Ruth Ben-Ghiat on why Trump's constant attacks on the US military and his disrespectful political stunt at Arlington National Cemetery matter:
"Such attacks must be seen in context of his attachment to America's enemies, Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping chief among them."

Nikon’s bringing tiny camera replicas to Japanese vending machines.
The company has teamed up with Bandai Namco to create detailed miniature versions of two classic film cameras, the Nikon F and Nikon SP, and two modern digital cameras, the Nikon Z FC and Nikon Z9.
All of the replicas in the Nikon Miniature Collection are non-functional, but they do have removable lenses. Unfortunately, they’re currently only available from gashapon machines in Japan.

A young, apparently lifeless girl lies on a hospital bed at the Baptist Hospital in Gaza City, her pink roller skate still strapped to her foot.
An Israeli air strike had hit a building directly in front of the space where Tala and her friends regularly played.
"She insisted on going down to play with her friends. She kept nagging, saying that she would not be late," Tala’s father, Hussam, told Middle East Eye.

(1) François Ruffin on X: Michel Barnier va-t-il revenir sur la retraite à 64 ans ? Rétablir l'ISF ? Non, bien sûr que non : Macron l'a choisi à ces conditions. Donc nous le censurerons.
Élu depuis 1973, il cumule 51 ans de mandat. Politicien professionnel, casé et recasé au gré du vent, commissaire européen rémunéré pour ouvrir à la concurrence et délocaliser...
C'est tout, sauf le changement.
C'est la certitude que rien ne changera.

My nephew visited last weekend for #Chicago’s #BikeTheDrive and almost his entire music library was 20-30+ years old.
Metallica, Nirvana, Alice In Chains, The Smiths. Though he wasn’t aware of Pearl Jam, so minus 200 points there.
I just heard Rusted Root unironically on a TikTok video.
What (musical) timeline is this, cuz it’s amazing (musically). #music
At this point in history, "fact checks" are just vouching for Trump's lies. Fact checkers should step up or step off.
New from me in @gilduran and @georgelakoff's FrameLab.
Fact checks in the Trump era operate like “Community Notes” on Twitter.
Sure, you occasionally get a gem, like a faked Trump rally photo or a Republican bragging about an infrastructure program he opposed.
But they’re never on Elon’s tweets. So they’re vouching for every lie he spreads.
Pope Francis on Thursday appealed for Catholics in Indonesia to engage with people from other faiths in a message of religious unity to an open-air stadium mass of nearly 80,000 people.

Ruh-roh. Among those unhappy with the corporate media and their lie-telling in favor of one Donald Trump is the Almighty Deity:
"In their obsession with treating both sides as equally bad, corporate media has once again gone full evil. They scrutinize whatever they can invent about Kamala. They totally ignore Donold’s constant crimes."

Spot on. I’m amazed that the Egypt bribe story just … went away
Also, the complete lack of coverage of Thomas Crooks and why he shot at Trump. I guess it also gets thrown down the memory hole. WTF?!

Everything Trump wants to do with and to the U.S. military may be seen as minimizing the global reach and influence of our armed forces abroad:"

in reply to William Lindsey • • •"withdraw from NATO, reorient some military resources to domestic repression, and pursue 'non-intervention' —a path that would make the imperialist conquests of Russia in Eurasia and China in the Pacific far easier.
This is the most sinister part of Trump's visit to Arlington National Cemetery. So many of his performances are meant for foreign eyes."
