Going to be a big summer for middle aged men with heat pumps and solar panels.

Just like the Covid crisis switched the entire world to Zoom and work from home, a lasting Iran oil crisis should switch the entire world to electrification.

Impeach and remove Donald Trump and use the Defense Production Act to make affordable electric cars and charging systems everywhere.

It's a good thing we don't need oil for many core parts of our daily life anymore. It's time to finally enter the 21st century and expunge fossil fuels from our economy once and for all.

Price of Crude Oil WTI (USD/Bbl) over a five-year period, spanning from 2021 to early 2026. The chart shows a significant price peak in 2022 reaching over $120, followed by a general downward trend with various fluctuations, eventually hitting a low near $55 in late 2025 before a sharp vertical spike to the current price of 90.900. This recent surge represents an increase of +23.880 (+35.63%), highlighted in green text above the blue line graph.

The real insanity isn’t how much oil prices have spiked, it’s that we’re still burning oil for energy.

Use the Defense Production Act to produce an electric Geo Tracker and be legends

Brownish-yellow winter weeds, bare trees, and a foggy patch of lake.

A two-tiered pond on a gray day. The top part is still frozen. The bottom part has thawed.

All that spooky foggy atmosphere on a lake. Pure gothic gloom.

Inject this shit right into my veins

Blue circle logo with the words “We keep us safe” and “Mpls” set off by stars on either side of “Mpls.” The inner circle is split into 4 quadrants by lines; top left is a whistle and top right is the back of a mobile phone to honor observers & interveners; bottom left is a grocery bag to honor those engaged in mutual aid; bottom right is a protest fist but in a winter glove.

Design in first image in blue, on a white “ringer’ t shirt with matching blue collar & sleeve trim.

Hated to lose the protest mitten, but too many people clocked it as a boxing glove. I think the new “protest winter glove” will amuse those who get it while not confusing others. Shirt production next week, once I firm up link to Minneapolis Public School mutual aid; families receive proceeds.

Proof that cats are liquid

23% is way higher than I was guessing

(deleted my speculative post about lower numbers; I should have researched before, sorry)

A house at night with Christmas decor still up. Window has a huge NO ICE lights display (red cross out circle in lights over the word ice in blue lights)

A 3x3 grid titled "Is it a library? Alignment chart". Horizontal axis categories: Contents purist: Must contain books Contents neutral: Must contain information Contents rebel: Can contain anything Vertical axis categories: Curation purist: Must be managed by a professional librarian Curation neutral: Must be curated by someone Curation rebel: Can be managed by nobody Examples represented on the grid: Curation purist, contents purist: New York Public Library is a library Curation purist, contents neutral: A newspaper archive is a library Curation purist, contents rebel: A school information commons is a library Curation neutral, contents purist: A home bookshelf is a library Curation neutral, contents neutral: A Spotify playlist is a library Curation neutral, contents rebel: A zoo is a library Curation rebel, contents purist: A street library is a library Curation rebel, contents neutral: A PC downloads folder is a library Curation rebel, contents rebel: A junk drawer is a library

It's kind of funny that as he ages, Trump looks increasingly like the Disney Hall of Presidents robot from 2017 that I'm still convinced was originally a Hillary robot that had to be hastily refashioned after the election.

This is a graph of the death of US science.

And the supporters section with the massive rebel loon flag!

FUCK ICE chant just broke out during the moment of silence at the start of the Loons game

ICE has not left Minneapolis. Our neighbors are still being taken by masked secret police.

This is the last time you could sit at that light on snelling and Cty B and not wait 13 minutes

This is the correct response I think. Willing to become fluent in French for this to happen

If Minnesota seceded, what would our national anthem be?

Honestly Tim Walz's response to this should be like, effective immediately all Minnesotans federal income tax payments will be put in a Minnesota-controlled escrow fund on behalf of the federal government and be released once this shit ends

stop calling us nazis just because we are invalidating IDs and rounding people up based on their skin color and putting them in concentration camps and sending them off to foreign gulags and using all that nazi imagery and banning books and dont forget about all the pedophilia. so just stop alright

he could use state funds to replace the federal medicaid dollars trump is withholding

Stop pre-negotiating. Stop telling voters they have to sacrifice minorities and the marginalized to have a chance of winning. Stop telling voters to settle, to not ask for everything, to be reasonable. Don't be reasonable. Demand the world. The world belongs to us. They don't have more right to it.

This is it. Way past time for everyone in this country - literally everyone - to find practical ways to support trans people and immigrants, this regime's primary targets.

Starting right now, find something practical to do to actually help people.

Minnesota right now is both incredibly strong at the neighborhood and community level and absolutely beat to all hell. And kind of broke. People are close to eviction and other people are digging deep to help them.
Cutting off Medicaid to this deeply hurting population is so cruel and vengeful.

When my home state makes the news, seems like it's always for something heinous.

So. Is Tim Walz gonna let HCMC close too??

Talib and Omar walked out.
