He’s a West Ham fan, so he’s not smart about everything, but he knows Midwestern history. Give him a preorder!
And just like that, it's real.

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

Emmer is such an embarrassment to this state. What the hell does he think his job is if not to solve problems, both big and small, for his constituents?
Emmer: "There is no problem too large for government to solve and no concern too small for it to care about. That is a direct quote from Commie Mamdani! And it should terrify every single freedom-loving American."
Emmer: "Pro-terrorist, Marxist radicals are now the left's mainstream."

Q: Do you think it would've been fitting to lower the flags to half staff when Melissa Hortman, the Minnesota House Speaker, was gunned down by an assassin?

Obviously adding horns and piano to Turnstile just makes them rule even more (really hope they bring them on the tour, but probably not). Also, Yates doing a stage dive from the desk is perfection.

My show tonight (Clipse) was originally scheduled for the Armory, but got moved to Myth. A venue I legit didn’t think existed anymore.

An absolutely essential read about an overlooked leader of the Civil Rights Movement. I’d learned a lot about Miss Ella Baker from my other reading, but always as a secondary character. This book shows just how primary she was and how much she was doing in the background.
Highly recommended.

Me watching my favorite team:
Two minute timeout.
One yard run.
Measurement.
Official review of the spot.
Six yard run.
Timeout.
Incomplete pass.
16 yard pass. Still 1:16 left it has been like 10 minutes of real time.
And people say nothing happens in soccer.
Also, go Hawks!

PUP and Jeff Rosenstock are best friend bands who just came together like Voltron to be Double Band. Played some of each band’s tunes and closed with this: Alanis Morrisette’s “You Outta Know.” Tremendous.

So with 2 days left in the window @mnufc.com have apparently:
1) Signed an attacking midfielder from Austria;
2) Made a large offer for a U22 wing from South Africa;
3) Made an offer for another wing to OGC Nice;
4) Potentially sold Tani to Spain; and
5) Received a $9m offer for Pereyra.
Wow.
