Seriously, I am begging reporters and editors — please at least do a basic Google search of the names of people you’re quoting. It takes a minute and I guarantee if you don’t do it, someone else will and rightfully shove it back in your face.

Have you been dreaming of being the proud owner of a 1990s Japanese fire truck? Do I have the listing for you: bringatrailer.com/listing/1997...

Cannot express enough how much what happened at that meeting three weeks ago has changed things on the ground. Courthouse arrests started within days, then check-in arrests. Worksite raids, once rare, began happening daily. Detention has skyrocketed over capacity. People are going missing.

Did those rowdy bike guys from New York state (?) ever do an analysis of the Ghost Rider bike?

Pope Leo’s first US episcopal appointment, San Diego’s Bishop-designate Pham, a Vietnamese refugee, invites priests and faith leaders to “stand in solidarity”with migrants at courthouse on June 20, as they make court appearances.

Q5 #ParkChat Have you seen any of these unusual beasts in a National Park? We want a pic. Javelina Wolverine Hellbender Burrowing owl Banana slug Vernal pool fairy shrimp White-nosed coati Mountain beaver Great Basin spadefoot toad

Why try to fix a problem when you can make everything worse instead?

NEW: After firing expert scientists on the CDC's vaccine advisory committee, RFK Jr. has named their replacements. The new committee contains many figures known for spreading disinformation about vaccines and COVID including Robert Malone and Martin Kulldorff. This is bad.

user backlash works so yeah, keep telling iNat what you think of their genAI announcement...

Meta has been using an exploit to track your browsing history on Android without your permission even if you use a VPN if you also run Instagram or Facebook on the same device. It's devious and completely illegal ( e.g. violates GDPR ). www.zeropartydata.es/p/localhost-...

This is an interesting story

Some Chicagoans have noticed city workers cutting down seemingly healthy trees. Who is responsible, and why are they cutting them down? www.wbez.org/curious-city...

My photos here are the most comprehensive gallery of surveillance aircraft over Southern California that I'm aware of.

As faith leaders have a crowd take a knee and pray outside the federal building, DHS officers raise their weapons at priests and National Guard members lineup with riot shields against them tonight in downtown L.A.

[Politics, ICE, Inflation, Food Supply] Your food is about to get very, very, very, very expensive, particularly your produce. Running ICE raids through California's agricultural fields will absolutely result in crops rotting in fields and food inflation.

Done! I'm gone, @inaturalist.bsky.social "Looks like you have no observations." Nope, i've got LOTS. but you can't have any anymore, because i refuse to feed them into the genAI slop grinder.

Fuck the "app-ification" of everything. it NEVER leads anywhere good.

The Mayor has imposed a curfew on DTLA tonight. For those who whom might not understand the geography of this city, or the scope of this “violence”… The curfew boundary is *literally* across the street from me… …and I haven’t seen a single ANYTHING. LA IS NOT RIOTING

Nope. I'm out, @inaturalist.bsky.social. Partnering with the devil simply to have it AIsplain to us "how to distinguish different species"? I learned to identify hundreds of plants, animals, bugs, slime molds, etc. with the help of simple field guides. Which are far better than this shit.

Andor is the most relevant series on television today.

Advisory Circular, the only bot that posts about aircraft circling over Los Angeles, is back in action. And with a good first post on its return.

Y’all should be following this account

I inherited a pearl-inlaid Italian accordion in the box from 1929, which belonged to movie star Zelma O’Neal. With the original bill of sale made out to her. It’s in FL right now. I and my kids can’t store it safely. /1

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.

Did ICE call in a fake emergency to the FDNY to give cover to a van leaving full of immigrants? They've done it before and looks like they've done it again. @hellgatenyc.com with the scoop. hellgatenyc.com/fdny-ice-hea...

Amidst rumors of ~50% personnel cuts in the NASA office of communications, NASA is closing many X accounts, including these large ones: @NASAPersevere @MarsCuriosity @NASAVoyager @Commercial_Crew @NASAGroundSys @ISS_Research @NASA_SLS @NASA_Orion

I’m on a day trip to Chicago, and I’m using my unscheduled hour to see the Spider-Man exhibit that @djpatrickareed.bsky.social co-curated at the Museum of Science and Industry. A casual fan, this is filling in so many bits I didn’t understand!

ICE started raiding the hotel they were staying in - interrogating cleaning ladies Good luck housing ICE agents in Los Angeles now

Is that pitcher's hair inspected for extra stickiness? #cubs #reds #mlb
