Writer, actor, professional Creep. Always trying to do better, whether that means listening quietly or taking action. Also tired all the time and fundamentally lazy, so.
Went to the corner candlelight vigil a block from home; about 65 people there, supportive honks from maybe a quarter of passing cars. No idea how many other street corners were filled in the cities tonight, plus regular protests. We can be all right. There’s enough good hearts in the world, still.

In these intense times, it seems apt to say to never post anything, not publicly, not privately, not in encrypted chats or friends-only or ANYWHERE, that you do not want read back to you in a court of law by someone with no sense of humor.
This is a reminder to Me.

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

He’s identified officially by the MPD as Alex Pretti. Prelim searches show him as a nurse at the VA. Have now watched three videos. In all, he’s directing traffic and filming with his phone, no sign of anything else.

People are nervous about watching video, but this one is not of the murder, it's of the lead up, and people need to see it before the spin takes over.
Video before it happens is showing this guy they shot in the head in Minneapolis was just standing there videoing them before and they got out to push him back and then murder him.

Gotta say, it’s gratifying to watch the whole country go thru the same arc Minneapolitan leftists did on Frey. “Hey, those are powerful words! This guy’s based!” “Hey, his actions favor big business and police over people, and now his words are mewling and pathetic! This guy sucks!” Yup.

It does my heart so much good to see how many Twin Cities businesses are closed tomorrow in solidarity against ICE. Yeah, some are because of the weather and just saying that to hop on the bandwagon, but I don't even care. It means "the bandwagon" is still "anti-ICE", which is a damn good sign.

Hey, go vote! Minneapolis and NYC friends, go vote for mayor! Other places too probably, but I know those two. And vote for Good, not just Better Than Worst! Good actually has a shot this year, which is neat and we should take advantage.

Just heard an ad on a podcast for new Converse sneakers that come with airtag tech that stops your kids’ shoes from being lost. That… I’m not clever for seeing dozens of ways that’s bad, yeah? Somebody’s kid is gonna get kidnapped because a pervert remote-hacked their shoes. This dystopia is stupid.

(1/2) There’s a certain segment of the reactionsphere that always, always, reports that a new mass shooter is trans. The fact that, this time, they’re accurate doesn’t mean that they’re correct. Their agenda isn’t honest, doesn’t care about the kids that died.

I’m as delighted as anyone that Newsom is hitting Trump this hard, but we all know not to like him for it, right? Looking good compared to Trump is the easiest thing in the world. Newsom sucks; trans rights, unhoused issues, that damn podcast guest list. Don’t hope he’ll be president, he’s awful.

Aw. We lost Tom Lehrer. No surprise, he was 97, but still. My favorite lyricist of all time. He built the most effortlessly tortured rhymes I’ve ever heard.

I really thought Epstein killed himself. Any conspiracy involved was the guards not doing their required every-half-hour check as he did it. That was the simplest explanation to me.
Nothing like editing three minutes of footage out of security tapes to convince me otherwise. WTF happened?!

Oh wow, they got to me in the poem already, neat
1. Earlier this year, Trump erased transgender people from the Stonewall National Monument webpage, digitally burning the history we helped create.
Now, he's doing the same to bisexual people.
No marginalized group will be safe from the admin's moving targets.
