Text of the page (random words):
a senior staff attorney at the american civil liberties union said the trump administration has set a precedent of characterizing lawful first amendment activities as possible crimes we know that very high level officials within dhs and lyons himself have explicitly equated first amendment protected activities like video recording gathering information about federal agents and sharing that information publicly as essentially potential criminal acts that threaten officer safety said kim who is representing observers in memphis and minneapolis in federal lawsuits against agencies involved in immigration enforcement so their own definition of what potentially violates the law and could trigger surveillance against an individual includes activities that are squarely protected by the first amendment kim said forest service spraying round up on public lands trump loves the inflation cadet bonespurs new york and trump posted by blue heron at 3 06 pm no comments tuesday june 9 2026 allan holdsworth posted by blue heron at 6 11 pm no comments doge bags i think that this story at wired is worth looking at a federal it staffer filed a complaint about doge then went public shortly after elon musk boosted a post calling his claims false his brake lines were cut now he s suing for defamation in a new defamation lawsuit filed by berulis in a dc court on april 17 and made public this week berulis alleges that musk himself made him a target of further violence by falsely stating that berulis whistleblower claim against doge was fake the complaint was initially filed under seal because berulis maintains a security clearance that requires prepublication review of anything related to his work with the government five days after the npr story went live on easter sunday april 20 2025 berulis got in his car to drive to maryland to make a last minute visit to his uncle opting to take local roads instead of the major highway nearby within about five minutes of leaving his house berulis realized something was wrong as he approached a stop sign at an intersection his car wouldn t slow down he ran off the road and into the sign when he examined his car he found something that terrified him his brake lines had been cut unbeknownst to berulis at the time the night before on april 19 at 8 06 pm musk had reshared an x post from right wing influencer mario nawfal claiming that doge had been cleared and that people were asking the department of justice to investigate berulis like i needed another reason to despise elon musk posted by blue heron at 5 45 pm no comments fela kuti posted by blue heron at 5 32 pm no comments the bored samurai having a long background in martial arts i love to geek out on samurai movies have binged lone wolf and cub zatoichi and hanzo the razor the japanese genre is called chambara or sword fighting movies i found a new series recently on youtube the bored samurai from 1973 saotome mondonuske is hatamoto to the tsunayoshi shogun he bears a crescent shaped scar on his forehead that tingles when he senses trouble and signifies that he has the shogun s permission to cut people to pieces guy rips through twenty or thirty antagonists at a time with very little blood shown pretty much the same plot every time evildoers trying to overthrow the shogun and damsels fall in love with saotome left and right great acting for this sort of thing the lead is played by the excellent utaemon ichikawa his faithful servant kinai is also a hoot if you are a real nasty person our protagonist will unleash his dual frontal blade assault on you believe me you do not want that to happen oddly it looks like their is a stand in for the lead in episode seven that is never explained and ddidn t feel quite right still a nice quick binge posted by blue heron at 4 06 pm no comments monday june 8 2026 brand x posted by blue heron at 4 54 pm no comments backlit osprey posted by blue heron at 4 35 pm no comments lying liars there was a thumb on the scale for the president s version of events that i felt was a level of political influence that i had never seen in 37 years at cbs news scott pelley i have to admit to have been following the bari weiss soap opera with some regularity not to mention glee or should i say sad amusement because 60 minutes is now dead and cooked and we got to see who broke it right before our own eyes talk about deepsixing a beloved american institution at lightspeed sorry to see that stahl and the other two lone survivors didn t also take their leave and tell weiss to pound sand weiss is eminently unqualified to be in her position she was brought in to kiss trump s ass so that the paramount deal would go through she started up on the nicaraugua expose always preaching fair and balanced but never taking a swing at problems on the other side of the plate only towing the trump netanyahu line and if you look real closely you will see david ellison s hand right behind her pulling every puppet string he orchestrated the slaughter of sixty minutes but what is most interesting is that scott pelley finally delivered receipts of the hanging in an interview with the new york times published on sunday t he 68 year old pelley accused weiss of injecting falsehoods and bias into programming pelley told the outlet two of the things in the email include can we make the protesters look more violent now i m paraphrasing i don t have the quote but that s what was communicated to me and the other thing renee good s car you need to describe her as driving toward the officer pelley maintained that was the direction contained in the email even though video of good s shooting did not support such a conclusion a cbs news spokesperson told the times in response to pelley s statements that weiss had made four points in an email exchange on the segment that had no political motivation and were proposed solely to make the piece as strong fair and accurate as possible not everything she raised made it into the final piece the statement added i love the last sentence read it could have been worse we only did two of them now we are used to this sort of partisan tailoring at fox and newsmax but come on make the protesters seem more violent and how about we say she was driving into the officers even though the videos show that she was not this is disgusting right out of wag the dog you think larry ellison and his snot nose kid are going to deliver something rooted in truth and reality something that will help protect the american people from his ilk let me sell you a bridge how or why do they elevate people with as little news experience as weiss and bilton into these sorts of towering positions very simple because they are guaranteed to tow the company and corporate line as well as the maga line and ellison needs the president to make more money he thinks that we are that stupid is he right of course the right wing blogosphere just looks at this as another successful battle in the culture war the casualty of truth mere collateral damage but we have really lost something valuable here more on the story here at techdirt posted by blue heron at 3 57 pm no comments first we take manhattan posted by blue heron at 3 10 pm no comments artwalk portrait of maria trip rembrandt www rijksmuseum nl i wrote the other day about how much i miss traveling one of the things i miss the most is going to museums leslie and i always checked out museums when we were on our rare trips to europe and i would like to talk about a few of my favorites both in this country and overseas i understand that there are many more great museums than those i have been privileged to visit but that is the way it goes sometime and i can only talk about what i know my favorite museum in the world is the rijkmuseum in amsterdam why two reasons rembrandt and vermeer two of my favorite painters the holdings at the rijkmuseum are without compare you can see the epic nightwatch canvas there and many of rembrandt s full length portraits look ready to walk right off the canvas into the room vermeer s milkmaid executed somewhere between 1658 and 1660 is equally sublime much like the van goghs in the van gogh museum there is not a bad or weak work in the bunch all brilliant when we were last at the rijkmuseum we were privileged to see a comprehensive show on rembrandt etchings some worked so heavily that they were almost black as well as escher s metamorphosis what a great city to see art and the pancakes are really good too the next city for us for art is paris i love the musee d orsay which i find more pleasing personally and aesthetically than the louvre what piece of artwork sticks in my mind the sargent of course madame x and another similarly sized sargent work near the stairwell so captivating the other museum i visited in paris was the small picasso museum at victor hugo s old home but it was not a picasso that enchanted and captivated me there it was a degas self portrait where he was blowing out a candle i have never seen a photograph i wonder if it is still there such an amazing little painting i am not a huge picasso fan but there was one small work that intrigued me he did it at the age of fifteen the upper half of a torso perfectly rendered the bottom breaking into cubist shapes and rays the musee de l orangerie was closed for renovation when we were last there hope to see it in person some day we loved the louvre as well of course but a lot of the work is more formal and patrician than that found at d orsay still have to see the venus de milo and mona lisa before you die i suppose next grand city for us museum wise is madrid we loved the prado it hosts a lot of fine paintings including some from the incomparable velazquez this painting is titled los borrachos which translates to the drunks we loved the prado especially the large rubens canvases liked the goyas too but honestly there were some dreadful one s mixed in perhaps he was testing his commission s eyesight for sport hieronymus bosch prince of hell garden of earthly delights c 1495 1505 the bosch paintings are also exceptional we had a delightful day there they say it takes a week we had it down in a very thorough day we also visited the excellent reina sofia but unfortunately had no time to see the thyssen or sorolla museums which are reportedly excellent i would love to spend a month in madrid and never leave i love the people culture language art nightlife and food we did see a show of sorolla s garden paintings at the national gallery at the alhambra palace and it was fabulous the next city i can talk about is florence we had a wonderful time at the uffizi that is until one or both of us got lost which painting rises to the top of my memory definitely the caravaggio painting of medusa that one will keep you up at night although this michelangelo fellow was pretty slick too that is sort of where i am at with europe leslie is far more well traveled no tate for me or victoria and albert no hermitage no pergamon not because i didn t want to but life interceded and clipped our wings we get and see what we are privileged and allowed to experience in our short lifetimes as for the united states of america the list is quite different my favorite museum here is the art institute of chicago the child s bath 1893 mary cassatt cotton pickers 1945 thomas hart benton nighthawks 1893 edward hopper american gothic 1930 grant wood self portrait 1887 vincent van gogh place is insanely good in second is the metropolitan in new york love the tiffany columns the arms and armor miss it need to go back third for me might be the buffalo bill museum in cody which is five museums rolled into one love the legion of honor in san francisco a small museum that packs a mighty punch great rodins monets so many great works i used to love the deyoung but had a falling out with it aesthetically when it went so conspicuously modern i actually don t care for most modern or contemporary museums call me an old classical fuddy duddy i am sorry what else love the autry and the fred jones jr museum at ou at the latter i was allowed to hold a pizarro canvas in my hands actually had the run of the place one afternoon loved the amon carter the frick whitney and guggenheim ditto the huntington lacma and hilbert never have visited the field or the detroit institute or the national gallery some day perhaps nor have i been to the barnes or the boston museum or the philbrook or gilcrease anyway i hope that i can live vicariously through you on your travels if you are in a foreign land and are able to make your way to a museum please share your experiences with landlocked me and let me know what you see posted

hegseth lecturing europe on their immigrant problem the trumpian embrace of the hungarian nationalist orban gee that didn t work out vance lecturing the pope on catholicism today the vice president was chided by the english deputy prime minister for politicizing a crime that was way out of his lane the list goes on and on defense secretary pete hegseth used a d day speech in france on saturday to criticize europe over its migration policies saying that dangerous ideologies were storming the continent s shores in what he compared to an invasion today different european beaches are stormed by different dangerous ideologies he said boats and men arrive when will european capitals do something about that invasion or is it too late ever hear about minding your own business pete we really have no respect any longer for other nation s sovereignty be it ukraine or denmark venezuela england or canada this administration projects the highest degree of asshole i have ever seen in my lifetime and we don t mind our own business this attitude was perfectly encapsulated by one secretary of state marco rubio last week during a house foreign affairs committee hearing representative sarah mcbride asked rubio if he was aware greenland belongs to denmark to which rubio replied for now this smug attitude is what causes our allies to run in the other direction and search for new friends they can trust and rely upon how many countries has trump suggested be our 51st state i am forgetting i do remember venezuela mexico canada and last week he mentioned iran he was trolling canada along these lines this morning again good luck with that it will take a long time to regain trust and decency in our country not to mention our reputation hopefully one day the adults will once again be in charge
