Last day of hanging out with my wife before we add a third member to our family. This was the first meat raffle I entered and also my first win!

I recently moved to an area of Minneapolis that is half city/half suburb. The appetite for AIPAC funded candidates is much higher out here :/

In his 2004 book, The Anatomy of Fascism, historian Robert Paxton identified the passions that had animated fascistic political cultures over the previous 80 years. These may sound familiar.
eelings t
hem "mobilizing passions":
• a sense of overwhelming crisis beyond the reach of any traditional solutions;
• the primacy of the group, toward which one has duties superior to every right, whether individual or universal, and the subordination of the individual to it;
• the belief that one's group is a victim, a sentiment that justifies any action, without legal or moral limits, against its enemies, both internal and external;
• dread of the group's decline under the corrosive effects of individualistic liberalism, class conflict, and alien influences;
• the need for closer integration of a purer community, by consent if possible, or by exclusionary violence if necessary;
• the need for authority by natural chiefs (always male), culminating in a national chieftain who alone is capable of incarnating the group's historical destiny;
• the superiority of the leader's instincts over abstract and universal
reason;
• the beauty of violence and the efficacy of will, when they are devoted to the group's success;

Probably not the best guideline for taking mental health seriously, but my “depression check” has always been if I am down enough to think Radiohead is a good band. The answer has always been a resounding “no.” Onward we go.

Please attend this if you want to get involved. We learned about tools, tips & resources to deal with the government entity currently terrorizing our city. If anything, attending this training a couple weeks back made me feel less alone.

I don't give a fuck what insipid slogan Democrats come up with about ICE. they are not coming to help the people or they would have by now. The ordinary people of Minneapolis have done more for our rights over the past week than elected Democrats have done in decades

If you want to put back statues and memorials and names of Confederate traitors while tearing down museum exhibitions on slavery because they don't show the greatness of the nation... the nation whose history you're celebrating is whiteness. The kind of nationalist you are is a white nationalist.

From Hunter S. Thompson’s ESPN page 2 column one week after 9/11.
We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time."
Generals and military scholars will tell you that eight or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history - which is no doubt true - but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a wartime economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed.
That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks.

Immediately upon sitting down on my train to catch a show in the city a woman next to me starts a phone conversation where the topic quickly shifted to AI, I hate it here

Listening to Aphex Twin made me feel like even I, a middling at best musician, could pull out the synth and drum machine again. Music is fun.

We have a bunch of bootlicking weasels representing us under the guise of being on “our side”. This is nothing new. They are not for us, they are not representing our interests.

Why does every old video of Bjork fiddling with synths and studio equipment have her and the equipment laying on the floor? They don’t have tables in Iceland or what?
