Minnesotans are showing the soul of the United States to the world.

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

State troopers in riot gear are protecting ICE agents who have long guns. People yelling at the state troopers, “turn around and arrest them! They just killed a Minnesotan!”

It was SO cold but the sense of community was overwhelming. Every corner had people handing out hand warmers, warm drinks, and snacks to protestors. My toes were numb and my lashes were frosty but it's nothing compared to the pain our immigrant neighbors are enduring. MN Strong 💙

What I'm listening to today: "Sarah Belle Reid plays the Buchla Touché" This is something really special—a hyper-rare 1978 synth that lets you fully reprogram it to act like something other than "a piano". Reid hacks it to make something… otherworldly, indescribable www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Vb8...

KENNY ROGERS: hey you got any gambling advice THE GAMBLER: basically if you're gonna gamble it helps to be good at gambling. Also none of it matters for the greatest mercy life offers is parting from it in the peace of slumber KENNY ROGERS: thank you the gambler that's real inspiring

It’s -9 degrees. Downtown Minneapolis is packed for the anti-ICE rally and the crowd keeps growing

The classic Godzilla shriek: UMGYAA.

This must be weird news to see if you’re one of the literally hundreds or even thousands of university administrators who preemptively censored faculty, scrubbed websites, changed the names of centers, etc.

Me: This monster house in this 99 floor dungeon in Shiren 2 is already terrible and filled with monsters who can do Bad Things, as expected, but I think my staffs can save me. This fuckin' guy: I am going to kill you in one of the most obscure ways this series has to offer: with a wad of cash. 😭😭😭

shoutout to the gravitational beam emitter from Blame! because I love how it doesn't get much more detail than "gun" but it can shoot across a room the size of rhode island

Living to witness the global disinvestment from human creativity by the capitalist class has been an absolutely depressing sight to behold. Especially as someone who places art (yes, general 'art') among humanity's most divine aptitudes.

I would argue that the case for dismantling ICE has, at this point, virtually nothing to do with larger questions of immigration enforcement and reform, it's just clearly incompatible with a free and democratic society to maintain a secret police force with sweeping and arbitrary authority.

burned out from first two days of weekend, so i spent most of my waking hours today running around in zelda. spent about an hour birdwatching! just a perfect video game...

the perennial "is this a good replacement for twitter / can it become as big as twitter" discussion is so confused. hominids became bipedal about 7 million years ago. for most of the time since we did not have microblogging. it's not a necessity it's a habit, if it all goes away that's fine

I am sorry 'The Last Supper' fans, 22 hours from now, I will take 'The Last Supper' down. I cannot take this anymore.

Jesus: You cannot serve 2 masters. SBC guy: I'll be a pastor & ICE field director! 🤦😡

Activists interrupted the service of a Southern Baptist church in St. Paul, MN, today to protest that one of the pastors is the acting director of the nearby ICE field office: publicwitness.wordandway.org/p/protesters...

Johfra Bosschart ‘The Golden City’ 1963

Writing something about the new edition of The Thing Artbook, and I've finally traced the uncredited artist for the cover of the Bantam novelisation. It's Jim Burns. Rather vague where the film is concerned but it's still the best of the novelisation covers.

not sure if there are any readers using fable, but my sis got me into it for this year since goodreads has been hit and miss for me: fable.co/fabler/zach-...

biggest difference between the hobbit and lotr so far for me has been that in lotr tolkien seems a lot less interested in immediately subjecting the ponies to violence. so many great asides in lotr.

you know this guy is a FOR REAL photographer because he's telling the story of his brutal, unconditional arrest by federal goons and can't help but slip in a gear review

i think elrond, elf-friend, would get all of this sorted out

Bouie keeps getting slammed for these sensible and sober minded Takes because there are people who've come to see anything short of maximal Doomerism as somehow complacency - you're saying I *shouldn't* feel maximally bad!??? Yet it is obvious on reflection that maximal doomerism breeds complacency.
