From a friend in Minneapolis:

“I don't know if this is making it out of the Signal chats, but basically every three or four blocks tonight there's a gathering of a half dozen or a hundred people holding a vigil, strengthening neighborhood connections, singing, crying... two out of every three passing cars honking or yelling in support... The whole damn city is going to fight this.”

Big “Mattingly! I thought I told you to trim those sideburns!” energy here.

Can confirm @jamesrg is an excellent GM! If I had more time right now, I’d take him up on his offer in a heartbeat. I might not be able to, but if you can, don’t miss out!

Carter remembrance posts are the ultimate barometer of somebody on the left’s politics:

- “A great president” = Centrist
- “Fuck that guy” = Dirtbag Leftist
- “A bad president, but maybe decent person?” = Progressive

My brother wrote about death and Nancy Meyer's most misunderstood film: The Holiday. Yes, it's my brother, but damn this is a good piece of film cricism:
