Since Lazarus' season is winding down... I kinda want to see a version of Samurai Champloo that's more 70s/80s butt-rock focused. So basically this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=aoOQ...

You broke it, you bought it. I just wish so many people didn't have to walk on the shards like John McLane to get out. "President Trump appeared to be rapidly trying to get himself back to the middle by insisting the operation was a one-off." www.nytimes.com/2025/06/22/u...

This is all so stupid. In aggregate, more nukes = greater risk of large cities, nations, even the world being smashed to bits and lots and lots of people dying within minutes. BUT It's pretty clear that for nations, having nukes is way more valuable than using them. Even NK realized that.

Over 25,000 people showed up at the MN State Capitol yesterday. Plus the thousands who rallied, marched, and protested elsewhere in the state. Despite being told to stay home. Despite being afraid and grieving. Rather, *because* we were afraid and grieving, we came together and showed the fuck up.

Ok if someone asks you how to prep for No Kings, don't warn them about kettles and tear gas, warn them about the literal sun. "Bring a hat, sunscreen, snacks, twice as much water as you think you need, and flag/sign of your choice. Wear comfy shoes. If your phone is old bring a battery pack."

Remember how mad folks were when Walz sent in the Nat'l Guard at Frey's request to deal with the Uprising. How quaint.
