This is wild -- the Milwaukee police officer tasked with investigating another officer's Flock misuse has now been charged with misusing Flock himself www.wisn.com/article/milw...

It's frustrating to hear about stuff like this because St. Paul (really, any city) could decide to close every other residential street tonight with minimal interruption to people in cars while making every other person happier and safer. But we just ... don't?

nws says that this should fizzle out as it nears the cities. the main risk will be damaging wind at that point. it’s all warmed to 60mph rn which is the minimum for severe thunderstorms, hail is quarter sized but they seem to think that will dissipate.

FYI it's gonna get a little stormy in a few hours in the Twin Cities. Don't be surprised if you get woken up by this:

i built a web interface that sits on top of github.com/amandasaurus... so you can build your own before/after animations of OpenStreetMap without setting up the infra: beforeafter.mapki.com Give a start and end time, draw a bbox, and get an animated gif like beforeafter.mapki.com/jobs/736aaf6....

if you've been pondering picking anything up from my webstore, it'll be closing for summer holiday on Friday, so order soon! shop.dansinker.com

Trans rights are human rights always and forever.

Snap has laid off 1000's of people instead of killing this project.

#OnThisDay June 19 1954: TCRT CEO Fred Ossanna receives his payout in front of a burning streetcar in an event staged to celebrate the changeover from electric rail to GM buses. Ossanna was later convicted of fraud in the deal, but by then the venerable 500-mile-long system was gone.

But where will all these people park to get there!?!

Nature is way better than UFC fights 🌊🌊

I'm just glad that my pizza shop is this good. (Highly recommend Ian's Pizza when you're in Wisconsin)

Arrived in Madison for #sotmus26. It feels like it's been a while since my last one, so glad to be here.

Love to sit in airplanes on the tarmac it's the best.

When the Artemis program was first announced, the claim, all over the website, was that the landing mission (which has since been shifted from III to IV) would include "the first woman and the first person of color" to walk on the Moon. Last year, that language was deleted from the NASA site.

Anyone know a good injury lawyer that would be willing to sue a city for not providing safe cycling infrastructure? A cyclist slammed into a car driven by someone I know. The cyclist was riding on a sidewalk and the person in the car was turning left. Two lane road with parking and zero daylighting.

If your mandate is to build a propaganda apparatus for the 3rd Trump term it seems like she's getting promoted for meeting her goals, not failing upward.

The popular wildfire tracking app is adding flood monitoring to its platform. It’s the first new disaster alert on the service, with many more to come.

I wonder where all these people parked?!

After tracking down some viral referral spam at work, I think I'm firmly in the "let's just shut down the internet" camp. We had a good run. Starting from scratch would be ok.

Merge two movies: Hunt For Red Dawn

A small piece of anecdata: there are two different families that I know in my life that are actively emigrating from the US to Europe. That's pretty high given how much of a recluse I am.

The confederacy won the Civil War.

Did you know that a MacBook Pro can discharge itself so much that it corrupts their firmware? Symptoms include taking a charge but not booting: no sound, no screen. To resolve, connect with USB to your other MacBook Pro and use Apple's DFU mode to reinstall firmware through Finder.

Recent status: watching someone that works at Zoom take a past due security training about not taking meetings in public spaces while he was on a train going between Copenhagen and Stockholm. He completed his training then had a sales meeting about volume discounts.

The rare work post: Like security/tech things (or are interested in learning), between jobs or don't want full time work, and want to help solve problems for people instead of making a VC-backed, AI-accelerated gamble? Maybe we should talk! workshop.monorail.tech/the-monorail...

This graph shows how registration rates between Black and White voters varied in Louisiana since Reconstruction. In a single image, it tells the story of political power and discrimination. Black voters had power, briefly, then it was taken from them. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/power-demo...

as long as john roberts has his majority, there is simply no pro democracy reform that will survive the supreme court. none.

please, god, I’ve never wanted anything more than this

This is a 1h44m video describing in very technical detail how Starlink could use the direct-to-cell antenna on their latest satellites to image the whole globe at ~meters of resolution in real time: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbp3... It gets slightly more approachable in the last ~25% of the video.

If you're a fan of Taskmaster, you should preorder their Advent calendar: taskmasterstore.com/products/tas... We got one last year and it was a lot of fun. The puzzles and tasks were challenging and I'm looking forward to doing it again this year.

Grey found a stick to bring along on our walk this morning.

Free business idea: kid sized battery operated Hot Wheels car but it's a train engine, subway, or light rail car.

Happy Rex Manning Day!

This is possibly the most incredible tracking video of a rocket launch that I have ever seen, and Shuttle had some really incredible videos too! Just look at those gorgeous flame dynamics and then the booster separation... 🔭🧪 #Artemis

A bit of a different take on the amazing Artemis II launch footage. Here I stitched clips from the four Solar Array Wing Cameras to make this panoramic video. This is during the later part of the Core Stage burn until MECO and stage separation, sped up to 10x. 🔭🧪 #Artemis

"Orion, the Moon, and the Earth. EVERYONE, in that picture" - #Artemis II Mission Control.

Wonder why I haven't heard about this little green lunar inhabitant waving at the Artemis crew yet.

We went to the Frost game yesterday and it was easily the most fun I've had a sporting event in years. Lots of action, super energetic/fun fans. Highly recommended!

Powerful maps from the @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/interactive/... #cartography

NASA just dropped this image of Artemis II astronaut Christina Koch looking back at us. The first woman to ever see our planet in its entirety. I’m not crying you’re crying 🥹🔭🧪 📸: NASA

One day someone should post one of these "rockets launching as seen from satellite" but the rocket comes all the way up to the satellite, someone gets out to clean the sensor, and then goes back down to the Earth.
