If you have Bluesky, the link is a video of a presumed ICE agent/"agent" who forgot to put his SUV in Park before jumping out to try and grab someone off the street. The car rolled, damaging other cars on the road as well as busting the SUV's door. He ran after his vehicle, jumped back in the driver's seat, was unable to close the door, and drove off. The SUV had no plates. Residents are asking for information as this was a hit and run and happened in a residential area where children walk and play.

FB memories reminded me of this post I made there several years ago, as a reminder that government officials often do not care about the citizens they supposedly serve and will look for a scapegoat just as eagerly as an exploitative billionaire business owner.

Remember that the local government was the driving force behind the Battle of Blair Mountain happening at all.

Remember that voting in your local elections is absolutely vital.

Regarding tweet in first image:

We have all seen the photos of supposed ICE and DHS agents outside Dodgers stadium ourselves, we know they were there and were stopped. Multiple news sources have multiple photos and videos of it.

The second image is unverified. The closest I found to news coverage hinting at this was an opinion piece in a Texas news site. But, it tracks with other things we have seen and I have noted in previous posts in regards to the lack of proper uniform or uniform gear and the continued refusal by the supposed agents to produce warrants or ID as well as the presence of Amazon bought police/military fanboy patches rather than actual unit patches.

Come, awe at the massive package of Supes in the intro mission because they spaced the skin wrong to the skeleton!

Notice how the good guys (and Deathstroke) have emphasized packages while the villains do not! (This is actually a thing, once you notice you cannot unnotice.)

Hunt Bucky Barnes a mafioso!

See how they white girl washed out Starfire!

Hey friends joining me in the DC Bondage Penguin game (DC Dark Legion) If you want to switch to my league and are not on my server (Earth 206) the way you can do this is to start a new character under Account, Characters, New Character, then select Earth 206.

Unfortunately, you'll lose any progress, but it's pretty quick to catch up with Exp when you're in a league as active as ours.

League invites are being glitchy, so you can just search for us manually under Join a League. We're 'GTM Knights' and there's no application. Just hop on in and help me confuse all the non tumblrinas with our blorbo bullshit 😂

If you don't want to switch servers, you can still add me via my ID: 297411026116638, and we can chat and send each other drones 💖

Edit: Because I got scolded for not using my invite code.

Use that link to get gems or some shit idk.

I hate that the western style kebab shops in my area don't do this because it sounds amazing. I miss UK doner kebabs.

What's the best Drunk food in Scotland?

It tends to be a hoagie - specifically doner kebab meat, chips and cheese in a wrap.

As a word it has lost all meaning because Western governments use it as a legal basis to target people who don't agree with them.

You can strip anyone of their rights within a legal system once you get them labeled a terrorist. Awfully convenient for them.

Vandalism now makes you a ‘terrorist’.

Another word which has lost all fucking meaning.

I would like to point out that post-exposure rabies vaccination administration is kinder now than 40yrs ago. Before the 80s you got the shots in the abdominal mucles and was brutally painful. As a child my mother was bit by a german shepard that no one knew who owned it and she was rushed to get the rabies shots. She acknowledges how batshit crazy it is that the breed remains her favourite as the experience of getting the vaccine was so crazy and painful it scared most people off dogs completely.

sorry if i’m being a party pooper but because rabies is apparently the new joke on here ??? please remember that rabies has an almost 100% fatality rate after symptoms develop so if you’re bitten or scratched by an animal that you aren’t 100% sure is vaccinated then GO TO A DOCTOR. it’s not a joke. really.

This is another reason why remote work for every position that can be done remotely should be the norm.

Children are out of school right now and very bad about knowing what is and isn't healthy for them, even teens. Especially teens. Parents working remote would be able to better keep an eye on their kids who might otherwise wander outside. This goes for dogs too, being at home means being able to keep pets inside without worrying about accidents. And neighbors can keep an eye out for each other.

Fewer cars on the road would help the environment in general. People need to AC their homes while at the office anyways so it makes no sense to keep large offices that also need to be ACed while those homes are ACed and empty. Less AC would also help the environment in general. (As would less office lights and fridges and coffee makers and printers and all the other electronics that office buildings come with).

People in jobs that have to be onsite would be fighting fewer people for parking spots closer to the job so those going into buildings would have less time outside going from vehicle to building. On hot asphalt that amplifies heat and can melt shoe soles.

Also, we wouldn't have giant empty office buildings taking up land and utilities everywhere. (I also think the US needs to follow the east Asian trend of putting high density housing on top of malls that have grocery stores so people have to drive less in general and can stay in a ACed structure while getting coffee or dinner or doing the weekly shop. This would also be a more efficient use of land at the cost of high density housing buildings being two or three floors taller. The Oakridge mall in California is perfect to stick housing on top of with a grocery store and movie theater and gym in it as well as normal mall offerings. But i digress.)

Hey, this is important and I'm gonna use up spoons I maybe shouldn't to spread awareness of this because it's that important! There is a wide-reaching heat dome expected over the next 3-5 days (as of 6/20/2025). Especially if you and your loved ones are immunocompromised, elderly, pregnant, or disabled, take precautions to stay safe. Stay inside with the AC on as much as you can. If you don't have AC, look now for a library, cooling center, or another community space that has it where you can spend as much time as possible in over the next several days. If you do have to be outside, limit your time outside, hydrate well with electrolytes, wear sunscreen and reapply it as needed, and wear loose fitting and light colored clothing so it doesn't absorb as much heat. Check on your friends and loved ones, especially those who are at high risk. Familiarize yourself with the symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke and what to do about them.

Also, Dr. Rubin (and his wife, who's really cool and smart too) is on multiple platforms, including Instagram and Substack spreading awareness of health issues and what's going on with public health in the US. I've found them both to be good sources of reliable information in an accessible manner. He also has a book on allergies and allergic diseases coming out, if that's something you'd be interested in learning more about. People like @thebibliosphere, I'm not sure if it's going to talk about MCAS, but he does talk about it in some of his videos.

"Signs of heat stroke

High body temperature

Hot, red, dry or damp skin

Fast, strong pulse

Headache

Dizziness

Nausea

Confusion

Passing out

Heat stroke occurs when the body is unable to regulate its temperature. This happens when the sweating mechanism fails and the body cannot cool down, according to the CDC.

Having a heat stroke can cause the body temperature to rise to 106°F or higher within 10 to 15 minutes.

How to treat someone with heat stroke

If you see any of the listed signs, call 911 immediately because a heat stroke can be life-threatening. Then move the person to a shady area and cool them off with something, but do not give them anything to drink.

Signs of heat exhaustion

Heavy sweating

Cold, pale and clammy skin

Fast, weak pulse

Nausea or vomiting

Muscle cramps

Tired or weakness

Dizziness

Headache

Fainting

How to treat someone with heat exhaustion

Move the person to a cool place, and give them some water to sip. Some cooling methods include wetting the skin, soaking clothing with cool water, or giving them a cold shower or ice bath if possible.

Call 911 if symptoms last more than an hour, if they get worse or if they are throwing up."

I have posted this image before but Tumblr search being what it is, I am uploading it again in the face of Trump's posturing about Iran.

From a friend who is a lawyer:

[theknightlywolfe]

Just saying.

tl;dr: if you see a roaming ICE kidnap squad you can follow them to find out where they are staying to protest the hotel or get pictures of them with their masks off or you can take pictures of the plates to share.

@thebibliosphere since we don't have a discord, this looks like a handy guide for our next Guardian

The temp has cooled to "not horrific working outside" temps today but only because it is heckin wimdy.

And while I have a long list of shit to do I also would like to not be constantly washing stuff out of my eyes and sneezing weird colours.

Someone reblogged a fight sequence from Hawkeye in gifs that crossed my dash and it reminded me of this post (and Tumblr search being shit it took me forever to find this post and it crossed past "why am I bothering" into "fuck you this is personal now" very quickly).

Because this was the gif:

Look at Yelena go over that table. Same move as in Thunderbolts.

Gif from post by: @womenofmcu

seeing people's reaction to the new yelena clip makes me realize again how badly the mcu fucked up natsha's fighting style.

like, all black widows are literally suppossed to be olympic level gymnasts, acrobats and aerialists.

that's kinda their thing...

but the mcu decided to make natasha wrap her thighs around a man's head 24/7 instead of making her fighting style what it's suppossed to be: acrobatic, artistic and even kind of ballet inspired.

"B-b-but it's not realistic!!😖🥺😢 She has the super soldier serum!!" It's the mcu! there literally was a purple man, who wiped out 50% of the universe using pretty stones.

I think you guys can survive when a woman (who's been trained in acrobatics & gymnastics since she was a little girl) uses highly acrobatic/gymnastic skills in her fighting style. And it's still not confirmed whether or not the Widows have some sort of serum but it's realistic (at least for me) that after decades of training one can pull off such skills without a serum.

Yelena I think, if nothing else, revels in the freedom to express her emotions. Which was not allowed in the Red Room even before the mind control. Kate desperately wants to be seen as the new Hawkeye and worthy of a spot in the Avengers and crying (in USian sensibilities) would not help her case at all.

And if they are, indeed, going to shove that grown ass woman onto a team with a bunch of high schoolers and call it the "Young Avengers" the pressure she would feel to not let others see her cry would be even greater as the lone adult, because if she, the adult, loses it then that increases the chances of the team breaking down.

I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that Yelena is more comfortable crying in front of Kate than Kate is crying in front of Yelena

I think y'all have a very weird concept of the generation divides. Its *over 60*. Over 50s are still solidly in the job market and have be dealing with online job hunts and LinkedIn for 15+yrs and know exactly how bullshit everything is.

you tell any adult over the age of 50 that you're looking for a job and they're frothing at the mouth to offer insight bc they think your young and/or lazy ass has never even conceived what they're about to tell you. and it's printing your resume onto a very disposable piece of paper and walking into the workplace and handing it to a random employee

We are creating a generation that functionally has induced ADHD.

As a note on the last quoted excerpt I learned to code when you typed it all out by hand (hated it) but 20+yrs later I can sit down and look at the script I manually did for my website and make whatever changes I need to and it works. And this passage just reminded me of a post I saw last week from a programmer who said AI redid his code and sorted it beautifully and parsed it into functional modules and annotated it wonderfully and it was so clean he could cry, it didn't work at all, but it looked so beautiful. And that is basically what LLMs do across the board. Make something slick but useless. And if you don't have the underlying understanding and analytical skills *you wouldn't notice*.

The general belief in business is you pay less to less experienced workers because they need to learn while doing and the lesser pay is because of the longer time they need to do a task, the greater chance they'll do it wrong, and the time and effort that will be needed by higher paid, experienced staff to cover their failings. So, over the last 30yrs companies have shifted to hiring cheaper but less knowledgable staff in the hopes that getting two (or more with globalization) not great people for cheaper than one experienced person will overcome the gaps. Generally it hasn't worked, but its gotten them close enough to not care that customers are getting a lesser product/service and the higher quality and paid staff are getting burned out. And now they hope that "AI" will replace the cheaper less, experienced staff. But what is really happening is that to "train" these "AI" to replace staff they are effectively killing the abilities of the people who would be the cheaper, less experienced staff in the employee pipeline. And when there is nobody who can do the basics they'll have to turn to the more experienced and pay them more to fix the now larger mess that has been generated. And those people, wanting to get back for being burned out and thrown out, are going to go for blood and it is going to cost big.

This is deliberate enshitification meets planned obsolescence times ten.

The study divided 54 subjects—18 to 39 year-olds from the Boston area—into three groups, and asked them to write several SAT essays using OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google’s search engine, and nothing at all, respectively. Researchers used an EEG to record the writers’ brain activity across 32 regions, and found that of the three groups, ChatGPT users had the lowest brain engagement and “consistently underperformed at neural, linguistic, and behavioral levels.” Over the course of several months, ChatGPT users got lazier with each subsequent essay, often resorting to copy-and-paste by the end of the study.
