My friend @peterhchang getting ready to film a FIRE TORNADO
HOLY CRAP
Amazing.
This is at an art space called NIMBY in Oakland that is sadly closing down soon (possibly due to actual NIMBYs). But the artist does this at Burning Man every year, so you can see the fire tornado there!

India just revoked Kashmir's autonomy, cut off internet and phone service, shut down schools and colleges, expelled tourists, arrested regional political leaders, and flooded the province with tens of thousands of troops.

Meanwhile Turkey is probably about to invade northeastern Syria, putting U.S. troops in the line of fire:

And tensions between Iran and the U.S. are still running quite high:

The idea that immigration is an invasion - part of a race war to replace whites with nonwhites - is incredibly common in rightist circles.
The idea that Democrats are importing immigrants in order to import votes - which the El Paso killer repeated in his manifesto - is pretty similar to fears of Irish immigration in the 1800s:
And the idea that (mostly Irish and German) Catholic immigrants were going to launch a surprise genocide of Protestants was surprisingly widespread even in the late 19th century!

This would unironically be a good idea.
Broke: Kamala Harris is a cop

Woke: Kamala Harris is a cop
Note: I basically got this idea from @HankReichman, who pointed out that unlike the 70s, in the 2010s it's the Right being crazy and disturbing the peace and fomenting violent revolution.

i see the British Army has withdrawn from Drone Wars at Gatwick Airport. Here are some lessons on fighting drones, from the Iraqi army. Or, Why Shooting Down Drones is a Bad Idea.
Islamic State used a lot of drones in Mosul - and weaponised them by dropping 40mm grenades from off-the-shelf models.
This was, very unsettling for Iraqi forces. At a front line in east mosul, an IS drone flew over our heads and these counter terrorism forces responded like this. I think one guy even got out his pistol and had a go.
