Introduce yourself with 5 concerts you’ve seen with WOMEN lead singers: Bjork Jesse Sykes Stereolab Neko Case Cat Power

When anyone from SCTV dies it’s like 30 people have died. Every character they created was as alive as anyone else you’ve ever met.

Never mind the jobs you had, tell me five classes you took in college: 1. Music Engineering 2. French and German Film Studies 3. Lighting Design for Theater 4. Radical Acting 5. Archeology

Who knew that Brett Ratner would be our Leni Riefenstahl.

Catherine O’Hara has always been a presence in my life, even turning up in some of my favorite cartoons as a kid. She just always seemed like she would be there. She was a genius, and having a world, especially now, without her feels so, so wrong.

Any other voice actor just kinda hang out in your booth not recording, to feel like you can get away from *this* for a while?

A retired Minneapolis couple who had guns pointed at them by ICE in a church parking lot. "They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets." "They had the professional demeanor of criminals." ht: @paulgraham.bsky.social

Oh hey! Time for auditions! I'll have a little snack before so my stomach doesn't rumble during the recording! My stomach during a recording:

Yourself, but as a cartoon

Bye bye Bovino! We bid you a frosty farewell Don't let the door hit you on the way out and if it does, let it smack you straight to hell!

People of Maine, how can the rest of the country help you stand up the way MN successfully did?

I'm 6'1", but up in the PNW, I feel very small. I have lots of photos of me at concerts standing next to dudes who are GIANTS. They make 'em tall out here!

Amidst all the horrors, today I am also thinking of Minnesota resident Philando Castile, shot and killed in his car by police, in front of his girlfriend and child. His last moments were live-streamed on Facebook.

Needless to say that Renee Good and Alex Pretti will go down as heroes here in Minnesota and nationally, their names synonymous with sacrifice and caring for vulnerable neighbors even at the risk of your own life. And hopefully no more innocent lives are lost.

These clowns just cannot conceive of someone standing up, even sacrificing their lives, for their neighbors, let alone friends and family.

@kenwhite.bsky.social A dear friend of mine has adopted children from another country, & recently posted this. I know you’re a big city lawyer, so this is probably known, but thought I would share anyway. www.thetiesprogram.com/the-ties-pro...

I need to stop wading into the comments. Seeing so many people lack the ability to understand people helping their neighbors, standing up for what’s right. I get so angry, but I realize I’m just sad these folks lead such empty, fearful lives. Minneapolis is the best of us.

“Fascists love to tell us that their numbers are great, and we have to deal with them. But our numbers are also great, and they have to deal with us. They want us to think we have a them problem, and we do. But we should not forget to give them an us problem.” www.the-reframe.com/fighting-in-...

Remember the other day when I was saluting my friend Greg Ketter, owner of Minneapolis’ DreamHaven Books? This is him the following day. Greg will never say this, so I will — now is a great time to buy books from DreamHaven. Support Americans who stand up vs. 🧊. dreamhavenbooks.com

The family of this deceased veteran allowed this to be shared. It is a video of Alex Pretti reading a final salute to a fallen soldier. This is the man the administration wants to call a terrorist. www.facebook.com/share/r/17rJ...

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

I said this last time but their real position is “if you disagree with us we can kill you.”

The Trump-Vance administration just used your taxes to pay for ICE agents to kill a 37-year-old nurse, who was only there because another ICE agent killed a 37-year-old mother of three, who was only there because ICE agents are kidnapping your neighbors

no matter what trump or anyone in his administration or any republican or any random shit online says happened to alex pretti, we know what we saw. never forget that you KNOW what you fucking saw.

ICE agents shoved a woman on the ground and then executed the guy standing next to her because he tried to help

His last words were, “Are you okay?” Her last words were, “I’m not mad at you.” ICE killed them both.

ICE murdered a nurse today. Worked with veterans.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

Discworld QOTD, from Night Watch "Two types of people laugh at the law: those that break it and those that make it."

We have been told for nearly 30 years that America needed to tolerate mass shootings because the broad availability of guns would help us defend ourselves from an overreaching federal government. That day has come. The people who said this are supporting the federal agents. Many have joined them.

Realizing that I am scrolling and scrolling trying to make sense of the latest horror. Sometimes it is helpful to remember that there is no making sense of the senseless

⬇️⬇️⬇️

Remember, our current administration purposfully posted an AI manipulated video of someone they arrested. Don't trust a damn thing out of their mouths.

You can't really describe this phenomenon without sounding childish. It sucks. They've substituted pettiness for perserverance. And got all the money in the world on their side. These are cheaters who feel it our job is to make them feel better about losers & it's fucking working for them! Till now.

If your rep voted no, call and thank them. If they voted yes... give them HELL.

Our community deserves someone willing to stand up and deliver impactful leadership. And yet Rep. Gluesenkamp Perez, along with 6 other Democrats in the House, just voted through a funding bill that will give ICE billions of dollars with minimal guardrails. 1/6

Call your reps. Tell them to oppose Ice funding. I called mine, actually got a staffer. They knew who I was, which means I'm hopefully being the right kind of pain in the ass. (Respectfully, of course.)

Pick up the nearest book. Turn to page 42, post the 2nd sentence. “Still others watched the erection of scaffolding on tributary streets leading into Albumuth Boulebard.” -“City Of Saints and Madmen” by Jeff Vandermeer

we're getting all the downsides of cyberpunk (social alienation, ruthless hyper capitalism, digital mass surveillance state) but none of the promised upsides (cheap street food, cool jackets, super drugs that make you really fast and strong before they kill you)

Alright just got word the outlet is gunna miss out (big mistake!) so I need to raise about $300 for a flight to Minneapolis (lowest one-way ticket is $275 pretax) zelle: [email protected] paypal: paypal.me/taliajane

The standard for “cultural revolution” according to centrist and right wing commentators is “liberals being loud about their opinions” whereas Trump is making prosecution, regulatory, and funding decisions based on the politics of the speaker but that’s also libs fault for making him mad

Have you ever read Sutter Kane?

Yeah. Check your damn soul and just fight for the right thing.

A lot of us had relationships totally fucked up with our families because of how fox news whipped up all these old whites to get mad about tyranny and death panels and shit. There are grandparents who never met their grandkids because they got so pretend mad about something it turns out they like

"Specificity negates judgment." There's a George Saunders' line(?) that will stick with me for the rest of my life.

to most normal people in america, pride in this country's history looks like, you know, we beat the nazis, we landed on the moon, we invented football, the bill of rights, rock & roll, pecan pie and a side of fries. there's some kind of fashoid psyop about literally all of those

yeah, that seems right. helps explain how goddamn maladroit it all is, the general sense of a midwit trying to be manipulative. like if a kid up his ass in middle school took pains to appear to be reading the dictionary cover-to-cover as if anyone does that, but as government policy
