It makes them look like Milton from Office Space.

Why so many khaki pants? Did their wives get a good deal at kohls?

You can pick up your check and complimentary abortion pills at your local antifa office.

I was once a young boy. I never spoke like that. No one in my circle of friends ever spoke like that.

I’m sorry, who would want this?!?

Is this real? That’s a terrible lineup.

I’ve considered doing this for Minneapolis. Here’s the burned out hellscape I’m dealing with with now.

I live in Minneapolis and there are Antifa everywhere! They drink all the coffee and buy all the good produce at the farmer's market. I saw three of them at the dog park this afternoon. It's pretty scary stuff!

Probably not. I don’t think Trump or anyone else in the administration cares about laws, norms, past administrations, any of it.

I think the purpose wasn’t to show the abuser’s brutality to the abusers. It was to show it to everyone else. Even a brutal autocracy only exists because it supported by regular people.

Wow, now that you mention it the guy at the dog park was wearing buffalo plaid and so was the girl at the coffee shop. Is Minneapolis this predictable?

The new War of the Worlds movie is absolutely horseshit bad. One of the worst movies ever made. But at one point Ice Cube yells "I don’t have alien invasion insurance!" and I can't get that line out of my head.

One of the best threads I’ve read in a while…

If you’re ever in Minneapolis, go eat at Khue's Kitchen. It’s amazing!

While I agree with him, this shutdown isn’t about the deficit.

You’re pretty sketchy. A guy, on a bike, on a bike trail?

Those are great books! It’s nice to know book thieves have good taste.

Did you see someone stealing a book? No you didn’t.

How far away are we from "as a pastor, you should carry a gun during services"?

Robert @robertmpls.bsky.social · 17d

It's amazing to me that these things don't sound absolutely bat-shit crazy to everyone. Like, someone out there is reading that email and thinking: finally a solution to our problem!
