Remembering this post today, as it sadly seems more resonant given my feelings after the most recent tragedy.
I was once the teaching assist for Mahatma Gandhi’s grandson, who passed down to me his grandfather’s philosophy that anger can function like electricity. You can waste it, use for it destruction, or use it for progress and productivity.

Two nights a week at Refettorio Harlem, a nonprofit restaurant and food pantry, chefs turn donated food that would otherwise go to waste into a multicourse dinner that is served to anyone who is hungry. The chef Massimo Bottura said he wanted to “create places where food becomes a connector.”

Minneapolis is MinnMax's home and it's being torn apart by ICE agents with no regard for our rights. ICE is harassing/abducting people of color on a daily basis.

I tried vibe coding for the first time this weekend and failed spectacularly. Which was actually kind of illuminating.

I was reading an article about the cancellation of food aid to Minnesota, and it reminded me of a story about my dad. He was a vet, an organizer and very deeply involved in his church. And one day he stood up and asked a question: “what the f*ck’s the point of having a church?”

FOX: Where’s the protest against the regime that's killing people in the street right now?

Trent: They are doing those today. It’s called the ICE protests

FOX: Are they talking about Iran at the ICE protests?

Trent: No, I think they are talking about the regime that is shooting people in the face

Twitter is the world’s largest generator of CSAM & non-consensual porn by a margin of about 8000%, and somehow… MSM isn’t even reporting on it.

(also includes advice for reporting ‘deepfake harassment’ to police if it escalates to a point where restraining order is necessary)

One of the things you learn living somewhere with cold weather is that communities are safer when ice is cleared off the roads.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

You all have Trump Derangement Syndrome. Stop thinking about and talking about the guy who for a decade now has forced himself into the news cycle seventy times a day, wants to rename everything in his own name, and is trying to put his own face on money. Why can’t you just leave him alone.

Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.
