This is worth the quick read. RIP Alamo.

Just attended a funeral for a 20 year old man that committed suicide. You are seen. You are loved. The world is a wild place right now, but ask for help. People want you around, and there are resources to help. Call 988 Text 741741

Did you wish @atarifan2600.bsky.social a happy birthday yet?

Happy Friday to everyone except whoever put this on my desk

Love that I got to proctor the extra time version of the ACT so I could spend the entire day actively monitoring and also actively ruminating on impending doom.💫

Katie Chin has a one-woman show (she performed it at Minnesota History Center a couple months ago, and at Theatre Mu a couple years before that) and in it, she tells the story of her mom inventing them (back before LeeAnn Chin became a corporate chain).

Yo St. Paul etc how are the roads this am?

Tom Morello’s solo on 41 Shots 🔥🔥🔥

This was the best Bruce Springsteen show I've ever seen. Here's my review:

Every time I heard Bruce do something particularly beautiful, I would involuntarily look across the arena to make sure @solace.bsky.social was filming.

Holy cats these people are fast

Nils Lofgren and Tom Morello trading the solo on Purple rain, that’s all it takes to fix me for a minute or two.

Happy Seeing Bruce For The Third Time In Two Months Day to those who celebrate

Can’t tell you how many bands I listened to for the first time based on me seeing their tshirts in the Burning Airlines catalog.

wouldn't it be funny if EVERYONE blocked this Attie AI account @ bsky.app/profile/atti... before they could do anything with it

I think they should have had Brass Solidarity onstage the whole time to cut off speeches once they reached two minutes.

Which one of you made this sign necessary

Not me getting trapped in 6 square blocks of The Lowdown filming. Just trying to follow the Google Maps, folks, I promise

This here Tulsa bookstore looks a lot more open than the last time I was here…but still closed. How does this guy ever sell any books?

I drove 10 hours today.

This is what I think of when I read the phrase “leave a future”

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MADDER (90s edition)

One summer we took our kids from MN to Yellowstone down to SoCal then the whole way back to IL on Rte 66. Then we didn’t want it to end so we drove to Madison before heading home.

Clearance pricing on this little guy at the Woodbury MN Petco. Somebody go get this cutie pie!

Day included ✅ vegan burgers at Francis ✅ records from a place where the sign outside just says “Old Stuff” ✅ seeing @normcharlatan.bsky.social out on the road

The whole ICE storyline on The Pitt is triggering as hell

I never turn down an opportunity to bring attention to this sign

Dune-ie Darko

I KNOW HIM!

Yeah, so if you go to covidtests (dot) gov these days, it’s an official White House site about lab leaks. 🙄 I am not linking it because 1️⃣ they don’t need the clicks and 2️⃣ no one needs the disinformation.

Three words: OLD DUTCH FACTORY

This, and our local Gillyweeds scandal, have made this day extra special over here.

So, what would happen if one were to accidentally swallow their permanent retainer? Absolutely not asking for anyone I might know or be related to.

BAN-SKY

Snow days mean I still have to work, but instead of a building full of kids, I just have one furry kid.

Folk/Americana only really hit for me in the last few years. It is no coincidence that it has happened as creative endeavors of all kinds are being strangled by AI.

For love of all that is holy please please please let it all just be messy enough for my school to call a snow day tomorrow

Hey, @jasonnarducy.bsky.social our local meteorologist is worried about y’all…

The writers of The Pitt are really stretching my ability to suspend disbelief with this whole “Mel’s got a deposition on the 4th of July” bit.

Sounds like indoor recess out there. 🫠

Silence would have been one thing. Target purposefully and loudly retracted DEI initiatives. And to say “well they committed to racism so they need to keep going with it” is something I can’t get behind.

This headline is still up on their insta page

Turn my back on Jimmy for one goddamn minute, and… You know what? I don’t give a shit. This is somebody else’s problem.

“So tell me, who will stand with us?”

Anyone have set times for the Abolish Ice thing at Black Forest today? All I know is Dropkick Murphys at 4.

I’m “I used to see bands at the Guthrie” years old

@missmargoprice.bsky.social at First Avenue tonight 💕

Me every time I see that guy from Rooney pop up on The Pitt

I met a bunch of my college-aged kids friends when they stopped by the house tonight. One of them took a look at all my toys and posters in the basement and said to another, “This explains a lot.”
