this rules, david! i cant wait to get my mittened hands on one of these bad boys.

i’m in agreement with aunt fancy here, but the bottom line is that i will smash the “buy” button for a kingfield version of this jacket regardless of the final design

at stump party. no sign of rudy gobert

is wearing a treebeard shirt to stump party cool or insensitive

ian, i am planning to stump for the first time this weekend and am bringing a few fellow first-time stumpers. i hope this is ok! we are all very excited.

No ICE in Minnesota.

Bring our neighbors back.

Close the camps.

Reparations for our communities.

Abolish ICE.

I wish I had the answer for why are we doing it,” Star says. “It’s an act of service. I don’t know. And it’s—so you can’t save everybody, right? And you maybe can’t even save anybody. Like maybe all we do is frustrate. You know, give someone one more day with their daughter or their dad. But if you lost your dad, or you lost your daughter, you would give anything to have one more day with them. And that’s what we can do.”

This article really hits home about why we all keep on going out there each day.

sure nice to get those goosebumps everytime sometimes

such was the beauty of yesterday's internet! less fun, but i remember logging on to diablo the night of 9/11 and seeing people talk about it in the chats and that's when my child's brain thought "woah, if the diablo boys are talking about 9/11 it must be a pretty big deal."

the last time i had fun online was in 2001 playing diablo ii

this is the only thing i’ve seen that i would buy

i’m glad the niners didn’t win the super bowl this season. the merch sucks. they’ll win it again when the merch is good.

for a split second i thought this said ayo plays dungeons and dragons on gameday

This cannot be reformed.

haunting prose, david

you have no idea what the people want, old man

one of the most salient bits of wisdom i heard from organizers in chicago was something alone the lines of, “there are people in our group who i cannot stand. and that is ok.”

was watching fucking vanderpump rules the other night and they were driving around in black SUVs. found myself trying to see if the driver was wearing a gaiter before I remembered it’s a dumbass tv show

and he sure did! admittedly, the whole interview isn’t *quite* as vomit-inducing but i cant say he makes a great case that he’s anything other than a good looking white guy whose job it is to say “i love mpls.” you could have a pumpkin in the mayor’s office and it’d be just as effective as jacob.

i realize i’m cherry picking from the frey/nyt interview but this part made me ralph. jacob’s biggest fault? simply being too right too early. they call it the “curse of the big brained mayor.”

hey drew! i listened to the album while sitting at home in minneapolis. also read your wonderful quietus essay. wanted you to know how affecting the music is, and how your desire to create something beautiful emanates outward. it’s art as freedom, as connection, as humanity. can’t thank you enough.

twin cities resource disbursement question: we have a bunch of wet cat food specifically for diabetic cats, as well as some other diabetic cat-related supplies, and i would love to get these to a family who could use them. are there any known needs for this kind of stuff? or any groups to donate to?

i'd like to think that such a cruelly pointless day-to-day existence is decaying these monsters from the inside out, and that at some point the accumulated rot will be enough to get them to quit, lest they lose their humanity entirely. but i guess that assumes they have any humanity left to lose.

i am, too. it's so craven that it almost feels fake.

also got this horseshit a moment ago. @governorwalz.mn.gov, with absolutely no due respect, what the HELL is wrong with you, big guy?

If a non-citizen neighbor gets kidnapped by ICE, you supposedly have about 4-5 hours to file a habeas petition in Minnesota to prevent ICE from shipping people to Texas. They are moving people that quickly regardless of whether or not they have legal status.

you did it! thank you nick

halftime show is just crunch dunking on bovino repeatedly until he’s buried beneath the target center floor

They are rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic thinking it'll fix the hole caused by the iceberg. But we are the iceberg.

@nicklutsko.bsky.social can the people of minneapolis get a “greg bovino (reprise)” in the style of “dan bongino (reprise)” in honor of driving that piece of shit loser out of our city
