One of the things Gremlins 2 got extremely right was letting the audience knew these kind of thorny lore questions existed and then essentially going 'if you think that's hard to believe, check THIS out,' and leaping off the deep end. Gremlins 3 better not try to make sense.

And it's really worth noting that the gov accounts over on Twitter are *encouraging* the assholes to come here. Federal government is literally trying to brigade a smaller social-media site. Going to really get to fully enjoy Bluesky's nuclear block.

Went looking for the loophole, and it kind of feels like this is going to end up applying to all big tech under an AI exception, leaving smaller companies to bribe Trump directly to get their needs declared critical for national security too.

Without downloading any new images, where are you mentally?

The fact that this gif isn't showing up EVERYWHERE in Our Current Times is proof it was criminally under-viewed.

I've spent the past day trying to figure out what this guy's picture reminds me of, and it's literally just this:

If you see this, post a castle

The resulting Jerry Post:

A lot of the soldiers in vehicles were waving and seemed enthusiastic to the crowd. I choose to believe he's specifically angry at these two, who definitely were not interested in his strong man BS.

And honestly it looked like some of them were trying to show enthusiasm *for the people*, not for the propaganda. I have no idea who these two are, but them choosing this gesture in that atmosphere felt like it was for us, not Trump.

This is horrific and I'm trying to articulate the very important thing it's showing us about who the people doing these horrible things really are.

I can't word it properly, so I'm just throwing up this Discworld quote:

Overheard from everyone at Bondi's DOJ.

If Trump talking about throwing citizens into El Salvador's prisons is supposed to be intimidating, it's not really working.

I'm just pissed off. Upset, but pissed off. I've spent the past three months living this Mrs. Davis gif.
