Update: These ICE agents just abducted an elderly man in Van Nuys (same vehicles).

Love popping over the fence like a pasty cryptid to warn the guys working on my neighbor's yard that armed government thugs have been spotted in the area. I live in a normal country.

Los Angeles Area friendos! ICE was spotted in Pasadena this morning. Stay alert, and keep your neighbors safe.

In case you're wondering what it's like to have me as a mom, my kid watched a YouTube short that used Bohemian Rhapsody as the background music and long story short, I spent the whole car ride to school explaining the AIDS crisis to her.

As an asthmatic who's been through pertussis I normally wouldn't make fun of someone's breathing, but this raccoon-bobbitting, roadkill-eating, baloney-faced motherfucker wants to force his "healthy" quackery on a whole country and has publicly advocated putting me and my kid in a labor camp.

oh no, now where will i turn to for innovative iphone cooling solutions

That delicious feeling when the character who struck you as suspicious the moment they showed up turns out to be the culprit. I feel like Murderbot would be, reluctantly, just a tiny bit proud of me. (Just finished Fugitive Telemetry by @marthawells.com and you should bingeread Murderbot too)

As always, if you're a city of LA employee who wants to talk about how this budget will impact your job, and, more importantly, how prioritizing megaevents will impact your ability to deliver basic services, I'm on Signal at awalkerinla.99 or you can text my Google Voice at 323 207 5607‬

Los Angeles Area friendos! ICE has been spotted lurking in Whittier today. Stay alert, and keep your neighbors safe.

Couple weeks ago I had an "intake appointment" with a counselor to register as a disabled student for the first time in my life. It was at 8:30am so that poor counselor got to face a fully-caffeinated, fully-medicated me with an excited Adderall possum yelling in my ear. 🧵

Good news! We found the cats a home! But they still need a foster home for the next month! Please help us spread the word so we can find a good foster home for them!

Went out to see why the cops had their emotional support helicopter out and thought I'd get some Cookie Run done at the same time so of course I lost track of my feet and splatted on the pavement like Bethesda coded me. It just happens every now and then. High pain tolerance, I move on.

Los Angeles area friendos! ICE spotted skulking around Long Beach. Stay alert, and keep your neighbors safe.

Two observations if this is the case: 1) Nobody at History Hit read the job listings. Are these positions actually needed/wanted or is this a decision by the parent company? 2) The parent company is so soaked in AI that it's in the most generic job listings. I cannot expect H Hit to stay AI free.

Welp, cross History Hit off your list of documentary sources. They're looking to hire AI slopshovelers.

Y'all, my laptop needs this sticker. YOUR laptop needs this sticker. Go get one today! (there's also a "fuck ice" sticker available for all your chinga la migra needs)

As someone whose favorite dinosaur has been the brontosaurus since I even knew what a dinosaur was, I have followed this naming dispute for decades and I was SO happy when they finally allowed it to have its name back.

this is just to say I have had an issue fetching the posts that were on the timeline and which you were probably hoping to doomscroll forgive me the takes were so hot and so rate limited

How's that vibe coding workin' out for you, Bluesky team?

Hey remember when they used footage of past presidents and digitally altered it to make them interact with Tom Hanks in Forrest Gump and it was such a scandal that laws were passed to prevent it happening again? Just thinking of that, for no reason.

LOS ANGELES - URGENT! I'm heartbroken that my friend and neighbor has only a few days to live. We must find a loving forever home for her 2 kitties, Kit (F/grey/white) & Caboodle (M/black). Both 3-4yrs old, total sweethearts. Please ask around and send anyone interested my way, thank you ❤️

"pope should stay out of politics." brother you need to stay out of a size medium

I struggled a lot with school in some ways, and I never finished my PhD. But now I have two things I didn't have before: - a diagnosis - medication Lowkey kinda excited to see what school is like when I'm not rawdogging it on hard mode

Realized I've been angerposting lately so here's something much more cheerful and personal: I'm gonna be taking classes at the local community college starting this summer! Lookin to pick up some job skills or something because I need a new direction jobwise. Never goin back to the tech industry.

Lord, I see what you've done for other cities ...

As @gregdoucette.bsky.social say, cops are great 🙄 I'm sure another department has already snapped this guy up with a pay raise and a bonus.

Delivery drivers: stay away from military bases. It's not safe to deliver there, regardless of your status. "Well I'm a citizen --" Tell ICE that and see if they care. They have literally thrown away citizenship documentation while abducting people.

LOS ANGELES AREA FRIENDOS! ICE kidnapped someone in Garden Grove this morning. Stay alert, and keep your neighbors safe.

tl;dr: Target claims to have AI evidence a woman shoplifted at the self-checkout, has a cop go to her home and arrest her, may cost her her job. This will DEFINITELY help with that whole "boycott killed our revenue" problem!

jfc I only WISH I could rock a suit this well. Props to Chelsea Manning for continuing to stand up for important things.

DEATH AT LA ICE DETENTION CENTER "Chijoke Isamade, age 35, died April 12 .... Manner and cause of death have not yet been determined according to medical examiner. ... [He] was challenging the legality of his ICE detention in a civil suit." www.stopice.net/login/?alert...

new bucket list unlocked for my adhd craft friends:

Oh shit, turns out I'm Key AOC Ally too

"Botanical sexism is the Long Island Iced Tea of bullshit. It's got a little bit of everything, & it's a great way to ignore what's actually going on around you." BOTANICAL SEXISM explainer & debunk video goes up tomorrow 9am Eastern time! youtu.be/TLp9NX-fLmw

After yesterday's Adderall Possum adventure, my desk looks less like a cave potato's workbench and more like a computer desk belonging to an adult human. I'm still getting used to it.

Big talk from the guy rubberstamping Trump's appointees and offering nothing but soundbites to pretend he's doing his job.

Likewise, the cost of a college degree has changed ENORMOUSLY from when folks my age or older got our degrees. I'm from the "reasonable student loans" generation, my parents are from the "get a summer job" generation. And don't get me started on homebuying or daycare.

“Sir, are you aware that you are a cat, and Mayor Zohran Mamdani is standing right behind you?”

I can't believe I actually have to say this, but apparently I do: someone who is buying compromised Bluesky accounts from an account reseller marketplace is directly funding identity theft, fraud, and international crime. #BadActorBingo resurrection for an explainer of why:

I let the Adderall Possum take the wheel today and now my back hurts. Here's what I did: - cleared everything off my desk except my monitors - went through the drawers under the desk, threw stuff out, reorganized them - unplugged every single thing at the desk (1/4)

I will forever be in absolute awe that NASA flawlessly pulled off a whole-ass moon mission during all of this. Fucking legends.

for the ten thousandth time, it's been proven the the best way to deal with this guy is look him in the eye and go "oh yeah make me buddy boy" and the lesson they take away in the USA will of course be that they continue to give him everything he demands in case he gets upset with them

Clinging to my Starfield update and my Cookie Run/Kpop Demon Hunters collab for dear life right now

Anyway if the Iranians conduct a catastrophic terrorist strike in CONUS I suspect Americans will find that the international community’s response is dramatically less supportive than after 9/11. Threaten genocide and brag about targeting civilians is a FAFO move.

"What can Democrats do?" When the South Korean president attempted to declare martial law, South Korean lawmakers literally fought through tanks and military forces and climbed fences to get into their Parliament building to stop him. So, you know, that.

Does no one want to impress Jodie Foster anymore?

all of America's bravest elected Democrats jumping into action to post vaguely on social media about how somebody else should do something

"A whole civilization will die tonight" is giving big Oracle of Delphi vibes.

Not just one legislator, the entire legislature? Sure. I’m for it.

If you or someone you know needs a better understanding of the concrete problems with AI/LLM use in science, here is an excellent video breaking it all down: www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcq5...
