Trying to find a bit more peace every day. Reminded I'm alive by the pain of supporting Minnesota Gopher sports, Timberwolves, England soccer, and playing Soulsborne games. Live vicariously through my dogs. Naz Reid.

Maybe hating on dick bosses is the great unifier, the thing that brings all Americans together.

Elon Musk isn’t stupid, he’s a intelligent and perceptive businessman whose lucidity and ability to accurately assess the world are increasingly declining due to a combination of innate personality traits such as arrogance, being trapped in an epistemic bubble, and excessive drug use.

Elon, I hate to break it to you but you aren’t my boss. I answer to the people of Minnesota. But since you bring it up, I spent last week fighting to stop tax breaks for billionaires like you, paid for by defunding health care for moms and babies

Just saw a thread about a guy calling into cspan saying his diabetic supplies increased from 5 dollars to 80 dollars and somebody in the comments, probably multiple people but I stopped reading, replied “FAFO” and I can’t stress enough how much you need to stop doing that shit

This is the ultimate dick boss move from Musk - except he isn’t even the boss, he’s just a dick.

A practical suggestion: if you're in any kind of job where you may be asked or told to do things you can't ethically or legally do, figure out now what your line is, and what you'll do if it happens. Don't be the boiling frog.

We deserve it.

If your life is terrible, just remember the Rockets announcer has to quietly sing "let's go rockets"

This is the opening line. We are blessed having Britt cover the Wolves

Houston don't wipe those floors. Sorry, Brooks.

Every day like living in a damn blender.

It is going to be not only worse than you imagine, but worse than you can imagine.

#Today, while at the #museum, we took the time to #photograph this #cabinet. Not #revamped. Just a #reminder of where the politics of fear and envy lead, when mixed with false prophecy. See alt text for more. Also why we departed #twitter

Bill Guerin’s gonna get a bunch of people to storm the NHL offices to have the result overturned.

Disappointingly feels like when the Gophers beat the Badgers.

Sure, laugh at the French Third Republic, but it lasted 69 years, which is longer than the US lasted as a universal suffrage liberal democracy.

Enough with the rationalizations and excuses: the Nazi salute is not a troll, and it is not an accident. The neo-Nazi movement is alive and well, and some of the most powerful people in our country have now actively embraced it.

I feel so sick. Enough with the lies, enough with the games. They know exactly what they're doing. This is a neo-Nazi movement. Proudly so. The only reason they've kept it coded up until now was to take advantage of those who didn't want to believe it. No more looking away. Face up to what it is.

Democrats should promise to collect the $850 billion from Apple in 2029. Be the barrier troops. Make them more afraid of their own cowardice than upholding the law.

Trudeau actually pummeled a right-wing opponent of his in a boxing match several years back. He should challenge Trump to a similar fight. www.youtube.com/watch?v=XuSp...

Got to eat at Sakai's restaurant in Tokyo about ten months ago. Bucket list item for your boy.

I survived England v. Argentina during the Falklands as a small child. Not doing the much higher stakes USA v. Canada as an adult.

Starting to really think this is what is shaking out.

When his heart inevitably explodes or he predictably fails to return from a K-hole one night, we are in for some conspiracy theories that will make the fever-dream Scalia death or Seth Rich murder nutbaggery look like See Spot Run.

Stephen Miller putting arsenic in Elon's ketamine.

Vance and others close to him are setting up the intellectual basis for American withdrawal from and hostile rivalry towards the EU based on the claim that a democratic Europe has betrayed an authoritarian vision that Vance presents as the epitome of "Western" civilisation.

Every day like living in a damn blender.

75% of my life was telling jokes and drinking beer with friends before Shitburglar here and his buddies came to power. You've always been able to do those things without pillaging society and debasing everyone that isn't you.

Support walkable cities and making fun of Ilan Wurman:

Anyone in or around Minneapolis with an old tuba want to follow U of M law professor Ilan Wurman around campus to appropriately protest his fashy opinions on birthright citizenship?

AOC is currently the de facto leader of the Democratic Party.

Let the historical record state the S&P 500 was up 24bps on the day Trump declared himself King.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

A moral stain on all of us
