It is fun to go to the movies

At the Alamo Drafthouse to see Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

I got a brand new gaming PC today (to replace my old one from 2018), and now I can finally play Minecraft VR with the cool shaders and distant horizons!

Playing a little more Deadpool VR tonight

At the Alamo Drafthouse to see Brazil

I played TWO games of curling tonight, back-to-back. First I subbed in on another team, and then I played with my regular team. Now I am exhausted!

It's a perfect day to visit the Central Park Ice Skate Loop in Maple Grove!

This year's Korg Christmas Carol is O Tannenbaum youtu.be/lmJ1_E9bCkI...

23°F is a little too cold for an after-dinner Thanksgiving walk, so I watched a VR walking tour of some Venetian islands instead.

I have beaten Deadpool VR!

Predator: Badlands is way better than Napoleon (which was the last movie we saw on a Thanksgiving)

At the Alamo Drafthouse to see Predator: Badlands

Playing some more Deadpool VR tonight. I only just now found out that Neil Patrick Harris, John Leguizamo, and Jeffrey Combs were providing voices, lol

Snow has arrived in Oakdale!

We went to the Guthrie Theater tonight to see A Christmas Carol. It was our first time at the iconic theater in downtown Minneapolis, and the first snowstorm of the winter was getting started as we left!

Today’s xkcd made me cry. In a good way. xkcd.com/3172/

Sunday Night at the Saint Paul Curling Club!

For the fourth year in a row, we went to Krueger's Christmas Tree Farm this afternoon to get a tree. We were able to get a great Siberian Fir this year!

Elected officials who inform their constituents about federal and constitutional law are doing their jobs. That includes when they remind service members that they could be prosecuted for following unlawful orders because it's a violation of the Constitution. That is the law.

I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution. Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.

At the Alamo Drafthouse to see Wicked: For Good

I played through Hotel Infinity tonight, a non-euclidean VR walking simulator and puzzle game. The IRL walking makes it highly immersive, and it's the first room-scale game I've played where I never triggered the guardian.

Tonight's mystery movie was The Mission (1999). It's a 1999 Hong Kong action film produced and directed by Johnnie To, that reminded me of The Godfather, Reservoir Dogs, and the classic John Woo movies.

At the Alamo Drafthouse to see a mystery movie!

Don’t know how old you are but the reason a 54-year-old 2x Bill Clinton voter couldn’t care less if he goes down with the ship is because, if he’s guilty, fuck that guy.

One last Onewheel ride before the temperature drops tomorrow

I went skating at the Rosedale Oval this afternoon (55° F)

At the Walker Art Center Cinema in Minneapolis to see Maliglutit

At the Alamo Drafthouse to see Videoheaven

Look outside people, them lights be northern

There's a severe solar storm right now and the sky in Western Canada is MIND BLOWING! I feel like the world is ending in some trippy Lovecraftian way.

The Northern Lights over #Chicago with an iPhone. What a world. #aurora

Northern lights as seen through the clouds in Ontario, Canada.

Visible northern lights in the Twin Cities tonight. If you can’t see them clearly use your phone camera. It’s beautiful.

The Aurora Borealis tonight is the brightest I've ever seen, with the colors clearly visible to the naked eye, even in the middle of suburbs full of street lights!

"babies are born worshipping unknown gods" is one of the most incredible dwarf fortress bugs i have heard of. its poetry.

BREAKING: Trump pardons Rudy Giuliani and others involved in efforts to overturn 2020 election, Justice Department official says.

South Korea's ousted conservative President Yoon Suk Yeol faces additional criminal charges as prosecutors allege that he flew drones over North Korea to deliberately create tensions and justify his plans to declare martial law.

Back-to-back headlines this morning: South Korea's criminal president is facing justice. America's criminal president is pardoning his co-conspirator.

Sunday night Curling, with a dusting of snow afterwards!

I had some nice schnitzel for dinner, but my plan to go ice skating in Rosedale afterwards was stymied by the warm weather. They've delayed the opening of the Rosedale Oval from tonight until next Wednesday.

1. On Tuesday Night, Democrats won elections nationwide in a stunning rebuke of anti-transgender politics. From Virginia to New Jersey to New York and beyond, anti-trans candidates fell left and right after spending tons of time and money campaigning on hate. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Tonight’s election results prove that Trump and Trumpism are bad politics - deeply unpopular.

Today is an absolute rebuke of anti-transgender politics, and a real sign that the anti-trans panic is fading. From VA Gov to Loudoun County to New Jersey to New York City and Pennsylvania, anti-trans Republicans are falling left and right.

Zohran Mamdani wins! He ran on an unabashedly pro-transgender platform, stood up for the most vulnerable, as so many have pushed for the Democratic Party to abandon trans people in order to win. Major win for trans New Yorkers - he has vowed for intense resistance to anti-trans Trump policies.
