In Iceland they offered crispy fried onions on the hot dogs which I quite enjoyed.

The same kind you'd top a green bean casserole with.

Commissioned Music, by Blixa Bargeld 16 track album

A close runner up is another Blixa Bargeld joint, his sparse & haunting take on "Somewhere Over the Rainbow"

Cover songs are one of my guitly pleasures, but my absolute favorite cover song is Teho Teardo & Blixa Bargeld's take on "Hey Hey My My"

Why is the Minneapolis Affordable Housing Trust fund, that all residents pay for, only available to developers and not to residents especially in emergency? Also think about who would crash out if we even suggested we all had access to a fund we pay for.

You still gotta impeach β€˜em, jail β€˜em, generally grind their bones to dust and suchlike.

Klob taking, and repeating, the words of this regime is the 87,927 reason she needs to not be governor or senator or anything in power.
Also, Amy, we said abolish ice.

[From Wikipedia] Catbus (Japanese: ねこバス, Hepburn: Nekobasu) is a fictional character in the Studio Ghibli film My Neighbor Totoro, directed by Hayao Miyazaki. It is a large, grinning, twelve-legged cat with a large bushy tail and a hollow body that serves as a bus, with windows and seats covered with fur.

Here we see Catbus with a manic expression on their face as they zoom out of the sky and across the landscape leaving behind a Catbus-colored (tan and brown striped) streaking trail of jagged letters reading β€˜Maybe it will happen today’.

We will bring a selection of games from our collection, or you can bring one you’d like to play as long as you’re willing to teach others. The event will be very casual, drop in when you can if you want to hang out and play some games.

The photo shows a selection of games from our board game collection, including Dice Miner, This Game is Killer, Camel Up, Draftosaurus, Just One, Spots, Look at the Stars, Avengers Love Letter, Star Wars Love Letter and Happy City.

Secret of Mana! 😍

Or maybe Seiken Densetsu 2 if you're on Super Famicom?

I was obsessed with that game in middle school & it's such a great game to replay every few years.

@governorwalz.mn.gov @amyklobuchar.com

At the caucuses my resolution opposing data center construction was adopted unanimously, almost before I finished reading it. There is no business case for generative AI, there is no social utility to AI, and every normal person knows it.

The thing that sticks with me, as I look out upon these Works and despair, is the rancid memory of so many white Americans eagerly embracing this world, and bringing it into being simply because they refused to see through any other lens than that of white supremacy and their own comfort.

This is fucking weak sauce.

The Democratic position needs to be that the illegal war must end immediately & that Trump must be impeached, removed from office & convicted.

there is no metric by which this is true. even 2028 primary polling (which is meaningless in general but seems like a fair yardstick here) doesn’t have him on top.

just a brazen attempt to impose him on us by the rich and the commentariat.
