@bennjordan.bsky.social has outdone himself again with this *amazing* installment of a series on surveillance and security. @404media.co does great work, too. youtu.be/vU1-uiUlHTo Scary part: they didn't discover the problems, they're just the first to *say something* with a platform.

This may get lost in this media cycle, but it's reporting that would be recognized in better days. youtu.be/CYIxgOw2XwA Extremely detailed. For those too young, the "Iran-Contra" scandal involved Reagan selling arms to Iran, and using the cash to fuel right-wing militias in Central America.

Btw, if you're affect by the bug where you can't post, the button is in the DOM, just invisible. The `aria-label` is "New Post", which looks like the most reliable way to search for it (they don't believe in html ids, lol). You may be able to find it if you resize, as well.

youtube.com/shorts/brVeO... Helen Thomas, I'm sorry. I had forgotten about this; at the time, it was seen as sad, how a once-great journo had fallen, probably to dementia. It's awful to think about how wrong we were. This short touches on the irony of the NYT suit over the loyalty oath.

Been a minute so I posted an update. #fuckcancer www.gofundme.com/f/aid-anna-m...

Old news, but it only now occurred to me how the vast majority's righteous feelings toward environmental justice have been misdirected, into MAHA, "wellness", and ironic conspiracy theories. Cancer clusters, microplastics, lead infrastructure are real; chem-trails are not. youtu.be/wMM6OGaOb3g

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social You: 🤡 @aoc.bsky.social @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social 🤦 @chiosse.bsky.social RUN. Worst case, clownshoes has to move left. Best case, a ringer for the system is thrown out. If we're going to play the electoral game, we should at least play like we're trying #socialism

youtube.com/shorts/vMHUk... I don't share short-form video much, but this is so strange that I have to ask around to see if I'm missing some context. He can't really be saying what it sounds like he's saying, can he? #haskell #plt #programming #categorytheory

youtu.be/XLjqNQB-SGw Gender's best work so far, imo... an investment in time, but worth it this weekend. @jessiegender.bsky.social

There’s an UPDATE! It’s Scott’s birthday today and mine is Thursday so check out the full update here: www.gofundme.com/manage/aid-a... #fuckcancer #gofundme My heart to you, birthday beloved! @daemonburrito is the best 💜

I don't feel great about #rustlang requirements in #debian. The Rust Foundation/Community would then be in the position of determining which devices can use Debians and offspring. It would be one thing if the support matrix matched Debian's, but it doesn't; so strictly, it reduces the # of platform

#voted. There are important reasons to go and vote. In #ATX , I’m FOR Props 1, 7, 10, 14 and Q. I’m AGAINST all the other PROPS trying to undermine justice and defund education. Also, my fundraiser has a tiny url now if you’re wanting to share or see today’s updates!: tinyurl.com/3xm7vcpm

Hot take: #Haskell would be dominant, if not for its broken dependency management and library distribution. It might be a reason that #Rust is ascendant. (I am so interested in new idioms, with functional safety, simplicity, and parallelism, in the future of Rust. Nearly all the pieces are there...

As the aur is down again (doesn't really affect me), but it does make me wonder: Why is Linux distribution infra always under attack these days? The malevolent AI scraping has been mitigated, so this is something else. Someone with an axe to grind? Or more evil and organized? #linux #arch #ddos

Next up in my unsung heroes list (bsky.app/profile/daem...), and speaking of #ECS, here is what inspired me, and probably inspired everybody else at the time, T-Machine: web.archive.org/web/20250531... It remains a clear guide, almost twenty years later. #code #computing #gamedev

Having listened to this show, #Bevy seems like a project done right. I would love to be part of a project like this, if it is what @alice-i-cecile.bsky.social so ably describes. Not just because I love ECS, but because of how it's been organized. Beautiful. youtu.be/PND2Wpy6U-E #rustlang

@rust-lang.org @rustfoundation.org It is good that so many engineers and scientists are aware of the social implications of our labor. However, one glaring contradiction is the community's dependence on GitHub infrastructure. Rust needs need get off asap, and ideally, onto libre servers.

Proud papa moment: my son J published a letter in the @nytimes.com today (in print tomorrow) on the need to think our definitions of autism.

youtu.be/fqqwwS9Kvy8 Stunning in its depth and beauty, as always... @slimemildred.bsky.social

Totally unrelated to a lkml item, Rust's styling tool rules for import statements has to change, as it makes trivial merge conflicts too hard to solve: doc.rust-lang.org/beta/style-g... ie, Rust needs to drop the "as few lines as possible rule", and prefer one module per line. #rustlang

🚨BREAKING Former girlfriend of one the founders of Antifa being interviewed, according to Secy Noem.

youtu.be/FK6u0R1a34M Despite the title, it's not that heated. If you have time, or can 2x, it's worth it to see the establishment conservative intellectual take on a Twitch streamer.

There are many stories which are candidates, but the story of what happened yesterday in South Chicago should definitely be international news. A whole building, with complicit landlords, was assaulted by a military force, with citizens detained overnight, their belongings thrown away. It's here.

youtu.be/tyU5Xkk6TuE @shaunvids.bsky.social Amazing. Worth the time, I watched it in three sittings. I won't quote from it, for fear of ruining the brilliant pacing. One useful thing that Krauss's book provides: a list of names that should trigger an opensecrets.org search, should you see them.

The president is currently ad-libbing medical advice about acetaminophen, MMR vaccines, "toughing it out", and autism. The "doctors" in his administration are not stopping him. #autism #tylenol "Don't take Tylenol" omglol... risk high blood pressure during pregnancy.

Today is going to be a worrying day for autistic people, and disable people in general. We can now only hope that our work toward solidarity was enough. Reach out. #autism #disabled

Have to say, #rustlang has become a beautiful language. I'm coming back to it as my main compiled language, having only tested it in its early days (it changed significantly). They made it a ergonomic language. I can't wait for more idioms to evolve. And the job market and community seem ok...

There’s a new update on how things are going for me: www.gofundme.com/f/aid-anna-m...

The House Oversight Committee has invited the CEOs of Discord, Steam, Twitch, and Reddit to testify on "political violence." One of these things is not like the others. They're coming for everyone who has spoken up.

www.middleeasteye.net/news/un-conc... "The UN’s top investigative body on Palestine and Israel ruled on Tuesday that Israel is guilty of the crime of genocide in Gaza, in the most authoritative pronouncement to date." Anyone not acknowledging the simple reality is now complicit.

youtu.be/u8szjv1gipE Truth. Does @democrats.org really think they can weather this? This party is ending. I was slow to come to this, being swayed by entryism; but when the primary process is openly undemocratic, and it invests in sad, opaque orgs like @wearechorus.bsky.social , what are we doing?

Is this the point where it's shown, and people as thick as me, and apparently as credulous as me, find out that entryism is doomed to fail? @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

"We treat the victims as though they are the real criminals." youtu.be/DDcK9Av4BdA Corporate officers get fines, if anything. Often there is no personal cost for stealing wages, unsafe conditions, or employing children. The workers are in chains, beaten, humiliated and traumatized.

youtube.com/shorts/Gb3Yb... Just wow. Great work, the world needs more KC Defender.

"'Infighting' assumes we're on the same side." Fire. youtube.com/shorts/C4IAq...

youtu.be/PMNm9SCo89c I don't want this story to go unreported, and FD Signifier's analysis is on point.

youtu.be/YFWDnimdGIk I didn't know that Newsom et al filed an amicus brief in Grant's Pass. There are 40k vacant luxury units in SF, and a 50% shortfall of affordable housing. They're going to back him in 28. The Dems are going to lose 26 and 28. #abundance #democrats @democrats.org

The Wired Lorenz story on Chorus gives me hope. The first responses from sitting legislators are coming in; Jasmine Crockett's is the first I saw. Shameless, disappointing. The "fire v fire" narrative is wrong. It's a gatekeeping, eliminate-the-left op. #chorus #sixteenthirty #democrats

Surgery day. Wish me luck! gofund.me/e2422386

youtu.be/PbsmiNX9ZRI The Left will lose arguments that depend on appeals to nationalism, every time. There is no past to return to. Recognize the mythology, don't let imagination be limited by a document created for propertied, white males. We can do better.

This is old news to many, but I am only now peeling back the layers of nationalist myth from my upbringing. The closest to "nuance" my public education got was conceding that the "founding fathers" were "complicated", and that it was "a different time." youtu.be/WsFku4Dhh6U White lies. #history

Omar Fateh has been ratfucked. What do we do? SCOTUS says that these actions are in a "private organization", while state and federal election laws make it near impossible to run outside the two parties. The @democrats.org leave us no choice. You're cutting off 90% of the party. #fateh

Every electoral win a achieved without a money advantage weakens money's power over elections. Election value / money spent High election value, low money spent is the idea. National elections have a high base value. The wider the ratio, the better for devaluing private election finance.

youtube.com/shorts/cnjHW... The engineer in the thumbnail resigned. If "knowledge workers" like software engineers weren't allergic to organization, this would be a perfect time to withhold labor. The FAANG et al companies enjoy a pliant workforce, due in part to our broken immigration system.

youtu.be/3GXnl61N6SU Amazing call-in moment, showing the morality of the left. Worth listening to the end, when Brandon describes the psychology of sadism; that when people see that their material conditions have worsened again, they demand for others to be lowered, preserving a hierarchy.

A CT state rep posted a story about reports of ICE activity in his district and asked neighbors to "look out for another" and contact advocacy groups. Libs of TikTok posted it, calling for him to be charged and tagging ICE & DHS. ICE shared it, tagging the Justice Dept. This is protected speech.

youtu.be/UfjGMRuPEWQ The US treatment of asylum seekers, for decades, was already a violation of intl law. There is no political opposition. Going back to the status quo won't be an improvement. Concession on "the border" suppressed votes, and corporate media has no interest in the topic.
