Bakshi's Lord of the Rings

And the dogs are blue 🐶🪻🌞

I went to Delphi, strange place... smelly, place, [wafting gesture] smelly, and they told me... You know what they told me? They told me that all I had to do was invade Persia, and a great EMPIRE, an EMPIRE, would fall. Would you believe that folks? Would you believe that?

Excellent new series from @polygon.com and @doomquasar.bsky.social love the concept of Criterion Closet but for Video Games. Matt was such a great guy to have on and to have as the first guest!

$130bn + $4bn of interest, “there are no merits”, what an absolute savage.

the Canadian electorate after Pierre managed to stay on as leader:

This war is dumb and illegal

this is a great brief and it appropriately ends with a killshot: the simple observation that if trump's meaning held, the birthright clause would not have overturned dred scott, the one thing it was absolutely meant to do.

Really interesting story behind this Queen Village mural.

I really do need to get to the Comcast Technology center to gawk at the lobby someday soon.

so it was written. so it will be

feel like i'm gonna be getting a lot of mileage out of this one

Getting that bag 💰

shouting Vive L'Empereur like i'm an extra in an episode of Sharpe

Talking about American history. Talking about Black History Month. Let’s look at “The Colored Conventions: A Buried History” by Ernel Martinez, a pair of murals created to memorialize the Colored Conventions Movement and its attendees.

This for me as well but extra because my wife and I had our son Oct 2020 and the combination of parent sleep loss and then kid growing up time warp makes it all feel like it happened in a week sometimes. Everything that's happened in that time is part of an eternal Now.

LETS FUCKING GO!

A Philly street artist, known as Make It Weird, wants you to know your rights! Info on the cards by the Immigrant Legal Resource Center.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

Tonight I watched Prime Minister Mark Carney take the actual Heated Rivalry Canada fleece from Hudson Williams, slip it on and say: “This is true soft power.”

The Minneapolis resistance is getting object lessons in what wrecking is in real-time, but unfortunately the lesson doesn't seem to be taking

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

"Social media is a perfect mechanism for amplifying terrorism’s intent. You stare into an abyss, made up of shaky live footage, written testimonies, and everyone else’s outrage and panic about the same. You are imbued with a deep and abiding sense of cataclysm at every turn."

I wrote about my childhood friend Alexi Pretti. Please read it and share it and remember him as a human being. @theverge.com

"By G-d I'll fight till bell freezes over and then I'll cut the ice and fight on"

Idea stolen from @cyberotters.bsky.social

Finally working on something for @sodrock.bsky.social

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

Copies of these should be put up immediately on state/city property with this added: “The enslaved people memorialized here mean more to us than the president who tried to erase them. It is our patriotic duty to read every word on these signs.”

You can tell things are going well in America because accounts with names like MovieTVFunZone are posting things like, "THE PIGS ARE KIDNAPPING CHILDREN AND PRIESTS. THE TREE OF LIBERTY DEMANDS TO BE WATERED"

A coworker took this from her apartment. I haven't seen a crowd this size before. Maybe the first Women's March? But it was much much warmer that day. ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA!

The Virginia Senate is wasting no time with calling for the removal of the last few "Confederate monuments and memorials from Capitol Square" in Richmond. 🗃️

Arresting clergy at a protest is the regime taking the bait

The most valuable cultural myth we have is that we can improve ourselves. It used to be in our public consciousness that this is what we strive to do. And have done before. Better people turned their shame into action. Small people use their shame as an excuse for nihilism.

one year since David Lynch passed, happy friday and RIP big dawg

terrific conversation with @whstancil.bsky.social about what's going on in his home minneapolis right now. at the end he puts it very bluntly: ICE is not an immigration agency that just needs some technocratic reforms. ICE is a terror agency operating under the fig leaf of immigration.
