Noting a distinct but unsurprising difference in how the Gardaí react to dickheads in tractors and SUVs blockading Dublin city center to a few dozen protesters in an industrial estate beside an airport.

yeah man i'll circle back to you on that agenda item from yesterday's all hands in just a sec. our pedophile king just threatened to destroy a whole civilization
No big deal just a solar eclipse as seen from the moon streamed to us here on Earth by astronauts who are farther away from their home planet than any human has ever been
I will personally be taking account of every journalist who attends the WHCA dinner and spend the rest of my life making sure everybody knows that they did
the correct response to this moment is "we must cleanse the government with the holy fire of retribution" not "we also need to do stupid populism"
1. I know the idea of "norms" went out with Cheers and technically there's no law about presidential medical disclosures, but the White House and its doctors covering up the president's true medical condition ought to be a Watergate-level scandal
3. It's critical for the media to ask about these absences and bruises at every opportunity and work their sources for evidence that will expose the on-the-record lies. The public has an inalienable right to know the physical and mental health of a man with the ability to order a nuclear attack -30-
Honestly, all greater political considerations aside, it’s just really fucking obnoxious how many Americans seem to think it’s cheating for the other side to shoot back in a war. I mean look, I’m no fan of the Iranian regime, but buy the ticket, take the ride.

A very moving event - despite the hailstones…
it's worth noting that the quote they went out of their way to make look stupid was expressing a reasonable point — a restatement of the long-standing official US policy in fact! — and the quote they clean up and sanitize is expressing a deranged threat of war crimes in an illegal conflict
Plottimation, my tool for converting #plotterArt frame-sheets into animated GIFs, is now in version 1.09 after extensive improvements :) golanlevin.github.io/plottimation/
pawn stars "best we can do" meme format with text: a mayor who uses transit? best we can do is a guy who rides around in an SUV beating up homeless people
One day, "It" will happen, by which I mean sudden and unexpected news that you want to celebrate. In such cases, you will want the right outfit. 🧵
Particularly alarming that this includes Lebanon & Gaza. I had just shared imagery from March 18 showing the demolition of villages along the southern border of Lebanon by the IDF and now not even that imagery is available: bsky.app/profile/godi...
Mass demolitions haven't stopped in Gaza, either.
Just had this from Planet Labs, the US government have asked satellite imagery providers for "voluntarily" restrictions on access to satellite imagery. Given a lot of them provide satellite imagery to the USG we can probably guess the outcome of not acquiescing to that request.
Partial blame to Microsoft and Zoom for normalizing the need to install new software just to make video calls, despite browsers being perfectly capable. They make it extra hard to even find the web-only links.

please excuse my late reply, tying is hindered as I'm blinded by glorious evening sun as I walk my dog in the park
Oh no another day in the hellscape
in all earnestness you have a "make a stranger feel good" button on every tweet you read and hitting it a lot, in my experience, papers over a lot of the problems of interpretation that are otherwise inherent to text communication online
🙄
Once you see it, you can't unsee it
if you invented public libraries today, every opinion page in the country would be arguing for means tested subsidized Amazon Prime memberships
it’s not surprising exactly but it is still shocking just how fast we’ve moved from “woke was excessive” framing to open and explicit white male supremacy
like yes, obviously, this is always who they were, this is always where they wanted to end up
but it’s pretty depressing how fast they were able to move to being completely open with it
no fig leaves, no bullshit excuses, just “fire all the black people and the women”
You and your Senate colleagues believing that Pam Bondi "gave up her integrity" to remain in her position is a big part of why we're here
biggest technological revolution of our lifetimes. by electing trump we chose building more Ford Raptors over being part of it.
Turns out covering up for pedophiles isn't a winning strategy. See you at Nuremberg 2.0
Pam Bondi still has to testify, under oath, in front of the Oversight Committee regarding the Epstein Files. This does not get her out of that bipartisan, lawful subpoena.
We will see her soon.
America is a terrorist nation, not sure how else to put it
