This guy named Ben Palmer made an "Immigration tip line" and people call it thinking he's ICE.

He records them and shares it with the world.

What do people sound like when reporting their neighbors, coworkers, students? Are they confident they are doing a righteous good thing?

Witness the banality of evil in these sheepish suburban voices.

Ten of the Most Exciting Ways to Commemorate America’s 250th This Year


This article is from Smithsonian Magazine. Actually some of the suggestions for celebrating the 250th anniversary of the signing of The Declaration of Independence could also make great protest events.

~ Community potlucks with people of all ethnic backgrounds.

~ My favorite: historical re-enactments. How about re-enacting everyone signing the Declaration! THAT would be awesome!

ja, solche Gedanken kommen mir auch manchmal, wenn ich Radiomenschen zuhöre.
Da frage ich mich oft, ob denen die Worte nur so aus dem Kopf fallen und ob sie über das was sie sagen, auch mal Nachdenken und ob das für sie selber auch eine Auswirkung hat.
In den meisten Fällen denke ich: nein 🥴

Mozilla is adding a toggle to disable all generative "AI" features in Firefox. It shows that organized pushback is actually making a difference.

One battle won. Now let's make it crystal clear. We want tools, not forced LLMs. Keep the pressure on until "AI" is no longer an option.

with the OECD recently saying we're doing alright, with back-to-back surplus, but could do better to rise above our previously average standard there's something going right. Basically, we got an elephant stamp and a note "could do better" but phew now a "see me after class" ;)

an if statement with nine let statements. it reads: if tile_entity.get("id").is_some_and(|id| id == "minecraft:sign") && let Some(fastnbt::Value::Compound(front_text)) = tile_entity.get("front_text") && let Some(fastnbt::Value::List(messages)) = front_text.get("messages") && let Some(fastnbt::Value::Int(x)) = tile_entity.get("x").cloned() && let Some(fastnbt::Value::Int(y)) = tile_entity.get("y").cloned() && let Some(fastnbt::Value::Int(z)) = tile_entity.get("z").cloned() && let Some(sign) = self.blocks.iter().find(|block| block.position == Xyz { x, y, z }) && let Some(sign) = new_blocks.get(sign.id) && let Some(properties) = sign.properties && let Some(properties) = new_properties.get_mut(properties)

The image features a young woman with blonde hair, dressed in black attire. Her makeup is done dramatically, featuring bold eyeshadow and lipstick. She's wearing a black outfit with lace details, which gives it an elegant yet edgy look. A notable feature of this attire seems to be a choker around her neck and cross-shaped pendant she supporting by her left hand fingers. The woman's expression is curious as she gaze directly into the camera while touching her collarbone by her right hand. She is standing against the backdrop of a park or garden setting, surrounded by trees that provide a natural and serene atmosphere to her appearance. The woman's pose suggests she might be posing for a photo.

I wanted to love "Beautyland" by Marie-Helene Bertino - a neurodiverse protagonist who loves science(!) - but it didn't quite live up to my expectations.

But now I'm 11 chapters into "Circe" by Madeline Miller, which has been a wonderful journey so far. Miller knows her Classics! Highly recommend 📚 #books
