One great thing about the late Minneapolis restrauteur John Rimarcik, besides coming up with the long-lived Annie's Parlour in the first place, was he left up the signage from a previous tenants of the building, Art Materials, Inc. (and maybe even Perine's books?). Pouring one out for a real one ...

Harvard Law School’s Jack Goldsmith:

“In short, if the Post’s facts are correct, it appears that Special Operations Forces committed murder when the ‘two men were blown apart in the water, as the Post put it.’”

11:19 14 in shot, i the Post's facts are correct it appears that Special Operations Forces committed murder when the "two men were blown apart in the water," as the Post put it. It is unclear from the Post's Seporting precisely what role Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth

a lot of words, none of them denying that Hegseth gave an order to kill helpless people who were stranded at sea after he blew up their boats
As usual, the fake news is delivering more fabricated, inflammatory, and derogatory reporting to discredit our incredible warriors fighting to protect the homeland. As we’ve said from the beginning, and in every statement, these highly effective strikes are specifically intended to be “lethal, kinetic strikes.” The declared intent is to stop lethal drugs, destroy narco-boats, and kill the narco-terrorists who are poisoning the American people. Every trafficker we kill is affiliated with a Designated Terrorist Organization. The Biden administration preferred the kid gloves approach, allowing millions of people — including dangerous cartels and unvetted Afghans — to flood our communities with drugs and violence. The Trump administration has sealed the border and gone on offense against narco-terrorists. Biden coddled terrorists, we kill them. Our current operations in the Caribbean are lawful under both U.S. and international law, with all actions in compliance with the law of armed conflict—and approved by the best military and civilian lawyers, up and down the chain of command. Our warriors in SOUTHCOM put their lives on the line every day to protect the Homeland from narco-terrorists — and I will ALWAYS have their back.

Thread of places to buy cool things from cool people where I can attest to the quality having actually bought stuff from them (& in some cases I know them). Neat, right? I'm vouching for them, I guess. Recommending them. I tend to plug things here & there, but why not a thread? 🧵

I usually refrain from buying anything on Black Friday, but I really needed some coffee from Aldi. It’s my fault that capitalism is still running today.

Donald Trump incited an insurrection on J6. He should never have been able to run for public office again. What a failure of justice to not hold this man accountable.

Post-Thanksgiving naps result in soft floppiness and quiet little peeks at you

A soft gray and orange tortoiseshell kitty lies curled up on a blanket, but her head is turned upside down to look at out at us with her green eyes. She looks very comfortable after a nap.

The Minnesota Star Tribune continues to degrade its print product at a breakneck pace. Here is a front page story centered on an architectural/historical landmark ... with no photo of the subject of the story—even on the jump page. The online version is appropriately illustrated.

By Eva Herscowitz The Minnesota Star Tribune NOVEMBER 25, 2025 AT 6:00AM| The South St. Paul City Council voted Nov. 3 to demolish the historic Armour Gates, a relic of the city's stockyard days.

Those texts are saved.

News tip for Black Friday: EVERY YEAR Traditional Media touts the dollar value of sales on Black Friday, and EVERY YEAR they say it's a record. Only - IT NEVER IS! A few weeks later the true sales figures will come out, and they never reach the reported levels. This happens every year

I just found out why parking lots are so huge.
It’s because a couple of times a year
all the humans want to go shopping
together.
Isn’t that wonderful?
A big shopping party!!!
(you’d think though
the humans would be more
