I think Speed Raced truthers would loooooooooove some of the chroma key liminality and CG maximalist minimalism of Nobuhiko Obayashi’s anti-War trilogy and Labyrinth of Cinema!

I was at Walker library in Uptown Saturday (children and families were inside doing library stuff, seemingly unafraid). The county appears to have sawed off the stone bench that used to be fixed to the wall at the entry.

ICE detained more than 70 Minnesota children, data reveals Immigration officials detained more than 70 Minnesota children between Dec. 1 and March 10, a Sahan analysis of court records and federal deportation data shows.

70 Minnesota children.

Delta Air Lines, who likely flew nearly all of these kiddos out of MSP, could publicly condemn this and end the practice tomorrow, as the airlines did in 2018 with family separation, but it’s easier to stay silent.

•PAUSE EVICTIONS SAVELIVES 45 DAY PRE-EVICTION NOTICE PERIOD PUBLIC HEARING COME TESTIFY! The Minneapolis City Council will vote to extend the pre-eviction notice period from 30 to 45days. Date: April 21st 1:30 pm Committee of the Whole Location: Council Chambers 350 S 5th St Minneapolis, MN

Our community continues to face an extreme housing crisis cause by Operation Metro Surge. Recent reports by Homeline show that eviction filings are up by 18% in Minnesota compared to this time last year. I am proud to bring forward an extension of the 30 pre-eviction notice period to 45 days.

Here at the Trylon we've decided that 2K digital projection is no longer enough for us. We're launching a campaign to raise funds for the installation of a 4K LASER projector this summer. If you'd like to lend a hand... trylon.org/4K

It was about 44 degrees as these shackled detainees were loaded onto today's ICE Air flight in the pouring rain at MSP.

Progressive council led & passed 7M in small biz support, 3.8M in rental assistance, progressing on safe parking for unhoused neighbors, emergency housing vouchers, funding for traffic calming, funding for street and bridge projects—the list goes on & on— but the mayor starts the term with division

Only thing I love more than watching HEAT is talking HEAT with podcasters who come slinging HEAT

The rare movie where you think everything's been said about it before, but a podcast can only crack a fraction of the film (shoutout @kransekage.bsky.social for making this an excellent guest tag team)

Wow, even more Michael Mann podcasting! This time I got to be on with @nataliesnotinit.bsky.social who is brilliant and had some characteristically incredible film takes to share.

With @kransekage.bsky.social and @nataliesnotinit.bsky.social, we finally crack open this melodramatic, load-bearing high water mark of crime cinema.

Then, it’s time for some rapid-fire HEAT-adjacent trivia. Buckle in.

Now you can listen to me talking Michael Mann's THIEF with some great fellas! Even though they are making big profits from my work, my risk, my sweat. But that is okay, because I elected to make that deal. But now, the deal is over. I want my end, and I am out.

HORRIBLE. ICE is averaging more than one death a week this year. It's like clockwork. The last death reported was exactly seven days ago.

THIS SATURDAY NIGHT!!! Have you gotten your tickets yet??

If filth is your politics and filth is your life, come out to the Twin Cities' filthiest film screening of 2026!

hi non-Minnesota friends! please share this with your out-of-state networks

everyone here is pretty much tapped out, but the impacts of Metro Surge are still looming large here. our black and brown and immigrant neighbors lost months of work, and rent is still due.

We need help.

Something to ask yourself: if you get a reel featuring someone doing owl city's fireflies, who are you sending it to?

A film that feels almost impossible to comprehensively talk about in the span of two hours, but the Trylove guys always find a way!

Noise music, being a woman in an industry built on misogyny, Internet-era decontextualized dehumanization, Gina Gershon's "I ❤️ Gossip" shirt... we talk about it all!

@nataliesnotinit.bsky.social knows noise when she sees it, and DEMONLOVER (2002) is chock-full of it.

Olivier Assayas's aggressively Web 1.0 look at power, sex, control, and subjugation — a movie that self-destructs while you're watching it.

Earlier this month, Luis was abducted by ICE on his way home. Unfortunately, his daughter witnessed this. He has been released but still needs support for ongoing legal costs.
