A federal holiday honoring an immigrant who came to this country on a boat and actually did commit crimes

Back in middle school, my best friend had a 45 of The Carpenters’ cover of “Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft“. When played at 33 rpm it was kind of terrifying.

I've thought a lot about the scene in A Clockwork Orange where Alex finds out that the droogs he used to rampage with are now policemen

“I’m going shopping. What do you want for dinner?” “Steak?” “Money’s too tight for steak.” <pause> “Steak?”

Guys, US per capita carbon emissions are down 30% from peak! 30%! We’re doing it! All the little steps (and big) are paying off! 🚉⚡️☀️💨🚲🌳🚶🌱🌎

This is cool, but if I lived here I would spend all my time trying to remember where I put that thing.

Rest in peace, Danny Thompson. A mix I made in 2020, selecting from his innumerable amazing contributions to so many favorites: musicophilia.wordpress.com/2020/04/23/t... Featuring Nick Drake, Talk Talk, Kate Bush, Sandy Denny, David Sylvian, Toumani Diabate, Shellyan Orphan...

Worst. Rapture. Ever.

Dessa on the Hewing rooftop Sunday night.

Senators @smith.senate.gov and @amyklobuchar.com, I cannot believe you voted for this bullshit. You should be ashamed. abcnews.go.com/US/senate-pa...

Hey, @mccollum.house.gov, I’m a constituent. How do you justify voting to honor this vile hate monger? #standuporsitdown

As people are scattering, hiding, and camping in new spots every night, they are losing contact with social services including the housing lists almost everyone is (and has been) on a wait-list for. We're also using $$ for phone cards so people can continue to access their basic needs.

I've set a personal goal to watch all 100 films on the 2022 Sound and Vision best movies list. Yesterday I saw number 5, In the Mood for Love. And hey! It was pretty damn amazing. letterboxd.com/sublimeellip...

D, with great enthusiasm.

I went to Home Depot, immediately found what I was looking for, and got out without buying anything I didn't plan to. Please applaud.

Melissa Hortman practiced politics the right way.

We did it, New Mexico! Yesterday we made history as the first state in the nation to guarantee no-cost child care for every family. This is a game-changer for parents, kids, and communities across our state—and a blueprint for the nation. Read more here: sourcenm.com/2025/09/08/n...

And once again I’m begging you to please tell your friend family if/what you are using. Discovering the depth of a secret opioid addiction after someone dies super duper sucks.

Probably the best thing I've ever read about Zevon.

Quote post with a dramatic B&W of you.

I’ve seen just about all of this summer’s big movies, but none of them was more entertaining than the new Peter Dinklage Toxic Avenger.

Happy Labor Day!

I kind of want to see "Caught Stealing" again just to count how many times Austin Butler changes his shirt.

Hey @governorwalz.mn.gov What are you doing here? We're home to @cidrap.bsky.social & @mayoclinic.org & New Mexico beats #Minnesota on #Vaccine access?? C'mon man, wake up & serve the people. Make it so #Vaccines are accessible to people of all ages & risk profiles! #GetVaccinated

I didn't expect to encounter a Salesforce / Alien: Earth collab when I logged in this morning.

Ok, fellow post-punk lovers, I received a request to ID a mystery track, but despite feeling I know the voices, I can't place: vocaroo.com/1F4VZWe57TvW British, playful-arty a la Family Fodder, Lo Yo Yos, Voigt465; Dubby; talk-sung male/sweet female vox; very clean recording (not DIY sounding)...

I dare you to go to Annunciation School and tell our grieving community, in effect, guns don’t kill kids, antidepressants do. Just shut up. Stop peddling bullshit. You should be fired.

Okay, there’s something I need to do every August 24th. I need to tell you to not give up on your mental health, yourself, this world, or hope. My brother Rick should be turning 63 today but he died at age 44 due to depression and other mental health problems. He shouldn’t have. (🧵)

I wanted to try this fitness routine where you alternate walking slowly for three minutes with walking fast for three minutes. But how to keep track of the intervals? 🤔

My wife is a cool artist! voyageminnesota.com/interview/li...

My partner is 5’4” and invariably, at every show, the tallest guy in the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area will stand in front of them.

This is brilliant.

The only crime I see is wasting a perfectly good sandwich.

I saw Highest 2 Lowest last night. Starts out almost walk-out awful, but improves considerably once Denzel Washington and Jeffrey Wright hit the streets of NYC. That's when Spike Lee's love of the city and its people come to the fore. Definitely not a great movie, but I don't regret seeing it.

Gee the cat is awfully focused this morning…
