Score! I’ll be in Medora photographing the July 1st POTUS visit with the press pool. My girls surprised me by getting a room at the brand new 1883 hotel so we can enjoy the afternoon together!

Does @DougBurgum have a couple of extra tickets for my girls to attend the main event?

So many haters in the comments. A couple of vocal anti-AI purists, sure - but mostly people repeating the same line: “It’s copyright infringement. What did you expect?”

Let’s get a few things straight.

1) Disney and the state of Star Wars.
Disney has been running this franchise into the ground for years. Meanwhile, fans are the ones keeping it alive. From a pure business perspective, fan content actually fuels interest in a half-comatose franchise that might’ve been buried already if not for the community. These videos keep the conversation going, keep nostalgia alive, and keep younger audiences engaged. There are entire channels producing high-quality AI-assisted Star Wars content - SkywalkerStories, Star Wars Stories Untold, Star Wars: Lost Legends, to name a few. They’re far from banned. All using AI. Go check them out.

2) I make parodies.
Parody falls under fair use. Yes, in practice that’s hard to defend, and platforms like YouTube often avoid nuance. But by the logic of people saying “you deserved it,” no one should ever joke about anything involving someone else’s IP. That’s absurd. YouTube is full of parody — AI or not. That’s not some fringe loophole; it’s a core part of internet culture.

3) The real issue: rules must be clear and applied consistently. If a platform has policies, they should be transparent and enforced predictably. Otherwise, we’re in corporate roulette territory - any channel can disappear at any time. That’s not how a healthy creative ecosystem works. Even Donald Trump had his channel removed at one point. If that can happen at that level, what protection does a small creator have? You build your business for years, and then it gets eliminated with a finger snap of a corporation overlord.

This isn’t about entitlement. It’s about consistency and fair process. Anyway, here is another one of my AI-slop videos. Enjoy.

@McDonalds - how in the world is your Bismarck Burnt Boat Drive dining room not open at 6:30 am!!?

Took this photo this morning at the North Dakota Capitol. If you look closely, the flowers at the top form an "M" for "mom". Wishing every mom out there a happy Mother's Day!

Elizabeth now has her own press credentials. Any newsrooms hiring? She’s got an unlimited supply of Girl Scout cookies! Maybe @GovArmstrong has an internship in his office?

Playing softball with my girls well after sunset.

You'll be hard pressed to find a better Governor than North Dakota's own, @GovArmstrong. And that concludes the 69th Legislative Session in North Dakota.

And yesterday is what kicked off the baseball card fun. Took the world’s best Girl Scout with to Bismarck’s Sports Cave for #ToppsRipNight. A random kid went up to my daughter and told her, “Enjoy!” Handed her our first ever auto. Very cool moment. #ToppsSeries1

[K-Tech @ndakkyle]

I have no doubt Elizabeth will be North Dakota’s future governor. I also feel really sorry for everyone who turned her cookies down today. She’s making a list. 😂

[K-Tech @ndakkyle]

Big day for our girls!

Taking my daughter this summer to the Beartooth Mountains in #Montana and #Wyoming for an amazing backpacking and fishing trip with some other dads and kids in July. This is one part of Montana I've never explored. Any tips?

Happy New Year North Dakota! #NYE2025

@TQPurdon @_birdsofwar My hometown + my aunt was Miss Norsk Hostfest and my great great grandfather was responsible for bringing the state fair to Minot. A lot of magi blood on this side of Highland!
