I keep thinking about how much political debate is about “this chart says the economy is good” vs. “this chart says the economy is bad" (sorry to put this on blast, will)

very dr seuss here

Keep wondering if Charlie Berens is running for something in WI ... has definitely changed his tone from the usual Midwest jokes lately

Happy birthday to Minnesota's "boy governor" Harold Stassen (for which our Revenue department building is named) -- a reform-minded, internationalist Republican Later in life, he was "always running" for something (per the Simpsons scene referencing him) www.minnpost.com/mnopedia/201...

if a supervillain designed my kryptonite, it'd be this ad ... i know how it sands off all the messy activism and struggle to give a clean, feel-good story, but still ... maybe a popcorn movie version of things is also useful sometimes

the show was a neoliberal fantasy, but how anyone can see Nigel Farage and not see bow tie guy from Years & Years is beyond me

In organizing, folks talk about the "on-ramps" that'll get someone to support justice or fairness One major way is through the church. Here's the message that MN's largest Lutheran congregation, Mount Olivet, gave to its mostly white, very wealthy congregants yesterday vimeo.com/1151983480#t...

ICE vs Ice

beat me to it 😅

asked chatgpt to show me what hell is

it is very odd when your edgy stuff becomes a "christmas concert at the fitzgerald" in any case, really loved seeing my college fav ted leo tonight -- "hush! he's your dad now. this is gary."

randomly watched Paddington tonight w kids and good lord it's a tough watch w everything happening it's like Stephen Miller saw the Nicole Kidman character and thought "how could I have an army of folks just like her"

this guy's pic always has dax shephard-in-idiocracy vibes

we don't need AI when content like this exists

responding to this sort of thing is not an insignificant portion of my day job
