Why would you do that? I get the point of leaving a button unbuttoned to show off the hand tailoring. But why be so blatant?

This photo accompanying a news story about the heist at the Louvre is perfection.

“Cease fire. Freeze”. Terrifying words in any FDC.

Ok, I figured out what happened. Will make this a thread but TL;DR is some one on the gunline put the wrong time on a time fuze which made the shell function early.

Aside from the general insanity of firing over civilian territory, how could they not have had point detonating fuzes on those shells?

for work I use the phrase "shocking but not surprising" because it conveys both transgression and consistency

I understand this kind of response but also kind of hate it. I think we should be cautious not to overwhelm our capacity to be shocked. Allow yourself to find shocking things shocking and not let them be internally normalized.

You’re shocked a shitty person flys in a shitmobile as the king of shit shitting on America? This is peak GOP

Purdue to the rescue of IU student newspaper, whose institution was attempting censorship. Details in alt!

I'm sure many of you have heard by now that earlier this week, IU k*lled the print edition of its student paper, the IDS. The issue that was supposed to print this week contained criticism of the Whitten regime and IUs further slide into scist control, and they couldn't allow that to happen during Homecoming, when all the rich alumni are in town.
Enter Purdue! The Purdue student paper, The Exponent, owns its own presses. Yesterday, in an act of tremendous solidarity with their biggest rival school, they printed the forbidden issue of the IDS. They then drove it to Bloomington overnight and stocked all of the IDS boxes on campus, just in time for Homecoming.
Solidarity is what makes us stronger, and solidarity will be what ultimately allows us to triumph, if we can ever truly get it together. I hope everyone has a fun, safe day if they're going out today, and I hope we can think about what acts of solidarity we can begin taking to really make this movement MOVE - beyond a permitted expression of upset into more active resistance.

It is true every day, but days like today just are huge reminders that for all it's many and varied faults this country was always great and it deserves better than what it's political branches give it in return

there is a level of baroque insanity to this video that tops every single other thing he's put out in public since 2016

Zoomer Antimillenarian ♨️ @surcomplicated.bsky.social · 2d

The de facto President of the United States has released a video in which he is King of America and uses his royal powers to fly a fighter plane which magically poops all over protesters opposed to his rule.

This makes the Trump Gaza video look sane by comparison.

and another thing: he’s not mad. please don’t put it in the newspaper that he got mad.

I have a million photos & videos from today’s amazing #NoKings in #Portland, but I’m pretty sure nothing will top the frogs dancing to “Peace Train” on the packed Portland waterfront #NoKingsPDX

I’ve seen the t-shirt and blazer thing quite a bit. OTOH, I am in Wisconsin and the vibe tends to be very casual. Guys in polos and khakis, etc.

Not a shitpost: #NoKings is feel-good performative activism for comfortable mostly upper and upper middle class white folks and that’s good, actually. Millions of people in the streets protesting a fascist regime is good. It is good for the normie baseline to be massive displays of public dissent.

First, it staves off apathy, cynicism, and despair.

Second, it demonstrates to those who might use violence against innocent civilians that they would be doing so against grannies, kids, neighbors.

Third, it shows allies and partners that the America they need is alive.

Here is my question, and it’s an earnest one I promise: whose mind will it change and to what end?

I don’t have any answers about what we need to do. But like, we did protests in 2017, and 2020. Among the biggest in NATIONAL HISTORY. Voting in my opinion has a much more direct effect than this.

Richard M. Nixon @dicknixon.bsky.social · 2d

The numbers I am seeing, and the breadth of people and places with basically no arrests and so forth, seem to me an unqualified political loss for them. It is a show of strength rather than the fight itself, but you can’t downplay it.
