I was into eating pine cones BEFORE it was popular... Frenemies with the Babadork. Nonbinary. I use any animate pronouns. Crazy for bad movies and forgotten cultural ephemera. May be found prowling used book and periodical sales.

Since Trump's administration really seems to be trying to push the idea that antifa is an org, not simply being anti-fascist, I have a suggestion:

Switch out your black bloc's uniform for GOLD. Have members all dress in matching metallic gold outfits, same type they otherwise would be, just gold.

No. Also I believe the nomination forms for this year had to be sent out in September of last year, and returned by end of January, so he wasn't gonna get one anyway

The frogs have landed in Chicago!

Protestor in a frog suit and an anti-Ice sign with what I believe to be a Pokémon character on a street corner in Rogers Park.

Charon ferries us across the Styx and into the 10th inning, a strange and haunting place. Logan Gilbert, the human marionette, greets us.

Discworld QOTD, from Small Gods

That's why it's always worth having a few philosophers around the place. One minute it's all is truth beauty and is beauty truth, and does a falling tree in the forest make a sound if there's no one there to hear it, and then just when you think they're going to start dribbling one of 'em says, incidentally, putting a thirty-foot parabolic reflector on a high place to shoot the rays of the sun at an enemy's ships would be a very interesting demonstration of optical principles.

A photo of The Goon Eatery from google street view in the town of Nar Nar Goon, Australia. It's a small mid century to 80s designed shop with what looks like tables inside and some outside, and a sans serif white font on black background sign.

#lawsky I need some help here. This is a news story which has extensive quotes from a 15-page decision allegedly issued by a federal judge on Wednesday. That decision does not exist on PACER. It does not exist on Westlaw. Googling the quotes does not pull up anything but this article.

US attorney admonished for Fresno bar encounter with defendant. Trial venue changed

“The conduct strikes the very core of this Court’s integrity,” the judge said.

They were just starting to establish a campus presence in various institutions when I was finishing my PhD, and let us say that it was quite clear they were not a benign presence.

I know this case is all over - & it should be - but Turning Point USA has waged a harassment campaign against faculty for more than a decade. I know of at least a half dozen other faculty, personally, who have received death threats and several of those who felt so unsafe they too left their homes

David Ho @davidho.bsky.social · 1d

Are we great yet?

Mark Bray, a Rutgers University professor and expert on anti-fascist groups, is fleeing to Spain with his family due to death threats that stem from a campaign by Turning Point USA and other conservative groups to get him fired, falsely labeling him as an antifa member.

Jenny Donnelly begged for donations for their anti-LGBTQ+ Christian Nationalist "MayDay" rallies and used money to record her daughter's performance at the rally and now they put out an "album." It's an awful recording. So much static and interference, sounds like I'm listening through a tin can.

"Word on Wednesday - Mayday Album Release" Jenny Donnelly. White woman and young adult woman.

Was just at a neighborhood school at dismissal. Hundreds of people with whistles surrounding the school and stationed down every block making sure ICE doesn’t snatch anyone. The same is happening at all the schools around here. I love my neighborhood and I love Chicago.

It seems like the US just effectively cancelled everyone’s passports who has an X gender marker on them (unless I’m reading this wrong).
