Los Angeles, CA - LAPD has commanded The Douglas, the nearest bar to Dodger Stadium to turn off the televisions. They are now calling unlawful assembly, though as far as I can tell the only signs of anything are people on the sidewalk. It is the 9th inning.

finally. baseball is over. we can only hope it has been defeated forever

Every time people gather the government conveniently forgets the part of the first amendment for “the right of the people peaceably to assemble.”

How the fuck would retail managers know that shoplifting rings are diversifying into spam calls

This entire "the Dems need to abandon identity and focus on economics!" discourse is being driven by rich assholes who would melt down at the slightest hint of higher taxes on the wealthy or more welfare for the poor. Look how they're treating Mamdani! It's cynical bullshit all the way down.

I mean, the Democrats branded it the "Green New Deal" specifically so people would connect it to FDR's popular and successful jobs programs and the media convinced voters it was just a radical woke conspiracy/Chinese climate hoax thing. It's the propaganda machine more than the message itself.

Threatening 401ks. Half the reason these people wanted to get rid of pensions was to further hold you hostage to your employers.

Always wild to see these things under blacklight.

It's Halloween! Shout out to Akane's iconic pumpkin jacket.

POTUS recently accepted $100 million from the ruling family of the UAE via his crypto bribery scheme. www.reuters.com/investigatio... The UAE is funneling weapons to the RSF in Sudan to commit SS-level atrocities. www.wsj.com/world/how-u-... And most Americans are totally unaware of this.

The media is about to blitz us with stories about how awful Maduro is and I want you to remember that even if they're all true, they are being issued solely for the purpose of manufacturing consent for invading Venezuela and killing innocent people.

France should have kept its language at home then.

Blue Collar/Working Class has long since become an aesthetic to most. A guy who owns a construction company and makes six figures is working class because he wears work boots and jeans. A barista at a coffee shop is a member of the elite because Pronouns and Big City

Worked so well during the pandemic, they couldn't wait to run it back when Trump came back into power.

In remarks to a private audience in 2023, Russell Vought, who is Trump’s budget chief and the intellectual force behind Trump’s unprecedented power grab, said he championed the term “invasion” because it “unlocked” extraordinary presidential powers. (Published May) By @mtredden.bsky.social

The 61-year-old man, who spent weeks unable to make bail, is now planning to sue.

This should be the new "Carthago delenda est".

Kerivoula picta, the painted bat, looks like a figment of Halloween's imagination, but is real. Very sadly they're endangered, but the fact they exist is a pretty magical thing to think about today: www.batcon.org/bat/kerivoul...

Just remembering how good this cover is.

Dozle's malevolent spirit from episode 36 is a good touch

This Monday is final order cut-off for BATMAN/GREEN ARROW/THE QUESTION: ARCADIA #1. @gabrielhardman.bsky.social is in peak form here, you will not want to miss it! (And check out those gorgeous Kevin Nowlan and Cowan/Sienkiewicz variants -- the latter is also available in foil!)

Hey look, YouTube is doing a thing that no one asked for, benefits no one, wastes resources, reduces functionality, destroys original content, burdens infrastructure, and worsens the user experience all so they can push a false narrative about tech that fundamentally doesn't work the way they want.

will kim is still in ICE detention

Reminder that they're paying Campbell properly only after the studio disgustingly fired Melissa Barrera over her statements against genocide, which then led to Jenna Ortega quitting the franchise, so they were out their two leads.

ALL SOULS EVE (2024) Acrylic on Canvas - 9 ½” x 7” With leaves starting to fall and temperatures cooling, the color patterns on this scrap of canvas shifted me right into the Halloween spirit. 1/2

A sad update to the story of the 13-year-old Massachusetts boy who was abducted by ICE: He is choosing to self-deport to Brazil because even if he were to win his asylum case, his lawyer says it's possible he could still remain incarcerated.

Alright. Here’s my take: Sentai has been going, more or less continuously, for half a century. The franchise’s financial earnings have dropped precipitously from where they were a decade ago, and now they’re making about 1/4 what they were making then IMO: The fact they got to 50 was a surprise

Did you know that a LOT of Germans had to be told about concentration camps directly after the war ended?

note the legals: LRG's using Japan's arbitration system for orphaned games to reissue Little Samson—if you can demonstrate that you've made a genuine effort to contact/identify a potential rights owner to no avail, you can legally commercialise an old game by paying royalties to the JP govt, which…

not to be all i freaking love science or reddit atheist about this but i think it's probably bad how much space obvious quack shit is on the left. like you wanna play astrology that's fine but as soon as you claim you're healing people with zoom reiki sessions you shouldn't be taken seriously

I find it darkly amusing that what Saruman did to the Shire looks quite a lot like Company rule in India.

WOW! The Washington Post obtained the rest of the body cam footage showing that the drunk-driving ICE agent promised to check if the arresting officer's partner was Haitian. "I’m going to run some checks when I get back." He added that he would have him deported if "not legit."

I love this guy

One thing I feel like we should bring back is various nineteenth century variants of the labor theory of value that relied essentially on the dimension of TIME, especially favored by thinkers associated with the knights of labor (edward kellogg, george mcneill)

ICE claims 'Mobile Fortify' was developed "in-house" but the 'Fortify' facial recognition system is private Israeli software IDF contractor Corsight AI's core product used by the Israeli military to surveil Palestinians. bsky.app/profile/jose...

They are afraid of Kat because she stands for what most Americans want and believe. That's why they indicted her for protesting outside an ICE facility. But like you, she is not afraid. There are more of us than there are of them. She is going to win. She is going to make a better future possible.

Kat is being federally charged by the FBI for protesting at Broadview. This is a flagrant political prosecution by the Trump administration, which is trying to prevent free speech and free association. I am proud of Kat. Her movement is being targeted by the government. She needs your support.

Breaking on MSNBC: Two federal prosecutors have been placed on leave at the direction of the White House after filing a sentencing memo seeking 27 months in prison for a pardoned Jan. 6 rioter who brought illegal guns and ammunition to President Obama's house in 2023.

It should go without saying that these mass internment camps will be much, much more expensive to operate than just giving the homeless free or subsidized housing would be.
