it arrives in the mailbox slightly tattered, you thumb through the pages, last week's news, a review of the gallery exhibit that closed a month ago..the classifieds. your fingertips turning dark from the ink stains, you finish the last of the lukewarm coffee. the phone inside rings, you don't answer

for context, I've been lefty protesting since long before she was born, and I've spent decades in close contact with right-wing evangelicals, so there's that.

so talia's been around protests for a while, but when you're a lefty activist, you need to recognize the limitations of your mental picture of 'average' citizens.
this🧵is a perfect example of it.
she's lecturing everyone on how others will interpret protests, and that's just like, your opinion, man.

adding: a couple people noted the “i am antifa” sign. if you’re some average joe driving to work & you see inflatable animals with that sign, you likely don’t have that specific frame of reference. your takeaway is gunna be that antifa is bizarre.

if you wanna rep antifa, do it in a business suit.

jesus. what possible harm are they doing? no one is going to be alienated by it resulting in the triumph of fascism, no fascists will be swayed or hardened.
the nazis are driving the bus, and we're either going to rise up against them or not.
your 'productive outlets' won't change this trajectory.

U.S. police kill roughly 25 pet dogs a day, the majority of which pose no threat to them.

This is Chop. He was shot and killed by masked assailants in plain clothes who go by ICE. They showed up at his door "looking for migrants after receiving a tip." The son of the family asked if they could wait before entering the home while he put Chop away in the bathroom, as the dog can be aggressive with strangers.
According to the family, it is at this point that the son went to his pickup truck to retrieve his ID and a Border Patrol agent entered the home, opened the bathroom door, and shot Chop. None of the agents helped the family, who desperately tried to render aid to Chop, as he bled to death on the kitchen floor. Unsurprisingly, the agent who shot their dog then hid from them and refused to give his name. Even more unsurprising, they did not find any evidence of the migrants they were there to terrorize in the first place.
Do not open your door for these fucking losers. Rest easy Chop

'lady, you're making me nervous with the constant staring and pointing that phone at me, and I'd really appreciate the chance to lick my junk in peace. m'kay?' is my guess.

yeah, bonus points if everyone uses 'marbles' and he ends up going off about his marbles over and over.

Would it surprise you that the owner of Scientific American's parent company, Stefan von Holtzbrinck, invested $37 million in Inkitt, an AI firm?

scientifically, this is called a ratio.
it means that everyone disagrees with your idiotic take.
scientific american doing ads for AI is pretty fucking sad, imho. it's a total failure about to explode the economy, in case you're curious.

Everyone thought I was a Fish-bender while I ran around as a Beef twister, missing my old life as a Sampler of drugs and aspired to be an Examiner of underclothing, but the truth is that I spent Fifty-two years as an imbecile (classically trained as an Emasculator). Ah, the dreams of a Cow-banger...

Job occupations, from an 1881 census. Every one of these sounds like something a sorely provoked Captain Haddock would should at someone in times of heavy stress.
