This is a Data Striking Guide that consists of privacy and security measures that target AI, Social Media, Data-Brokers, and the federal agencies like ICE that utilize them. Unlike other strikes, you give nothing up and it has only tangible benefits. publish.obsidian.md/datastrike/T...

If you don't like what is happening right in in the U.S., the BEST WAY to fight back is with your money and your data. @profgalloway.com is right - how and where we spend our money is our greatest weapon so #resistandunsubscribe www.resistandunsubscribe.com

This is a really good guide for avoiding digital surveillance and just improving overall digital privacy. Going to start working on doing some of these things.

Hi just posting this digital surveillance striking and protection guide in every place I think someone might read it: publish.obsidian.md/datastrike/

Riiiiiight. "Discord Distances Itself From Age Verification Firm After Ties To Palantir’s Peter Thiel Surface" -Yukiko. kotaku.com/discord-pala...

It's not because your agent can do something with 12 tool calls and 20k tokens that it should. For example, Obsidian CLI has a command called "orphans" that finds files with no incoming links. Now your agent can get a deterministic answer in 1 millisecond instead of 4 minutes.

Oh it’s a good day. Excellent update @obsidian.md team! Who would have thought that in 2026 we’d all be gaga over CLI!?! #obsidian #obsidianmd

@obsidian.md bases and the much improved mobile app drew me back in. I was playing around with #Obsidian for something and on a whim imported all my notes after a long hiatus. Wow. The mobile app is also significantly improved from when I last used it. Wowzers.

You know who else went after members of the press? Nazi Germany.

Feds arrest journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort for filming protest at St. Paul church minnesotareformer.com/briefs/feds-...

Spending more time with Claude Code tonight and I do think one basic reality is that AI skeptics need to update their priors: Plenty of cause for concern, plenty of room to hit these companies for unethical behavior, resource demands, etc, but we are so, so far past the era of "stochastic parrots"

When in doubt, just delete TikTok. Problem solved.

Walz: I think Kristi Noem probably should go back to South Dakota, not have any dogs, and just kind of ride things out

The @theatlantic.com is doing some fantastic reporting.

This is so funny because Palantir is basically an Oracle database for killing people

I am very excited about the work being done by standard.site @standard.site along with @pckt.blog and @leaflet.pub. This is the energy of the LiveJournal days, only better. Bring back personal small blogs that are easy to set up and manage!

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

The only question I have each morning is which type of awful day we'll repeat. Here's today's roundup.

Wrote about the observers. The people standing by and filming and the risk they are taking to let the world see what is happening. It's crucial and its the only way to combat the lies and blatant propaganda. www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

@leaflet.pub is there any plans to add cover images to the posts posted on one’s homepage? I think it would look nice if a small thumbnail/cover image could be displayed beside each post.

‘This is what fascism looks like’: terror in Minneapolis reminiscent of civil war

“The Minnesota man who was killed by federal agents on Saturday has been identified as Alex Pretti, 37, a registered nurse working in the intensive care unit at the Minneapolis VA, serving veterans. “Victim identified as VA nurse Alex Pretti: “He wanted to help people”” The Guardian

This is sickening. We need Congress to step in NOW. I read 1984. I paid attention in history class. I know what’s next.

@pckt.blog thinking about using Pckt as a personal blog. Two questions - do you plan to add 1) the ability to back-date or schedule future posts? 2) the ability to connect a Pckt blog to a personal domain? Or do these features already exist and I just didn't seem them? Thanks!

@leaflet.pub having issues connecting my domain to Leaflet. Anyone available to help?

Wait until someone tells them about Jesus. Their minds will be blown.

This Verizon outage is creeping me out. It has real “Leave the World Behind” vibes.

Happy birthday to the one and only, Hayao Miyazaki.

I’m so damn PROUD of you dear Rhea! You lead with love and we are honored to follow you! You deserve this so much. Thanks for the shoutout🥹 & for who you are. I love you & our #Pluribus fam!😭❤️🥳 Congrats to all nominees and winners! Thanks @criticschoice.bsky.social and congrats Apple TV!🕺🏽🥂

Stephen Schwartz, the composer of “Wicked,” announced on Friday that he would no longer host a gala at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts: “It no longer represents the apolitical place for free artistic expression it was founded to be. There’s no way I would set foot in it now.”

The ACA isn't just "health care for people who don't have a conventional employer." It also disallows something that was incredibly common 20 years ago, which I fear is getting lost to generational memory: insurance companies could deny you health care for essentially any previous health problem.

Quick check-in with the #T1D and #T2D diabetes community: Are your DexCom G7s failing a lot? Like A LOT, a lot? Between kiddo and me, we’ve had 3 fail before warm up in the last 2 months. Plus 2 more prior to 10 days. That’s NUTS.

wearing slippers and pajamas to the airport is antifa now

We’ve had a beautiful fall in the DC area. Now it’s about over. 🍂

Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

Anyone who knows even a shred of #AmericanHistory knows that this is the exact thing the founding fathers were trying to escape. We’ve sleepwalked right back into #tyranny. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/17/w...

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." #1A

The annual Fat Bear Week featuring gluttonous brown bears at Alaska's Katmai National Park and Preserve is back.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

What’s at stake here is free speech. Across the board, we’ve seen the Trump administration use the power of government to go after anybody who’s criticized them — and in this case, Jimmy Kimmel. We need to all stand up and speak out.

#OpenAi recently acknowledged that they are scanning users’ data for reporting to law enforcement Huge #privacy concern. futurism.com/people-furio...

Morning Bluesky. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk says his country’s airspace was "violated by a huge number of Russian drones". He described them as a direct threat. This incident should be a wake-up call to people in Europe. Putin won’t stop at Ukraine.

This is what happens when a wellness influencer is put in charge of HHS and people are convinced instagram influencers know more than actual scientists. www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/f...

I had the chance to talk with @scottdetrow.bsky.social for “All Things Considered” about my belief that an important line was crossed in America this month: www.npr.org/2025/08/30/n...

The people are not bowing down to #fascism.

@diabetech.bsky.social newest video about the Ai food search capability in #DIYLoop is a great way to start the week. While watching the video I was able to update my Loop code in Github and build the customization directly to my phone. Amazing how far we have come. #WeAreNotWaiting

She tried to warn us. Too bad more people didn’t listen.

I had no idea until today (despite using the app for years) that #Reader by @readwise.bsky.social could be used for ePubs!! This is a game changer, especially with a #Boox e-reader and wanting to keep my reading synced across all my devices and the web. Very cool.
