[upbeat zohran voice] I'm here at the Palace of Justice in Nuremberg, Germany, where 80 years ago some important progressive work started [smash cut] but hasn't ended. So here's what we're doing:

They're literally running out of lawyers in a state where the district judges are practically at war with the administration.

The St. Bartholomew’s Day Massacre, as family legend has it

Haiti’s TPS continues for now!!!!! And zowie: https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.dcd.283214/gov.uscourts.dcd.283214.124.0_1.pdf

Amazing coda here.

there is an incredible amount of mgp lore coming out of sw washington and portland right now

The first public speaker to come up with the "I can't hear you, let's do that one more time" bit must have thought they were pretty hot shit

a truly generational chart crime... (plus one I made for comparison)

I'm not sure that the second possibility is weird. The primary thing we know about unsolved mathematics problems is that they have not been solved by mathematicians. Mathematicians who are smart and can think and reason really well.

Glory to the heroes of the Republic 🫡

It sucks when you find out you’re the only true believer

The President shit himself on live TV. Melania bombed. The Epstein files are sending shockwaves through the Alt Right. Liam and his dad are back home. A Texas district that was DEEP red for 35 years flipped blue. Pretti's killers have been identified. Small wins, but you can feel the change coming.

Liam is home now and we are grateful to @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social for traveling to Minneapolis with him and his dad. Welcome home Liam ❤️❤️

I head out to the march I see a local grandmother holding a cardboard sign and taking a selfie "REMOVE THE METADATA, CAROL," I scream through my balaclava She looks confused. typical civilian. she’s already in a database. she’s practically a snitch.

I can’t stress this enough. The state of 4th Amendment law is that the cops can’t force you to type in a passcode but they can force you to swipe your finger or present your face. Never stop using passcodes/passwords to unlock your devices. And consider additional code to unlock Signal.

Beginning of January / End of January

Eric Adams’ Day One move with Rikers was to fire a prominent well-respected reformer who was targeting things like OT and med leave abuse and replace him with a union lackey. This seems like a real correction in the right direction.

Feels weird to describe Andor as a “comfort watch” but I suppose it makes sense, in this moment, for a story about resistance in the face of fascism to be that. And despite taking place inside a cartoon space cowboy universe, it feels as grounded and serious as anything I’ve watched lately.

Every journalist whose theat model includes this administration/the federal government needs to be aware of this. Signal for desktop + touch ID + they have a warrant = the feds can read any of your signal messages that haven't disappeared.

I think about this a lot. A LOT. I am a creative person in a hustle culture industry with a PhD in psychology and a fascination with learning and creativity and a chapter ABOUT performance in my upcoming book (The Psychology of Software Teams!) called "The Performance Paradox" 😂

As a side note, it’s funny to see so many of these emails with thirsty academics repeatedly enact Marx’s bit in the 1844 Manuscripts about the power of money. “Oh Mr Epstein, your house in New York is enormous and, unrelatedly, your questions at dinner were so intelligent, so insightful, so deep.”

The very well-accepted term for "stripping the legal protections of a minority group and then sending a paramilitary force to carry them away" is "ethnic cleansing." They are planning to ethnically cleanse Springfield, Ohio.

dudes rock

two clout-poisoned bluesky elders sneak into each other’s posters chats, call that skeeted rivalry

For Liam.

A real-life example of a dollar auction

Pretty sure the filter feature on GitHub Projects was built by the team responsible for site reliability, in the hope that you'd just give up and use Jira

The greatest minds of our generation spent a couple decades building these databases to optimize ad click rates, and here we are.

Deep drag on cigarette "Just when I think I'm out... they pull me back in."

I don't know why they need to make short AI films about the American Revolution when the perfect one was created 18 years ago www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbRo...

Bring back XP SP2, cowards

Kind of surprised he’s moving on to a publication that’s only six years younger

“Roderick Spode’s Mastodon instance” holy shit

This is Brad Lander doing pulltabs in the Uptown VFW. He’s one of us now

An entire community of thousands, here legally, having been demonized with deranged lies about eating pets, is about to be arbitrarily DECLARED illegal so they can be forcibly ethnically cleansed. I don’t want to hear one more fucking word about comparisons to Nazi Germany being overwrought.

I have friends everywhere.

every Signal chat of laypeople is losing their minds over the wildest opsec advice imaginable and every Signal chat of security professionals is like “dude wtf” The vast majority of problems can be avoided by not being foolish, being aware of your surroundings, and using common sense

Look at what they took from us

Lots of great replies here if you’re looking for ways to support the great work Mainers are doing to fight fascism and care for each other.

Good for him. Good for him. Good for. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good for. For. For. For him. Him. Him. Good him. Good him. Good for him.

Sesame Street has uploaded a bunch of classic episodes to YouTube that are free to watch, including the very first episode from 1969, the one where Mister Rogers visits, and the episode where Mr. Snuffulupagus is finally revealed. [kottke.org]

Downfall Bovino Edition. You're welcome.

Last year, a human trafficking victim trapped in a crypto scam compound in the Golden Triangle region of Laos contacted me. He then proceeded to leak to me a huge collection of the compound's internal materials. Then he had to get out alive. This is his story. 🧵👇 www.wired.com/story/he-lea...

Deleting Signal now that I know it’s compromised. Find me on the “how many days are in a week” lifting forum.

Those who know me know that I have never once handed it to the BPD, but I’ll give them this one

Minnesota should demand Greg Bovino's teeny tiny CBP vest and helmet and put it in the Historical Society next to the 28th Virginia's Confederate Battle Flag we also rightly own.

The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember: - Organized a city wide general strike - Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence - Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE - Flipped public opinion against ICE

if you're looking to learn about what are some of the lowest-hanging fruits in terms of local elections in places that directly help ICE, this is for you:

Feels like Trump is pretty much unconditionally surrendering as support collapses
