Last Week Tonight is the only vaguely news-related show we still watch on TV.
And his evisceration of Bari Weiss is just *beautiful*.
The Ellison's best keep their filthy hands off HBO.

Didn't Kate McKinnon date her in college? Or was it shortly after college?

My account was just banned.😂
I haven't even had a content violation on a comment since the "new" TikTok was implemented.
AND, I don't even make content, so it's not like I made a video that's unacceptable.
What the actual fk?

TikTok message:

Pretty sure I say this every Columbus Day, but getting hauled back to Spain for excessive brutality in 1500, just as the Inquisition was really getting fired up, is some genuinely Evil Guys Hall of Infamy material

Everyday, but today especially:
Support indigenous artists and seek out indigenous-owned businesses near you and support them.

Happy Indigenous Peoples Day / Native American Day.
We are still here.

For 10+ years internet trolls have screamed what a hellhole my city is, but now we're a lovely city that people across the country are impressed by.
And they're eager to visit!
It's a strange but welcome twist.
I love you, Portland. 🐸

The US federal attack on Portland has resulted in the best advertisement for a city that I have ever seen. Round-the-clock joy, community solidarity and silliness that much of the West has lost and longs for.

I was hoping to volunteer at an Indigenous People’s Day event but everything has been chaos since my father died and our move dates shifted. If you’re near one go support the vendors and dancers! Try some frybread! Buy Indigenous!

In 2004, Parisian police were conducting a training exercise in the french catacombs and found, after moving past a desk and a tape playing audio of snarling dogs, a fully functional movie theater and bar. When they returned 3 days later, the equipment was gone, with a note: “Do not try to find us.”

Members of the force's sports squad, responsible
- among other tasks - for policing the 170 miles of tunnels, caves, galleries and catacombs that underlie large parts of Paris, stumbled on the complex while on a training exercise beneath the Palais de Chaillot, across the Seine from the Eiffel Tower.
After entering the network through a drain next to the Trocadero, the officers came across a tarpaulin marked: Building site, No access.
Behind that, a tunnel held a desk and a closed-circuit TV camera set to automatically record images of anyone passing. The mechanism also triggered a tape of dogs barking, "clearly designed to frighten people off," the spokesman said.
Further along, the tunnel opened into a vast 400 sq metre cave some 18m underground, "like an underground amphitheatre, with terraces cut into the rock and chairs".

There the police found a full-sized cinema screen, projection equipment, and tapes of a wide variety of films, including 1950s film noir classics and more recent thrillers. None of the films were banned or even offensive, the spokesman said.
A smaller cave next door had been turned into an informal restaurant and bar. "There were bottles of whisky and other spirits behind a bar, tables and chairs, a pressure-cooker for making couscous," the spokesman said.
"The whole thing ran off a professionally installed electricity system and there were at least three phone lines down there."
Three days later, when the police returned accompanied by experts from the French electricity board to see where the power was coming from, the phone and electricity lines had been cut and a note was lying in the middle of the floor: "Do not," it said, "try to find us."

"See the news? They're now making a registry of gun owners."
That's what I'm responding to, and requesting the source for. They saw it in "the news?" Then they should be able to cite the news source they saw it in.

Genuinely teared up at the start of the naked bike ride. Probably 1000 people including Jordan Knepper and a Daily Show crew.

Met a woman who bought a bunch of clear ponchos to hand out.

Back on the streetcar, operator had to announce a delay because of the ride. Then laid on the horn in support

THREAD. Did you know that at about 1/3 of all stranger homicides in the U.S. are perpetrated by police? But there's something hidden here that is important to understand in this authoritarian moment.

“This is setting us up for the Insurrection Act,” Dr. Jason Stanley warns of Trump's authoritarian tactics in cities across America. “I think we are facing the moment in which a coup is happening. This is the moment.” What’s needed now, he adds, is full-scale nonviolent resistance. #Velshi

‘A coup is happening’: A new warning against Trump’s authoritarian slide

In a stark warning, Dr. Jason Stanley says America is entering a dangerous period with President Trump’s growing rhetoric against the so-called “radical left” and “domestic terrorists.” “I think we are facing the moment in which a coup is happening,” Stanley warns. “This is the moment,” he says, and adds that what’s needed now is full-scale, nonviolent resistance.

Every democrat should be talking like this. Not the feckless mueller time version of this that we’ve had for years, but actual promises of actual consequences

As long as it goes unpunished we’ll never be free of this

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

Stay safe out there y'all.

If you're biking nekkid, the high for today is only about 53° F, so make sure you have a plan to warm back up.

If you're *not* nekkid, it's a good idea to have the jail support number written discreetly somewhere on your body where it won't be easily rubbed off.
