"Spycraft was a field of empty traps, rusting open." -- @michaelidov.bsky.social in the much awaited, twisty and thrilling 2nd installment of the "Cormorant Trilogy"

"... and many posters for what she assumed was a rock band called Rush." -- as a fan since my teens I both appreciated and resented this throw-away line from the latest @michaelidov.bsky.social spy thriller

Timeless humour! A 2,000 year-old Roman souvenir pen with a joke inscription roughly equivalent to: “I went to Rome and all I got you was this cheap pen!" 😂 Dated circa 70 AD, this iron stylus pen was recovered in London during excavations by MOLA. 📷 Juan Jose Fuldain/MOLA #Archaeology

Four dead, five wounded by ICE. So far...

I'm at stage 4. Anyone out with advice how to move on to 5?

What a sick, demented bastard. A mother is dead, and this dickhead is making her part of his 2028 campaign platform 24 hours later.

WITNESS: "I just can't let this narrative of self-defense go any further. That’s absolutely not what it was… ICE agents didn’t let anyone help her for 15 minutes, then medics couldn’t get through with their ambulance.”

Democratic mayors and governors should call up SWAT teams to shadow ICE agents and provide security to its citizens: this is what the "well regulated militias" in the 2nd Amendment were actually designed for

It's time for states like Minnesota to invoke the 2nd Amendment for what it was originally intended for: arming citizens in "well regulated militas" to defend themselves from the abuses of a violent, authoritarian central government.

I guess we know why they cover their faces now

If they could do this to Renee Nicole Good, they could do this to you. This is a lawless regime.

We cannot be more clear. Leave us the fuck alone.

J'aime bien les livres d'histoire, ça permet de se rendre compte des leçons apprises du passé et éviter que ça se reproduise.

A great way to remember Jan 6th is to listen to Jack Smith's testimony. I got to 2.5 hrs. I still need to finish it. Every American should hear it for themselves. And yeah, Trump is guilty. He should be disqualified from being president.
