsky.social

"In case all that smiling didn't cheer you up there's one thing that never fails: A nice glass of warm milk, a little nap and a total frontal lobotomy."

@sandwichfest.bsky.social I remember receiving consoles with cockroaches as trade-ins when I worked at EB Games 🤢. We also received a lot of trades that were saturated with cigarette smoke/tar residue.

@sandwichfest.bsky.social RIP to a legend

@sandwichfest.bsky.social Happy Hobbit Day!

@sandwichfest.bsky.social Not gonna lie, I'm a little excited for this...

I know I'm going to like this film, but I'm worried it won't land with general audiences. Anyone who's read Dune Messiah knows the tone of the story is WAY different than the first book and will be jarring for people looking for a "The Continued Adventures of Paul Atreides" type story.

Last day to bid for this copy of Moria! I can sign/annotate/deface if or as desired… https://www.32auctions.com/organizations/128726/auctions/181179/auction_items/6153233

To those surprised that Lindsey Graham, a Baptist, would make fun of the Catholic faith, let me be clear: southern evangelicals don't see Catholics as Christian unless it's politically advantageous for them.

This is Amber, my parents' sassy 10-year-old. She isn't curling her lip, it's just stuck in "sneer" mode, which compliments her personality perfectly 😁 #caturday

#LetterboxdFriday Always a little bit of horror, but some upbeat stuff as well lately. @sandwichfest.bsky.social

Dictators of all stripes hate solidarity. They’d prefer that we cower alone. They want us to feel powerless. This is why I encourage you to participate in the peaceful demonstrations planned for today across America. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/april-5-hands-off-our-healthcare

I knew holding on to my 1000+ POG/slammer collection from the 90s would pay off someday! (Still waiting for the "April Fools" punchline though) @sandwichfest.bsky.social

Happy Tolkien Reading Day! I'm scouring the appendices for lore on Lindon. What are you reading? #tolkien #tolkienreadingday #reading #holiday

Republicans are too chickenshit to hold town halls. Shocker. Here’s an idea: Democrats, hold town halls in Republican districts.

In light of Trump II’s first 18 days of mayhem — including his and Musk’s coup against our system of government — many are asking: “What can I do now?” Here’s a revised and expanded list, in rough order of importance.

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)
