The silence of US elites about this remains stunning & utterly damning.

Hockey: it's the sport with jail in it

SCOOP: Tensions at Palantir have grown in recent weeks over the company's work with ICE. On Friday, CEO Alex Karp tried to calm concerns in an hourlong video that offered few specifics—instead offering NDAs to workers who want to understand how it's empowering ICE. www.wired.com/story/palant...

Republicans have been getting walloped in special elections all year, so they want to make it damn near impossible to vote! I will be voting NO and urge every one of my colleagues to do the same.

this is now my whole personality

Mail was fun today!

Got the @404media.co zine in the mail!

Had to use the latest Adobe Acrobat. It’s now absolutely lousy with AI, of course. Adobe peaked with PostScript 3 in 1997. Should’ve packed it up then.

When democrats abolish ICE then they can have a little ‘affordability’ as a treat.

I saw some people calling it Rectangular February

I knew coal power plants were radioactive, but this is a surprising fact: youtube.com/shorts/0WNzb...

Because I feel like the timeline needs it, some pictures of Mocha and Ralphie. 🎞️ Kodak Tri-X 400 📷 Canonet G-III QL17

ICE and DHS are out of control and making our communities less safe. I will not support funding for DHS without clear accountability and stronger controls over the agency. It is time for the Senate to do its job and rein in this lawlessness.

Of course I'm tooting my own horn, it's my fucking horn

i'm not voting for anyone who does not have abolish ICE and put kristi noem, et al, on trial as their position I don't care if you're running for dog catcher.

Congress released a DHS funding bill that doesn’t rein in ICE nor significantly reduce its funding. Contact your reps to demand they vote no on any funding bill allowing ICE to continue its abuses: https://actionnetwork.org/letters/oppose-funding-for-ice/?source=group-ShortText

Busy week for contacting my representatives.

Just saw someone in the hospital elevator doing a little celebration dance as the doors closed. I don’t think he knew anybody saw it, but in the context of the hospital, you go dude. I hope the news is really good!

for example, saw this in last few weeks

I love this stuff

This is, in my opinion, not only the correct moral/ethical/legal position but also the correct political framing. Everyone can see the agency is out of control; everyone can see that it is constantly violating human rights. "Scrap it and start over" is the moderate position.

Post a car picture you took. Kodak Gold, Canon EOS Rebel 2000 #believeinfilm

The only good thing about all this is that it has brought to my attention that the Greenland flag frickin’ rules. #Erfalasorput

crazy to think how i struggle to ask for any kind of help but the president of the united states asks "can i have your nobel peace prize?"

NVidia chief creep says resistance and scorn for AI have done a lot of harm. Good. Nice confirmation it's working. Keep it up. Although the main thing is this stuff is harmful crap so the mind and body tend to revolt against it automatically.

Canada’s going to start getting some Chinese EVs! I just hope this quota deal is the first step to getting BYD to set up a factory in exchange for broader access.

I like a lot of Volts pods, but my god this was so good. Absolute must listen. Ethernet for energy - EnergyNet.

Cancelling any service these days turns them into real Nosy Nellies about what you’re doing now. Can’t you guys pay for market research?

Been wanting to try this for a while! #filmphotography #kodak

If the Dems vote to increase ICE funding for "better training" (overseen by whom? accountable to what?) I will never give a single Dem a single penny ever again

And all of this is really just nothing compared to what's coming down the pipeline. If the wishes of big tech come true, the growth of data centres will *very directly incentivise more coal generation* in the US, at a scale that's globally significant. Also see: bsky.app/profile/keta...

Very rarely in the building codes/ standards world will you see a map with this stark of a contrast.

Was sick much of this week and I see that at some point made this meme of my dog. Not sure what I was getting at.

“Uruguay did what most nations still call impossible: it built a power grid that runs almost entirely on renewables—at half the cost of fossil fuels. The physicist who led that transformation says the same playbook could work anywhere—if governments have the courage to change the rules.”

I’m a right to roam guy in general but beaches are so obviously a public right of way

I was just at a vigil in Madison WI for Renee Good and all others harmed and terrorized by ICE and fascism. We are pissed and our resolve is unshakable.

Saw this making the rounds today. youtu.be/33-qrn9N1Bo

This is my blood

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

Monster Energy drinks are older than ICE

The United States is behaving like a rogue state. The President has carried out an illegal act of war, kidnapped a foreign head of state, and is now threatening military action against NATO allies. This is a constitutional crisis. Impeachment must be on the table.

“squid pro quo” is this something?

AI data centers are a bad deal. I'm calling for a moratorium until we know how to protect ourselves from enviro. & energy costs. Any new data center must follow 3 rules: 1. No tax exemptions. 2. They fund new renewable energy. 3. That energy is publicly owned.
