He was making a pop culture reference. Therefore, I move, that in a modern Romeo and Juliet retelling, Tybalt should be named Garfield."

Jeopardy answer: "A literate spider on a farm sends messages to her non-Japanese friend who is obsessed with Japanese culture"

Jeopardy contestant gets the right question, which is "What is 'Charlotte's Weeb?'"

The words "FIX YOUR HEARTS OR DIE" placed over David Lynch's face (a still from TWIN PEAKS THE RETURN).

I feel like we have the opportunity to turn David Lynch's quote into this moment's "Keep Calm and Carry On" and it's a far better rallying cry too.

Ending Medicaid in order to build concentration camps. I feel, as always, there should be some kind of nonstop barrage of ads across America, every Democrat on every platform saying something like “Republicans want to end Medicaid in words to build concentration camps.”

A government ban on Hungary’s Pride parade backfired Saturday as over 100,000 people marched through Budapest, far more than usual

PM Viktor Orban warned people to stay away, threatening “clear legal consequences.” But the warnings only turned a modest event into a mass rally against his government

Manufacturers and data center operators better get used to Europe-level electricity prices, because that’s maybe a best case scenario under the latest Senate BBB. Looking like a 50% or greater tax increase on clean energy development at a time when demand is skyrocketing. Truly self-defeating.

This is the truth.
And the truth is the only thing that shall set the Democratic party free now.

I found the most incredible graph on the other site

1) I just heard Richard Chamberlain passed, so I’ll share the time an actor absolutely handled me as a director, and that actor was Richard Chamberlain.

@PawlowskiMario tweeted: BREAKING America, one Signal message at the time. This one incident exposes the core truth— MAGA isn't playing 4D chess. They're not masterminds. They're amateur clowns with nukes. They accidentally added a journalist to a top-secret war ops chat. Let that land: the Defense Secretary of the United States sent classified strike plans over a fucking group chat. Not military-grade encryption. Not secure DoD channels. Fucking Signal. And the MAGA cult? Still pretending they're the strategic masterminds running some shadow war. No. They're shallow, stupid, paranoid idiots who only look powerful because of chaos and fear.

I can’t put this insanity into words any better than @mariopawlowski.bsky.social did here…

If they truly believed they were saving America they'd be celebrating in the streets, not canceling town halls and hiding from their constituents.

The flu kills thousands every year. The vaccine lessens the severity of the flu, preventing serious illness and death.

This action will cost lives.

Madness.

@totalzackward.bsky.social Looking back at old pictures including the time I ran into you at E3 and you were kind enough to get a photo with. Thanks for being you.

1. Introduction to Martial Law What is Martial Law? Martial law is the temporary imposition of direct military control over civil functions or the suspension of civil law. Governments may declare martial law during emergencies such as natural disasters, war, or civil unrest. However, misuse of martial law can undermine democratic rights and civil liberties. Legal Foundations of Martial Law: In many countries, martial law can only be declared under specific conditions and often requires approval from the legislative branch. In the United States, for example, the Posse Comitatus Act limits the use of federal military personnel in enforcing domestic policies. Potential Misuses of Martial Law: Throughout history, martial law has been misused to consolidate power, suppress dissent, and restrict civil freedoms. Citizens should be aware of their rights and prepared to respond to unlawful declarations of martial law. 2. Historical Examples of Martial Law - United States (1863): President Lincoln suspended habeas corpus during the Civil War. - Poland (1981): Martial law used to suppress political opposition, leading to mass protests. - Philippines (1972): Marcos declared martial law, leading to human rights abuses. - Myanmar (2021): Military coup imposed martial law, sparking international condemnation. - South Korea (2024): President Yoon declared martial law in response to escalating tensions. [Read More](https://www.csis.org/analysis/yoon-declares-martial-law-south- korea

3. Understanding False Flag Events A false flag event is an act committed to appear as though it was carried out by another party, often used to justify extreme government measures. Historical Examples: - Reichstag Fire (1933): Used by Nazi Germany to consolidate power. - Gulf of Tonkin Incident (1964): Led to increased U.S. involvement in Vietnam. 4. Citizen Response to Illegally Declared Martial Law Legal Actions: - Consult constitutional lawyers and civil rights groups. - File lawsuits to challenge unlawful orders. - Document human rights violations with time-stamped evidence. Community Organization: - Build local support networks for food, shelter, and information. - Establish safe meeting points and alternative evacuation routes. - Organize peaceful protests and advocacy campaigns.

5. Why Decentralized Networks Matter In times of crisis, especially under martial law or internet blackouts, centralized communication channels may be censored, monitored, or shut down. Decentralized networks allow for peer-to-peer communication, protecting privacy and ensuring information flow even when traditional channels are compromised. **Setting Up Now is Crucial:** - Pre-install decentralized apps and tools. - Familiarize yourself with offline communication methods. - Establish local communication groups using decentralized platforms. Recommended Platforms: - **Briar**: An app that uses Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, even without internet access. [Briar Website](https://briarproject.org) - **Mesh Networks**: Establish local networks that bypass centralized control. - **Serval Mesh**: Designed for disaster scenarios, allowing phones to communicate without infrastructure. [Serval Project) (https://www.servalproject.org) - **goTenna Mesh**: A popular off-grid communication tool using small devices that pair with smartphones. [goTenna Website](https://www.gotenna.com) - **TOR & VPNs**: Mask identity and evade government firewalls. - **The Onion Router (TOR)**: A highly secure browser that anonymizes internet activity. [TOR Project] (https://www.torproject.org) - **ProtonVPN**: A widely trusted VPN service with a strong commitment to privacy. [ProtonVPN](https://protonvpn.com) - **Mastodon**: A decentralized social media platform that allows users to communicate without centralized servers. [Mastodon Website](https://mastodon.social) - **Session**: A decentralized messaging app with end-to-end encryption. [Session Website](https://getsession.org)

6. Emergency Actions Checklist - Stockpile essential supplies (food, water, medicine). - Back up important documents and store in a secure location. - Establish encrypted communication channels with family and community. - Know your legal rights and how to contact civil liberties organizations. 7.

🚨 Stay Prepared, Stay Empowered!

We’ve created a Citizen Guide to help you navigate extreme situations like Martial Law- not to alarm, but to inform. 🌐💡Again - not sounding an alarm, just informing.

Print it out or save it offline so you can access it anytime, even without the internet.

This should work out just fine, don’t you worry

IMPORTANT REMINDER:
All six of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s children have been vaccinated.

Not only is RFK Jr. a longtime anti-vaxxer, he has made a highly profitable career of endangering the lives of millions in his dangerous crusade against vaccinations.

The ascendancy of this lying profiteer…

So the US is now kidnapping whole families and trafficking them to random countries that the US has coerced into imprisoning them for some unspecified period of time

A lot of people on here keep fantasizing about the moment Trump "fires" Elon Musk because Musk has stepped out too far in front of him and I'm sure that feels good, but after watching the last Musk/Trump presser I think it's worth considering that we are essentially watching a coup via elder abuse.

@therickwilson.bsky.social I've been having this crazy idea this week - since we usually only see this on the state level at most...

50 recall elections, 50 states. Against the Musk administration. If he loses everyone including Trump & his administration goes.

Did you ever see this?

Reminder: If 230,000 more folks had simply voted for the black lady we’d all be arguing about the best way to get the Senate to vote to add long-term care to Medicare coverage right now.

Trump is weak. Look at this picture. His posture, his seeming disinterest, his fighting to keep his eyes open. Every image of him signing an EO as they explain what it is, he is treated as one would a child. He is nothing and every horrible, power hungry person around him knows it.

it is genuinely incredible that all you have to do is scratch the surface and it becomes clear that each of these guys is a huge piece of shit
