watching a youtube list of love songs in musicals. it seems that this is less a zoomer-wide reclamation and more one random youtuber liking something obscure, but #17 was a song from Razia's Shadow, and my instant reaction was, oh of course they're reclaiming Razia's Shadow the streets are ready now

when, in the last five years or so, it became obvious that our main weapon against climate change did not have to be a reduction in living standards, but in increasingly abundant and cheap solar energy, I was so happy. but even the profit motive is not enough for these people

Wouldn’t be surprised if MPLS continues to be plagued by the same types of guys that have continued to cause a ruckus here in LA and the surrounding area—familiarize yourself with the Special Response Team patches and camo. They’re grade-A assholes, *in addition to* the local feds who stick around

as a culture we need to accept that dad demographics have changed and recognize that The Notebook has a place in the dad movie canon

The GOP just had its best chance to finally flip a legislative seat in Trump 2.0. Democrats had other ideas.

Chasity Martinez just won a rural Trump+13 in the Louisiana House in a 24-point landslide—an overperformance of 37 points.

oh my god this year is the 20th anniversary of Babel. i can't wait to read all the retrospectives and oral histories people are so surely writing about Babel. it's way widely loved, it's a presumed Best Picture runner-up and everyone remembers this everyone remembers Babel. 20 years of it. Babel

“I do not think that 50 year old men should be having sex with 16 year old girls. But “
This level of apologia (from Megan McArdle in a podcast with Josh Barro and Ross Douthat) is fucking appalling. Idk what else there is to say.

update: i have not asked my mom which songs made the playlist of songs that remind her of her kids, but i CAN CONFIRM she added Carly Rae Jepsen's "Run Away With Me"
actually made this list, tried to balance it so it's mostly songs she could conceivably hear in a grocery store with a few personal faves and a few others i thought it'd be funny to get my mom's opinion of, i will report back if mom registers any opinions but mostly i think she's happy i texted her

I taught a class on “hope” last year and the few theorists who’ve written on it all point out that hope is the harder choice - that despair is easy and too often fashionable
Too many people on Bluesky think that relentless expressions of despair are a sign of intellectual sophistication.

Much of the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown is concentrated in Minneapolis and surrounding cities. But federal agents are making arrests across Minnesota and community members are banding together to keep watch and support immigrant neighbors. A view of the resistance from Northfield.

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

football analysts: i don't get this hire from the cardinals. are they even trying?
me, a hideous hunchback: with mike lafleur's hiring, the cardinals have ensured that four dudes named mike will be coaching nfl teams at the start of the 2026 season. the seas shan't swallow the earth this year
i started tracking this years ago for reasons i do not remember, and i understand with two interims and one dead man walking this is a fleeting moment, but for the first time in over ten years six nfl head coaches are dudes named mike. so the moon will rise! still we must savor a beautiful day!
