This battle between Wemby and Ant is exactly what my soul needed. Now we just need the wolves to pull off the upset.

"No, Mr. Walz, I expect you to die."

Fellow Russian bots, repost with an obscure proof of life in MN This is tiny me from the late 80s in the good ol' Metrodome sitting behind someone with a super mullet.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Sometimes I forget how cool my kids are, and then they walk into the kitchen like this. No notes.

Wait..... wait.... was the whole Venezuela thing just a temper tantrum to get the Nobel Peace Prize that he thought he "earned"? I joke but.... I mean.... it does seem unfortunately plausible in this utterly fucked timeline we're in. www.cnbc.com/2026/01/16/t...

This is the most Minnesota energy ever. I love it. #FuckICE

hot take: racist white people from bumfucknowhere shouldn’t get cover stories in which they just regurgitate fox talking points about things they have no concept of because they live in bumfucknowhere

this is called invasion and occupation

this is Minnesotan for "I am mad enough to bite through rebar"

Asking the ICE agent beating a guy up on the pavement to hold still so I can scan his QR code that he was required to wear instead of a badge that can simply be read

This sort of is a "well, duh" article for me, but I think that's only because I've noticed for YEARS that my emotional health is so tightly tied to exercise. It's like daily meditation for me; if I don't work out on a given day, I know I'll be more down and "off". www.npr.org/2026/01/12/n...

Been trying to distract myself from all the cruelty and stupid that's all around us, so I built some stuff with legos. Like a child.

assaulted and arrested for simply going to the doctors. fuck anyone too cowardly to say ice needs to be abolished.

This Wolves comeback win was the small sliver of happiness I needed when everything else here in Minneapolis is tense, shitty, and flavored with too much fascist undertones.

Kiddo was looking for a distraction this weekend so of course Minecraft's servers are down both yesterday and today. Fuck ICE.

Slightly diminish a band. Beastie Toddlers

My energy today.

A graphic for our friends in Minnesota.

As much as I love watching the Wolves, I'd totally support them refusing to play until every last ICE dipshit left the state. Even if it lasts to the end of the season. Wild too. Take a stand by taking a seat on the sidelines. www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/j...

The amount of chaos, destruction, death, angst, and general bullshittery is just mind boggling. There is no amount of "good" that they could possibly do to offset their evil. Fuck ICE. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Fuck. ICE. And anyone who supports their gestapo bullshit mayhem. Or is silent about what a cancer on our state, society, and country they are. Masked goddamn kidnappers, bandits, and murderers.

Gonna turn this into a GIF and have it become the most used reaction in basically all of my text threads.

Mark "Mad Dog" Madsen. I remember the sparse crowds in the Target Center going absolutely bonkers if/when he managed to make his way into a game. Also of note, he matched with a friend of mine on a dating website and after they went out she noted he was kind of boring. Which... totally tracks.

these guys want young men to stay lonely and angry and isolated and alone because it makes them easier to control and so many fall for this obvious trap because being told “you don’t have to do anything” sounds easier than having to work

I hit 37 books read last year (yay!). It's now 2026, so let's see if I can match or exceed that total. Follow this thread to keep up on what I'm reading.

Just spent 20 minutes trying to coax Copilot into doing some manipulations in Excel and the results were worse than if I let my 3yo press random buttons on the keyboard. Absolutely dumb as shit, puts data in wrong sheets, misinterprets guidance (regardless of how specific I am), and untrustworthy.

No that is NOT why. She is a useless politician who has never spent a dime of political capital in her entire career. Oh - and she has zero charisma, and the people who know her the best hate her the most.

So when can you start

So this means another country could send special forces in the middle of the night to kidnap our President right? Just putting it out there…

Kids wanted me to decorate cookies with them. After my first one they decided I should be done....

Let's see...how do I cash in on this influx of new Bluesky users to amass more followers? I'm fun. I like books. And the Timberwolves. Cats are cool. Billionaires shouldn't exist. I go to the gym. Ultimate frisbee! I have kids. They rock. So....follow me?

I mean... why stop at nicotine? Instead of fancy coffee machines that make lattes and mochas and whatever, have mini-pharmacies that dispense your drug of choice? Nicotine! Caffeine! Adderall! Amphetamines! Gotta love how dystopian tech has gotten... tech.slashdot.org/story/25/12/...

2025 is done. I managed to get through 37 books! Not bad, and way more than I expected I'd have time to read. Had some really great books I came across (especially the Bobiverse series and Hail Mary), but also a fair amount of meh or clunkers, which was unfortunate. Here's to more in 2026! #booksky

I'm a bit baffled by how much hate this got. (Jared Leto being a creepy weirdo noted). The vibe was cool, the plot just dumb enough, the action decent, and overall a decently fun time. And if you liked the past Trons, this is a slam dunk. I dunno, I enjoyed myself. trakt.tv/movies/tron-...

Happy new year from me and the big kiddo!

Well, we made it through the year. Here's to hoping next year is a little less fraught with drama than this year was. 😅

My 8yo noticed one of our cats was being very ginger with one of his paws... 8yo: What should we do? What do you think happened? Can I give him a treat? Me: A treat would be nice. 3yo: Maybe he's dying. Me & 8yo: What? 3yo: Maybe. He's. DYING!

Ruin two bands by combining them: MC5 Finger Death Punch UnEarth, Wind, and Fire Florence + The Machine Head Comeback Kid Cudi MF Doomtree (actually...this would friggin' slap)

Ruin two bands by combining them: Buck-O-Nine Inch Nails

As we're stuck snowed in, thinking back to when we actually did leave the house to go listen to LOTR and GoT by candlelight.

Happy Boxing Day to all those who celebrate!!

Happy having to work the day after xmas because your company doesn't just give you the day off day, for those who celebrate.

Happy holidays...or whatever.

Hey NFL... Xmas is for the NBA. No one wants to log into dumbass streaming services to watch garbage football.

I know it's not quite Jan 1 yet, but going to try to put a line in the sand here today. After a couple months of lifting heavy & not pushing it too hard in the gym (and an awful diet on top), I'm at my heaviest in the last few years. Time to lock in, focus, and cut some weight before spring arrives.

My ideal xmas gift is nothing flashy or expensive. I just want some peaceful time with no work commitments, no family obligations, no chores, no holiday induced angst... simply time to relax with the cats, kids, and spouse (and maybe some alone time for good measure). That's it.
