@joshbartok.bsky.social and I saw a lifer today in South Boston! A brown booby very far outside it’s range (maybe due to the hurricane?). It’s been at this dock for the last two days and a parade of birders have come by to see it. It’s very cooperative! 📷 by Josh 🪶

Full quote from ex-ICE director Tom Homan: "Trump comes back in January... I will run the biggest deportation force this country has ever seen. They ain’t seen shit yet. Wait until 2025.” Tonight in Florida Trump pledged to bring Homan back. Homan, BTW, is a listed Project 2025 contributor.

Casual reminder that "summer flu" isn't a thing; you probably have covid. Sometimes it takes a few days for the tests to catch it. Paxlovid and metformin have proven efficacy to reduce symptoms and risk of long covid, respectively. Wearing an n95 or equivalent is an act of care.

“And that’s why the lessons of the Holocaust, which were never meant to provide cover & rationalize state violence & genocide but protect groups, especially stateless and defenseless groups under military occupation & siege from violent states —the lessons of the Holocaust are now very, very urgent”

The University of Minnesota has rescinded its job offer to Raz Segal for his vocal condemnation of the ongoing genocide in Palestine. Segal was slated to head the Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies, but is apparently too qualified.

“A Textbook Case of Genocide”: Israeli Holocaust Scholar on Israel’s Gaza Assaultwww.democracynow.org Raz Segal, an Israeli expert in modern genocide, calls Israel’s assault on Gaza a textbook case of “intent to commit genocide” and its rationalization of its violence a “shameful use” of the lessons o...

The state of Florida prevented cities from lighting up their bridges in rainbow colors for Pride month. So people did it themselves anyway.

Florida won't light bridges in rainbow colors. So Jacksonville's LGBTQ community did.www.jacksonville.com After the state said its bridges will be lit red, white and blue all summer, LGBTQ supporters used rainbow-colored flashlights on Main Street bridge.

I saw Fall Guy today. It falls squarely into my favorite category of studio film, which is "Better in almost every area than it has to be." Perfectly cast leads, a script with funny touches that don't feel algorithm-dictated, nice shaggy-dog pacing. This should be the H'wood mean, not an anomaly.

On the night of April 30, peaceful anti-genocide protesters at UCLA were subjected to a vicious assault by Zionists, Proud Boys and other white supremacists who chanted, “I’ll kill you,” “I’ll rape your sister,” and “What Israel does to Gaza, we’ll do to you,” as police looked on. t.co/CT5DYza3Wg
