A man who looked to be in his 40s was at our protest. He said he was out today because if his grandkids (who don’t yet exist) asked him where he was on this day, he could say he was at the #nokings #protests

I completely get that sentiment.

Something about to go down in L.A. Big mobilization of LAPD, including armed mounted units and rolling in of the LRAD (Jessica Palmadessa is streaming from near both). Also hear a police copter but with a crowd this size, it's been around generally anyway.

They are prepared for a battle, so they will probably eventually find one, with the size of the crowd today.

Are we now going to be told it's "too soon" to bring politics into discussion of, um, a political assassination?

If someone says they're trying to raise money to sue for a recount of an election that was certified in 2024 for an office that's already been been filled (like, say, President), that's a clue that something's not right. This is simply not a thing.

An important difference between this and the 2020 fraud claims is that here, you don't see the supposedly "defrauded" candidate amplifying the BS. Harris wants no part of this.

Also, you don't get a discount on an overpriced pillow for donating.

FBI announces it's offering a reward of up to $50,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Vance L. Boelter, wanted for murder following the targeted shootings of two Minnesota lawmakers and their spouses.

OK, that was four, not a "couple". A quadruple, then.

mattblaze@federate.social ("Matt Blaze") wrote:

A couple of things about these claims circulating that the 2024 election was "rigged":

1. The supposed "proof" is essentially the same nonsensical statistical gobbledygook that the MAGA people were claiming about 2020, with the parties reversed.

2. There is no legal mechanism to "recount" an election after the results are certified. None. The ship has sailed.

3. SHOCKINGLY, they need funds to continue their "work"

4. Nope, not linking to it. Not giving them oxygen.

I'm afraid I stole my general idea from @alexiterick .

But on the plus side, it was a big hit: honking drivers, everyone laughing, and people asking to take a photo.

My favorite of the people yelling at me today was the one who said that I'd never use the words I used if I had an experience with a loved one that, in fact, I have exactly had.

For the English speaking audience, "Путин хуйло" (Putin's a dick) was a chant Ukrainians invented in 2014, I think (if not before that). Glad to see it being creatively reused against another dictator.

Aside: Although the new embassy, which had been in the works for years, opened during the first Trump administration, he disliked the building so much that he refused to attend its official opening. Presumably not enough gold-leaf.

Deigned by the Philadelphia architectural firm KieranTimberlake*, the chancery building incorporates a number of sustainable design elements, and has been generally well received (international politics aside) by staff and local residents. It replaced a mid-century modern structure (by Eero Saarinen, now being redeveloped as a hotel) in the more traditionally fancypants Grosvenor Square neighborhood.

* Coincidentally, also the designer of Penn's Levine Hall, where I once had my office.

The new US Embassy to the UK, completed in 2017, is a roughly cubically-shaped glass box covered on three sides with a semi-transparent textured Teflon "envelope" that aids in temperature regulation. Situated in a landscaped compound on the Thames between the Battersea Power Station and MI6's famous Vauxhall headquarters, it's one of the most distinctive recent structures on that part of London's South Bank.
