traditional software development is dead

Google DeepMind staffers are pressing leadership on their plans to safeguard the 3,000-person unit from ICE agents. "As we have seen, government agency tactics can change and escalate quite rapidly. With offices in many metro areas across the US, are we prepared?" Scoop from @mzeff.bsky.social

but don't wish any harm on the brave american agents who did this or that's a TOS violation

My gosh. Alex Pretti was notifying neighbors that Trump and Vance's agents were chasing a family. A mob of agents then tackled him and broke his rib. He thought he was going to die. Then the very next week, he came back out to support his neighbors. And a mob of agents killed him.

I'm sure there was no connection at all to his subsequent extrajudicial execution (Source: edition.cnn.com/2026/01/27/u... / archive.fo/sNgS5)

What I think I find most funny about this is the idea that an “old intelligence officer” would know whether NSA currently has an exploit for Signal, know that the government is monitoring him, but post anyway what would obviously be classified information that he’d be prosecuted for disclosing.

That's quite a turn-around from claiming pepper spray is basically just a food product

Wishing death on people? Of course not, I wish eternal life on them! I bet Tithonus got some incredible bedsores

The nuremberg race laws were legal, so they were ok! Amazing fucking take, congratulations bsky.app/profile/joel...

The Bluesky app has a near-zero tolerance policy towards wishing death on people.

The first indicator you'll get that Trump's finally dead will be Bluesky banning people for seeming happy

thin blue sky™️🫡

I assume he's wearing a single glove to cover up the massive bruise all over his left hand?

Look, it's really very simple: cats have eminent domain

Willing to be charitable and assume that bsky is trying to avoid incurring the wrath of the USG when they're not banning USG accts for much worse shit than wishing that ICE agents would redact themselves, but personally I think going to bat for people who murder unarmed women and nurses is bad

@alt.valkyrie.hacker.gf oh hey twitter used the same protected class logic to protect terfs, anyway i'm coyot

This place is run by boot-throating savages

there is a post from the US gov 'department of war' on here that includes video of them actually murdering people and threatening to murder more people & it's been up since november

MPD were LRAD'ing people like last night so I assume most of the cops will mysteriously "not see" ICE kidnapping/murdering/etc

Fuck yeah!

sucked off the wrong post-rationalist and twitter's in absolute meltdown. they're calling it "the tpot dome scandal"

Tim Pool: “I’m not licking the boot. It’s my boot. I voted for it. I’m the one stomping…” This mindset is genuinely pathetic. It’s an alpha fantasy: watching state violence and imagining you’re exercising power rather than the one submitting to it. /1

"i like my somali neighbor" versus "but what about the universal values of the old stock heritage white anglosaxon race"

Why do you think they're trying to kill the internet, after all?

The piece, which doesn't mention Rowling's toxic politics at all, is by a conservative anti-trans opinion writer, because who else would the NYT tap to write about Potter?

This is embarrassingly on-the-nose textbook “psychology of fascism” stuff. Bitter, impotent tools getting to feel powerful by proxy watching brutality done on their behalf.

Downfall Bovino Edition. You're welcome.

my ex called me stupid for wanting to become a woman bc it was the inferior gender. never felt more motivated to transition in my lifd

10,000 seems like a lower bound at this point. Absolutely horrific, the regime is behaving with total impunity

Man who got his start with "gorilla mindset" continues to exhibit it

With apologies to the one person in this who isn't the hugest fan of his own memefication, I could not resist

Ta-Nehisi Coates: With the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, "Trump has clarified an inconvenient fact—the culture war is an actual war"

They've got me surrounded

Cybersecurity consulting, 2026: Reading this and trying to determine what to tell clients about travel to the US. www.snopes.com/news/2025/06...

Look, if you know of some critical vulnerability that renders Signal insecure, either you tell the devs about it confidentially, you exploit it for personal gain, or you blow the lid on it for clout. What you *don't* do is Vaguepost about how it's totally real guys and then refuse to elaborate.

TERF island is only getting worse

Now I want to know which CNN reporter or producer doesn't know the word "sycophant."

Good morning, friends!

I'm just saying, when I lived there, anarchists in Minneapolis were obsessed with the original Red Dawn. One got a custom letterman jacket for the Wolverines.

Does this mean we can bet on the FIFA Peace Prize next time?

Oh my god she admit it

I studied the blade. It was made of YAML

New at The Watch: I dug into archival witness accounts of the British siege of Boston prior to the American Revolution. They are remarkably similar to what we're seeing in Minneapolis. open.substack.com/pub/radleyba...

Looks like we're doing another round of "should foreigners get their official gold out of the U.S.?," given Trump's isolating attacks on America's allies.

Keep up the good work, everybody! 💖

Lemme guess: loyalty oath time?
