Sorry but this is the funniest headline I will read all year

Hunt continues for thieves after priceless jewels stolen in heist at Louvre museum in Paris - live updates France's Culture Minister Rachida Dati says the incident happened as the museum opened this morning.

Reading the BBC live updates on the Louvre jewel heist in reverse chronological order is a wonderful time you can have right now www.bbc.com/news/live/c6...

the degree to which the NYT has become an institution not just uninterested in reality but actively antagonistic to it still manages to shock me every once in a while

two shout-outs here:

1. "Portrait of a Thief" by Grace D. Li is a great book about a group of Chinese-American college students who plan a repatriation heist

2. I know Gina Rodriguez is problematic but this was the whole plot of the Netflix "Carmen Sandiego" remake and it was really wonderful

increasingly of the opinion that stealing Big Famous Jewels from big famous institutions is kiiiiiind of a victimless crime, guys

doug emhoff's law firm cut a deal with trump to provide him 100 million in pro bono law services and eliminate all dei initiatives. seven partners resigned, doug emhoff did not 💙

One of my least rational beliefs is that if you pull off a heist without hurting anyone or getting caught within a day, that's your stuff fair and square.

As said before basically unemployable weirdos are disappearing people who work the jobs that make basic society function

A Border Patrol agent in Round Lake Beach on the morning of Friday 10/18 tells the person filming his license plate, "we change plates out every day."

The war didn’t stop. But your donations did.❤️‍🩹
My children are still hungry.
Our nights are still filled with fear, not sleep.
I lost my home. Please don’t let me lose hope too.
This isn’t about politics. It’s about staying alive.
Don’t scroll past our pain.

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

unironic enthusiasm is poised to make a comeback and i am here for it

Heard about the Louvre jewel heist and my first thought was “finally, some good old fashioned normal crime”

seems that RFK is clearing the path for his CDC to do tuskegee syphillis experiments as a matter of course. in other news, RFK is a genuine monster who relishes in the pain and suffering of those he feels he has control or dominion over

What kind of self-respecting thieves drop the crown? I'm downgrading this from a heist to a caper.

I'd never vote for Rand Paul, but on this issue he's absolutely correct. This is a clear and profound distinction. No declaration of war. No evidence of crime. What Trump & our military is doing is mass murder. It's no different than any mass-shooting of innocents – just with bigger (military) guns.

Call it a state-organized tax strike. Call it fiscal disobedience. Tell me it’s illegal. I don’t really care. The law, which is now Trump’s preferred fascist tool, is not justice and is not binding when its founding social contract is disregarded. We must stop paying for our own fascist subjugation.

Threads post by gambleganders: Hey, looking for Antifa 800# so I can find a Civil Rights Attorney after my arrest at the Fairhope, AL No Kings protest. Anyone have those digits?

For those asking after the woman who was arrested for wearing a penis costume to a No Kings protest in Fairhope, Alabama, @gambleganders.bsky.social says she was released after being charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.

I told her I bet Bluesky could find her a lawyer!

Dismantling the Institutional Review Board (IRB), that oversees all human subjects research, is bad. Really bad.

I believe that it’s a thing that should just happen periodically

Just checking in on Current Events (am in car on the way back to Maryland) and I gotta say, I think it’s very cool that we still live in a world where there are Daring Museum Heists, I think that’s dope as hell

Tactics and actions mean different things in different contexts: there is no objective list of things to do!

Every individual's contribution is invaluable, and no one person is 'necessary'. We need all of us, but a movement that cant survive people stepping back when they need to is already doomed

There are no rules, and anyone telling you there are is likely ignorant and/or trying to control you.

We build sustainable mvmt through following our desires, not guilt or self-identification as "activists".

Pleasure is extremely important, we need to live NOW, there is no "after the revolution"

My instincts boil down to:

Just do things! You already know how to get started!

Remember mvmt history but don't repeat it. Lift tactics where applicable. Try to make new mistakes!

Thank god most people have seriously different priorities and energies from me! Because I don't have all the answers

international journalists asking the french police why they are having a two hour lunch while the thieves are out there and the police explaining the thieves are likely also french so will also be having a two hour lunch

I think some of the people on social media sneering at the No Kings protesters are just mad that those normies with signs are way better shitposters than they are

look demonstrate for trump if you want to but i draw the line at property damage (destroying our proud city streets with your face)

Yesterday's No Kings protests were apparently the largest since the first Earth Day in 1970

The NYT covered that story with a six column headline across the top of the paper and two full pages inside

Today, two small pics below the fold and a story on page A23
