iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Every social theory undergirding Trumpism has been broken on the steel of Minnesotan resolve. The multiracial community in Minneapolis was supposed to shatter. It did not. It held until Bovino was forced out of the Twin Cities with his long coat between his legs.

The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesive—because of its diversity and not in spite of it. Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority. Minnesotans have preserved everything worthwhile about “Western civilization,” while armed brutes try to tear it down by force.

Guy on IG yas a video of himself skating a park hip in one of those micro-vests with a caption over the video that asks “Why do so many skateboarders dress like bums?”

It’s the fourth annual SSOTYs (Skateboarding Stories of the Year), an effort to catalogue and celebrate some of the best skateboarding-related writing in the year that was 2025. Happy reading. www.simplemagic.ca/ssoty-skateb...

Skateboarding? Check. Urban Planning? Check. Referring to not one but TWO skaters as "Dr."? Check. Aside from video games and Bosch, this story I wrote, on how skateboarding revived an urban plaza in San Francisco, hits all my buttons. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/b...

A San Francisco Plaza Was Down and Out. Then Skaters Moved In.

Bought some emergency vulcs yesterday because I’d forgotten my skate shoes and it was a fun trip down memory lane but I also bruised my heel bailing a ledge trick.

Amidst all this Wolves/Thunder discourse: nobody from the state calls it “Minny;” you might just barely get away with it referencing Minneapolis.

“Are my new pants too provocative for school pickup?” is a real thought I had just now.

New Balance releasing an old head pro shoe for an old head pro skater, with a traditional media-based rollout, could mean, probably for the first time ever, that they think skating’s target demo is no longer someone in their teens.
