In an obituary of all places, @nytimes.com chose to promote ignorance from white supremacists when they could've said, "Ubisoft has a full-time historian on staff, and creates the games through extensive collaborations with experts in ancient art, architecture, and literature." Which is true.

Walked 7.6 miles in London today. Pretty hot for it. Had a nice dinner overlooking the Thames with a view of St. Paul. Waitress came up and told me not to have my phone on the table next to the railing where it could get snatched because, and I quote, “don’t you know London?”
Threatening to kill negotiators is exactly the kind of thing that weak, insecure people think is strong.
they are on Threads fighting to the death over whether or not it is ableist for an author to use the word “scrying" (people might not know the definition!). how beautiful. people staring into their phones and getting so emotional over “scrying.” perhaps there really is magic in reflective surfaces!
Every time Trump threatens to attack Iran he is violating the terms of his surrender. Here's the very first graph of the MOU he signed:
Eliot Higgins@eliothiggins.bsky.social · 2mo agoPeace negotiations are going swimmingly
If Trump stuck two french fries in his nose and said he's going to tell Westeros to invade Narnia, Fox would devote 10 hours a day to the Narnian threat and the New York Times would run articles headlined "President Considers Expanding Conflict Zone; Critics Raise Questions"
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2mo ago"The president told me he's disappointed Israel can't put Hezbollah away. He went on to say, 'They can't do anything without knocking buildings down' & that he is close to giving it to Syria. He's talking about empowering the Syrian president to actually go into southern Lebanon and fight Hezbollah"
When I was a lad I wanted very badly to go to a movie memorabilia/funhouse type place in Hollywood that advertised on TV. My dad took me. After driving, and parking, and paying, and entering, it transpires that it was the WRONG movie museum/funhouse, without the same slide and so forth.
I never get used to how much cultists will degrade themselves by pretending to believe this lunatic’s nonsense.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2mo agoTrump on the reflecting pool: “We met with contractors today, will probably be forced to release and drain much of the water in order to do the necessary repairs, but will have them done as quickly as possible.” 😭
So this is new. At the hotel’s breakfast buffet today I saw a lady with a tissue stuffed into her nose and hanging down. Like just 80% of the tissue hanging out of her nose. Is this a thing In some cultures?

“.. I didn’t vandalize anything,” Hearn said. “I didn’t destroy or break or peel anything. By the time I realized what was going on, I was being put in handcuffs.” @washingtonpost.com www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2026/...
My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and— I said look. Look with your eyes! Oh now you’ve gone and touched it. The paint is peeling. My beautiful paint! I’ll have to call my pool guy back. Vandal! Antifa! I said look And despair Nothing but the algae remains.
OK we can add "ripping out a state of the art filtration system for the reflecting pool because Obama installed it" to the list of things Trump has done out of absolute bitter jealousy of the first Black president.
Americans have the right never to grow older. Americans have the right for things always being like they remember. Americans have the right for nothing ever to change. Americans have the right never to see anything new.
Jared Holt@jaredlholt.bsky.social · 2mo agoPretty rich stuff from Rep. Brandon Gill considering he’s a carpetbagger in his district — which he oddly never seems to find time to talk about — and only has that congressional seat because his father in law is Dinesh D’Souza, a first generation immigrant.
Breaking news: U.S. Park Police officers arrested former Olympian David Hearn on a misdemeanor charge of destruction of government property. Hearn said he touched the Reflecting Pool’s detached liner but “didn’t destroy or break or peel anything.”

London a bit muggy. Looks like we're in for a heat wave on this trip.
The President, today, flaunted an explicit violation of the constitution by showing off a jet gifted to him by a foreign country and this is how the paper of record is reporting it buried deep on its home page Legacy media should never claim itself as a protector of democracy
This appears to be the president’s "proof" that vandals are sabotaging the Refelecting Pool.
The person/people running this account may claim that they’re not fascists, but their posts are neck deep in fascist aesthetics. @kenwhite.bsky.social’s Law of Goats applies.

Parts of the Right genuinely believe that the “Binders Full of Women” mockery was so out of bounds, so cruel, that it justified becoming white nationalists.
