Hey all! Reminder that my debut feature film, Gleahan and the Knaves of Industry, is available in a bunch of places!
An opportunistic jerk joins the quest of a delusional man who thinks he lives in a fantasy world. They team up and fight crime. Fun stuff!

In last week's election, Kris Eilers unseated incumbent Annie Harala on the St. Louis County Board. I was pleased to work with the Eilers campaign as a client through @BattlemageFilms.
We made some great campaign videos with Kris that offered a down-to-earth contrast to the other ads this cycle, many of which seemed to me like all flash and no substance. I'm proud of the work we produced and I hope we can do more great work like this: youtube.com/watch?v=tqCormsq…

I have long said that we need AOC to run for President to capture the energy of America's youth. Now is the time: Sign the pledge and let's draft AOC for 2028! readyforaoc.org
AOC is the only candidate who can lead the working class movement to fight the oligarchy and transform America. We’re organizing across the country to build the grassroots support we need to win in 2028. Go to ReadyforAOC.org to sign the pledge.

On Tuesday, Democrats flipped:
At least 43 House seats.
At least 7 Senate seats.
At least 5 governorships.
At least 500 state legislative seats.
With more races still to be called.
This is what happens when you invest in state parties: You can win anywhere.
Ken may be a sonofabitch but what's also true is that he wouldn't be caught DEAD capitulating to the "controlled opposition" crowd. He's gonna push every Democrat to take this power we've won and DO SOMETHING WITH IT.
THAT'S why his critics hate him. They want us in panic.
Not long ago critics called for his resignation. This week, DNC Chair @kenmartin73 delivered Democrats their largest victory in 50 years.
Martin told me those critics have yet to reach out with congrats but said he's unconcerned as the DNC prepares for 2028 and beyond.

One thing you can count on Ken for is that he'll ALWAYS go to bat for the party's duly endorsed / nominated candidate.
Make no mistake: There is only one choice in the Michigan U.S. Senate race, and it’s Abdul El-Sayed.
ALT A black graphic with white text reading, "Statement from DNC Chair Ken Martin: Haley Stevens’ disappointing decision to endorse Mike Rogers, a Trump ally who would join Republican efforts to sell out working families, is a betrayal of the values of the Democratic Party. At a moment when Democrats are united in fighting for Michigan families and standing up to Trump’s agenda, we reject these efforts to sow division within our party. We will not allow last-minute political stunts to derail our momentum and we will triple down on our efforts to elect Abdul El-Sayed on Tuesday."

Sam Altman literally wants people to download RAM, one of the oldest Trojan horse scams on the web.
Ridiculous.

Not that I’m surprised, but there’s a disturbing number of Harry Potter costumes in downtown Provo

I settled with my landlord a little over a year ago, then I got a lucky break and moved out.
Don't leave repairs up to the courts like I had to. Duluth won Right-To-Repair a couple months after I settled this lawsuit.
St. Paul can have this relief too. Get out there and VOTE!
NEW TODAY: With the help of @DanSuitor, my brother and I just filed a settlement with the St. Louis County Court to end a lawsuit against our landlord, Bob Swanson. /🧵

Obama's endorsement is a fine pull but it doesn't hold a candle to Talking Directly With The People You Want To Vote For You.
Amy, I know you have the capacity. Just knock some regular people's doors. Please. I'm begging you. You don't have to make this so hard.

I love my country, Minnesota. Natural beauty, multiculturalism, & bottomless solidarity. We got trans babes, Somali moms, church ladies, & average Joes looking out for each other.
Yes there is hardship & poverty. The cops & every mayor suck ass.
And I would die to protect it.
PSA: For the sake of our trans siblings, you need to stop caring about Harry Potter.

Listen. If the Vatican starts funding film production like it funded cathedrals a thousand years ago, I'd do it in a heartbeat. Sure, I may be Lutheran but the Catholic Church is way more chill about other denominations now and we're basically the same, right?
In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

Like, if the Pope called a crusade on AI and drew the battle lines at "Art," I'd sign up for the front lines in a heartbeat.
