Supervisor Dorsey, at a moment when the federal government is threatening to invade San Francisco, we need more ways of holding illegal police surveillance accountable, not less. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

I accidentally glitched out an animation I was working on and created a perfect example of what the passage of time feels like to someone with ADHD

Thanks Carl!

The first Democrat that comes out and says every single motherfucker doing this will be investigated and prosecuted -- has my vote. That goes from the ICE agent all the way up to the President. I'm kinda one issue voter that way.

ICE / DHS shot a woman in Chicago because she has been working to identify the secret police behind the masks. According to the @chicago.suntimes.com story it sounds like federal agents used live rounds as the victim needed to be brought to the hospital. chicago.suntimes.com/news/2025/10...

“They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others." she was “wrapped in the Israeli flag and paraded like a trophy." when you're definitely the good guys

Hack the planet!

Incidentally, this was also the time that life started getting a LOT easier.

My most fundamental shift in progressive left thinking came when I stopped treating life like a competition that had to be won, and more like a collaboration to be contributed to for the well being of all participants.

Things in my home now at 48, that teenage me would have considered signs of “old people”: - multiple thriving plants - multiple pairs of reading glasses lying around - a yoga mat - a bidet - vitamins

FML How did I not notice this before.

certainly plenty of antisemites demand that anti-zionist jews pass purity tests before they’re willing to believe we deserve to be treated with a modicum of humanity (which is antisemitic) but lots of antisemites — often the most violent of them — really don’t give a shit about our beliefs

Friday Sticker Thoughts.

BREAKING A federal judge has sentenced Sean “Diddy” Combs to 50 months — 4 years and 2 months — in federal prison.

Google has determined that ICE agents are a vulnerable group and has used this designation as pretext to delete an app that helped communities determine where ICE raids were happening www.404media.co/google-calls...

The elder-transwoman youtuber voice explaining computing cadence and timbre. 🏳️‍⚧️🫶 You know what I’m talking about. The nerdy excitement inflections mixed with very clearly enunciated firmly knowledgable uptalk. EXCELLENT background nerd content for neurodivergent focus.

Gavin Newsom announces that any California university that caves to Trump and signs his “loyalty pledge” will be immediately defunded. “CALIFORNIA WILL NOT BANKROLL SCHOOLS THAT SELL OUT THEIR STUDENTS.”

Nice.

Huh, so as a "Security Professional", there is no way 90% of companies would sign off on this. I am 100% not allowing a random tool to gain access to employee accounts. Your end game capitalism shit does not get access to my environment.

Well that’s a CFAA violation if I ever saw one. Let’s be clear, if you share your employee login with a service like this not only could your employer file a criminal complaint against the service, they could fire you and have you prosecuted as well.

Like NFC/RFID locks, not only this is a ginormous red flag you do not want to live there, its a pretty much guarantee you are about to have the worst issues possible, only to face eviction for being 15min late with rent.

Really bummed the rapture didn’t happen. I was really looking forward to being left behind.

People love to claim women fail upward, and while that is NOT the case 99% of the time, Bari is in the 1% of fail-daughters for whom the false stereotypes ring true. I wish the most stressful bankruptcy possible on her and her family… As morally bankrupt as she is, there’s no other benefit from her.

Posting hole.

Honestly kinda bummed they didn't "jump him in".

Honestly insulting that I'm expected to believe this is a human man and not some sort of flesh suit

San Francisco here, this city is quite safe, and like every other American city has some rough spots, but by and large SF is extremely safe.

On 9/15, Microsoft starts enforcing mandatory MFA for Azure CLI, Azure PowerShell, Azure mobile app, and your IAC tools (non-Service Principal based) I created a CA template you can import (report-only) to audit these apps (add your IAC ones): github.com/nathanmcn...

I know for a fact that Antifa is not an organization because I don't get emails from them asking for money.

A VPN is not a tool for anonymity, and while it can protect your location from some companies, there are many other ways companies may track you. ssd.eff.org/module/choo...

SSDs are pretty reliable in a technical sense.
 That is, unless you make a really, really bad mistake in firmware. 
 HP had a line of ~20 different Enterprise SSD models for datacenter use.
 In exactly 3 years, 270 days and 8 hours, every one is irrecoverably bricked.

Oh god the senile dicktater is being gaslit by Faux News playing old clips to rile up viewers like him.🤦🏻‍♂️

Finally Scott Wiener does something worthwhile.

A huge win for trans people in California: the state legislature passed five bills protecting our rights! Now it's time to call on Governor Gavin Newsom to sign them. Contact him before October 12th: transfamilysos.org/action-neede... #TransRights #TransYouth #TransCalifornia

these bills are quite strong individually but as a group they’d combine to make california so much safer for trans people of all ages, cis californians who follow me please take a literal minute of your day to call Newsom and demand he not leave us to the wolves (bill numbers are in linked post)

Italy has moved me to tears for 3 days straight. Bravo ❤️

When a car’s interconnected systems shut down for the final time, it was probably CANcer.

I was asked why (from their perspective) I’m “suddenly all about trans rights”. Two reasons: - I have always strongly believed people have the right to be who they want to be - America has “suddenly” made trans people (a tiny minority) an unrighteous target for discrimination and dehumanization.

Btw "everything is a distraction from Epstein" internet people & "everything is a distraction from health care policy" official Democratic accounts, eventually the overrepresented-on-Bluesky people who care most about collapse of the constitutional order & ethnic cleansing will lose our minds.

Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE. If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease! Donate at blinkingguy.com

I rarely post on threads…. But when I do….

Christians bring all the (well deserved) hate upon themselves for being so fucking fake. They get people to hate them all by themselves.

saying it now: nationalized Digital ID's are the Mark of the Beast from the prophecies in the book of Revelations that all the right wing evangelical extremists have been talking about.
