Lots of patches at the basement show, lots of pins and buttons, and then the first band sounds like The Sundays. Good combo!

Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.

A Minneapolis pastor of an MCC church — a denomination rooted in LGBTQ equality — recounts being detained by ICE.
Says an ICE officer walked up to him as he was chanting “we are not afraid.”
The agent, he says, raised his gun and said “are you afraid now?”

per my point about the mercator projection being the root of this whole thing
Why is Trump fixated on Greenland? @sbg1.bsky.social recalls what he told us in 2021: "I said, 'Why don’t we have that?' You take a look at a map...I love maps. And I always said 'Look at the size of this, it’s massive and that should be part of the United States.'" www.newyorker.com/news/letter-...
Why Donald Trump Wants Greenland (and Everything Else)
There’s no Trump Doctrine, just a map of the world that the President wants to write his name on in big gold letters.

Wrote a piece for @slate.com explaining that states have a long history of prosecuting federal officers when they allegedly use excessive force. Federal officers are only immune from such prosecutions when they act reasonably in carrying out lawful duties.
Minnesota Could Prosecute the ICE Shooter. Trump Can’t Pardon Him.
Shortly after an ICE officer shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis, city leaders began looking into whether the officer had violated state criminal law.

According to MPR, Good's ex-husband said she was a stay-at-home mom and an active Christian who had gone on missionary trips. It isn't even clear she was there to protest. She had just dropped her kid off at school.

CBS News has fully fallen, and I hope the honorable journalists left there are looking for quick, safe landing pads. I know the expectation is always “Just quit!” but that’s hard for most normal people to do without going broke. My thoughts are with all of them. This is grotesque.
Tonight on the CBS Evening News, the 5-year anniversary of January 6 got 15 seconds of coverage 25 minutes into the show. The only pictures shown: Pardoned “defendants” marching through DC as Dokoupil said Trump accused Dems of “failing to prevent” J6 while “Jeffries accused Trump of “whitewashing.”

Saw Stranger Than Paradise after a decade or three (and seeing it a dozen times in my teens), and am so happy to report that it has lost nothing over time. If you have friends under 40, it will offer a window into a kind of boredom and stillness that rarely exists. No wonder they smoked.
