I still exist, but not in much of the social medias as much. I miss people though.

Is everyone else as sick of the word “quietly” as I am? It’s turned into a flag that the text is almost certainly AI slop. One of the many Blink tags of the AI era.

Whenever I need to truly consider the state of the current timeline, I think about the fact that this is likely the first time since 1963 that neither Doctor Who or Star Trek are in production.

I thought I would never see a movie that wanted to be the 1980 Flash Gordon film more than “Thor: Ragnarok”. I was wrong. Masters of the Universe is that film.

that was roughly what we had in SD46 as I recall; but we're also Peggy's home district. I don't know what it'll be like further out of the metro, I feel like that's got to be very different.

I went to my senate DFL district convention today. Good to get out in my community and talk to neighbors, as I needed that -- as well as local politicans; there are things I like about caucuses, but also things I prefer about primaries, and this basically reinforced all of those thoughts.

Time to say that I'm still alive, and awaiting the end of winter, and how the two recently recovered 1960s episodes of Doctor Who will be available for me to add to my collection.

I find it funny that the fash are saying that "everyone is organised and so people must be paying them" and I think "Minneapolis is full of SF geeks, I'm pretty sure they all at least know someone who's read 'The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress'..."

Conservatives seem baffled by the amount of organization going on in MSP. A reminder that Prince died in the afternoon, and by nightfall the entire city has shut down and turned into a well organized dance party celebrating his life. The only thing bigger than MSP hearts are their brains.

ICE has shot and killed another Minnesotan. A man was killed today because a reckless paramilitary force has been released on American streets against its own citizens. Everyone should be outraged. We need Trump to remove ICE from MN immediately. Stop killing us.

If you’re not from here, I need to explain this execution was on Eat Street, a commercial corridor of restaurants and coffee shops that literally everyone goes to. Normies, queermos, weirdos, neighborhood folks. Whatever that place is in your city, imagine ICE executing someone in cold blood there.

How it How it’s started going

View north on Hennepin Avenue in downtown Minneapolis. It’s black and white, probably from the 1970s from the many cars. The Grain Belt Beer sign is in the distance. Unknown source but I believe it’s a news photo, probably Minneapolis Star or Tribune. Also the Augie’s nightclub sign at left.

meanwhile, Minnesotans are out there doing Christianity on its intended difficulty level: loving their neighbor, welcoming the stranger, feeding the hungry, and comforting the afflicted.
