Goddamn I know the horrors are ongoing and plus there’s brand-new horrors being added all the time but it gives comfort to see folks who have been 100% devoted to MN resistance posting about just like basketball and random stuff
someone posthumously digging through your drive and going “wow, that guy was even weirder than we thought.”
I am shocked to learn this is actually underestimating costs, because it ignores the infrastructure costs.
This video is lowballing it.
if your missile kills one child that is infinity too many
Thinking of songs that have prominent clarinet to show my clarinet-playing kid, I remembered that @themountaingoats.bsky.social have this amazing cover of Blood Bank themountaingoats.bandcamp.com/track/blood-...
What other clarinet bangers do I need to show him?
They sent goddamn DNR Conservation Officers out there in riot gear today. When we say all cops, we mean All Cops.
War profiteering? There’s an app for that
so embarrassing, go measure a bass
I just honestly think this would be so easy, I must be missing something. If there were records kept, there would be days on record in my twenties where I came damn close, maybe even got there.
Perhaps it's no coincidence that I'm sober now
The Elder Millennial urge to destroy your sweater
*Steven Tyler voice*
I do want to close my eyes
I would like to have a snooze
Cuz I’m pretty tired
And I don’t care bout missing things
Jenn's been making complex, thoughtful indie rock since Wye Oak at least, but her solo work is truly astonishing. This record is so raw and vulnerable, so immaculately produced. Choosing The Enemy for the ripping solo but the record as a whole is a triumph flockofdimes.bandcamp.com/track/the-en...
I do not understand. I have been struck with many snowballs and hitherto escaped injury. And I’m not even a big strong police man.
Like all great protest music, the lyrics educate, anger, and inspire, while also being damn catchy. I, the whitest man you know, will be found belting out “I would be Boricua even if I was born on the moon” for hours after a listen. haleyheynderickx.bandcamp.com/track/song-f...
In honor of the new Bandcamp embed feature, here is an ongoing thread of songs I cannot stop listening to.
Cameron’s voice is a one of one, the lyrics are poetry, the production idiosyncratic and perfectly off-kilter cameronwinter.bandcamp.com/track/love-t...
Flawless system
Ok this I like 👇
I actually did not know it was possible for a skating performance to make me cry so I learned something about myself watching it also
Dingle was pretty great, swam in a chilly bay that may or may not have been downstream from a cow pasture
Wicklow Mountains, much majesty
Inishmore / Aran islands (by bike very preferably)
released a music album as a physical zine for basically this reason
happy to say that I put up an artist page on the @subvert.fm alpha today. Well-run cooperatives are a true alternative to capitalist oligarchy and Subvert has all the makings of being one. alpha.subvert.fm/aloysius-the...
A photo of an ice cream machine with a sign reading, "Anything is possible with ice cream." Beneath that is a hand lettered sign reading, "No ice cream".
2026 basically
There is no victory, and yet we have already won. That’s the paradox we are wrestling with now
Invented by people who think art is cool and fun and making it shouldn’t have to be so hard, aka people who have never understood the fundamental purpose of art
The longer a protest goes on, the more likely city cops will be called in to defend “order” (the orderly transfer of wealth upwards). Minnesotans radicalized by ICE but otherwise center-left, take note; MPD has largely stayed out of it, and when they do tap in, it won’t be on our side.
AOC’s biggest problem if she runs for president is that the white men who control our media ecosystem will not so much put a finger on the scale to stop her as an entire hand
it can be done (see: Zohran) but it’s going to be blatant and it’s going to be infuriating
Now stay that way
I know we’re not done, and I know it may all be because it’s pushing 50 degrees here after -20 two weeks ago, but it feels like a good day.
It is objectively correct to keep an eye on the liars and our goddamn guard up; it is also important to recognize that we, the people of Minnesota, met this moment to a world-historical degree, and that we did in fact win something.
