Massive escalation at the Portland ICE facility. Worst I’ve ever seen. More pepper balls than I can count. Teargas in the middle of crowd. Violent arrests. Some type of either noise or rubber bullet shotgun fired into the air then later aimed at protesters chests/heads at near point blank range.

Some mutual aid seekers are white cis abled men, but you ever notice how common it is for people of marginalized genders & sexualities & races, & disabled people, to be those desperate posters you scroll by? Well make connection. These identities are most & first victimized by fascism. So pitch in.

In Portland Oregon tonight, the beginning of Kamryn Walks video reporting showed lots of intense MAGA TPUSA violent activity then when 'ICE' emerged, there were a lot of brown shirts, not the 'normal' dark blue ICE uniforms & lots of smoke (&gas) 'flash bang' incendiaries thrown by feds into crowd.🤦

This would be the second time this dude has been arrested. Right wing streamer Matt Tardio calls him "Tommy 2" & has alluded to him being more hard right than the rest of them & someone on the right has said he's a Nick Fuentes fan.

Portland police arrested a right-wing agitator at the ICE facility. Protesters say this man punched a woman in the face on video. I’ll update if I see the video, but it seems very likely given how fast PPB responded and what everyone is saying.

Initial custom themes support has landed in @conjured.ink's stall software and it's very fast, and very easy to write custom themes for (assuming you know a little bit of HTML/CSS!)

Highlights:
* FAST templates w/ layouts/partials
* KDL-based metadata ;)
* No framework!
* Easy packaging

Golly, Portland burned down like three times while I was downtown tonight. The heat was insane! Great carpenters and masons though putting it all back together

the point is that things that have been translated have fluid meanings

and the world we live in is full of things that have been translated multiple times.

what is really bringing out the "I'm so tired" thing in my brain is that at the same time this is happening, we are having the discussions we are having about AI elsewhere on this site

The Elon/Twitter playbook proceeds apace

I mean it's not really a playbook, they are sloppy and not good at things so of course they are scrambling because that's what happens when you were incompetent.

One thing AI is good for is reminding people how even the very worst movie they’ve ever seen is better than AI “movies”

I can be trusted to watch Smile & Smile 2.

I am normal and can be trusted to watch Smile & Smile 2.

I'm getting asked a lot of questions that are already answered by my "Let Me Watch Smile & Smile 2 For Normal Reasons" t-shirt.

IT'S SO GOOD

I remember expecting Pink Panther-type things from Herbert Lom and he turns in this devastating performance too

That movie feels like late fall/early winter to me every time I watch it
