Lol. O sea, que cuando hablo y canto en mi lengua es por odio a los que no hablan lo mio? Si eso es asi, los monolinguos gringos estos nos odian a todos.

More I think on it, more I suspect this will be my path next couple of years: to find the uses of the open side of the house, slowly shedding dependence on locked "foundational models"* *Except for Claude Code for now, which might as well end up being a long-term thing brought to scope. We'll see.

The Wright Museums Instagram page is HILARIOUS. Think The Office but it's the staff at a Museum for Black History. Better believe this is on my list of places to visit. Gentle Spades "I'm a veteran"

I have found similar uses to be indeed useful. They are so niche when you compare it to the "general public" that it seems out of balance for the overall cost of these systems. Not afraid that we will lose these applications because of the corporate to open pipeline, but it makes you wonder.

I wrote a little thing about the iconic Blush by GALLIM www.dance-enthusiast.com/get-involved...

gestapo gets help from neighbors, this one just happen to call the wrong number

The more you know...

Built an object detector from zero-labelled data in one afternoon with help from Claude Code (it can do more than vibe code, TODO apps...) SAM3 on HF Jobs → correct the errors → train YOLO → repeat. Three rounds: 31% → 99% accuracy on historical index cards from @natlibscot.bsky.social

I got a little pot of money to give Claude Code access to a few of my DH grads. I myself use the Pro version at $20/m, but that might be overkill for grads, who are probably just going to be messing around with very pinpointed things. Has anyone tried the API option? Thoughts?

I don't like to talk about stories before they are fully reported, but I am writing on ICE in a Minnesota town that isn't Minneapolis. However bad you think it is, it is worse. It is a campaign of pure terror whose only strategic goal is more terror. There is no strategy other than to break people.

And people are getting angry about Anne Frank comparisons www.npr.org/2026/01/21/n...

Can't wait for this one. The OG covered by the New G.

NEW: A ton of additional details about Mobile Fortify, including the company behind the app, which is being used by ICE agents to scan the faces of countless people in the US. The app sends that data to CBP, which uses AI to match the info with existing records.

What are journos using these days for secure file drops that maintain the absolute anonymity of the sender?

READ: Leqaa Kordia has been held by ICE since her arrest in March 2025. Her attorneys say the White House is targeting the last remaining Columbia University protester in custody for her activism, using racism and procedural tricks to prevent her release. mondoweiss.net/2026/01/the-...

Errrr.... With all due respect, gfy, Mr. Governor.

This was a needed exhibit, in place for over 15 years. Removed this past month. It included Oney Judge's story, a woman enslaved (& stalked after escape) by President George Washington. (Image = exhibit art panel; photo taken by William Fischer, Jr., 2017)

Some people like to look at internal fascism for an explanation of how we got here. Others like to look externally at fascist history around the world. When it's time to vote for a Meme Lifetime Achievement Award, I will be voting for this one:

i have just gotten off a productive call with sauron where i laid out our requests - nazgul bodycams - morgul knife must remain sheathed unless suspect is determined to be carrying the one ring - shelob will be the new point of contact

When is the president going to resign? Not gonna resign, you say, well then why do you expect him to ask any one of his goons to resign? My momma always said go straight to the top.

It can get lower!

I have to support this motion. Modern temporality could use a jolt. Not sure I want zodiac signs, but yeah, an alt logic to calendaring. Love it.

Is Cory Booker really “not sure” what he’s going to do about the 🧊 bill? #NJ, can we all please just call him and tell him what he needs to do. www.booker.senate.gov/contact

It's all of it, innit?: a) The USA's own racist and authoritarian past b) The new-fascists in Europe c) The Imperial boomerang d) A dash of new cuckoo shit that could only have happened in the TikTok era.

The nurses are pissed

We are observers, not protestors. We show up to document and film the atrocities ICE is committing. Using 5 year olds as bait. Kidnapping senior citizens. Breaking down doors without warrants. Murdering poets and nurses. Media has all of that information because *observers* were there to document it

My youngest son just asked me, "how can people just lie like this?" He was visibly troubled. He's also mature enough to ask rhetorical questions, and this probably was one. Didn't stop me from blurting, "they can, and they do."

A registered nurse working at an ICU for veterans—executed in broad daylight. I fear we might be entering ticking time bomb territory.

A coworker took this from her apartment. I haven't seen a crowd this size before. Maybe the first Women's March? But it was much much warmer that day. ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA!

Star Tribune showing how its done. And guess what? Turns out it’s just a matter of accurately reporting facts.

Demonstrators as far as the eye can see. Current status of the march in Downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota for Ice Out of Minnesota. They are turning onto 3rd Street from 5th Avenue.

You can find the @elotroalex.bsky.social archived here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWpZ...

The simple fact that 7 Democrats voted yes to ICE is an all-caps sign that we need a very different party—not only one that primaries these 7 and a host of others, but one that makes sure that when you vote like this, you pay the political prize within the party.

“She tells us in Spanish that migrants can’t use corporate rideshare services because there have been reports of Uber drivers taking people directly to ICE.” A country of snitches. www.nplusonemag.com/online-only/...

Today, Minnesotans are striking (“no work, no school, no shopping”), protesting, and marching in response to the ICE invasion. “We are a northern state, and we are built for the cold, and we are going to show up…” [theguardian.com]

I mean...

TODAY, Friday January 23rd, 2026: We are ALL residents of Minnesota. We ALL want #ICE_OutForGOOD 🚫 🧊 Also: #ICE_OUT4ReneeGood 💔

1. ICE has STOPPED PAYING for medical treatment for its 73,000 detainees ICE has not paid its bills to 3rd party providers since OCTOBER and the situation will likely persist for MONTHS, a Popular Information investigation reveals Meanwhile, critically ill ICE detainees are not receiving care 🧵

Dems are likely to win next 2 rounds *no matter who we nominate.* I'm gonna need someone else besides Newsom. Thanks.

🧵 Trump administration AI policy is widely described as deregulatory. This description is misleading. What's happening is not the absence of governance but its rearrangement--intensive state intervention operating through mechanisms we don't typically call regulation. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Power is coming again. I vote we rearrange the chairs *within* the Democratic party so we can do what needs to be done.

"Bolsonaro ... is unlikely to appreciate the approved reading list. It includes Brazilian works on Indigenous rights, racism, the environment and the violence meted out by the country’s 1964-85 dictatorship – a regime Bolsonaro openly supported." Brazil, you're doing amazing. This is inspired.

Seeing headlines about how we should stop saying it. A good sign that "Abolish ICE" is becoming more and more popular. Good. If we succeed in abolishing the agency when we regain power, next step is to prosecute any of them who was caught doing stuff like this.

Naive question: Why can't there be laws that keep track of where you were located when you made, say Billions of dollars, and then make sure those can be taxed in that place for a number of years if you pack and go? Say, for that small percentage of greedy bastards who don't want to give back.

All of us are. Fascism will fall again.

My friends local to Minnesota, whom I trust a great deal, would like to share the following resources that could use support. PowWowGrounds - Native American Coffee Shop doing direct food and supply aid to their communities- Venmo @powwowgrounds www.powwowgrounds.com

the left has offered solutions: -raising wages -universal healthcare -affordable housing -universal childcare -paid parental leave -action to mitigate the climate crisis if only our leaders supported these wildly popular solutions. people don’t want kids in a world we’re struggling to survive in.
