So... for any of you bored enough to want running commentary of the International Communication Association Conference #ICA25 I'll be telling you about some interesting bits relevant to #propaganda. First up I'm at a panel on censorship, freedom and control chaired by @jesperstromback.bsky.social

Air is clear and streets were fine to walk, lots of folks about and saw only one pair of cops just standing on a street corner #ica25. Keep an eye out tonight, but things seem ok now

Two arrests last night’s ICE Out! protest in Denver. Police blocked the march, then used tear gas and pepper bullets.

near Union station in Denver (@ XIV). cops have set off what seems to smoke bombs & tear gas at a small cluster quiet of protestors. We’re evacuating a roof top bar, people at this #ica25 reception are throwing up, streaked w/ tears & seeking refuge inside. If you’re in the area, get inside.

This looks like an 80s comedy where John Belushi & some stoners steal a tank for shits & giggles

I do wonder if someone was actually having a joke here. Was this deliberate? Surely?

Thank you to @heidicuda.bsky.social for including my comments in this insightful article, Hot Type: The Dye Is Cast, a column on events including Trump's spectacle using soldiers as a backdrop for political propaganda 1/

Incredible. And the spectacle is all the more jarring to watch go ahead in the context of this morning's political assassination.

Do you know how badly you have to screw up as a Republican to get this kind of turnout in IDAHO? #NOKINGS

Trump looking absolutely inconsolable at his fascist-themed 79th birthday party which no one turned up to other than those who had to because he's their boss.

And there it is. The Minnesota assassin who shot Democratic lawmakers “voted for Donald Trump and was a strong Trump supporter,” according to his best friend.
