Since the ICE surge, Frey has: •Vetoed an eviction moratorium •Tried to get a cop city in Minneapolis •Vetoed a decriminalization of drug paraphernalia (which would have merely brought Minneapolis in line with state law) •Attended the WHCD, to honor the fascist who terrorized his own city

Someone did a number on people's brains where they think the only two options are incremental tweaking and maoist revolution. The idea of root-and-branch reform of liberal institutions, so common in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, is unimaginable.

It’s not a security breach that he didn’t sleep in a sterile area; it just wasn’t the security plan. And the designed security did in fact stop the attack without it. The demand embedded in this piece that it become the plan is exactly how the one way ratchet of a burdensome security state works.

Saw some of the reviews had the same thought: this is going on my underfestooned HEMA jacket

"So don't buy a gun. You're not going to out-shoot BORTAC. You're not going to out-opsec the FBI. You're not fighting a civil war in a nation divided on stark ethnic or religious lines. You're not materially supported by a major outside power." www.liberalcurrents.com/from-powerle...

Do you want to get honeypots? Because that's how you get bears! That's how that goes right?

Ideally, court packing would be the stick to go with the carrot of a constitutional amendment for fixed size + 18 yr. terms. That's the off ramp. But the status quo in perpetuity isn't an option. You can't expect half the country to accept forever that SCOTUS is a self-perpetuating GOP aristocracy.

Gibson actually calls this out in the introduction to the 2004 edition of Neuromancer: "a whopping anachronism, right at the very start of my career in the imaginary future." It's a thoughtful reflection on the book's 20th anniversary

I'm trying to see if anybody has printed a QRD (Quadratic Residue Diffuser, aka the weird sound diffusers that are a bunch of wood cubes at various heights) and the answer is yes, a few people have: www.reddit.com/r/diyaudio/c... www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index....

I want to believe this is satire, but knowing the internet...

I think beyond a certain point, people with vehicles this big should have to get commercial trucking permits. Because there is absolutely no need to have a vehicle this big that presents massive risk to other vehicles and pedestrians that’s not explicitly for work

If Leonardo had had holography, the Mona Lisa would totally have been a hologram whose expression changed as you walked around it.

Pairing this with the declining viewership and... all the other stuff in www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dwa... I would be very surprised if MrBeast *doesn't* take a hard right turn

A reminder during #NationalLibraryWeek, libraries are our best and last defense against the fascist monopoly on knowledge and information

As Lewis Mumford wrote in 1957: "The right to have access to every building in the city by private motorcar in an age when everyone possesses such a vehicle is the right to destroy the city." This is doubly true if we allow driverless cars to have unlimited access to streets.

It can only goodhart happen

Shirtless with a cloak is legal for all genders where I live actually. Not saying I’m going to do it. But I am allowed to

The US loves to do this thing where we treat our inability to effectively enforce laws as a sign that the laws are targeting the wrong thing, and not that we just need better state capacity

I was at Walker library in Uptown Saturday (children and families were inside doing library stuff, seemingly unafraid). The county appears to have sawed off the stone bench that used to be fixed to the wall at the entry.

"men only want to talk about ancient rome but women only want to talk about the industrial revolution" awww yeah NOW we're gendermaxxing baby

Shout out to 1919 though

weirdly similar to homelessness in that way. the version of the issue that is visible to people and the version that compromises the bulk of the problem are fairly tangentially related

The thing is, if you’re Iran, endless ceasefires while economic pressure mounts seems pretty close to ideal

I think the "you need to use this or get left behind" messaging is imported from crypto where it was based on crypto being hyper deflationary so early adopters are rewarded. GenAI is fundamentally a technology that gets easier to use as time goes on, if the value prop doesn't appeal don't use it.

re: what Ds with power should do for immigration *immediately*- not discounting other things, just do this first: turn the entire ICE OBBBA slush fund into funding for judges and other process support staff. move as many people waiting on hearings out of limbo as u can while working on other things

the real lesson of Civil War is that cameras are actually more powerful than firearms

with the water issues IT’S THE FARMER’S FAULT BLAME THE FUCKING FARMERS is like Newtonian physics: it won’t get every single particular right, but for practical purposes it’s all the information you need most of the time

Somewhere Bismarck is looking down in confusion as Germany projects power by sending 4,000 pensioners, 12 buffet stations and a TUI loyalty program through the Strait of Hormuz

this is america, at best it’d be imperial stouts though (the ipa of stouts)

Ed's right: most developers don't often demand it. They look around at "comps" and see everything with (mandated) parking. They'll thus say, "I can [lease/sell/finance] anything without 1:1 parking!" They can't imagine a new market. And they definitely can't imagine sites unlocked by a reform.

"They were so lucky I was looking" Ummm no. Stopping in time for a child running onto the street is not heroic/lucky, it is your goddamn obligation as a driver. Cost of entry. Kids are allowed to be unpredictable, you are not.

The weather underground murdered the first black school superintendent in the usa because he worked at a high school that was going to require ID. And they believed ID cards were fascist

We should let private equity buy up as many homes as they can because renters have a class interest towards more home construction

In 1999, I was playing a decker in Shadowrun, and tried to distract a guard by hacking a water fountain to overflow, and my GM said "why would a water fountain be on the network? That's fucking stupid. No you can't try." Well it's 2026 and I just want you to know, Phil, that I FUCKING CALLED IT!

The invisible systems that enable the world's current abundance and that will one day banish famine and disease to the past depends upon the efforts of the faceless millions who fill the spreadsheets and send the emails.

I suspect I would punch someone who actually did this. racist dogwhistle is what this is

It is so thrilling to pull up and watch the bike detected blue light go on. No pushing a beg button far away on the sidewalk. No waiting for a car to trigger a green light for me. Redondo Beach at Artesia and Rindge
