How did you manage to make this deal?

Well, I am a deal guy.

And what does that mean?

It means I say there is a deal, and then you report that there is a deal.

And what is in this deal?

That can be the subject of your next article, once we work it out.

Work what out?

You know. The deal.

Large group of customers saw the FBI at this pizza joint and noped the fuck out. A few other people seemed to steer clear as well. Has to be terrible for business.

Can you put into words what that purpose is? You and the frog have really become icons of this protest.

There’s been a nice overall whimsy that has shown up. The frog is amazing. We had a bunch of other inflatable people here last night, too. I saw people playing Twister the other day.

What they rely on is fear. So by coming out in an absurdist manner, it speaks to them, to some extent, that we’re actually not that afraid.

It also dismantles their narrative a little bit. When they try to describe this situation as “war-torn,” it becomes much harder to take them seriously when they have to post a video saying [U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security] Kristi Noem is up on the balcony staring over the Antifa Army and it’s, like, eight journalists and five protesters and one of them is in a chicken suit.

There's nothing at all wrong with being Palestinian, and using "Palestinian" in this way is deeply racist against Palestinians, but it is also antisemitic, because it defines Jewishness as something that can be granted and removed for political reasons.

The Rutgers teachers’ unions are standing in solidarity with History Professor Mark Bray, who has been targeted by Turning Point USA. The group has falsely claimed that Bray, the author of Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook is “a prominent leader of the antifa movement,” and should be fired.

SAME! Have been craving that for years in DC and Cambridge, Mass., where my family bike-commutes, but never knew there was a term for it.

(For fellow non-urbanism geeks: It means replacing car parking around intersections with open space to enhance pedestrian/bike visibility + safety.)

It is pretty galling that the Supreme Court spent four years telling Biden "you can't do that without Congress" then allowed Trump to seize a once-unthinkable amount of power from Congress within nine months and concentrate law-making authority almost entirely in the executive branch.
