You know what, let's do the Annual Mister Global National Costume thread tonight after all. Usual rules apply - this is all in fun, this isn't about the contestants looks or making fun of them, it's about the costumes and appreciating them (or, you know, making fun of them...)

I have fucking had it with the edgelord leftists who quote post my shit with incitements to violence, like I'm sorry either you're the fucking feds or you're somehow even dumber than they are.

the frogs & the wine moms are doing 100x the work y'all are by dooming and posting nonsense.

Sunny Moraine @dynamicsymmetry.bsky.social · 15h

Like I know there are edgelord leftists out there who look down their noses at shit like No Kings but sorry you guys, the more mass protest looks fun and family-friendly, the bigger it gets and the better its chances of being broadly effective

Abolish ICE.

Feds arrest one person at the Portland ICE facility at around 7:30. The reason is again unclear, but it was likely for stepping over the blue line. They were dragged into the facility by five agents while one filmed.

it'd be pretty cool if @govpritzker.illinois.gov did something about this 🤷

Troopers just violently attacked protesters, tackled several, several arrests, shoving activists and press with batons.

not the main point, but this guy is such a horrible speaker and so bad with crowds that he pauses and weakly chides the audience in a way that extends the boos and his own misery as much as possible. pretty beautiful.

Yesterday I was told that the class I’m scheduled to teach this month, Confronting Oppression & Injustice, is no longer part of our curriculum. This is a required class yet there was no discussion, no faculty vote, just an email saying the class no longer exists. This is what it’s like in Texas now.

If you think you know why US newspapers died, this feature documentary now streaming for free on PBS might surprise you. It wasn't the Internet. Newspapers were specifically targeted by vulture capitalists.

I composed the score for the film, which features electric cello & Crowfoot guitars.

Stripped for Parts: American Journalism on the Brink

A handful of journalists rebel against a hedge fund that is gutting newspapers nationwide.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”
