Mostly organic material and a series of vibrations registering as sound.

Abides in the liminal space between the Twin Cities of Saint Paul and Minneapolis, where nothing is quite real and anything is possible.

Drums, mandolin. Rarely at the same time.

I just realized that the reason I always wanted this can-shaped sauce on a serving platter at Thanksgiving dinner was because I never took Thanksgiving seriously as a holiday and this perfectly encapsulated it for me.
And so it begins…

Whatever relative goodwill the SPPD had banked up was absolutely torched today by their actions on the East Side.

Truly shameful.

@melvincarter.bsky.social @mayorher.bsky.social I genuinely hope you understand how enraged and disgusted the people of our city are right now.

there's that now-famous internet line about how climate change means watching clips of climate disasters on people's phones until you're the one filming it, and it feels like there's some parallel about watching fascist deportation goon squad videos until it's filmed on the streets you recognize

I've taken a deep dive into the DOGE bro's open source software code commits to verify they never wrote (or even oversaw) any code beyond culture war messaging. It's all trivial stuff like this: taking out the "nonbiary" option on some form.

This is the same asshole that arrested me at Brotex. Out there racking up those FTCA complaints…
If I pointed a loaded assault rifle at someone in the street with the obvious intent of intimidating them, I would be arrested and charged with assault (or worse).

My most firmly held political belief is that it should be illegal to refer to wet wipes as "flushable" considering the havoc they wreak on our sewer systems. It is entirely coincidental that Marxist-Leninism is the only way to achieve this.

3 journalists were either gassed, pepper sprayed, or hit with pepper balls today. One of them (a Minnesota Public Radio journalist) had to be hospitalized.

Also, St. Paul police managed to brutalize two state representatives during all this.

Just a sickening rampage

Photos from St. Paul today captured by MPR photojournalist Kerem Yücel. He filed them even after being hospitalized after being injured by a less lethal munition.
