Idk if I'm right. Here's what I think I'm seeing:

Police are using her lawn as a staging area. She wants them off. The say she's obstructing them and they'll arrest her. She keeps repeating that it's her property and she won't let them on it without a warrant.

They stay!

...I have just seen someone saying "servicemembers should refuse orders...that clearly violate the constitution" and while I agree, there is a distinct messaging problem here. Friends, SCOTUS often can't agree on what violates the constitution. You want 22yo business majors to figure it out???

cropped customer review from George Hotelling march 14 2010 So, (spoiler alert) the sun is going out and the people on the spaceship are going to restart it and save the earth. They have a lot of challenges to overcome like in any movie, and then they overcome them. But here's the thing about the movie that you won't believe: no one ever looks really serious and says "It's daylight saving time." Not one character. No one says "It's daylight saving time." In the entire movie. I know you don't think it's possible, but if you watch it you'll feel like you wasted 4 hours of your life (time moves slower when you're waiting for someone to deliver an amazing line). What were the writers thinking!?

It's weird to not only have lived through an information revolution but also now living through its undoing, all within less than a generation.

Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

hmmmmm 🧐 (from peripathetic by cher tan)
It was also around this time that the small businesses that the underground had so lovingly nurtured - record labels, screen-printing services, band bookers, et al. - began to run themselves like monopolies, resulting in a chilling effect. You couldn't possibly call out that one alternative record store in town for underpaying its staff because its very monopoly transpired in a rhizomatic structure that operated like a corporate leadership structure: my friend works there, my band's records are stocked there, my other friend has done artwork for them, et cetera. I have participated in conversations where someone sees the truth of what I'm saying yet they cannot agree with it due to some kind of personal investment involved, usually to do with social or financial capital. There remains the impression that the entire ecosystem may very well collapse if anything is put under too harsh a scrutiny; the most important thing is that these businesses are 'keeping the scene alive', their owners' capital providing a backbone for the internal economy to continue functioning as planned. The alternative seemed too unknown, too scary; there was absolutely no way we were going to risk being even a tiny bit responsible for destroying our precious havens, and more so if there wasn't a large enough consensus.

Alles Ist Gut (2018)

A completely un-cinematic movie about the grinding banality of seeing your rapist every day. Incredibly realistic performances that take a sledgehammer to the tiresome tropes about life after sexual assault one expects to find. 5/5

This one really is useful because you won’t see a more clear demonstration of one of the most damaging political phenomena of the era: the reactionary professional mind rejecting unacceptable reality, only able to process and comprehend it via something close to conspiracy theory.

Former Obama speechwriter Sarah Hurwitz says Jewish students shouldn’t have smartphones until they finish high school — so they don’t see the “carnage” Israel and the U.S. have carried out in Gaza.

Putting the obvious moral imperative to one side for a moment, am I the only one thinking that maybe not creating that 'wall of dead children' in the first instance would be an easier solution than a unenforceable blanket ban on mobiles for Jewish kids? Why is not killing kids a hard choice for her?

This reminds me of Cardinal John Henry Newman's book Definition of a Gentleman. I often cite Newman's book because it's so instructive. The term gentleman is so overwrought and frequently abused, but to the degree it means anything at all, I think Newman captures it here:
He has his eyes on all his company; he is tender towards the bashful, gentle towards the distant, and merciful towards the absurd; he can recollect to whom he is speaking; he guards against unseasonable allusions, or topics which may irritate; he is seldom prominent in conversation, and never wearisome. He makes light of favours while he does them, and seems to be receiving when he is conferring. He never speaks of himself except when compelled, never defends himself by a mere retort, he has no ears for slander or gossip, is scrupulous in imputing motives to those who interfere with him, and interprets everything for the best. He is never mean or little in his disputes, never takes unfair advantage, never mistakes personalities or sharp sayings for arguments, or insinuates evil which he dare not say out. From a long-sighted prudence, he observes the maxim of the ancient sage, that we should ever conduct ourselves towards our enemy as if he were one day to be our friend.

Article also states the island's population is about 87K. Not to ignore the horribleness of this but at least they are not very smart.
