Testing out pinksky with pictures of Scooter.

Minneapolis Poet Laureate doing beautiful work.

Alright, which stupid podcast bro is telling people to optimize themselves by running in just shorts and shoes in zero degree weather? Seen enough to consider it a trend.

Surely there’s a German word for the feeling of being simultaneously unsurprised and disgusted when a morally reprehensible billionaire flashes an unambiguous nazi salute.

We have reached the “rub my belly” phase of this too-cold-to-play-outside day.

Scooter is trying to lick the frost off the balcony door, which is frozen shut. It’s good to have a project today!

Sick of people calling everything in crypto a Ponzi scheme. Some crypto projects are pump and dump schemes, while others are pyramid schemes. Others are just standard issue fraud. Others are just middlemen skimming off the top. Stop glossing over the diversity in the industry.

Me, to a younger co-worker several years ago: should I be on TikTok? Younger co-worker: definitely not. It’s hard to fully communicate the look on her face in that moment, the unexpected intensity and condescension of her bemused horror and pity that said I would never understand. I believe her.

There are worse ways to spend a freezing hibernation weekend than watching OK Go videos, starting with their new one. I can’t help myself - I love their schtick.

Fun to see everyone reminiscing about Mitch and Los Enchiladas! I was lucky enough to work on that set as a young PA and it was an incredible experience.

I was never that big a Fugazi fan, but the bass player and drummer also have a punk-infused jazz band called The Messthetics! The record they put out last year with James Brandon Lewis on sax has been 100% what my ears want the last couple weeks. Ridiculously good!

Post your Lock Screen

Can we make 2025 the year realtors stop rebranding neighborhoods? There is no SoMi, the neighborhood directly west of the West Bank is not “East Town”, and whatever Downlo… just… enough.

Resolving to abandon my evidence-based pessimism in favor of a “flaming dumpster is half full” outlook and just decide 2025 is gonna be great. Happy New Year!

Now I want a Toshi biopic.

Really sorry to hear this. Senator Dziedzic was a reliable, effective voice for Nordeast, and her leadership held the legislature together to actually get stuff done with the DFL trifecta last year. She will be missed and remembered for a long time to come.

Would love to see the Vikings give local artists a primetime platform in that publicly funded stadium. Booking Vanilla Ice for the halftime show just feels kinda lazy and pointless. Is he really more popular in 2024 than any number of great MN acts?

My end of year listening summary mostly reveals that I was super lazy about making a workout mix and just threw on the same Japandroids album for every gym session. #WorkedOutOftenEnoughToSkewMyMusicDataBrag

Where will people go now to kick off a night of bad decisions?

In the wake of the 2024 election in the U.S., many people are concerned about their digital privacy. EFF has decades of experience in providing digital privacy and security resources. Here are the top ten resources that we think are most useful right now 🧵 (1/13)

I get that when police use it to track an assassin it sounds to many people like a feature and not a bug, but cities really need to do more to protect people’s data privacy.

Feeling re-energized after a Thanksgiving vacation well-spent. Grateful for our spectacular #NationalParks

Amplifying for my literally dozens of followers. The new Guante album is special, full of words and ideas that bounced around in my head for the rest of the day after listening, in the best way. Highly recommend!

Vikings scouts seem to value “saw ghosts while playing for New York” above many other more obvious QB qualities. What the heck, we’re winning with Sammy D, so… skol Daniel Jones, I guess!
