Modern cars have created an entire generation of kids that don't know how car keys work - LOCK, ACC, ON, START. These mean nothing to people who have only had to push a button to start a car their entire lives. Also people in their 50s knows to subtly push the key in when removing it.

The Archies have dropped out of the White House concert

I have no idea what Fender's goal is with all of these cease and desist letters. Massive PR backlash. All I can say is if I am in the market for a new guitar, it will be NOT a Fender. Sheesh. Also, here is a picture of my 43 year old Telecaster which makes this ... complicated. #fender #telecaster

Jonas Brown of the Low Darts, is ... the Joe Dart of Vulfpeck. Similar energies.

Found the OG post. Kudos to "Guard the Leaf", but this needs to be put out there more: ifloz.substack.com/p/dear-usa-w...

This. All of this. #Pinks #ProudBlue

Look if you've got a better way to run a country than "putting an illiterate octogenarian bigot on TV every few days to free associate and complain, and then everyone tries to figure out if it means we're about to start a war or not" I'd love to hear it. But the constitution says this is it.

Glendalough Irish Whiskey is better than any of the "Spots" Irish Whiskey.

A while back I saw someone post about needing a Snow Shoveling activity on their Apple Watch. I have been using Dance as my shoveling activity. More Sinister Minnesotans should also choose Dance while shoveling. Then Apple will have weird activity data to sift through.

This is a spectacular interview. www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6sb...

Someone needs to invent a garage door opener, that when the battery is replaced, I don’t need to reprogram it. It feels like this should be a solvable problem.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

On a downtown street in Minneapolis, as people stream out from the massive march, Mary Tyler Moore says “fuck ice.”

They are never, ever going to win in Minnesota.

A coworker took this from her apartment. I haven't seen a crowd this size before. Maybe the first Women's March? But it was much much warmer that day. ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA!

RFK's new Food "High"archy ... 1. The Foundation: The "Crunch & Salt" Group - Key Players: Nacho cheese chips, pretzels, microwave popcorn, and those generic crackers you found at the back of the cupboard.

Ex-Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura: “We’re a 3rd world country now. I know. I’ve been to ‘em. I spent 17 months in SE Asia while the draft dodger was playing golf… that’s what happens in a dictatorship. In comes the military. That’s what’s happening here.” 🇺🇸

My favorite scene in The Lord of the Rings is when Treebeard recites the scene from the The Threepenny Opera where Mack the Knife sings about loving the wild, uncultivated forests and Penny prefers to tend to her gardens and then Mack looses track of her. It is very moving.

A long time ago I had a book called "City Wars". Yeah. That seems to be going on now. Not the greatest work of literature but ... sigh. www.goodreads.com/book/show/34...

Any BSG quote is fine my me ...

Billy Gibbons plays an Epiphone. Just spectacular. The guy literally owns one of the greatest guitars on the planet and he plays an Epiphone. A testament both to Epiphone and “it’s not the guitar it’s the guitarist”. youtu.be/kquzknEg294?...

The number of commercial breaks during the TDF stream is absolutely obnoxious. There has to be another way to do this. They do off-stream commercials, and THEN run "The Feed" commercials side-by-side during the stream.

Gopher was the best

My latest guilty pleasure is using AI to better understand music theory and I have to say I have learned a lot about chord voicings and Vince Guaraldi and why certain chord progressions reminded me of the Peanuts theme music.

Which pro cycling races are on which stupid streaming service …

Posting for no other reason that now and again I remember a trip-hop band from yesteryear that makes me happy.

In under 5 mins, Ukraine's ex-FM Kuleba dismantles Russian lies "Russia had to attack Ukraine bc of Ukrainians wanted to join NATO" and "NATO promised no eastward enlargement" with facts & a compelling historical journey. A must-watch. Due to 1-min video limit, sharing this in a 5-part thread. 1/5

One of my all time favorites - they are so good. I know what I am going to be playing now all day today.

This was Austrian Airlines' final post over on the Twitter.

Many commentators say that vigilante groups are never the answer. But they clearly don't know about the masked Ecuadorian trio named “Acción Ortográfica Quito,” who roam the streets at night with a singular purpose: to correct all the spelling and grammar mistakes they find in graffiti.

Chequamegon. 2024. Third year of Hot Dog Handups.

Listening to ZüriWest on Schweizer Nationalfeiertag.

I kind’a want to think the whole Biden pulls back and endorses Kamala was planned. Let the repubs burn all their candles on Brandon. Wait for it … wait for it … now! The timing is somehow absolutely perfect.

Even if I were guilty there was no crime …

I have blocked over 5000 accounts on the Tweeter. Today I blocked my first account over here. The doors are open and the block lists are going to be a thing.

Re: the speaker voting (among other things) - it is as if Republicans fundamentally do not understand how voting actually works.
