...shooting missiles into Camp Pendleton's firing range from offshore? Yes, I know their targeting is superb but... still... so close to civilian housing and all...

An activist has started using artificial intelligence to identify ICE agents beneath their masks — a use of the technology sparking new political concerns over AI-powered surveillance.

Can Washington do anything about it?

I suspect that he thought "illegals are people crossing the border from Mexico" and not "anyone who overstayed their visa"

My thanks to everyone who attended Tugrik's memorial service on FurryMuck last night.

There were people taking logs, and I'll post links when they are up. In addition, there are at least two memorial pieces being written about him, for there is much to tell about the man.

Happy birthday, Aset (Isis)! (see patreon.com/tsiuda for my annual birthdays-of-the-gods countdown to the pharaonic New Year).

A blue square with a photograph of the goddess Isis in a painting from the tomb of King Siptah in the Valley of the Kings in Luxor, Egypt. She is kneeling behind a lion bed and her hand is reaching out toward a round hieroglyph on the floor in front of her. Hieroglyphs for her name (a throne and an egg) are on her head and she is wearing a short white bag-crown. The text says "Happy birthday Isis!" and "Epagomenal Day 4."

I am *not* in favor of privatizing medical care for veterans. The existing system has a lot of problems, but turning it over to people who want to make money from running it is a BAD idea.

...this after he cut 3,000 jobs from the VA earlier this year.

From the Department of "This Won't End Well Department" the feds have approved proselytizing and public prayer in work spaces. Mormons vs JW's vs Pentecostals vs Muslims vs Satanists vs FlyingSpaghettiMonster.

Sounds apocalyptic.
