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

#ESA #EuropeanSpaceAgency #50years these look great! #coins

Definitely need the National Guard to quell this... insurrection of... line dancing?

for context here’s a map of greater Los Angeles and the protest is the roughly the red circle

Give the photographer the Pulitzer Prize

Just stacks of boxes of ammo behind these guys

Hexagons aren't always MQ-9s, but in this case, yes, there are two MQ-9 Reapers over LA today. Just ridiculous.

If you played an instrument back in high school and stopped: we are in a golden age of decent cheap instruments. The guitars are better, the amps are better. The pedals are cheaper, the wind instruments are actually instruments and not just shaped like them, etc. Jump back into it.
