I love that Portland’s solution to being invaded was simply “Be weirder.”

Laughing at fascists as they try to frighten you into submission is extremely effective but also extremely difficult and extremely brave.

Streets are still closed off in front of the Portland ICE facility at 8:30pm. Protesters have gathered on a side street. Dance party in progress.

It’s a joke but I fully predict a “you jerks didn’t give me the Nobel peace prize so I’ve decided to not be peaceful” sort of lashing out, like a toddler

Sometimes I listen to low quality YouTube stuff just to have something on. Reaction channels are one genre of such. Anyway I just heard someone reacting to Kate Bush’s Night of the Swallow. The song ends and he’s quiet for a second then goes, in confusion, “what’s a swallow?”

It's @ingforart.bsky.social's theory of Antifascist Clowns.

Fash street thugs want to fight to show toughness, but clowns are a step too far. If they win against the clown, the best they can say is they beat up a clown. But if they lose? Even if it's a %1 chance... there's no coming back from that

Maj @lif3asmaj.blacksky.app · 3d

The best part of how Portland is handling this is they’re not only protesting, but also angering the goose steppers by not taking them seriously.

Pretty genius. Because even ICE & the national guard don’t want to be displayed as that asshole fighting people in cute costumes.

I just read this article, and it overworks its arguments without really defending them. If greed was going to ruin Swift’s artistry, wouldn’t that have happened many years ago? As the article notes, multiple exclusive limited editions and frequent new releases aren’t new for her.

Having an actual anime studio work on this makes it an extra step above a lot of cheap anime parodies in animation sitcoms.
