I always wonder if it physically hurts to write shit this fucking idiotic.

The majority of organizing happening in Minnesota isn’t just peaceful, it’s INVISIBLE. Moms showing up who won’t be interviewed on TV, people whose ICE patrols don’t turn into viral video. The grocery runs, the donations, the people filming bc they happen to be there. Please remember this.

I was too upset to sleep last night and wrote many versions of this post in my head as I lie awake. This is by far the calmest and kindest.

Monsters on the internet, safe behind their keyboards, had the gall to say he deserved what happened to him. Other monsters had the gall to say that only paid protesters cared about his death.

Before his lead-riddled body was even cold, the federal government lied about who he was and what he did in his final minutes.

When he saw a woman attacked by masked men on the street between Glam Doll and Vertical Endeavors, he chose to help her up, regardless of the consequences.

Alex Pretti came from a mid-sized city in Wisconsin to get his education in the Twin Cities. He chose to stay and work here into his adulthood and called the south side of Minneapolis his home. Riding his bike through the woods brought him joy.

Alex Pretti from his early days working at the VA

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

White. Hot. Rage.

Everything by Machine Games is coming back into heavy rotation.

Delightful

Really don’t want this to be Martyrapolis. I’d like us to all just to have the opportunity to lead our lives in peace.

Scanning deeper, seeing plenty of others posted. Faith in humanity still on thin ice, but it helps.

Automatic for the People by R.E.M CD cover

Haven’t seen this listed yet, which is wild to me.

WTAF in that hit on Jordan Love?!

All of the nostalgic content is about being young and “free range” in those days. Those kids’ parents were all stressed AF.

Just Indiana Jones and the Great Circle and honestly it’s a better complement to the original 3 movies than either Skulls or Dial.

A modest proposal: Wisconsin and Minnesota do an inter-league trade of Justin Jefferson for Giannis Antetokounmpo. Packers and Wolves instantly become championship favorites. Bucks and Vikes seasons are already a disaster.

JJ + JL = Wins
Freak + Ant = Wins

“Minnesota’s mayor”

Winter is here and my new (to me) Cykel fat bike has been busy up and down Minnehaha Creek.

The haplessness of the Vikings offense this season is pretty staggering, so don’t give your fantasy defenders too much credit.

Don’t sleep on Thiel.

This morning’s project

In shape Luka is terrifying.

The view from Miner's Mountain in #cuyuna.

If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."

I’m reading Dresden Files - Battle Ground, a story where a bronze titan sends an army to invade Chicago, but the City’s weirdos and regular folks band together to drive them back.

Or is that the news? Tough to keep track.

Yesterday I told ChatGPT that it made a mistake and after apologizing, it told me it made a HUMAN ERROR.
