The Australian Smart Traveller website re the USA-

Useless. No warnings about social media content on your devices, the need to be extra careful with visas etc, the need to avoid protest sites etc, the heightened risk of arbitrary detention for people of colour etc.

NEW: Federal judge rules that Trump's activation of National Guard was illegal.

Judge Charles Breyer issued the ruling Thursday in the case brought by California officials, but put the ruling on hold until noon PT Friday. DOJ has already appealed.

Unpleasant video game price fact:

The Ocarina Of Time, absolutely revolutionary when it came out in 1998, cost $60 in 1998 dollars. $60 in 1998 dollars is about $120 today.

Ocarina Of Time looked like this: youtu.be/mF9CxAulk04?list=PL41…

If you're trying to decide whether or not to pay $100 for GTA6, well, funny story: GTA6 looks like this: youtube.com/watch?v=VQRLujxTm3…

The people who say we aren't paying enough for video games? Of any size or scale?

They're probably right.

Electronic Arts' revenues were 7.5 billion last year. GTA V alone has made Rockstar 9 billion dollars. I think they're doing okay.
in reply to 90s Script Kiddie

@90sScriptKiddiw Yeah, but this is an argument that we should be paying more for video games, not less, so independent shops can actually make a living.


Israel has attacked Iran and plans to keep it up. Bad, bad news. Trump’s team utterly incapable of handling this very dangerous situation. theguardian.com/world/live/202…

Trump's team in on the plans and ready to use as further excuse for militarization of the US and use of Marines against protesters at tomorrow's #NoKings events.

From @aaron.rupar on 🦋:

Newsom: "This is what [Trump] does. He creates a problem and then he tries to be a hero in his own Marvel movie ... he initiated those raids. He significantly increased the scale and scope of those raids. That's why he wants the National Guard."

Yeah. Quite familiar with that tactic, having been a long-term victim of it in the past. First they create the problem & then they offer a solution.

*A* solution - not a choice.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has said Floridians have a right to hit protesters with their car if they need to "flee for your safety."

DeSantis was speaking on The Rubin Report on Wednesday when he said:

"We also have a policy that if you're driving on one of those streets and a mob comes and surrounds your vehicle,
and threatens you, you have a right to flee for your safety.

"And so if you drive off and you hit one of these people,
that's their fault for impinging on you."

DeSantis' comments come ahead of the "No Kings" protests planned for June 14.

Protest organizers have said the demonstrations are non-violent and are providing deescalation training to people taking part.

NB: this ruling yields a temporary restraining order (TRO). This means Trump has to now rescind his/Hegseth’s orders re National Guard. But the case is not over. 1/

in reply to Heidi Li Feldman

There will be fuller briefing and factfinding before the court decides for good that Trump has acted illegally. And of course there will be the usual Trump regime appeals. But, while all that is happening, Trump may not keep or put federalized National Guard troops in California without acting through Newsom. 2/2

"Don't got all your cows in the barn" I have been living in the South too long
in reply to 4 8 15 16 23 42

"Don't got all your cows in the barn" is a folksy, informal expression that means someone is not thinking clearly, is confused, or is perhaps a bit crazy or foolish.
It implies that their thoughts or mental faculties aren't all "gathered" or in order, like a farmer who hasn't managed to get all their livestock safely back into the barn.
🤣
