Watching a documentary about sci fi movies in the 1980s and I cannot think of a better overall decade for sci fi.

Oh: Reached out to Bishop Robert Barron (among others), who sits on Trump's religious liberty commission, earlier today about Broadview, and it looks like he's "brought forward … concerns" on *one* part of the religious freedom issue (i.e., communion access, not ICE shooting clergy w/pepper balls).

Is the idea that they faked the moon landing on a soundstage with a Eurovision-style WIND MACHINE? And oops forgot to paint stars on the backdrop? Conspiracy theories always depend on the conspiracists being dumb as hell

My favorite part of Sunday Night Football is when the app freezes just before a team scores a touchdown.

The seeds are being planted to rig the midterms. It’s becoming more explicit.
(Also note the gratuitous shot at the NBA, aka Black athletes who oppose him)

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states.
Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

Would have been my favorite game
SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan
Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

Reviewing my WWII lecture & this hits different this year:
The US Holocaust museum argues that “what distinguishes a concentration camp from a prison... is that it functions outside of the judicial system. The prisoners are not indicted or convicted of any crime by judicial process.” 🗃️

Reminder that Trump campaigned on sending troops into American cities to take out "the enemy from within." Something to consider next time a pundit tells you the election was really about inflation.
Trump to Bartiromo on what worries him about election day: "I think the bigger problem is the enemy from within ... sick people, radical left lunatics. And it should be easily handled by, if necessary, by National Guard, or if really necessary, by the military."

This. Where are their voices?
Would be great to see today statements denouncing the invasion of Portland by:
- All Dem govs
- All Dems AGs
- Senate and House Dems
We have to denounce, attack, challenge immediately and defend the American people from this dangerous man.

Dems need to denounce and fight this Portland insanity very, very hard. Our unacceptable hesitancy when Trump invaded DC encouraged further escalation. We should be demanding Congress return to deal with this "emergency" - briefings, hearings, debate. We have to fight.
