Varmints will be playing the Kato Ballroom in Mankato, MN tomorrow night. If you live in the area and want to hear some old school d-beat hardcore screaming a massive fuck you to our unwanted occupiers, swing on by.

That was an extrajudicial execution on 26th and Nicollet. Do not let anyone tell you otherwise. People here have been incredibly restrained considering the violence from the federal government with next to zero meaningful backing from the state and local governments.

"LEAVE MY FRIENDS ALONE!"

My band, Varmints, played a show in South Minneapolis tonight. It was a hardcore punk show giving out free whistles and every band said Fuck ICE between songs. It’s important right now, if you can, to play music and make art that stands on 10 toes telling fascists to fuck off.

People are roasting this but my wife kept setting our house on fire to flirt with firemen and now is going to protests a lot since ICE showed up. I’m posting about it instead of talking to her because of woke hectoring. What a great point. The best points always start with “Ok I’ll Say It…”

Incredible that people have careers based around telling those who are struggling to keep their chin up and not react because "They're clearly [doing worse thing than the last thing] to bait an excuse to [do even worse thing]."
It's a ratchet. You're describing a ratchet. You are selling ratchets.

It’s blizzarding outside in MN so it’s glizzarding in my house. Aka I’m making hot dogs for lunch.
I’m not proud of this one, folks. I’m too old to be saying shit like this.

Love when the seat clamp on a push bike for my two year old is off by a millimeter and I gotta bust out pliers and a hammer to unfuck it. I now understand why my dad was stressed out on Christmas.

Not saying anything about any results today with a North London Derby tomorrow. Gonna go frantically imagine team sheets based on several different “who is fit” scenarios.

“They’re fetishizing the commodities, folks!”
they're saying there's a spectre haunting europe and it's very nice, we're looking into it strongly, it's beautiful, we love it and we think it means well

Give everyone in Ireland the day off tomorrow for Troy Parrott day. Holy fucking shit.

It says a lot about the Jets that most fans are actively celebrating that the owner is in the Epstein emails because it might free this team from his dogshit ownership. Like “thank god this owner did the worst thing, we might make the playoffs in two years and we don’t need a Commanders rebrand.”

I warned my band if they didn’t get their shit together on the album art there would be 7 year old memes as placeholders. Check out my bandcamp: varmints.bandcamp.com

Today’s Jets game was an all timer for bad QB play and bad in-game management by a coach. Given how the Jets have been absolute ass for most of my life, that is saying something.

As someone who somehow never saw either movie, 1978’s Invasion of the Body Snatchers and 1981’s Scanners are two absolutely perfect movies to start the 2025 Spookie Season.

Watching the latest episode of Alien Earth and when Timothy Olyphant’s character had a streaky sticky white substance all over his face I blurted out “BUSTIFIED” like it’s 2012 and anyone knows what I’m talking about.

Nothing like realizing my Napalm Death shirt probably will turn some heads at the children’s library as a pull up. Drove back in a different shirt as my 21 month old daughter and I rocked out to Napalm Death.
