  1. another random guy set up a̶n̶d̶ m̶u̶d̶e̶r̶e̶d̶¹ t̶o̶ p̶r̶o̶v̶e̶ T̶r̶u̶m̶p̶’s̶ “i̶n̶v̶i̶n̶c̶i̶b̶i̶l̶i̶t̶y̶” so he could justify building that fucking ballroom in the White House².

    i never believed the first attempt was real. i don't believe there was a real attempt now; but i will tell you this: prepare for the Trump DoJ to #aislop the evidence.

    UPDATE:

    ¹ apparently they apprehended the person instead

    ² as if he’d live, even less be in office, long enough to see it completed

  2. Janice Hough: "Why would you bring unarmed media IN closer to a shooting scene, when in theory there might still be a active gunman? And why not rush Donald Trump off the stage? I am not a conspiracy theorist in general, but yeah, this is pretty unbelievable."

  3. Steve Bannon has Hollywood movie making experience. He may have scripted the phony assassination attempt on Trump. Old man Trump standing up after being shot and defiantly raising his fist in the air, pictured next to an American flag was, for the Trump campaign, too good to be true. It was not true.

  4. 🎭 Wow, Chris Hedges thinks he's cracked the code: the Holocaust isn't just history, it's a tool for villainous world domination! 🤯 Cue the dramatic reading by Juilliard's own Eunice Wong, because nothing says "serious journalism" quite like #audiobook #theatrics. 🎧✨

  5. What #Katie #Britt’s misleading, melodramatic speech revealed about the Republican Party

    The question for the #evangelical #voters who make up much of the Republican base is
    -- how much more politics can #outweigh #morals in the name of whatever conservatism even means anymore?

    Politico reported Monday that an evangelical group is 🔸spending north of $60 million🔸 to get a twice-impeached, repeatedly indicted former president back in the White House,
    so perhaps that is our answer.

    The whole “moral majority” movement in conservative politics always involved #theatrics and #cosplay.

    Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene took it to a new level by deploying Hunter Biden’s sexting photos during a House committee hearing.

    And now the future of the Republican Party is sitting in a kitchen purporting to speak honestly with voters of faith while telling a lurid lie for political purposes.

  10. Justice #Engoron tells #Kise et al, that he'd consider their complaints about his #LawClerk to be a continuing objection (that’s when a judge has already overruled the original objection, & instead of attys constantly stopping the trial w/objections, it is preserved as if they did. It's really for appealing).

    Engoron: "I don't have any other comments about my staff or how I communicate w/them.”

  11. #Kise said he just found out about this issue from the news, & it raises additional questions of misconduct.

    Kise suggested that the "defense will have to give serious consideration to seeking a mistrial” (& there’s the word #Trump wants out there).

    Kise: "It is incumbent upon us as lawyers & I would say, respectfully, the court, to take this very seriously.”

    At this point, Andrew Amer of the NYAG's office essentially tells the Trump team to put up or shut up.

  12. Over the past year or so, I've been struggling to articulate exactly why the practice of #data #protection has frequently felt like a defeatist slog. A few days ago, I read an amazing piece by Zvi Mowshowitz (#thezvi), and it helped to define a form for all the thoughts swirling in my head.

    It's really very simple: The current approach most of us have towards data protection and #privacy does not motivate anyone towards positive action that meaningfully protects data or privacy. Instead, we're encouraged to spend cycles on pointless privacy #theatrics, so that we can signal to others and ourselves how much we all care about privacy.

    This is a broken model, and I've got some ideas for how to fix it.

    I really think this is one of my better pieces, so if you're in this space (or interested) have a read and let me know your thoughts.

    I posted it on LinkedIn here: linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:l

  13. "#Russian love for #theatrics & media propaganda compromised Russian military operations once again....Russian troops, which were supposed to hold their position & inflict damage on Ukrainian de-occupational forces, ran from their position & retreated without fighting.

    3 pillars of #Russia are “Putin, army and Russia as an idea”. Idea of “a strong Russian Army” is destroyed. Idea of Putin as a “strongman” is tarnished & Dugin is calling for “a murder of the Czar”..."

  14. @arh
    "Be peaceful" and most people were, from what we saw which admitedly we didn't see much.

    But after the narratives about bad ballots and the more genuine issues of suppression by socialMedia giants that we all saw, they would've wanted more #theatrics. It had been pumped up across the news cycle, and a loitering crowd, touring the halls was probably not sensational enough.

    They wanted steam to be let off that day.

    Maybe we are too cynical, but you can't blame us, right?
