Das fasst den Tag ganz gut zusammen: Der Staat hat sich auf die Seite des Faschismus geschlagen.

Die Polizei ist komplett entfesselt! Sie kennt keine Zivilisation mehr: Schädel-Hirn-Trauma, offene Brüche, sehr viele Krankenwagen danach. Die Polizei ENTZIEHT den friedlichen Demonstrierenden sogar den Schutz. So ist ein Auto in eine Menge gefahren!
Das Ganze muss ein Nachspiel haben!

In Gießen knüppelt die Polizei den Weg frei, damit eine rechtsextreme Partei ihre Jugendorganisation neu gründen kann, die sich aufgelöst hatte, weil sie so rechtsextrem ist, dass sie sonst verboten worden wäre.

Es ist ziemlich eindeutig auf welcher Seite die Polizei und damit der Staat steht.

Hier behindert die Polizei die Arbeit der Presse in #Gießen, indem sie sich immer wieder vor den Reporter stellt und versucht das Sichtfeld zu versperren.

I don't think there is a god, but if there is, they just arranged for me to blearily blink at the two JWs in front of my door while I was wrapped in just a towel. They buggered off immediately, sparing all of one of my tirades.

Yay coincidence/providence.

Well, if it’s 26 November, it must be the 139th anniversary of a divorce case so saucy and notorious it gave us the phrase “what the butler saw”, and newspapers suppressed some of the details of the domestic servant in question’s testimony because it was “unfit for publication”

I'm in no position to receive mail like this, but this thread is both amusing and sad to me. Crank-watching has been a firm favourite among my time-wasting activities for decades, but much of the amusement was based on the *obvious* crankery. I don't like that AI helps them polish the crazy.

I am by no means a prominent public intellectual, but my inbox is increasingly filled with messages from people who have been convinced by sycophantic chatbots that they have discovered revolutionary theories that entirely upend our scientific understanding of the universe.

And the opposite of the "time magnifying glass" is the "Zeitraffer" – the "time gatherer" (gathering in the sense of gathering fabric together).

I thought the earlier news from A&M was bad, but this is incredibly bleak. It’s close to the point of not having a functional university.

Message to all faculty: your expertise is no longer trusted or valued at this so-called “university.”
A thread by an A&M professor describing how the new rules will impact faculty. Syllabi must be fed into AI to be checked for content not aligned with approved syllabi; students will be encouraged to report faculty for inaccurate content; and young people are now being told they get to decide what a professor should teach.

This is ridiculous and stupid. It's a Johnny Cash lyric and was posted about a Johnny Cash article. Even the most basic reading comprehension would have revealed this.

I feel like I'm being protected by a vicious guard tortoise that occasionally hisses a few minutes after a car goes by.

I adore this comic and everything @rosemarymosco.com does with all my heart.

But also: I'm more mystified by the people who wonder about this. I never see ANY baby birds of ANY species unless something has gone very badly wrong for them. Where's all the baby [~]? In their nests, mostly above you. 🤨

Baby pigeon mystery.
My pigeon book is here: www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/rosem...
A six-panel comic. In panel 1, text says "People often wonder, why don't I see baby pigeons? Here's where they're hiding:" and there's an egg with an arrow pointing to a question mark, then an arrow pointing to an adult pigeon. Panel 2 says "Pigeons don't nest in trees. They nest in sheltered spaces on or in buildings. This keeps their babies safe from weather and predators." There's a pigeon nesting in a sheltered cavity in the side of a building. Panel 3 says "The hidden babies look like this: like moldy potatoes, but cute" and there are two baby pigeons looking, well, like moldy pink and gray potatoes with yellow fuzz. Panel 4 says "Older baby pigeons hide in plain sight. When they leave the nest, they're adult-sized, but they're still young and learning" and a fledgling pigeon is flying out of a building saying "aaaaaa". Panel 5 says "Here's how to identify these young pigeons" and shows a fledgling pigeon with arrows pointing to these features: eyes may be gray-brown, pale-edged feathers, smaller "nose" (cere), subdued hues, and looks worried. Panel 6 says "Scientifically speaking, though, all pigeons are sweet babies" and there are three very cute round pigeons, a gray, white, and red one, with arrows pointing to them to make things look scientific.

Is it maybe time for a plucky little nation to tell a despot across the ocean to pound sand?

Someone could make a whole musical about it in the end. How about it?
