A reminder that ICE hasn’t slowed down in Minneapolis at all.
Outside of Minnesota, it might feel like everything has changed since Alex Pretti’s murder. But ICE hasn’t actually lost any power and they’re continuing to terrorize our communities.

The budget deal in Congress will give ICE another $10 BILLION.
Absolutely not.
ICE is out of control. We must stop this rogue agency’s dangerous abuses of power, not bankroll it.

DHS wants your face in their database. No warrant. No consent. No accountability. This is what authoritarianism looks like in the digital age. It’s time to shut it down.

Every year I am reminded why I don't make sausage. And if I make you homemade sausage, I must really love you. Made low fodmap sausage for @moanl.bsky.social
Last coil, best coil. Thanks to @jwatson0.bsky.social and @moanl.bsky.social for the additional hands.

I have way too many vested hours into Satisfactory. What a great game.
I see people complaining about the state of the video games this year and I’m like really bro? Between Ball x Pit and Silksong I happily spent days of my life for the cost of a lunch.
2025 sucked in a variety of ways but for games and art it has been a feast. Find the joy.

This whole unwrapped bullshit is just multiple papercuts in the same location at the end of the year. I will admit that some of the roasting was funny, but damn if I'm not feeling attacked.

2025 is seriously weird. While the world is burning around me, I'm having an awesome career year. I feel rather untethered at work and my client is reaping in the benefits. I'll also note, that this year is probably the least I've coded too. 🤷♂️
