🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

New— An American citizen boarding flight from Boston to Lisbon just now told me after showing boarding pass, every passenger stopped on jetway by two ICE agents demanding to take their photo. When passenger asked why, ICE threatened to detain them. If they said no photo, couldn't board/TBD detained.

I grew up hearing stories from my father about how folks abducted by Franco’s secret police would routinely “escape” to the roof of police HQ and “commit suicide.” The obviousness of the lie was itself an intimidation tactic.

Hell yeah #BladeRunnerLive

BREAKING: James Rodden, an ICE prosecutor who the Observer identified last year as the operator of an X account that posted “America is a White nation," “‘Migrants’ are all criminals,” and apparent praise of Adolf Hitler, appeared to be back at work Tuesday. www.texasobserver.org/ice-prosecut...

Everyone knows “regular clothes under Bloc clothes”, but also “extra Bloc underneath regular clothes, but actually it’s a ninja outfit in case you need to hide”

this is the funniest thing anyone’s ever tweeted

The Portland 2020 summer protests depleted the entire federal supply of teargas, years of stockpiling. They still haven’t recovered.

Stargate SG-1 Finale in a nutshell: “Life is a tragic and beautiful thing, huh?” “It really is. Now let’s get back to work”

I'm not a historian but my analysis is it's "Not good" when a government constantly commits crimes and tells the legislature, courts, and general public "What are you gonna do about it"

I think it's good to keep getting mad about evil and unjust things, if only to remind yourself and everyone else that these things are in fact evil and unjust. I don't think it's naive. Nor is it wise and sophisticated to adopt a "You fool, nothing matters and nothing good can ever happen" posture

this is why you don't give them an inch

2001: A Space Odyssey. There was a guy talking through the whole first half, in a conversational manner, narrating the story in granular detail. I could see people stirring, and eventually asking him to stop during the intermission. I think they waited for the lights to come on (nervously)

Holy shit, ai slop is everywhere I’m just now seeing I just replaced my 6 year old phone, and jumped ahead 10 iOS updates. Finally seeing things in the apps that I was trying to avoid.

As a child, the tv show “How it’s Made” was a favorite.

Give Jamie Loftus a Golden Globe you cowards

a new genre of photo in the last year is federal agents working for ICE pointing guns directly at photographers

Democrats, coming off a historic national protest against fascism and a country-wide electoral sweep:

This is the thing here - it’s pretty obvious the Dems don’t want to abolish ICE (right now), but the genie is out of the bottle. Normies are screaming for ICE agents’ heads. You can’t slap a rainbow sticker on this one bsky.app/profile/atta...

Blade Runner is one of the best FRANKENSTEIN movies. And I’m not gonna explain

I’m still using Pandora for music, no Spotify algorithm can match my 15yrs of “thumbs up” playlists

Goddamnit, another IG advert for a frivolous product i very much want to buy. But integrity means that I won’t. I did not consent to be enticed by brass key-blanks that look like medieval castle keys, or like Victorian drawer handles

I feel like we have the opportunity to turn David Lynch's quote into this moment's "Keep Calm and Carry On" and it's a far better rallying cry too.

Today is the 60th(!) anniversary of the first public report on the dangers of fossil fuel pollution. What happened? A whole lot of fossil fuel bullsh*t and corruption in service of a whole lot of nothing. All while pollution and warming escalated far beyond what scientist predicted in 1965.

BREAKING: Starbucks workers have just authorized a massive strike. Union Starbucks baristas voted to authorize the strike by 92%. Now baristas in over 25 cities could launch an unfair labor practice strike on Thursday, November 13th.

In hindsight, that billionaire’s submersible that smooshed, we shouldn’t have been so hard on them using a gaming controller for steering. It makes perfect sense. I can still blame that guy for everything else, but the controller is fine.

Sorry, I was distracted thinking about that “don’t worry, be happy” song. Sorry, I was just remembering a joke from a 30 year old movie Sorry, what’s that? I was just imagining how a bat “sees” with its ears

I do have a litmus test for my candidates now and it's that I want them to be genuinely pissed off, not pretend pissed off

Chicagoans are starting to do exactly this.

New incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people www.404media.co/ice-and-cbp-...

There is something truly remarkable about Generative AI. Several years in this revolution, half of the US GDP dumped to make these tools free, and i can't think of a single generated artifact, text, image, sound, video that had a significant cultural impact.

Utah has just approved a 1,300-person “mega camp” for homeless individuals,This camp lacks transportation, features locked units, and even imposes forced labor. They refer to this facility as “work-conditioned housing,” but we simply call it what it is: modern-day internment.
