Running a game of Clocktower today, continuing to fulfill my lifelong dream of playing Philip Seymour Hoffman in the Hunger Games

In this paper I will be discussing how Fruits Basket and The Wizard of Oz tell the same story about a young girl (with dead parents) provides adult men with the tools they need to emotionally heal themselves—

If you think Minnesotans sat around and waited for some politician to tell them to protect their neighbors, oh honey. You don't know Minnesotans at all.

The current regime took a week to abolish USAID, which is three times as old and was not in the news every day for brutalizing children

Reading bell hooks’ The Will to Change, thinking about how much I hated the Sociology 101 course I took as a 17-year-old boy raised in the “imperialist, white supremacist, capitalist patriarchy” as bell hooks puts it, and how resistant I would have been to this book if I’d read it when it came out.

I have spent my entire adult life being lectured by Republican politicians and conservative legal movement types about how important it is to preserve the sacred constitutional right to self-defense of *specifically this person* and then secret police murdered him in the street

I’m so excited to hear how it was this man’s fault that he was shot five times while lying on the ground under a pile of federal agents

Most of the propaganda I’ve seen about Minneapolis boils down to:

“If you behave, the system won’t hurt you.”

This system has always decided what “behaving” means *after* it hurts you.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

The first time Charlie Chaplin spoke onscreen, he implored the people of the world to resist the rising tide of fascism.

Nearly 90 years later, it remains a timely message.

I don't like the death squads

Jacob Frey: "To ICE -- get the fuck out of Minneapolis"

I don’t think we talk enough about how impressive it is to compress thirteen PG movies into a single film.

I feel like we could win over every suburbanite to socialism if we pointed out that we’d basically be running the country as a Costco.

I gave Guardian Theater a light coat of relatively fresh paint:

A view of the northern lights from directly below. A few stars peak through the pinks and greens that fork out from the center like a watercolor painting of a synapse

My favorite photo from the last night, with the saturation cranked to 11

I finally listened to an episode of a @murderxbryan.bsky.social podcast, and you can’t convince me that he and Tim Robinson are different people.

I’m really enjoying doodling on the @supernote.com Nomad I picked up

If the taxes I pay on my writing are used to bail out an industry founded on stealing and then replacing my writing, I swear to god, I am going to do so much angry writing

An anthropomorphic rat uses telekinesis to move an old timey elevator down one floor. He then drops onto the roof of the elevator, enters through the emergency hatch, and exits onto the floor below. He encounters muffled voices behind a door and decides to take the elevator back up.

Pronouncing Patagonia the way Casa Bonita is pronounced

I played enough of a game I don’t care about to unlock the ability to play as my favorite childhood action figures in the game I don’t care about.

A Congresswoman calls for everyone like me to be locked up. The world's richest man proposes I be subject to a Nazi medical experiment. I no longer flinch at the sight of the soldiers with assault rifles on my commute. A billboard for AI tells me "keep thinking." One cold brew with oat milk, please

I just want envelope budgeting baked directly into my bank app. Back to YNAB + a regular bank/credit union again…

It's a reinterpretation of Magritte's "Treachery of Images." Here, we've smashed it together with pod racing from Star Wars Episode 1: "Now, _this_ is une pipe." "Now, _this_ is pod racing."
