Real world: - Trump team trying to create a Reichstag moment. - Trump telling military audience that LA is hellhole full of "animals" - Officials in Calif trying both to calm things down, and stand up PUNDIT world: - Is it smart politics? - Is Gavin running? - Doesn't Trump look strong!

“Dee-ah-but-ees?”

Reporter: what will your response be as mayor to ICE? Mamdani: the actions of ICE are unconstitutional and I will oppose them Cuomo: residents are concerned about ICE, but also public safety Eric Adams: I’ll tell you something about Darkwing Duck, no one can hate a man in a fashionable hat

Trump, talking at Fort Bragg right now about Los Angeles, is doing something I'm not sure I've ever seen a president do: he's actively maligning people in Los Angeles — an American city — in front of U.S. troops. And the troops are applauding. As an Army brat myself, this strikes me as very new.

We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.

oh weird why did the clashes turn violent?

Now look, I can’t say this email from ATF is intentionally designed to foment fear but I can’t not say that either.

The proper way to protest ICE is to wait until they actually put their hands on you then you yell OPPOSITE DAY and now they have to come live with you

@dannyodwyer.bsky.social I’m just happy to help

Ken is right, per usual — the amount of hate that’s out there for LA is striking

@lucyjames.games That's a really hard job and you did **great!!!**

We don’t need to back off the American Gestapo and we don’t need to respect its agents. People exercising state violence are not entitled to anonymity. Nor are the people directing the state violence.

Those alien bastards are gonna pay for shooting up my France

when i joined bluesky two years ago people joked that it was a posting retirement home for 38 year olds but this place has undergone such massive change since then, like the average age is now 40

Where can I read Musk’s bullshit without being on the other site?

Weird they're showing Swan Lake on Fox right now

If you’re overstimulated, please report to the Bluesky cooldown tent where we have orange slices and someone who doesn’t understand the concept of jokes waiting for you

It’s your day today friend

Actually, this isn’t true. No such play or movie was ever produced.

@jeffgerstmann.com Thanks for reading my MMO email. I can't believe I forgot about Warhammer Online! That was Mythic Games first (and only?) post-EA acqusition joint that was supposed to be the heir to Dark Age of Camelot.

An excruciatingly long, mass trauma even that everyone, especially the government, seems desperate to memory-hole.

if it takes years, has to be consequences for all these people, and even more for those who gave the orders.
