New from me: LAPD released video from an in-custody death that occurred in July. Jose Carlos Hoyos-Munoz appeared to be in crisis as 6 to 9 officers beat him three separate times. One officer is seen putting his knee into the back and neck of Munoz. He died 20 min later. lataco.com/lapd-beat-ha...

LAPD officers forcefully restrained a man, kneed him, and struck him with their elbows. He was later found dead in his cell.

slow day in the office so we're starting beef with archaeologists
One of those 'STOP DOING X' memes, ripping into archaeology. It has images of soil stratum, a trowel, and a flint shard. The text mocks archaeologists for digging for pottery sherds and saying everything has a 'ritual purpose'.

Yesterday was the nine year anniversary of "Unite the Right," a deadly riot in Charlottesville, VA, that killed multiple people, including antiracist activist Heather Heyer. Today, there are powerful people that want you to believe that what we saw with our own eyes is a lie. Don't let them.

When I interned for a news org in D.C. I said offhandedly that the WH correspondents dinner seemed like a conflict of interest and I was basically told to shut the fuck up b/c how much the event meant to many journalists on that beat. Courtiers.

Lmao this individual is larping as an organization/academic institution to lend themselves an air of legitimacy while abusing the moderation list system to force the genocide Israel is involved in with Ukraine's self-defense. Lists are just filled with people who oppose genocide.
@perf-moderation.org, in reality just one person, taking it upon themselves to create a dozen block lists to round up people who oppose genocideA list example with me on it, among a cohort individuals with a conscience.

Have you heard the tragedy of the Mediterranean Bronze Age Collapse? I thought not. It's not a story the ruling elite would tell you. 🏺
A recent image of Chaka Khan singing while standing conspicuously far away from a hanging microphone with the following text overlaid:

THE MEDITERRANEAN BRONZE AGE COLLAPSE DEMANDS WIDER PUBLIC AWARENESS AS AN EXAMPLE OF

SYSTEMS COLLAPSE RESULTING FROM A CONFLUENCE OF FACTORS, INCLUDING A HYPER- INTERDEPENDENT GLOBALIZED ECONOMY UNABLE TO ADAPT TO DISRUPTIVE TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES; FAMINES AND PANDEMICS EXACERBATED BY CLIMATE CHANGE AND NATURAL DISASTERS SPURRING MASSIVE POPULATION MOVEMENTS, LARGE-SCALE CONFLICTS, AND TERMINAL LABOR FORCE DECLINE; EXTREME WEALTH INEQUALITY AND AN INSULAR, HIGHLY INTERCONNECTED RULING CLASS INCAPABLE OF RESPONDING ADEQUATELY TO THESE PRESSURES -- ALL HAVING DIRE IMPLICATIONS FOR THE CONTINUED SURVIVAL OF OUR SOCIETY AS IT IS CURRENTLY STRUCTURED

Holy shit. www.wired.com/story/a-civi...
This past May, a twin-engine Beechcraft King Air medevac plane took off from Roswell, New Mexico, and headed west to the town of Ruidoso to pick up a patient. It shouldn’t have been a challenging flight for the two pilots and two nurses aboard. The temperature was 69 degrees; the sky was clear. The 60-mile journey normally takes a half hour, at most.

But once airborne, the plane ran into trouble. At the White Sands Missile Range that night, US military personnel were conducting a GPS jamming exercise that left the King Air pilots—and anyone else within hundreds of miles—unable to use modern navigation systems. Forced to revert to older technology, ones that they rarely if ever use, the medevac pilots got disoriented and crashed into the side of a mountain. There were no survivors.

Is this you? Is your cohort under sustained fire from innumerable horse archers? No? Then do the thing. What possible excuse do you have?
An illustration depicting a Roman centurion (presumably) yelling orders while under a hail of arrow fire at the Battle of Carrhae, a famous Roman defeat. Innumerable arrows penetrate both his shield and comrades. 

Dumbasses picked a fight with cav archers while having insufficient light cavalry to counter. This is why you don't put amateurs like Crassus in charge of anything.

This is inaccurate. There's still two of them. Inevitably one must be established as the lib and eliminated. Only then, when literally no one else remains to externalize the conservative's inner conflict, that the one true MAGA can finally reflect soberly and kts in despair, thus ending the cycle.
