solemn warnings to respect international law, all while Australian companies sell fighter jet components to the Israeli forces.

Given the complete illegality of these arrests, how is this not considered kidnapping of Canadian citizens?

New, from me.

this is a huge deal and a sign of the changing legal tides for big tech. the plaintiffs attorneys here were early adopters of a novel legal strategy that uses product liability law to sidestep tech companies' go-to defense (section 230) and hold them accountable for defective or negligent design

how the US has dealt with these things and being online and watching how “advocates” and “ seasoned” people deal with challenges and have for the last year I am do incandescent with rage I don’t know what to do with myself BECAUSE THIS HAS BEEN MY FUCKING LIFE AND IT TOOK MY DAD

Trump’s critics have raised concerns about the trades in oil futures, S&P 500 ETF options and prediction markets made ahead of the president’s announcements.

Woo, not currently infected. There were, of course, contingency plans if I were, but I'd have been bummed about missing the last day of #SREcon.

Like, Step Zero in watching propaganda is that you do not under any circumstance “gotta hand it to” the propagandist, because that means the propaganda is working

OH: “asynchronous transfer of risk” #SREcon

According to documents filed this morning by the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of NY, ICE has been lying for a year — not only to the public, but to the courts and to prosecutors — about being authorized to make arrests at 26 Federal Plaza and other immigration courts. (1/2)

Whoa, I thought this would never happen, but it seems there's enough raspberry pi and other arm64 Linux users that we're getting official Chrome on linux/arm64! issues.chromium.org/issues/37481...

it is also, to be clear, not a good outcome! as much as american hegemony sucks, “a significant portion of the global energy flow goes through a formalized protection racket run by hardliners in the IRGC” is actually bad

the girl guides in the UK just kicked out all their trans members specifically bc they were threatened with a lawsuit from a rowling-funded group

Saw this get a lot of play yesterday/this AM. FWIW, overnight Taiwan's MOE announced they had secured LNG supplies through end of May and had half of June procured already too. Cargoes go to where the bid is highest and Taiwan isn't in danger of losing that auction IMO.

well, that situation isn't going away any time soon. ops.group/blog/middle-...

Some interesting stuff in here including the fact that Iran has set up a $2mm/ship toll to exit the Persian Gulf safely.

virgin HDPE [read: all of it, plastic recycling is a myth] is like, 50c a pound, this is a 60% increase in the price of plastic

fucking lol, Reddit uses (or at least for public presentation does) "snooguts[.]net" for their internal DNS domains. ahahaha. (one of ours is hny[.]wtf)

Yes, @honeycomb.io already has a sticker for this, in case you're curious. We're a SaaS company (stickers as a service) #SREcon

One thing I've found in the law and AI debates is that the people who are the most bullish about how AI will transform law are not the people who understand either the field of law or the function of the technology very well. Often, they're people who think law is mechanical. It's so not.

This touches on two themes from my recent posts 1. PMs vibe coding production features means you have to decide what’s your on call strategy when it goes down. 2. Is working on dashboards as a PM a side quest or part of the main quest of my role? Do the boundaries of my PM role still make sense?

I think people who haven't experienced it also don't realize how psychopathic and lasting the harassment can be if you're unlucky, or how often it can cross into offline stuff (especially, but not exclusively, for women.)

When the global financial paper of record says the market is fake and being manipulated by the President you just know we are entering the Cool Zone

the US is a greater risk to Canada than vice versa for the land border between the US and Canada. it's where all of the illegal guns are coming from.

The #Hatzolah ambulances are a Jewish contribution to lighten the burden of the National Health Service, just like f.i. St John's is a christian one.They serve ALL Londeners irregardless of background and faith. Shame on the many who claim otherwise, contributing nothing www.bbc.com/news/article...

She keeps returning to the motte that Israel lies a lot. But “should you trust Israel’s analysis of the attack” and “did Israel plan and execute the attack” are two very different questions!

it's amazing how much he keeps falling upwards

watching the normies install opnsense because it's winemommin' time

Very impressed with the ventilation in the #kubecon public areas; the CO2 is usually in the 450-500 range; 435 in the press room with 10 people in here, which is about the same as being outside. Hope the session and lunch rooms and especially the parties are like that

Wild that we allow nine random lawyers in a nation of 325,000,000 to set national policy by just making up whatever facts they want to fit their ideological priors. And we have not bothered to really think about how to stop them from doing that.

feeling good about my decision to drive rather than fly to the US today...

so they *are* capable of showing their faces!

ICE at the Atlanta airport:

Trump: I’m going to put ICE in the airports, where they will target and arrest all the illegals, especially Somalis, because I hate the Democrats Headlines: Trump puts ICE officers in airports to ease long lines, provide relief for weary travelers

The new goal of the war is to undo the fuckup we caused by starting the war, American century of humiliation in full effect

being trans in London is waking up every day to a headline about how the government is banning dangerous tranny hormone drugs and then getting on the tube to go to work and staring down an advert like "hey cis person! got a headache? why not try HRT?"

Federal agents used cell phone data to place her near the protest (she was picking something up nearby), compared her d.l. photo to footage from the demonstration and concluded she resembled a participant and, 6 weeks later, stopped her car, cuffed and detained her for hours in a federal building.

So excited for all of my client meetings next week in Seattle, and seeing folks from the wider SRE community at #SREcon! Make sure to say hi if you're there :) I'll be hosting the Monitoring and Observability open space with Daria Barteneva on Tuesday afternoon, so come with opinions and questions!

Okay, but it's going to be hilarious watching people who thought they signed up to brutalise brown immigrants having to be incredibly bored rent-a-cops dealing with white Karens who forget to take their belt or shoes with metal off.

The new thing is landlords using ai photos for their property listings. Totally legal. Total scam. The whole economy is oil and scams.

A quick reminder of Starmer's leadership pledge number 4.

This horrific story gets worse when you find out how this young woman originally came to the US: as a 17-year-old on Jeffrey Epstein’s plane

#$UAL *would* drop this on a Friday night wouldn’t they.

OH I MISSED THIS HAPPENING claude.com/blog/1m-cont... didn't realise that they'd removed the premium for long context! I'd been artificially turning long context back off because I thought it was extra usage or extra expensive!

CBS News employees received the following message from Bari Weiss and Tom Cibrowski informing them that massive layoffs are taking place.

You don't elect a guy with a Nazi tattoo, you don't pal around with the guy that won the presidency on a platform of extermination, you don't advance the conspiracy theory that US Jews are all loyal to the state of Israel. You don't treat fascists as governing or legislative partners.

Look @palcu.net, we're in El Reg! www.theregister.com/2026/03/19/a...

Honestly don't even have the words to express how grim this is, but also absolutely the right call by the Danes

Someday, both people on this website and deposition witnesses will learn that the most important asset they have in any discussion is their credibility and that "not being caught lying or evasive" is why more important for persuasiveness than "not admitting bad facts"
