this gets a probationary 👍 from me until i hear what we traded

Anthony Edwards on Mike Conley: “I keep hearing he can come back, so hopefully he will and I hope he see this. We want you back, Mike. He know we miss him.”

ANYTHING IS POSSIBBBBLLLLEEEEEE

ingles put a little sauce on that inbound

man naz is so crazy. the difference between who he is now and the player the wolves drafted is fucking insane

I think one thing people outside Minnesota don't understand is that after Good and Pretti were killed by feds while observing, the most normal people you could imagine have made peace with the fact that they could be next, and they are still out there because they say it's the right thing to do.

Ms. 45 (1981): Almost a proto-Falling Down (1983) in its weirdly stereotyped violence (arrogant yuppie photographer, violent black pimp, entitled saudi sheik, etc.) but quasi-feminist? Oozing with style. Often repetitive even at 80 minutes, it at least gets to the point. I'd watch another Ferrara

Kyle Kuzma welcome to minnesota

i regret to inform you that the wolves have cursed themselves. they are no longer looked upon with favor by The Lord

Harrowing News: I'm older than John Carroll Lynch is in Fargo (1996)

Its a shame that Jamal Murray made the all-star game, he's destroying his reputation as a big game merchant

there are currently 4 teams in the NBA that are in the top 10 on both offensive rating & defensive rating (via Cleaning The Glass): OKC (4th in O Rating, 1st in D Rating, 1st in Net Rating) Houston (5th O, 3rd D, 3rd Net) Minnesota (6th O, 4th D, 5th Net) San Antonio (9th O, 5th D, 7th Net) lol

i think that radishes are the most satisfying vegetable to slice

Decision to Leave (2022): Just a pure pleasure to watch. Great detective flick, fantastic noir plotting, affecting romance, really stylish. Boy, it goes down extremely easy. Its probably even a bit too slick and stylized (a la Michael Mann). Needs a bit more grime.

hmmm

Dwight Powell has played 11 season with the mavs despite starting is career in Boston. The only player I can think of with a longer tenure for a second team is Kareem?

i know there is a lot going on but i'd like to update everybody: the timberwolves are on pace to underperform their point differential for the 19th consecutive season

I grabbed a quick photo last night!

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

Unfortunately the wolves are cursed and will not win another game until someone speaks out against ICE or Rudy unfollows RFK on X.

hmmmmm

When i lived in Minneapolis, there was a kid named Dylan who lived on this corner (25th & Bryant) & would put on piano concerts for neighbors in the summer; one of them got posted on Facebook & attracted hundreds of attendees. Its so fucking disgusting to use chemical weapons in a neighborhood park

My two-year-old will tolerate three songs and three sings only: "Jingle Bells", "HOT TO GO!" by Chappell Roan and "Gloria: In Excelsis Deo" by Patti Smith

I strongly agree with take #1 here but probably the best exhibit I've ever seen was this Ellsworth Kelly retrospective at the Pompidou in 2019 where it had all his sketches and variations on "Window, Museum of Modern Art, Paris" (1949)

This all fits within the Brain Coin Framework

Gaming doesn’t count as screen time. Gaming is books. Unless it’s on your phone - that is screen time. Movies are books unless they are Marvel, who produce screen time. Television is screen time.

Analysis like this is why you absolutely gotta subscribe to the Chris Hine newsletter

obviously i don't live in Minnesota but I've been answering plenty of "how's it going" with "actually not great, here's what is happening to my friends and family in Minneapolis." i think most people know about Renee Good but very little else

i think the seven-game wolves/spurs western conference semifinal could heal the nation

maybe a little too much dip on your chip there joan

dear fucking lord this is a great baksetball game

He was working in the paint, late one night When my eyes beheld an eerie sight For my Randle from his jab, began to rise And suddenly to my surprise (He did the dash) He did the bulldog dash! (The bulldog dash) it was a basket smash!

The wolves trade target in this piece is Collin Sexton, but I'm really not sure how the money would work; you would need to send out Rob, Donte + Lenny or Donte + Mike. Both of these trades would leave the wolves with less guard depth than they started with.

They Live (1988): A movie where I don't love every choice but I respect them all. Did they need for 10% of the movie's runtime to be a fist fight on top of a literal pile of garbage? No, but I respect it. Was an affectless Canadian wrestler the right fit for the lead role? No, but I respect it.

Last I heard, this was the guidance on how to report abductions. Monarca: (612)441-2881 CAIR-MN: (612) 206-3360 (24/7) ILCM: (651) 641-1011 (M-Th, 1-3pm) MIRAC: [email protected] DO NOT REPORT ICE SIGHTINGS Just abductuons. And if the person was a protestor or observer, call NLG, (612) 444-2654.

River of Grass (1994): Clearly meant to be a subversion of Badlands (1973) - itself a subversion of Bonnie & Clyde (1967) - but I thought that this also evoked Wanda (1970): a disaffected mother leaving her family to go on the run (i.e. hanging out in motel rooms) with a man she doesn't even like

John Cage, submitting the sheet music for "4'33"" to his publisher: What do you think? Publisher: No notes.

Marty Supreme (2025): I felt about this almost exactly how I felt about Uncut Gems (2019) --- incredible fun but a little overstuffed. Its exciting to watch somebody get out of jam after jam but works better over 100 minutes than 150. Fantastic supporting turns all over, Tyler the Creator rocked.

When you see Gregory Bovino in person

Target Center fan screams “Go home ICE”, Target Center crowd erupts

The French Dispatch of the Liberty, Kansas Evening Sun (2021): I know this isn't novel insight, but Anderson might be too wrapped up in his schtick to make a great movie anymore (a lot like Soderbergh). I thought each subsequent story got a little worse & by the last one I was looking at my watch.

ICE reportedly shot someone at Portland and 33/34. Mspt saying bullets, could be less lethal 20+ agents on site, MPD and ambulances responding. Helicopters overhead

The Beast (2023): 20 minutes into this, I thought it might be one of the best movies I'd ever seen. The opening scene (w/ green screen) & the conversation between McKay & Seydoux at the salon are so so arresting. Then, 2044 stuff... is fine & interesting but not transcendent. The 2014 stuff... hmmmm

The Beast (2023) posits a very compelling vision of hell: every time you try to watch a video online, you are instead shown a clip of harmony korine's Trash Humpers (2009)
