"Find lost dogs with Ring's new Search Party" is the tag line they're using. "Lost dogs"

judge a quarterback by whether or not he defrauds millions of dollars from poor people

Very excited that my councilmember @cd4losangeles.bsky.social is running for mayor!

There was once a plan to run a bus lane and a protected bicycle lanes down Westwood Boulevard. It might have been one of Los Angeles' great promenades. Instead, NIMBYs killed the proposal, and now it's a round-the-clock car sewer where people randomly die in extremely violent ways.

they should make a movie series about how it’s irresponsible to use technology to mess with the natural order of things for profit

This is, in fact, why "don't use Google search" is going to be one of the top three privacy improvement recommendations anyone knowledgeable will make for most people! Because when you combine "Google search query history" with "devices that ping nearby each other" --

*sigh* here we go again. Your phone is not listening to everything around you 24/7 for advertising purposes. *If* you have voice activation on for the assistant, the mic is listening for the activation phrase: the processing power for listening for a single specific phrase is much lower.

hi, part of my job is being with grieving people and I want to say to you very gently DO NOT DO THIS, STOP TRYING TO MAKE THIS A THING

This is an irresponsible piece that blames the crash on a purportedly inexperienced Army crew, and briefly in a few sentences, the Army itself. These claims contravene the very safety hearing that Wise draws his material from. 1/9

As an expert in theoretical physics I can assure you that is not the case.

At the moment these are all the CRJ, CR7 and CR9 Canadian made aircraft airborne in North America

the explosive says “letsa go!” before it reaches its target.

@thisismissem.social been a valued consultant for us at @germnetwork.com, helping us with her deep knowledge of ATProto and OAuth. You can hire her too and you should!

The Battle of Midway was in June 1942, Yamamoto shot down April 1943 but IJN remained dangerous if on back foot. Leyte Gulf, the Philippines, Iwo Jima, Okinawa still remained ahead. We have the momentum; the work of securing justice lies ahead of us.

If you take someone with no ethical fiber and educate them you get J.D. Vance, YLS JD.

I wrote about my childhood friend Alexi Pretti. Please read it and share it and remember him as a human being. @theverge.com

bovinos convoy is driving towards mar a lago

I investigated aircraft crashes professionally. This is insane.

Learning to eat hotdish with a knife

ICE took the flower man in Echo Park 40 minutes ago. He’s at this corner every day. I’ve bought flowers from the man and woman here for anniversaries and birthdays. Lemmy loves to smell them whenever we walk by in the mornings. I was just at the street corner 15 minutes before it happened. Fuck.

Wait, they’re “Disney villain rich” and they’re protesting?

M. Gessen, gift link: The soviet secret police too "were ruled by quotas... Fundamentally, the terror was random. That is, in fact, how state terror works. The randomness is the difference between a regime based on terror and a regime that is plainly repressive"

Marimar Martinez was the first US citizen shot by ICE. They claimed she was a terrorist. Said she was brandishing a weapon. They lied. Video footage exonerated her and showed the ICE agent shot her five times. He bragged to other agents “five shots, 7 holes”. A 🧵 of ICE abuse

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

The thugs who murdered Alex Pretti in cold blood, who clapped after he was shot, are part of the same vile organization that killed Anastasio Hernández-Rojas, and so many more before and since in relative obscurity. www.latimes.com/california/s...

Alex Pretti’s last words were “are you ok?” said the woman next to him who ICE also pepper sprayed in the face.

1/3 If lawful carry serves as a justification for lethal force, then we don't actually have a right to carry. A right that can be used as a retroactive justification for killing a person exercising it is not a right in any meaningful sense. You could build a broad coalition on that.

Many of us have been pointing out that the readiness with which these agents have drawn weapons, and gotten their fingers anywhere near the trigger, is WILDLY contrary to best practices and the sort of thing that inevitably leads to people getting shot.

There no longer exists a shred of political or moral difference between an armed DHS agent and a British redcoat on the streets of Boston or Lexington in 1775. The DHS man is worse, actually, as he has volunteered for service against his neighbor, is paid handsomely, and could quit any time.

🚨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.

This is what happens when bro leaks the group chat

I can’t go to the grocery store alone right now because ICE is racially profiling and abducting people who aren’t white

"Denmark is small… But it has tried to uphold its end of the bargain. It lost more soldiers per capita than the United States did in Afghanistan." @isaacstanleybecker.bsky.social on the bewilderment of the Danes, as Trump threatens their country over Greenland.

It was 10 degrees when they did this.

This week: Jay Caspian King and Scott Galloway prescribing mandatory national service. Did either of you do anything resembling service? Hmm? I would credit you for getting in a Honda fit and yelling at ICE but somehow suspect that doing things instead of talking about it is beneath you.

Now the actual military has to dress like it’s not the military cuz federal law enforcement agencies dress too much like the military

You're telling me a woman was forced to give up her trophy to a biological male

They’re literally acting like fucking Russians

I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen *Everyone has stories like this*

At first glance the Apple-Google Gemini partnership seems more analogous to Apple-ARM partnership (custom implementer of a foundation technology) than the search or maps deals folks are reaching for out of familiarity. The implications and prognosis are vastly different.

Putting yourself in dangerous situations (in defense of your community) and crying when bad things happen is the definition of courage and sacrifice. Mourn our fallen, hold the line, keep showing up.

Oh my gosh you guys! The House just passed my bill to extend the health care tax credits for three more years!

Liquid Glass hate has reached sportsball discourse

The Minstrel fell!—but the foeman's chain Could not bring that proud soul under; The harp he lov'd ne'er spoke again, For he tore its chords asunder

Seems like Hampton Inn Lakeville was pretty fuckin' justified.

my friend @manzirae.bsky.social's not online cousin is out in minneapolis right now, and sent this image of a makeshift memorial from the site of the protest

masked, unidentified goons who assault and murder with impunity. a literal gestapo.

"Although it would be reasonable to assume that Border Patrol agents would not expose themselves to needless danger, the PERF report uncovers instances in which Border Patrol agents intentionally jeopardize their safety in order to manufacture a pretext for using lethal force." – March 11, 2014
