The refereeing in this game is absolute garbage

Polling roundup: Trump is underwater on 11 of 12 questions about immigration and the LA protests Polls show voters don't like mass deportations or the federal troops. At this point, Trump has moved policy solidly beyond what public opinion has sanctioned.

Standing in line at a flower shop not far behind Danny Glover, my ex asked me if that was Samuel L Jackson 😳

The video from inside the car is even worse. The car keeps driving after running over the mannequin child after blowing through bus stop light like nothing happened

Can confirm

The Indiana Pacers are up 2-1 in the NBA Finals. They've only led for 10.7% of game time (20.6 minutes). Their largest lead of the series is 9.

If anyone organizes an ATProto Austin, I’d be happy to host/sponsor the meetups at my spots

cops doing crime on camera. as @chadloder.bsky.social has been pointing out all day, this is totally illegal. cops doing crime. on camera. adjust your stupid headlines accordingly.

The two clips in this thread are absolutely insane. I hope they’re shown on a loop tomorrow to hammer home how ridiculous this overreaction looks

Cannot stress enough that this is a pitiful action by a weak, scared, pathetic group of insecure, wannabe authoritarians, and they should be mocked until the end of time for wanting to bring in the military over some people protesting them at a Home Depot.

State repression of peaceful protests can subject activists to injury and even death but—when broadcast to the world through media—often turns mass opinion against the state. bsky.app/profile/owas...

Informative thread from the scene of the protests in LA. Seems to confirm protestor injuries from gas, a vehicle, or both

Sincere feature request: a labeler for literally any content involving AI. I do not need or want posts - even from my favorite follows - on this topic ever again, positive or negative, thoughtful or stupid. Just let me Bsky in peace.

note that this completely inverts the public justification for the deportation scheme. they claim they’re deporting criminals, but they deported Kilmar without knowledge of a crime, and now that they supposedly found one they’re bringing him BACK.

1. Hali’s footwork here seems unconventional for a pull-up after seemingly turning the corner 2. This camera really shows the half-beat where Wallace mistakenly thought he’d handed Hali off to Caruso 3. I love that Nesmith just bear hugged him 🫂

THE account of the 2025 NBA playoffs

I had a busy day and can’t follow everything that happened, but I can’t believe anyone who does politics for a living needs to be told this. WTF is wrong with Dem leadership?

Berkeley's NIMBYs on Nextdoor: we must carefully study this zoning proposal to ensure equity for the disadvantaged. Berkeley's NIMBYs on Airbnb: $50/day to sleep in my yard.

Surreal scenes right after this. That’s all *ice* on the ground when it was 86 degrees out
