Just imagine the mispronunciations we'd be hearing today if they had kept the "h" in there. It would be on the level of Wayzata. I kind of wish they had kept it.

(Also if your phone autocorrects Matt's to Mats, you might be from Minnesota)
a chain of events led me to look back through my old art history newsletter archives; for kicks, I'm going to recreate a fave here in skeet-thread form. So! Let's talk about the industrial design history of the electric guitar

28.01.2026 17:30 — 👍 13 🔁 5 💬 4 📌 0I 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
Fact: one of the four civilian attorneys at the Nuremberg Trials was Benedict Deinard of Minneapolis.

WHAT IS HAPPENING IN MINNEAPOLIS IS UNCONSCIONABLE, DEPLORABLE AND FRANKLY UNFATHOMABLE. OUR THOUGHTS ARE WITH ALL OF THE VICTIMS AND THEIR FAMILIES. THE INJUSTICE, DESTRUCTION AND MURDER CARRIED OUT AT THE HANDS OF ICE IS SHOCKING TO WITNESS AND THERE HAVE RIGHTLY BEEN CONCERNS FOR SAFETY OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC, AND THE ENTIRE CITY. AS A BAND WE VEHEMENTLY BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF THE ARTS AS AN ACT OF COMMUNITY, LOVE AND SOLIDARITY, WE BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF CATHARSIS AND CHANNELING OUR ENERGIES INTO THE CREATIVE CATHARSIS OF MUSIC. WE BELIEVE IN CREATING SAFE SPACES FOR THOSE WHO ARE MARGINALISED, PERSECUTED AND SEEKING SHELTER FROM THE PAIN OF THE OUTSIDE WORLD. IT IS FOR THOSE REASONS THAT HAVE WE HAVE DECIDED TO GO AHEAD WITH OUR SHOW IN MINNEAPOLIS THIS EVENING. WE WILL ALSO BE DONATING A PORTION OF ALL OUR MERCH SALES TO IRRF, A COALITION OF PHILANTHROPIC LEADERS ROOTED IN COMMUNITIES MOST IMPACTED BY IMMIGRATION-RELATED HARM. WE URGE ANYONE ATTENDING THE SHOW TODAY TO PLEASE TRAVEL SAFELY, LOOK AFTER YOURSELF AND THOSE AROUND YOU. MUSIC IS AN ACT OF RESISTANCE AND WE STAND WITH YOU. ALL OUR LOVE, SPRINTS
Sprints show at the 7th St. Entry should be good tonight. Dublin folks know a thing or two about protest and resistance.
28.01.2026 16:49 — 👍 18 🔁 5 💬 1 📌 0Oh me too. Propaganda works because I've seen it work on my parents. The only reason I am still on Facebook is because of my mom. Everything I post is for her. I talk to her to no avail. My dad is a complete lost cause. We should definitely talk about it sometime!
28.01.2026 02:24 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0My parents are MAGA as well. It really sucks.
28.01.2026 02:02 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Gophers and Hawkeyes united in Des Moines today...
27.01.2026 20:59 — 👍 150 🔁 30 💬 2 📌 7It's good to see people nationally finally understand why Minnesotans are so weirdly proud of where we call home.
And I have never been prouder of us than right now
It kind of sucks to be living through a situation that is both Orwellian AND Kafkaesque.
