I (still) don't have a Wikipedia entry. I like movies, mashups, science, sci-fi, zombies, comics, history, assorted nerdery, & the Oxford comma. Neutral Good. I would prefer not to pay as much attention to current events, but we live in interesting times.

The funniest part of the latest round of Republicans whining about California is the legislatures of Alabama, Tennessee, and South Carolina all just straight up rigged their election systems to guarantee only Republicans win. And they just, you know, openly admitted this.

I'm reminded of a cartoon from Tom Toro in the New Yorker. www.newyorker.com/cartoon/a16995
A cartoon by Tom Toro published in the New Yorker. A middle aged business person in a suit is sat at a lit camp fire, along with three children. All are dishevelled. In the background are the faint ruins of a destroyed city.

The caption reads "Yes, the planet got destroyed. But for a beautiful moment in time we created a lot of value for shareholders."

Text at the bottom reads "Cartoon by Tom Toro".

I'm calling bullshit on the media narrative that Trump is "pivoting" and "deescalating" on his ICE raids. The threshold is this: As long as the military occupations and the treatment of US cities as enemy territory continue, there's no pivot. ICE out. 1/ (New piece) newrepublic.com/article/2057...

Donald Trump Is Frightened
Trump wants to appear eager to minimize out-of-control clashes between government militias and protesters. But he doesn’t want to stop the things causing those clashes in the first place.

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find: - NONE of the arrested were criminally charged - NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists." - ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.
As a Black Hawk helicopter roared overhead, the slender, 28-year-old immigrant from Venezuela answered softly, his eyes darting to a television crew invited to film the raid. Next to Caicedo, masked Border Patrol agents inspected another man’s tattoos and asked him if he belonged to Tren de Aragua, the Venezuelan gang that the Trump administration has designated a terrorist group.

Until that moment, Caicedo’s only interaction with law enforcement in his two-and-a-half years in the United States had been a traffic stop two weeks earlier for driving without a license or insurance, according to the records we reviewed. Chicago police had run a background check on him and found no prior arrests, no warrants and no evidence that he was in a gang. Caicedo said he had a pending asylum application, a steady job at a taco joint and a girlfriend whose daughter attended elementary school across the street. 

None of that mattered. The U.S. government paraded him and his neighbors in front of the cameras and called their arrests a spectacular victory against terrorism. But later, after the cameras had gone, prosecutors didn’t charge Caicedo with a crime. They didn’t accuse him of being a terrorist. And after a brief hearing in immigration court, the government sent him back to the country he had fled nine years earlier.

“I lost everything,” he said in a phone interview from his mother’s home in the Venezuelan city of Valencia. “For those fools, everyone from Venezuela is a criminal.”

the point of camo for a soldier is to obscure their position from the enemy. camo in an urban environment is completely different, and this forest green or desert pattern is functionally useless. police only dress this way to project an image of power they should not have.

It's always weird to hear Motörhead's "Ace of Spades" on a restaurant's Muzak, but when it happens I am reminded of @alexwinter.com's TV show The Idiot Box. IIRC, in one skit he played a rock & roll accountant, and at the end he trashes his cubicle while this song plays.

It's not in this article but the government asserts that the sandwich was thrown at "point blank range", which implies subway sandwiches have defined effective weapon ranges of varying lethality, and I would like to see the government's chart of these ranges.
