CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

If you didn't already know... according to the Appendix, Hobbits typically named their girl children after flowers and jewels. They named the boys as either random syllables with no meaning (Bilbo was given as a specific example) or as vague insults / snappish comments.

I need more people I know to read Comfort Me With Apples by Catherynne M Valente because it mashes up two folklore stories in a very feminist message and I wanna talk about that but I can't say which two because it'll spoil experiencing the story. /flails #booksky

Nominations are now open for the 2026 Hugo Awards! Emails are going out to eligible nominators (those who became a member of LAcon V by January 31, 2026, or were a member of the Seattle Worldcon 2025) about how to set up their LAcon V virtual convention account.

Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick

every single person writing credulously about "elon will put people on the moon" should have to pin this post to their monitor

Yup. This is also why I get annoyed when people start suggesting "golden age" science fiction titles to people who are new the genre and are asking for suggestions. You want to turn a modern 15-year-old off science fiction forever, recommend stories that were old when her grandparents were her age.

Bringing out the ole historical racist tropes! This is so vintage & retro.

Folks outside SF/F don't know that Asimov was a sexual harasser because while he was alive fandom thought it was cute (up to and including Asimov being invited to give a lecture on "The Power of Positive Posterior Pinching" at Worldcon, which he, wisely, declined). daily.jstor.org/asimovs-empi...

"We would have lost so much if we'd driven him away" is the justification. But we lost all those girls. We lost the women they would have become. We lost the work they would have done. Why was his future work so much more valuable than theirs?

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

Trump just called for Republicans to “nationalize” voting and “take over” elections in 15 states. Under the Constitution, states administer elections. Not the President. Not his party. Not the federal government.

Was JUST talking with @andreagrimes.com about this. All evidence shows that complying in advance gets you nothing other than viewed as an easy target for another squeeze, while institutions that fight back often prevail in court. Definitely taking note of who is rolling over!

Whenever I see "Kid Rock" trending, I want to share that Robert James Ritchie was raised on a 6 acre estate with tennis courts, private stables, two garages holding 5 cars, a jacuzzi, apple orchard and 5,600 sq ft home. "Trailer park" is a persona, a character he plays.

This article is a very good example of why "more training" and "more vetting" isn't the answer. Jesus Ochoa and Raymundo Gutierrez joined Border Patrol in 2018 and 2014 respectively. These aren't new agents. www.propublica.org/article/alex...

Hey remember how Rowling has insisted her hateful bullying of trans people is totally all about protecting women from predators and abusers?

If you see this, don't participate. It's a rigged study by Lisa Littman and unethical researcher J. Michael Bailey meant to undermine access to care. Spread the word.

President Trump has filed a lawsuit against the IRS, in which he demands that the IRS, which he as president controls, pay him $10 billion. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The full reasoning is essentially “we heavily armed cops won’t get into a battle with heavily armed feds over this” Make of that what you will, but it sounds to me like the LAPD is perfectly happy letting feds run wild through the community they’ve got their own unarmed civilians to shoot anyway

"Yes, the right wing is engineering a fascist dystopia, but sometimes leftist college kids are annoying, so really both sides are bad." - the kind of thing I simply no longer have time for

Unfriendly reminder, AI is being used to destroy trust. Do not normalize the use of AI. AI can not reliably enhance videos or low-quality images. This is the quiet replacement of reality. Do not let this be normalized.

Update: The Trans bathroom bounty hunter bill in Kansas has just passed the Kansas House. They have rushed it to the Senate for passage. If it passes, the most extreme anti-trans bill in the nation is about to be sent to the Governor's desk. Live here. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzwe...

The 2025 shootings of Minnesota legislators were treated far too lightly. Media and the public moved on too fast without grasping the seriousness of assassination. These are life and death issues, not just differences of opinion the USA is working out. The reactionary right is ready to kill.

Hi bsky. Since moving to California I've seen dramatic improvement in my partner's health, however we have been unable to find jobs and have emptied our savings. Please consider donating to keep us housed. gofund.me/2fe2e6c77

Exactly right. Bovino's leaving? Great, get Noem to resign. Noem resigns? Great, defund and dismantle ICE. Go after Stephen Miller too. Bring charges against ICE thugs at the state and local level. Lawsuits. New state laws restricting them. Every possible angle.

NEW: There are 2,400+ elections for DA & sheriff this year. These matter hugely to criminal justice & policing—including: *these are often officials who decide ICE collaboration.* So I took a dive into these 2,400+ races to identify early hotspots and battlegrounds. Read, & check out our maps:

Thread, it's 2026 ordinary businesses often back up security footage to the cloud. For a site like this not to have any off-site back ups would have just as vile implications of planning ahead to do acts they don't want a record of as not having security cameras in the 1st place. Bad lie to use
