Every social theory undergirding Trumpism has been broken on the steel of Minnesotan resolve. The multiracial community in Minneapolis was supposed to shatter. It did not. It held until Bovino was forced out of the Twin Cities with his long coat between his legs. The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesive—because of its diversity and not in spite of it. Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority. Minnesotans have preserved everything worthwhile about “Western civilization,” while armed brutes try to tear it down by force.

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

I hope that all of you have a joyous holiday season surrounded by your family and loved ones*.

*Except for ICE. I hope no one talks to you or gives you a present and that you accidentally shit your pants while everyone tells you to go fuck yourself at the grocery store.

Greg Obis, new owner of Chicago Mastering Service - Chicago Reader In this interview, Greg Obis attempts to demystify mastering—while explaining why it'd still be a good idea to let a professional handle it.

In case you hadn't heard, Bob and Carrie Weston have moved to Portugal—which means that Chicago Mastering Service, one of the most sophisticated such studios in the city, has a new owner! I interviewed Greg Obis (@guypidgeotto.bsky.social) about his new role. chicagoreader.com/music/chicag...
