Decided to delete all social media. Getting rid of all connected technology in my home. Hopeful that the blatant push by corporations to force us to be online 24/7 backfires and society takes a hard left to an offline way of life. Nature is still beautiful. Books are still good.

The Office of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) issued the following statement following the incident at her town hall in North Minneapolis. “During her town hall, an agitator tried to attack the Congresswoman by spraying an unknown substance with a syringe. Security and the Minneapolis Police Department quickly apprehended the individual. He is now in custody. The Congresswoman is okay. She continued with her town hall because she doesn’t let bullies win.”

C-Span has the full video where she refuses to leave her constituents after being attacked and continues the town hall meeting. I hope some of these aggregate accounts start sharing the full video instead of letting the piece of shit who attacked her get all the attention.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Man tackled to ground after spraying unknown substance on Rep. Ilhan Omar at town hall in Minneapolis.

Please. I beg you. Casted is not a word. The word is cast. Jim was cast in the play. Sebastian Stan was cast in The Batman 2. Back in the day, it was a big surprise when they announced that Heath Ledger was cast as the Joker.

Reeves should try and get Sean Penn to play Dent’s dad
Some fun BATMAN PART II speculation (just speculation): You don’t go after Brad Pitt to just play “the Dad.” I think Christopher Dent will be the ultimate bad guy - and a villainous member of the Gotham elite makes me think they’re doing the Court of Owls.

They do not do this because they are untrained. They do this because they are Nazis who want to kill people

Dismantling ICE is the moderate position. Unmask these thugs, arrest them, and make them answer for these horrors.

What happened in Minneapolis is sickening. ICE shot dead an unarmed American citizen in broad daylight. Instead of accountability, the Trump administration is now calling the young mother they killed a “domestic terrorist.” We need real immigration reform, not a militarized ICE.

Bush created ICE to terrorize Americans. Now, Trump is using it for murder.

New Yorkers built a movement around the belief that every family should be able to afford a dignified life. Today, as @GovKathyHochul and I mark our commitment to universal childcare, we're proving that a movement of the people can transform how government serves the people.

A witness shared this video with me showing an ICE officer shooting a driver in an SUV in south Minneapolis. DHS says the woman is dead.

All the ChatGPT commercials are like “help me find the best path to the store” and it’s so deeply insulting to human beings and brains, but people have completely accepted that they can’t think or do simple shit on their own anymore.

the idea that movie theaters across the united states of america are PACKED on christmas night because people can't wait to see a josh safdie film about a twerpy jewish kid trying to ping-pong his way out of the lower east side tenements in 1952… the movies are so romantic to me

Just found out there’s people in LA feeding scripts into AI that gives the characters voices and reads the script out loud for you. This is done with no one’s permission as a form of being useful and accessible…you can be sure these “useful” programs are secretly training on scripts. Just as this message is probably being used too.
