We feed you. They hunt us.

Damn 😶

ruthless

If you are an academic institution that has a dismissed ACIP member- it is time to grow a spine. Not speaking out will not spare you from this administration, but speaking out will at least shed light on what is happening to people who are not aware.

The Lord of the Rings films are older than ICE. The Matrix is older than ICE. Legally Blonde is older than ICE. We're not talking about a venerable American institution. We're talking about post-9/11 Patriot Act overreach. Claw that power back. Destroy ICE.

California Assemblyman Isaac Bryan says the National Guard is blocking people from attending their immigration court hearings. But if they don’t attend their hearings, they are flagged for removal.

Or having their workers deported

America is so fucking good at propaganda you have no clue how good we do that shit. The best to ever do it

yesterday @ollicrusoe.bsky.social asked me if I wanted some raw pork next week and I didn't even think to make a sex joke out of it which is how you know I am tired and disoriented

Anti-ICE protesters in Long Beach briefly took over stretches of Ocean Boulevard near City Hall but have since moved out of the street. They're calling on the Long Beach City Council to invest millions more in an anti-deportation fund: lbpost.com/news/immigra...

I hate worrying whether friends are kinda over me or if they're just going through it or if I've been doing the adhd thing where I'm being a bad friend due to the time blindness/object permanence issue or whatever it's called and they're just matching energy I don't realize I'm giving and ahhhhhh

to be fair to The Dauphin, it did give us this gift of a scene 🥵🤌🏻

Similarly, "bean bag rounds" are typically filled with lead shot, not plastic. They can fracture your skull and kill you. After I got hit with one in 2020 (thankfully in the leg), an Austin Police Department officer acted surprised there was metal inside.

Thousands of people marching through Lower Manhattan now demanding ICE get out of New York City.

I would love to see orders of magnitude more discussion about what "swing voters" should figure out, deal with, suck up, get a clue about, etc and orders of magnitude less discussion about how protestors should coddle random third party's hallucinations about this section of the electorate

The average American upon encountering a righteous civic action resulting in the most minor delay of their plans:

I want to be the lap cat rn 🥺

the other sad thought I had is I see more neighbors experiencing homelessness in a single morning back home than I have seen in italy ever. homelessness exists here too but the level of destitution is simply not comparable. some mornings on my way to work I see a dozen people. a dozen. in 1 morning

anyway sighing loudly at what america could be like

guess what I was thinking about during the semi-nightly videocall

to be clear processione is also used for when cities carry the statue of their local saint around so there's also that later

when italians do word play it really hits. frocessione = frocio + processione = fag parade

Star Trek TNG, S2E8 8: a solid scifi yarn about cross-cultural understanding S2E9: one of the greatest scifi stories ever told, plumbing the depths of what it means to be a person & the nature of being S2E10: do you want to see Mädchen Amick wear a sexy little bodysuit and babysit a werewolf?

who wants to marry me in absentia lol

This is one of the funniest Montana legal idiosyncrasies

New from 404 Media: Delta, United, American etc don't want you to know they sold your flight data to DHS. The country's airlines sell bulk names and flight itineraries to DHS to be searched without a warrant. Contract tells DHS to not reveal where this data came from www.404media.co/airlines-don...

The conference I'm here for is discussing questions about AI and authenticity in translation and I'm relieved to discover most of my peers are deeply skeptical or are doing research to assess whether replicability is even possible when studying LLM-produced texts + fighting off ethical nightmares
