Brief summary of what happened last night at Delaney Hall: At 3 pm Governor Sherrill announced with the NY AG that she was sending state police to Delaney Hall, with the posture that this was to protect protestors and kettle them away (an oxymoron). Around 9:45 pm, protestors and organizers

Each week, we list some ways to get engaged in the city — whether that’s protesting, organizing with your neighbors, or testifying before your councilmembers. Here's this week's full guide — including a special event tonight at the Kennedy Center: 51st.news/washington-d...

♥️🗞️goodbye for now to @thebarbedwire.com — it’s been an honor, and any newsroom would be stupid not to hire @carakelly.bsky.social @briangaar.bsky.social @iamleslierangel.bsky.social and @candibolden.bsky.social

Get this through your heads. Trump, he don't live in DC. He lives at the white house when he's not slacking off in Florida. He don't see the real DC or touch it. He goes in a motorcade that veils DC from him when leaves the white house. His occupation of the whole city isn't about his protection.

An agent at Delaney Hall attempted to kick a demonstrator into the tires of a moving semi. This cannot be reformed. Video via @statuscoupnews.bsky.social

Almost all of our unhoused friends were born & raised in DC. This is an actual city where actual people grow up, live, thrive, struggle, & build communities. And they’ll be here long after this political regime is gone. Housing for all who want it. Now!

I agree that's a truly great tweet, so I'm reposting with ALT text:

they’re shooting crowd control munitions at crowds that include multiple members of congress, the governor, and a sitting united states senator. they fired pepper balls at the senator. they cannot and will not be reigned in by democracy, whatever’s left of it.

A pedal round the designated Arch Insanity space — why not on the actual Memorial Circle you ask? BECAUSE THOSE SOUP FORKS ALREADY HAVE IT PERMITTED FOR THE ARCH CONSTRUCTION.

Every summer I repost this article on how to spot drowning. Please read it and pass on. In the last few years I’ve had SIX messages from people who saved a kid’s life after clicking on the link from my feed. slate.com/technology/2...

if you have other photos or video of patriot front that *you personally took* and can attest are from today, please reach out. goad has tracked these images down to their origin point - these pictures have been reposted elsewhere without attribution, making it difficult to track sightings

Sadly, this is true. A significant part of ICEWatch is identifying these vehicles, figuring out who the vehicle belonged to, then tracking down the kidnap victim’s family to offer support.

Kitten season is upon us!

I hope the future internet holds onto Loss the way we hold onto Ea-Nasir

this is so funny like they want you to be so hyped for a pic so dark you can barely see anything

Melania Trump infesting the White House with bees is the funniest thing no one's talking about right now #Bees #WhiteHouse

“All those moments will be lost in time, like cum in the rain…”

a big part of this solidarity is taking it seriously when allies in peril demand better. We're not going to get through insisting upon gratitude for crumbs when the stakes are surviving state violence with their lives. Want to prove the work is being done? Post results and show your work.

Someone just told a pro AI bro in my comments: I’m not using it because it’s not smarter than me, I can see why you like it though.

Don't worry I'm sure *juuuust* enough democratic senators will flip to ensure this gets passed. I winder whose turn it is to be the bad guy?

If you're new here: I am chronically ill in a way that means my energy levels are very low and erratically distributed (Parkinson's and 5 years of Long Covid. Getting slowly worse.) I depend on the internet's kindness for thriving and surviving. I try to give back in entertainment and weird art!

It's fully a cottage industry, an entire circular sewer drain of grifters who makes their money from discovering and designating enemies for their audience to attack. They believe in nothing, they have no values, except perpetuating their infinite hate parade and skimming money off the mob.

This is the pavilion where I got gay married!

For folks using Shopify, they recently forced all your products into their Agentic (as in AI Agents) sales channels. @rrookstudio.bsky.social is in the process of turning ours off and disabling it. You should go do the same. Reposts appreciated for community visibility.

I love that the internet has grabbed onto a con man from literal thousands of years ago as a top-tier running bit.

Doctors say that fluoride helps build strong teeth. A guy who snorts cocaine off toilet seats and takes raccoon penises home for “further study” says it causes autism. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

ICYMI: We obtained the grand jury testimony of Rudy Giuliani, Lindsey Graham, Brian Kemp, Brad Ratffensperger, Cassidy Hutchinson, Marc Short, Greg Jacob, Boris Epshteyn, Michael Flynn, Chris Carr, Lin Wood, Mark Meadows, Cleta Mitchell, and more. You can read & search the transcripts on our site👇

⚠️ Louise Lucus is one of the architects of Virginia's successful redistricting effort, so it’s almost certain this is politically motivated:

On this day in 1933, Nazis raided the Magnus Hirschfeld library in Berlin. The world’s greatest collection of LGBTQ books and scientific papers were looted and later burned, erasing decades of research into sexuality and gender identity. ‘Where they burn books, in the end they will burn humans too’.

Here's a step by step guide to stop Chrome trying to use the 4GB local AI model it secretly downloads: 1. Go to chrome://settings/system and disable "On-device AI" 2. Go to chrome://flags and disable all the flags in the 2nd and 3rd images. 3. Delete the model folder from your Chrome user data.

Chrome is reaching into users' machines and writing a 4 GB on-device AI model file to disk without asking. It is the weights for Gemini Nano, Google's on-device LLM. Chrome did not ask. Chrome does not surface it. If the user deletes it, Chrome re-downloads it. www.thatprivacyguy.com/blog/chrome-...

Many years ago a friend tried to make a Land Before Time parody game in RPG Maker. I made a parody into video for it by slapping Littlefoot's face on Squall's body in the Final Fantasy VIII opening movie. When Land Before Time 14 came out, I added the other characters & put that version on YouTube.

As an example, two weeks ago House Republicans proposed a $4 million cut to D.C.'s HIV treatment and testing efforts. To be clear, *these were not cuts in federal dollars*. This was prohibiting D.C. from spending *our own money* on HIV treatment and testing. This is the shit we have to put up with.

Thanks for the opportunity! @jemsmith.bsky.social and myself are actively working on a 2 player co-op 2D physics-based coffin carrying game called Fallbearers and we just need steam wishlists right now. store.steampowered.com/app/4508230/... Here's a little gameplay video:
