I have had to mute a few select words for the next 7-30 days for my sanity and well-being. I'm aware of what's happening but I don't need it in my face 24/7.

finally got my personal music server going with all my old mp3s (about 500+ albums) so I can serve up music, just bought my first bandcamp albums of 2026 and feeling good about supporting musicians directly. It's small, but something.

Thanks to all who called in their misheard lyrics that somehow felt right,
songs you’ve sang wrong for years… and love anyway.
Turns out we’ve all been hearing different things…
and somehow singing the same song.
That’s kinda perfect.
Alright.
Let’s get back to what don’t need correcting.

The comment on this thread about no one helping them out is the ultimate Minnesota insult is spot on. Also yes!
Man I really underestimated how bad it’s gotta feel to get verbally abused through a bullhorn by someone with a Minnesota accent
This morning in Minneapolis, an ICE vehicle got stuck on an icy hill in a residential neighborhood. Agents had to push the vehicles out, some almost slipping in the ice themselves.

To me the most important thing re public opinion is that it doesn't actually DO anything. It's there to mine as a resource for good or bad. There is no easy correlation between public opinion and policy. Lots of popular things will never be enacted as policy. Lots of unpopular things will.

Minneapolis is one of my favorite cities in the whole world. So many people that I love dearly up there. Be safe, be vigilant, do not stop.

Okay so I may have a lip balm problem (and still dry lips!) 😮💨
I just opened a delivery for me and it had 4, yes 4, new brands of lip balm.

MIDNIGHT MOVIES: FROM THE MARGIN TO THE MAINSTREAM is a documentary you should watch if you love movies and the culture behind them. I love documentaries like this & hearing from legends like Romero, Waters, & Lynch. So much fun hearing the history of the midnight movie #filmsky #moviesky

Ordered supplies to sew patches onto one of my jackets. It feels necessary at the moment to do something creative.

Always remember that listening to music can be the entire activity. Put on headphones. Blast it through speakers. Close your eyes and just listen.
Listening to music is not a background activity. It can be the entire journey, and it's worth the time.
