Mostly organic material and a series of vibrations registering as sound. Abides in the liminal space between the Twin Cities of Saint Paul and Minneapolis, where nothing is quite real and anything is possible. Drums, mandolin. Rarely at the same time.

The universe winds down. That's how it's made.
But memory is everything to lose;
Although some of the colors have to fade,
Do not believe you'll get the chance to choose.
Regret, by definition, comes too late;
Say what you mean. Bear witness. Iterate.

"I think the Democratic base feels like there is a disconnect. We hear you, when you did your 25-hour speech, I was like go Cory, I love this, that is amazing.

And then there's a photo shoot with you with Benjamin Netanyahu, and I was just like, what in the actual fuck? It was heartbreaking."

"What do you have to say about the capitulation that you participated in?"

Cory Booker clearly wasn't expecting the pushback he got from @ivehaditpodcast.bsky.social

Greg Bovino, Kristi Noem, and DHS need to answer for their unchecked attacks on Chicago residents.

ICE is an out-of-control danger to our peaceful communities.

The images from the Sun-Times today speak for themselves.

One of my favorite anecdotes about Drew Struzan is that Jim Henson preferred his work to photography because he could make the muppets look alive.

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

Adult artists and SW having their own money held indefinitely by financial institutions for being considered “unsafe for kids” while tech companies who steal their work to make non consensual pornography from photos of women and children on the internet and get all the VC capital combined.

Cool.

I think nostalgia farming is silly, especially now that I have a 4yo and see the world through her present-day-only eyes.

But going to for-real places where we got our movies and played our video games was something special.

You go to the VHS rental store—not a Blockbuster yet. Attached to a gas station. Run by a guy named Cliff. Adult room in back. There’s only a bead curtain, but you’ll never go back there.

Cliff gives you a Post-it. You write your name on it, stick it to a poster. Your poster, when it comes down.
