I have an EP coming out, and I crammed as many southern MN musicians onto it as my grant would allow. It's a mix of pop/jazz/pop rock/funk (with a little prog snuck in there too) It'll be available at katbaumann.bandcamp.com on Nov 6th, and I hope people enjoy it 💙 I already wanna make another one!

The front cover of my upcoming EP "Upbeat Songs to Grieve to," featuring a black and white photo of me, a slender white lady wearing a thrifted black dress with cunty sleeves and a black veil with my dark, curly hair obscuring my eyes as I cradle a rubber chicken and stare mournfully at it.
The photo was taken by my friend and longtime bandmate Scott Rahe, who also plays drums on the EP.

I am a fiscal year 2026 recipient of a Creative Individuals grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board. This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation by the Minnesota State Legislature; and by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.

Old proverbs said： A glory death can’t be worthy than a suck life. I just feel the same energy from Jimothy. 老话说：好死不如赖活着。 Jimothy正是如此顽强地赖活着呢。「命あっての物種」て言う言い伝えがあるじゃないか。それはJimothyにピッタリな話だと感じます。

Córy Doctorow with another verbal bullseye: pluralistic.net/2026/01/13/n...

I'm sorry. As a technology writer, I'm supposed to be telling you that this bet will some day pay off, because one day we will have shoveled so many words into the word-guessing program that it wakes up and learns how to actually do the jobs it is failing spectacularly at today. This is a proposition akin to the idea that if we keep breeding horses to run faster and faster, one of them will give birth to a locomotive. Humans possess intelligence, and machines do not. The difference between a human and a word-guessing program isn't how many words the human knows.

I'm sorry. I know that when we talk about "digital sovereignty," we're obliged to talk about how we can build more data-centres that we can fill up with money-losing chips from American silicon monopolists in the hopes of destroying as many jobs as possible while blowing through our clean energy goals and enshittifying as much of our potable water as possible.

My gosh. Alex Pretti was notifying neighbors that Trump and Vance's agents were chasing a family. A mob of agents then tackled him and broke his rib. He thought he was going to die. Then the very next week, he came back out to support his neighbors. And a mob of agents killed him.

The earlier incident started when he stopped his car after observing ICE agents chasing what he described as a family on foot, and began shouting and blowing his whistle, according to a source who asked not to be named out of fear of retribution.

Pretti later told the source that five agents tackled him and one leaned on his back – an encounter that left him with a broken rib. The agents quickly released him at the scene.

“That day, he thought he was going to die,” said the source.

Minnesota sees the writing on the wall—they’re chipping away at our constitutional rights in plain sight, seeing how many rules they can get away with breaking. If we fall after what we all saw happen, they’ll know they can get away with more and worse violations across the country

I wish we had a POTUS who was urging everyone to stay safe in the forthcoming storm and reassuring us that FEMA and other fed agencies are working in full force with local teams to respond to this monster as it rolls across the country. But no. Instead Trump & Co. are busy terrorizing 5-year-olds.

Pick up the nearest book. Turn to page 42 and post the second sentence. “When it became clear that he could not win, Conkling had made sure his votes went to Hayes, not because he liked Hayes, but because he hated Blaine.”

I wish folks outside the US could wrap their brains around the fact that our state-controlled-media is intentionally suppressing news about resistance. They are choosing not to cover protests. Listen to the people, not corporate media.

RIP Drew Struzan - a man whose talent and imagination etched onto so many minds throughout the last 40+ years. His art & posters are some of the first visuals I think of when I think about cinema - an invitation to watch these stories and worlds. A massive loss 💔
