has anyone ever read the terms and conditions

So much disinfo

This is true.

LAPD fired rubber bullets at Australian journalist @laurentomasi.bsky.social

If you are #NationalGuard or Active Duty #military and you are being ordered to violate the #constitutional rights of #US #citizens then this is the number to the Gl Rights Hotline. There is support. You don't have to go through with it. 1-877-447-4487

Being heckled by a chipmunk.

Did you know there were feral cattle in Hong Kong living their best lives? Well there are, and one day I will see them for myself.

Part of our latest update to @liznangel3.bsky.social's long-running fundraiser on our behalf. Things are not going well. You can read the entire update here (scroll down). If you can please help. www.gofundme.com/f/a-voyage-i...

Formidable champion of women in medical profession: Elizabeth Garrett Anderson, Britain's first qualified woman physician & surgeon, co-founder & Dean of London School of Medicine for Women, first female Dean of British medical school; born #OTD 1836. Portrait: John Singer Sargent 1900, NPG London

“Tasted a little tear gas— tasted like fascism”

Ed definitely looks like he is plotting his next escape after suffering the indignity of being dangled home in a giant diaper. www.cbsnews.com/news/runaway...

Brava!

Carlos Alcaraz to John McEnroe on how precisely he won the French open: “Honestly… I don’t know what happened…”

I had not previously seen this photo from ICE arrest of @seiu.org president David Huerta. This is how they treat a national figure. Imagine what they are doing to others.

Hell of a photo

When I talk about sports it’s my one chance to be unjust, unmerciful, irrational - in other words, an insufferable moron. Are they down by 1? They’re getting slaughtered. Does this pitcher lose the game for them EVERY time but he doesn’t? He lucked out. Is my hero now a bum? Yes! Bench him!!!!

Trump also promised to deploy the national guard to carry out his immigration enforcement goals, and Stephen Miller explained how that would be carried out: sympathetic Republican governors would send troops to nearby states that refused to participate, Miller said on The Charlie Kirk Show

Tanks being moved into DC. National guard being mobilized in LA. Paramilitary thugs being unleashed across America. It's summer in America and fascism is in full bloom.

Sunday plans: 🖼️ Arnold Lobel

kind of just endlessly sad and grieving that there are so few voices in the public sphere making the basic principled argument that immigration is an affirmative good in every way and the best way for this country to serve humanity is to welcome people who want or need to leave their homes

Why cruise in an engineless sailboat? “We can reasonably suggest that sailing is, in many ways, and perhaps even fundamentally, an ‘aesthetic’ activity. For cruising under sail to be meaningful…it must fit within a certain symbolic framework.” – Jerome FitzGerald web.archive.org/web/20041206...

Whenever I’ve watched LAWRENCE OF ARABIA I’ve been fascinated at how clearly the film completely falls apart after the intermission. Something comparable happens with Shakespeare’s great JULIUS CAESAR. They both feature some good later scenes, but history just left them with nowhere to go…

Like all the Charlie Kaufman I’ve seen, ETERNAL SUNSHINE would’ve been much much better if its cleverness and complication had been cut by half. Even two-thirds. As it is, it exhausts me to a point where I’m dying for it to stop. Then again, most movies are too much movie for me. Less! Less! Less…

After falling asleep during ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND I became oart of the movie. When I used to record dreams I often slipped and called them movies (which they are), and some dreams are both dreams and movies together, but this is the first time an actual film continued into my sleep.

Does anyone here remember the sudden death of WRVR-FM NYC? foursquaremiles.wordpress.com/2017/04/07/w...

Didn’t expect this from Scientific American but here we are. (Article from 2020 but everything still relevant including COVID precautions)

1/ If accurate, this is almost certainly a conflict with the Posse Comitatus Act, which prohibits the use of the military for domestic law enforcement, including the National Guard if they are federalized.

“A peaceful protest, and this is what we’re greeted with. Where’s our right to protest?” As Governor Newsom says, they want violence and a spectacle. Imagine the reaction if Biden sent thousands of National Guardsmen and Blackhawks to Tennessee against Gov Lee’s wishes.

It's going down www.youtube.com/live/_kMsG5Z...

Have national Dems, who claim to want to "win back" the working class, said anything yet about ICE injuring and arresting the head of the SEIU of California? truthout.org/articles/ice...

LAPD STATEMENT: “The protests remained peaceful… without incident…”

This Remastered version is absolutely incredible. It’s so clean and clear. music.apple.com/us/album/i-a...

He craves a civil war with as many deaths on both sides as possible. He’ll be gone soon himself and he hates for us to live on after him. Stay strong.

A father screams for his child from a tiny interview room within a basement waiting room inside LA federal building. The space is not a holding area. No food. No water. No diapers. Those initially detained include a 2-year-old US citizen and a woman with high-risk pregnancy.
