We'll see. Did Flying Canoe with the kids for the first time, and I feel better today than I did last night.

Okay, but

1. Dayglo Abortions - "Argh! Fuck! Kill"
2. Men Without Hats - "Pop Goes the World"
3. The Weakerthans - "Plea from a Cat Named Virtute"
4. Cœur de Pirate - "Adieu"
5. Mother Mother - "Hayloft"

part of this is like, conservatives projecting; part of this is conservatives unable to imagine politics without money; and part of this is dudes who are so out of touch with feminized labor that they think children's birthday parties exist as a spontaneous act of parthogenesis

cannot emphasize enough how much this is a conflict about racism and it's place in our society.

Always handy because, as usual, I have seen none of them.

Another fact that people outside of MN might find hard to believe:

I cannot participate in any kind of observation of ice activities because they will put me in a database, and follow me when I make deliveries of supplies to vulnerable people, so they can abduct them.

This just pissed me off even more than the re-handcuffing

The notion that these motherfuckers were the ones showing grace, that the women should be appreciative and speak well of the agents, that substandard treatment is conditioned on the women's portraying then as benevolent

Fuckin disgusting

Yeah, honestly the AI seems to be getting better with hands these days.

It really should be called the Dred and Harriet Scott case

I can’t speak for everyone, but my mind tends to treat writing an article, making a video, writing a song, cooking a meal, drawing an image, and, apparently, designing software the same way. It’s not a matter of just “generating” something perfect from my head, but exploring the tension that exists between what I’m imagining and the limitations of my stupid meat body. That’s actually the exciting part. It also lets me figure out if something has turned out wrong or just resulted in a happy accident. Vibe coding, like every new trend coming out of Silicon Valley, turns this process — the entire act of creativity, itself — into a slot machine. One more pull on the AI and maybe it will figure it out for you. You won’t understand how any of it works, of course, or feel particularly proud of what you’ve done, but maybe you’ll have something. Just a few more dollars for some more tokens. C’mon, just pay a bit more.

I felt like making some art last night/today and could have made something beautiful and/or meaningful but I made this instead.

It's a Barbie Yaga Malibu Dream Hut.

No regrets. Can't defeat fascism without joy.

Wish they came in Roman numerals now. Whole bunch of IIIs would go a long way.

A U.S. president cannot be held accountable. Therefore, a U.S. president must never make a policy decision.

I always wanted one of those. I feel like I need to retire before I can go back to the flannel and tee uniform. I ended up inheriting most of my everyday outfit for college from my granddad, as it was.

“If you are not to award me oatmeal and paperclips, then I will indulge in rage. And mine is infinite!”

Thought you needed to Instagram in order to publish a book these days!

People who won’t use their name when talking to press have a lot of chutzpah accusing others of looking weak

Mike @r: We call our dog R.B. for short. It stands for Rotisserie Bastard because when we adopted him he ate an entire rotisserie chicken. I constantly forget | put his full government name on file at the vet SW Animal Clinic: Hi Michael, The Rotisserie Bastard is done with his procedure and ready for pickup.
