Hey twin cities, perfect day to burp your house.

I clearly do not post enough. I also reject the label that indicates I build anything with Crypto. I do not fuck with that.

Here’s the situation in the Twin Cities:

Random Bovino-style tear-gassing: Way down

Relentless persecution of immigrants: Unchanged

Thuggish violence against observers: Way up

Screenshot of a question posted to quora: "Why do older people not like putting spaces in file names when saving documents?"

Just put me on a flaming raft and push it out to sea.

Seeing that another Republican went on a big show and claimed that Minneapolis is burning, and I just desperately want everyone to treat these lies with the instant alarm and disdain you'd offer if they said, "The moon is made of cheese and I'm building my own rocket to eat some."

I know this is said out of justified frustration, but the Twin Cities is still exceedingly awesome. Try as they might, these chuds have not reduced the fundamental character one iota.

While the harm caused is immeasurable, our resolve is infinite and our community stronger. We're gonna win.

Hunt for Red October.

Shoulda been the national bird.

Packed classroom with purportedly 4x the attendance of 2024. Not as raucous as others, but went to 10:15. Strong Anti ICE sentiment, but we somehow managed to pass resolutions to both reform and abolish ICE 😵‍💫.

Given the rules it was difficult to point out that these are mutually exclusive.

Please let Stancil back into the Signal chats so he can spend his time annoying ICE and not posting.

I wish these were real because I could just send them in response to meeting invites or slack questions.

Guys, it’s fine. It’s probably DNS. Or BGP. Or us-east-1

Frankly, the entire Internet is made of duct tape and popsicle sticks held together by bubble gum and string and it’s amazing that anything ever works at all

Right, a single video of a single protester frustratedly kicking an inanimate object was sufficient to muddy the narrative some. Imagine what would happen if protesters adopted violence more broadly? Would it benefit us?

It’s the incredible restraint of our heroic observers that helps us win.

I'm gonna get roasted, but ice cream. I only want like two bites of my wife's. I never want a whole thing.

To be clear this is not my preference. But no one else is running as far as I can tell.

If I had to call my shot here, Klobuchar wins governor, Peggy Flanagan wins the primary and general for Tina Smith's seat, and Gov Klobuchar appoints Angie Craig to her former seat.

One of the many things that must suck about being an ICE agent is having all the coolest bands from your teenage years correctly calling you a Nazi.

Wild that there was an open lane called "what if we just explain things clearly to people?" and he's the first one to ever fill it

I will believe that ICE enforcement has changed on the ground when I stop getting daily notices that armed, masked goons are circling my kids’ schools and trying to sow fear in the parent patrols.

i stg i’m going to be writing him in for governor at this point

sorry stancil, it’s your time dawg

Apparently this is a new account that just posts the coolest people in the Twin Cities.

i have just gotten off a productive call with sauron where i laid out our requests

- nazgul bodycams
- morgul knife must remain sheathed unless suspect is determined to be carrying the one ring
- shelob will be the new point of contact

Here’s the deal, they captured my face standing outside of my kid’s preschool in a high-viz vest. The database is going to be so big it’ll be useless. Employers will ask why you aren’t in the database and unless you explain you were doing mutual aid, the people hiring will think you’re a bad person.

Like a full half of MN households just have this shit on hand. Probably 90% of households with kids who do winter sports. The other 10% just didn't get to Costco this weekend

Hero.

Anyone who starts a fire is working for ICE whether they know it or not.

Stancil for Governor
