I worked at Clancey’s for 3ish years. It’s my favorite job I’ve ever had. My heart breaks for Kristin and her team, having to go through all of this.

16 years ago today, Joe Mauer was named the American League MVP!

What was your favorite moment from his 2009 season?

AL Central currently has four of the top six records in the AL.

What a time to be alive.

The reason why we need to support the Trades in high school and post-secondary is because we don’t want a bunch of old racist white dudes choosing who to help.

Putting a lot of mileage on this one lately, and not just because of my disgust with our current administration. It’s an absolutely beautiful fuzz. 3 silicon transistors for a Tone Bender-ish vibe, or add in a 4th transistor with the 🖕🖕🖕button and engage the EQ for Big Muff territory.

DOGE recommended firing workers at:

-FDA, which oversees Neuralink

-FAA, which oversees SpaceX

-USAID, which probed Starlink

-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.

"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Twins add Ty France to first-base mix with one-year deal: Source The Twins agreed to sign France to a 1-year deal on Tuesday, giving them an experienced option at first base.

Added my analysis to @danhayesmlb.bsky.social's story on the Twins signing Ty France.

Certainly not an exciting move, but delving deeper there is reason for a little optimism.

If nothing else, it seems pretty clear why the Twins think a bounce back is very possible: www.nytimes.com/athletic/612...

I play electric 99.9% of the time I play guitar, but there is nothing more gratifying than the first open-chord strum of an acoustic with brand new strings on it.

For anyone who hasn't listened yet: Cory Provus dropped a few juicy and yet-to-be-announced tidbits about the Twins' new broadcast plans.

Plus you can hear why I've been getting texts all day about how great Simeon Woods Richardson and Ryan Jeffers were.

It’s…a place. That’s for sure.
Even the pornobots are starting to make the migration!

Nice to see you over here!

How the Trump administration celebrates MLK day

People calling this a "Roman salute" are clowns. That's like saying hey, why are you giving me grief over these swastikas? I'm not a Nazi. I'm just super into Vedic north Indian culture. Gimme a break.

Also, Drug Church’s new album “PRUDE.”

This is true.
In case you need suggestions - Foxing’s self-titled album is an excellent, melodic collection of scream songs.

This is why I shouldn’t check social media right after I wake up. 5am is entirely too early to comprehend agreeing with Bannon on anything. I need my coffee.
Should be an entertaining fight if there is one, though!

The Social Network (2010)

David Jiricek makes a big first impression on Wild teammates: 'Holy s---, he’s tall' “I’m excited,” Jiricek said. “I heard it’s a hockey state, so that’s the first thing I know. And the second is it’s frickin’ cold out here."

So I’m gonna go listen to the new Kendrick to try to wipe it away.

I haven’t intentionally listened to Matchbox 20 in 25 years…and yet I woke up with one of their songs in my head. I have no idea what this signals for my day…

I haven’t actually played the DM-2W, but I’m told it nails it. Plus super controllable oscillation, presets, and MIDI, so it’s kind the perfected version of it.
It’s my favorite delay of all time.

Which one? Art Van? Mine’s a v1. No idea if v2 is ever actually coming.

This is so amazing perfect!

The wasp bit is a deep cut though and it helps to know that the fig is part of the fig wasps life cycle and female wasps lay there eggs in figs and then die (in the fig).

“Christmas Wrapping” by The Waitresses is the greatest Christmas song of the 20th century.

Surprise Y'all! first new blast of the new record from me and Richard Chartier, Aurora Terminalis.
