one of my favorite superbowl memories was the time I lightly criticized one of the commercials on twitter and some ad executive had like a seven tweet crashout in my mentions

The Jurgensen-Brenner double act on CBS local news was always a delight, no matter how invested in football one was.

another controversial food opinion: I was hanging out with some Wilmingtonians on my wife's side of the family today and was reminded that the scrapple bloody mary at Kid Shelleen's Charcoal House and Saloon is one of America's greatest culinary achievements

my contribution to olive discourse: I haven't had them since I was a kid but yes, they are perfectly cromulent on tacos; also good on pizza but I am a psychopath who likes green olives on pizza

my most polarizing food opinion is that I like pepperoni, green olives, extra mozz

I was today years old, I am sorry to admit, when I learned dildos can expire. Just one more glorious thing you learn in the struggle against fascism and hey, can a dildo be said to have outlived its purpose when it can still be chucked at an ICE goon?
At Whipple where expired dicks are being thrown at ICE vehicles and those believed to be agitators. The area has been a place of protest since thousands of federal agents arrived in the city.

ICE has grabbed so many people from their vehicles that there are abandoned cars across Minnesota.

This tow truck driver returns the cars for free as a public service, and he’s been getting death threats.

They hate the helpers.

Which is why must keep helping.
Twin Cities tow truck driver returns abandoned vehicles to families after ICE arrests
Juan Leon sends a "chase" car to check out where abandoned vehicles are located and arranges discreet drop-offs. Since late December, he estimated they have dropped off 250 cars.

By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet

The man cooked with this one.
SEN. OSSOFF: “.. why are roving gangs of masked men — who look like they couldn’t pass the Army physical exam — dressed up like pretend Delta Force operators, on our streets, demanding papers, dragging people from their cars, and shooting people to death?”

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”

What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.
