I like to get my morning coffee all set before catching up on the news and commencing my morning screaming.

Mind you, the pastor was not just a conservative or Trump supporter or what have you. The pastor is the LOCAL DIRECTOR OF ICE. It is the equivalent of a German pastor being an SS officer

per the story, the “Abolish ICE is bad” dude is also a “former Department of Homeland Security and Customs and Border Protection official”

I just woke up from a nap and somehow while I was asleep, everyone on the bus has figured out we are not going to the right place

I’ve said many times over the past decade that I owe an apology to any writer I ever called a hack for having the villain 1. just spell out his evil plan 2. have no motivation besides just being evil

I miss when COBRA’s plans was just over the top cartoon villainy and not somehow US Policy

who the fuck WANTS their posts to go viral, have you ever had that actually happen? it's like getting a winning pull on a slot machine if wasps started pouring out the bottom instead of quarters

Remeber, the Simpsons didn't predict shit. America just hasn't worked on any of its problems in over 60 years.

I’m going to keep hammering this point: the excesses of ICE we see now are entirely contiguous with our system of policing more broadly, and the reason that almost no politician wants to threaten real consequences for ICE agents is because it opens the door to making the same demands of the cops

jack asked if i would sketch up a poster to tell people in nearby neighborhoods about the partnership between flock and ring, and this is what i came up with. it can be printed on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper.

Trump is privately worried about the "optics" of ICE raids and his advisers are looking for ways to soften them, Axios reports. I'm calling bullshit: The terror and violence cannot be hived off from the broader policy agenda. They are 100% intrinsic to it. New piece: newrepublic.com/article/2053...

just a little PSA: dark sunglasses/any sunglasses will not block facial recognition software because they rely on infrared cameras that can see right through them. You need sunglasses that *specifically* block infrared too.

This is Dulce Consuelo Diaz Morales She is 22 years old and has a U.S. birth certificate ICE detained her for -25 days- and now is being forced to wear an ankle monitor by ICE because they question her citizenship status

Every time the Trump regime uses the words "funded protesters" and "outside agitators" news outlets need to cut to this photo from last week. ICE has invaded these communities. Outside agitators don't show up in their fucking bathrobes.

The absolute accuracy of this.

americans, please: do not take the bait by resisting ICE yourselves. just give the democrats $20. they will give it to ICE so they can train more guys

Just imagine that for every conversation you have there’s a 50% chance that someone will say you should use asbestos

TIL

I think about this all the time.

These are totally unsupported claims with no links, citations or even statements like “sources familiar with the matter.” I read basically every single story about AI efficacy at big companies, especially salesforce. These are either made up or egregious extrapolations of things.

ICE has kidnapped so many people from their cars that the city had to put out this statement. Let that sink in.

Somewhere out there Kathy Hilton is still calling out letters

Not Kathy Hilton calling out letters during the countdown #wheeloffortune

i just got a new job at Bluesky Inc. where my job is i'm the person who decides if your links embed successfully on Discord or not. on a good day i spend about 7.5 hours on the toilet

was not expecting the introduction section on the dilbert wikipedia to conclude quite this brutally holy SHIT

Today’s absurd quick woodwork project - an airflow standoff for my PC case so fluffy hot air enjoyers can’t completely obstruct the top vent

Going through my old notes, this quick list of bullets I jotted down 5 years ago, to explain tech culture to someone outside the industry, really holds up.

You’re not imagining things—the plums that were in your icebox are *completely gone*. Here’s why that’s bad news: • They were *your plums*, that you were saving for breakfast. That makes this personal for you. • They were *sweet*, so whoever ate them *enjoyed* them. That’s unforgivable.

Video message from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome H. Powell: www.youtube.com/watch?v=KckG... www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/s...

Patty, a woman observer in Minneapolis, was abducted from a car by federal agents today. She was released and talked about her experience in custody. An agent said, "You guys gotta stop obstructing us. That's why that lesbian bitch is dead." [@statuscoupnews.bsky.social Please clip this for Bsky?]

Watching doc about resilience that reaffirms many changes I made last few years to my mental outlook (I read a LOT of brain books). Brains are hallucination engines. If the story is the world is shit, everything is fucked, brain reframes every interaction this way. It impacts behavior; shuts us down

kid looking up from his cheese pizza, asking without a hint of irony: dad is there a way to give more flavor to pizza

How to get rid of the annoying new Discord "Status" notifications on your phone - Open Discord app - Tap "You" tab at bottom right - Tap gear in upper right - Scroll near bottom, tap "notifications" - Scroll to bottom, uncheck "Status Notifications'

The Norwegian Nobel Prize committee has been forced to make a statement, declaring that the prize cannot be transferred. It's hard even to comprehend how stupid this has become

Do I contradict myself? Very well then I contradict myself I am large I contain mullet dudes

At some point, these sorts of markets are going to just dry up, right? After this, who outside the White House would put any money into it? You know it’s rigged, and it can be rigged in either direction, just contrary to how the majority is betting.

My roommate is a teacher and has reported that ICE has been hanging around Septa stops and depots in the interest of abducting kids on their way home because they aren’t allowed to enter schools. They claimed to be part of a “Septa Strike Force” which does not exist. Boost if you can.

Location data from phone companies requires a warrant. But ICE believes this data doesn't, because people give it up "voluntarily." That's according to this internal ICE legal analysis shared with us. Ignores that people don't know what apps are tracking them www.404media.co/inside-ices-...

New: we've obtained material explaining how an ICE surveillance system, called Webloc, works. Draw shape on a map, see all phones available there, follow them home. All without warrant “This is a very dangerous tool in the hands of an out-of-control agency.” www.404media.co/inside-ices-...

The surprise invasion of Venezuela isn't imperial expansion driven by the dictates of capitalism; it is somehow even sicker. The Trump administration is behaving like gambling addicts chasing clout in an attention economy. Venezuela is a fucking meme stock. www.theverge.com/policy/85807...

I've heard multiple sources say that Tab Clear was created for the express purpose of killing Crystal Pepsi but the only source for this claim is a single interview

this is how every outlet should refer to X

why does my remote have a privacy policy I must agree to, I simply want to eat fruit and watch rich housewives fight

Good ol' Deater78 is still cranking away on the Apple ][ port of Peasant's Quest and recently got the rains down in Peasantry working. Check out his vid here: youtu.be/DGcj_Xp9E70?...
