RIP Rhano Burrell.

Going to vote will happen… a little bit later. 😐

I see that my cats have learned to recognize Churu not just by sight of the package, but by mention of the word too…

Brake Bread Bakery, St Paul

Test lighting the so-so Yayoi Kusama pumpkin. Drill bit wanted to wander when starting the holes, so more uneven than I hoped…

Remembering this costume majesty from last year, which still seems unsurpassed to me.

Jumborg Ace (1973) Episode 42

this has to be coupled with the things that *don’t* count as a scandal: an array of harassment allegations, covering up Covid deaths, staying in a race after losing the primary, etc.

If you see this post a vampire who isn’t Dracula

THE NOBLESSE!

Thinking a lot recently about the outrage over Lizzo playing James Madison's flute

“Halloween cookies are for Halloween.” (Sheru making sure cookies for guests do not get eaten early…)

Why is Apple, Microsoft, Lockheed Martin, Blackstone, Google, OpenAI, Amazon and others financing the destruction of the WH and desecration of the grounds, something that is infuriating to huge chunk of the American population? Do you hate your customers that much?

Returning to my idea of time-machining back to 2006 or so to release a disco edit under the alias Stet Brephens, but realizing that to properly complete the bit, the edited song in question has to be the dumbest piece of crap imaginable, like “Disco Duck” or something.

also, what an image. the president demolishing a portion of a humble people’s house to make room for his royalist monstrosity

Not albums per se, but what occurs most quickly to me: DJ Babu/Kankick - “Warped Mind/Comprehension” mixtape: Different artist on each side, different intentions, but always listened to it like an album. DJ Screw - “June 27th” - Certainly not secret or undervalued to its audience, but still…

Wilhoit’s Law every time…

😞😤😡🤬😡😖😫🫨😵‍💫🥴🤮

If you were “prematurely anti fascist” about this you were a hysterical lib, if you were wrong about it you’re a respectable intellectual with lots of billionaire connections bsky.app/profile/gtco...

I’m only thinking about this article in the content of SCOTUS rehearing the Voting Rights Act case. This is what Republicans say in private. Republicans who are elected. Republicans who serve within their party apparatus. Republicans who work for the Trump administration & work in state government.

Passage of online frog signification from antisemitic pepes all over Twitter prior to Trump I to Portland resistance symbol is a bit weird tbh.

More than that: the absence of *institutional shame* at running these dumbass counterfactuals as if they were a vital contribution to The Discourse.

“Yes they were separated by race but that’s ok, because they were all treated equally” a Roberts Court majority opinion coming soon

Kid the Younger wanted to get a specific kind of stuffy for a friend’s birthday but we weren’t sure where to find them. Me (looking at bsky feed): hey Mischief is having a 10th Birthday! Why don’t we check there? (Not only did we get an excellent doodle, but found *exactly* the thing sought.)

Current employment is heeding Teddy’s impatient meows and hoisting his favorite yarn toy in the air as he leaps after it with abandon. Repeat Until Sufficiently Exhausted.

I, too, am interested in a career path as a “full-time kitten influencer.”

But also we’re terrified of the subway

also, he's a liar! he says that he's never heard about things as a reflex because you don't have to answer about something you're first hearing since you "haven't considered it". he's a doddering, evil, lying idiot! all of the reasons are always simultaneuously true!

political pundits stop just coming up with new ways of rebranding feckless vacuity as strategy 2025 challenge

BREAKING: Florida cop treated for autism after exposure to tylenol during traffic stop

I think people had reasons to expect the administration to go after the media and liberal civil society. But to watch them do it with Charlie Kirk as a vehicle? Abetted by media liberals retconning him as a paragon of healthy civil discourse because he died? What can you say, really?

Reiterating a point I’ve made elsewhere to friends: the timelessness of Metro Area’s LP is really *astounding*: send it in a time machine back to ‘82 or ‘88 or ‘95, or forwards to now and it will still sound (a) insanely fresh and (b) sensible within the context of that moment’s dance music.

Great Egrets give elegant and majestic looks with their side profile, but the front facing view with the googly eyes and long neck has its own charm.

Rep. Agbaje has been a fiercely vocal ally to queer and transgender Minnesotans during her time in elected office thus far. It would be a radical shift backward to elect a homophobic pastor to this seat.

I don't think that's going to stop them

Rest in Peace, Maru. sisinmaru.com/2025/09/09/%...

Discogs entry for Peachfuzz/Gasface Refill deserves a better artwork jpeg...

Need a desk-over-lap-kitty solution, especially with cooler temperatures beginning… (I recall @lucyknisley.bsky.social posting a photo of one on Twitter some time ago…)

For context that's a third the price the RIAA expected a single human to pay for just downloading 24 songs a decade ago (after cutting the ruling down from $1.5m, or $62,000 per song), and that's not adjusting for inflation:

Putting away of laundry: PAUSED!

Why does September in MN have to be so obvious? Look, I appreciate your dedication to cooler temps, Sept. But do you have to be so boastful about it? So abrupt & demanding? You’re sitting there smiling with your eyes closed. Like a sunlit little cherub. Pretty passive-aggressive, if you ask me.

I do not know what joke you monsters thought you were playing at by hiding the music of Eddie Marcon from me all these years. eddiemarcon.bandcamp.com/album/carpet...

This is what Excellence in Editorial Decision-Making looks like. 😂

[Tjinder Singh from Cornershop voice] “Mine’s in the living room…”

Was remembering hearing Greg Wilson drop this at APT in 2005. One of those moments where the song immediately engraves a space in memory ready to recall in minutest detail whenever needed… Greg Wilson/The PTA-“Two Sides of Sympathy” Still thoroughly imperial. youtu.be/T255Q1vzq-g?...

apart from electing a black president nothing has driven more Americans irrevocably insane than the requirement that they participate in the collective good

once again, i'll suggest that perhaps the reason the broad public thinks democrats are weak is that when confronted with situations that demands that democrats loudly and proactively stand up for their values, democrats shirk from the fight
