Then there’s Chancellor Ake’s office, which for some reason looks like the Arizona Biltmore and the Blacker House were merged via an AI prompt. Why is it like this?

Brandchitecture has taken over Starfleet following The Burn. Everything looks as though it’s been designed by a brand agency and it sucks.

Starfleet Academy is a weird and not very good show so far. Bummer.

i just feel like still wancil’s blind spot has always been his own backyard, like the locals and his lack of understanding of them/us, which is probably behind why he wore out his welcome w/ the watch group here

Headline and subheading from CSP Daily read: “Amazon waves goodbye to its palm-pay technology Amazon One will be shut down in June, due to limited use By Heather Lalley on Jan. 29, 2026”

Excerpt from Architizer article reads: “Architectural storytelling is a very "overused" phrase amongst architects nowadays. Many practitioners claim that their designs always follow certain narratives, making experiences rather than spaces. And yet, there aren't many”

<comic book guy from The Simpsons voice>: Worst quotation marks placement ever!

Richfield: Technically we're almost Minneapolis.
Edina: Thank you, on behalf of everybody, we accept
Bloomington: If you include us you can shop at the mall
Minnetonka: Who? Minneapolis? Never heard of her.

imagining some dork at aia hq spending hours a day wringing their fists over the fucking east wing

Excerpt from AIA newsletter reads: "See the latest on AIA's White House East Wing advocacy efforts (FREE)"

lol -- i didn't give a shit about this when it was the big news story, let alone now -- READ THE ROOM AIA!

Screen shot of tweet with photo of Trump and Klobuchar being cordial with text reading: “Bo Erickson Reuters ® @BoKnowsNews Follow Trump points at Sen. Amy Klobuchar: 5 years after her presidential campaign to unseat him, no one appeared to be having more fun at this luncheon than Klobuchar, who was head of the Inauguration committee. Seated next to Trump for more than an hour, the two almost never broke conversation. There was lots of laughing, hand shakes, pointing out people in the crowd.”

we know how she stands up to trump

Pam Bondi is here days after sending a ransom letter to Walz, the Repubs are calling Pretti a "domestic terrorist," feds were out all over S. Mpls today, and Walz is opey-okey-doke-ing all over the place saying he will give Horman the "benefit of the doubt" while more funding goes to DHS in Mpls.

The exposed entrails of a tauntaun after Luke Skywalkers lightsaber cut the beast open…they look like AI sushi rice.

got that sushi rice looking like tauntaun guts

thx for the song bruce springsteen since you have a podcast w/ tom homan’s old boss can you ask barry something like wtf bro

Excerpt from New Republic article reads: “What's really going on here is this: Trump is looking to defuse anger among congressional Democrats for purposes that don't portend a meaningful shift. An administration official gave away the game to Punchbowl News, admitting that these "de-escalatory measures" are about placating Senate Democrats so they don't seize this moment to demand restrictions on ICE as part of any government funding package.”

Locally, Walz and Frey have already fallen for this bullshit and taken the bait wholeheartedly, which has already sent signals to congressional Dems, so you just know ICE can continue to get that bag with no shutdown, and no end to the violence here. Only Minneapolis will save Minneapolis.

It’s funny on the other site, the personal brand accounts that are just tweeting through all this. Incredible commitment to the bit. Would be a cool game show to see if you could come up with something to get them to break character.

Excerpt from WSJ article reads: “Davies investigated the bag for the Articles of Interest newsletter, published on Substack by the podcast of the same name in October 2025, exploring what the bag signals to its holders. One London carrier told Davies she assumes "most people who use a Trader Joe's tote are quite liberal and cultured," while another described the bag as "very lib, almost 'champagne socialist'-coded."”

WSJ Fashion with a banger here lmao…

“That is a disgusting act by ICE and it's unfortunate that we had that on our timeline live. That is disgusting.”

Excerpt from WSJ article reads: “On Sunday night, Trump made clear that he was looking to make a deal: In a Truth Social post, he called on Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey to cooperate more closely with federal officials, including providing additional assistance in apprehending people living in the country illegally. Unspoken in the social-media post, but later confirmed by administration offi-cials: If Minnesota leaders agreed to his terms, Trump would pull some U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents out of the state.”

Oh, wonderful. This all hinges on some sort of deal made by our timid, cowardly centrist leadership with Trump.

Following their “retirements” I am looking forward to the Bovino, Lewandowski, Noem throuple reality show on Fox Nation though. One good thing to come of all this.

They’re sending a bribe-taking, corrupt cop affiliated w/ an anti-Muslim hate group to takeover leadership of the poorly-trained, armed, masked men running wild here and Walz was like this is progress. Awesome. Looking forward to nothing changing. Thanks to all involved.

Post Modern Times

Was so weird to leave all this and see ppl of all ethnicities out living life and being free. Need that back ASAP.

Excerpt from article reads: “Many are concerned that the Twin Cities are only the beginning. As one anonymous Minneapolis resident said: "We're very clearly a test bed to explore what the people of this country will tolerate as long as it doesn't affect them directly, and the answer appears to be Literally. Fucking. Anything"”

Anecdotal, but was out of town & when ppl ask “where ya from?” & hear MPLS, 90% made the usual comments about cold & nothing else, despite news. They don’t know/care/understand/want to get into it, but I read this while away & was reminded only MPLS will save MPLS which is <sigh>

Charlie Brown had hoes.

ArchiPAC contributions working to keep at least 2 of these turncoats IN!

RE: Thursday’s VP visit here during an Extreme Cold Watch. We’ll finally get confirmation that JD is an earmuffs guy. And not even the real ones, just those ear cover things. You know I’m right about this.

Excerpt from WaPo article reads: “Now, however, Germans are getting their own lüften shock. The trend has suddenly gone viral on U.S. social media - and, to Germans' horror, some Americans are claiming it as their own, with a new name. In recent months, wellness influencers on TikTok have taken to promoting the trend of "house burping," or periodic window-opening. That has prompted a flood of mocking response videos from Germans astounded that Americans claim to have just "discovered" lüften — and that they're calling it house burping.”

Germans got the idea for lüften from Americans doing house burping on TikTok, pass it on! 🇺🇸
