going by the decor, is this not TGI Fridays?

Someone on Twitter posted a photo of themselves doing a happy dance as they receive a hot plate of fajitas. Then "Raw Egg Nationalist" on Twitter retweets them, writing: It's incredible that these people exist, but they really do. These are the people who justify the demographic replacement of Western countries in terms of the variety of street food and how many different kinds of fried-meat-and-vegetables in flatbread they can buy.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

Governor...thanks for speaking up, but we need more than speech.

Why does the Broadview internment camp have power, water and sewer services?

Why aren't all the roads around the facility under constant road work?

You have a broad series of powers as the governor and a leader in Chicago to act

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 2d

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

It's the economics of 'inelastic demand'

This from another platform is so true:

“Jack White only getting a cell phone this year is probably the main reason why he's basically the only unproblematic Gen X rock star left. He's still an eccentric, but he has the politics of a resistlib mom AND is on good terms with both of his ex-wives.”

Yashar Ali 🐘 @yasharali.bsky.social · 5d

Hell has frozen over.

Jack White got his first cell phone ever this past July at age 50 and only because it became really difficult to do certain things without one.

But he is willing to do a TikTok for his daughter. So cute.

Joined by her mom and Jack’s former wife the fabulous Karen Elson.

I just started watching a youtube video that opened with (paraphrasing) 'I didn't like the latest Doom because it wasn't the same as the childhood game that I grew up with as a preteen, Doom 2016'

Time is a flat circle, Doom is schroedinger's constant, and I am a pile of ancient, decrepit dust.

Just a reminder that authoritarians use the vulnerabilities of liberal democracy against itself, including concepts of "free speech" and the "healthy exchange of ideas."

They do not value these things. They are not sincerely held principles. They're cudgels and they will erase them once in power.
