If protests, big or small, happen soon near the White House, it is not hyperbolic to say that that is an act of courage by the protesters. Trump is still bitter over not going harder than he did in 2020, and that includes literally shooting protesting next to the White House. Will he do anything …

Sensors are for seeing things.
Censors are for not seeing things. Censures are for seeing things and getting mad about them.
Censers are for smelling things.

hello every time i saw you i went "look it's spamton" thank you for your [free with purchas'se] service

Unclench your jaw. Relax your shoulders. Repeat after me: "I am loved. I am powerful. I am the ultimate killing machine. Armies flee before my mighty mecha-fists. I subsist on molten tungsten and I vow to destroy the moon."

Hard agree there. It definitely feels like burning money even though it's 15 dollars or something (that's breakfast for both of us!) but I'm Concerned

I never spring for it otherwise but all the travel I am planning for the next 2-? years has insurance/paid extra for refund-ability on it. That's what I'd do personally, everything about this could change tomorrow, better or worse.

7 months and our senile president is deploying armed forces to DC because a guy named Big Balls got beat up by a teenage girl

We are here. This is real. Let's build a home for each other
and fight like hell.

Take care of yourself. One thing at a time.

Threats of the militarization of cities—, including DC which has been fighting for self determination for generations, isn’t a “distraction”.

It’s a massive, giant, red trial balloon

For what an American president can do YOUR city if you feel like it.

I need people to wake up.

Just saw someone call the military occupation of DC a distraction, and that’s it, the it’s a distraction people have lost it. We should wait until the bulldozer is running over your house and all chime in with “isn’t there something else we should be talking about”

This is not how corporations respond to an ineffective protest. This is how they respond to a protest that they would like to have go away.

So don't let it go away. Keep it going.

In fact, Streissand Effect this shit. Call attention to how much they want this to go away.

Bluesky is still small enough that you can click on “trending” and go see what it looks like *in a vacuum* when a fledgling botnet is deployed after a public figure’s representatives purchase help from an online reputation firm (presumably) bsky.app/profile/tren...

I am genuinely terrified everyone will forget, or has already forgotten, how different people were 15-20 years ago. Since then, all technological innovation has worked toward the goal of sapping human attention as a commodity and society is far worse for it.

Amen.

You don’t read literature and philosophy and study the stars because it makes you marketable. You do it because learning is the greatest joy in a life that offers very few.

In L.A., police nightsticks are clubbing press freedom to death | Will Bunch On Friday, LAPD cops allegedly battered and detained journalists at a protest — the ugliest of the many threats to U.S. press freedom.

The press freedom crisis in America isn't only billionaires bowing down at big outlets like CBS, the Post. In L.A., elsewhere, indie journalists at protests are getting beat up or arrested by cops, a chilling sign of an authoritarian U.S. police state

Screenshot of the text of the first chapter of the Silmarillion, reading "But when they desire to clothe themselves the Valar take upon them forms some as of male and some as of female; for that difference of temper they had even from their beginning, and it is but bodied forth in the choice of each, not made by the choice, even as with us male and female may be shown by the raiment but is not made thereby."

Tolkien says what your body looks like is just like wearing clothes; your gender is how you feel in your soul, which tbh makes him more trans positive than *some* British writers I could name.
