The villains in De Sade always spend half their time pontificating and congratulating each other on how broken modern politics and finance are, in between bouts of sex crime. It’s uncanny how close the tenor of these guys is

This is bleak: Jes Staley, currently CEO of Barclays, reassuring Epstein that popular revolt against financial elites is unlikely because capitalism and pop culture have defanged social movements, leaving people more invested in consumption than justice.

In the greater story of Minneapolis’ resistance to ICE, one chapter absolutely belongs to the punks organizing at every level. They’re observing, fundraising, running supplies, opening their spaces, coordinating, etc.

A story for @rollingstone.com. Thanks to everyone who spoke on the record.

i think what we see happening with LLMs is a very clear demonstration of this, really. they produce text that's similar but doesn't mean the same thing, or that looks plausible but doesn't make sense. and sometimes people read into it meaning that isn't there. because people make meaning

I am of Generation X, which I guess must be a prime consumer age because when I go into stores, when I'm on hold, outdoors at an event, I am inundated with the music of my youth: the hits of the 80s.
Thing is, with some exceptions, it's the worst music of all time. And I will never be free of it.

This is like a scene out of Monty Python.

ICE agents get a name back from face recognition and multiple agents start calling out "Maria! Maria!" to see if a woman in custody reacts. (Presumably if she does that's a match???)

It didn't work, so they ran the app again and got another name.

Everything you’re hearing from the Trump administration is a lie. Today was one of the most active days in Northeast since the entire Operation Metro Surge began.

Nothing is changing on the ground in Minneapolis, no matter what headlines Trump and Homan try to create.

JUST IN: A federal judge has barred ICE and DHS from using taxpayer information provided by the IRS.

Judge Talwani says that DHS' view that noncitizens lack 4th amendment rights — combined with ICE use of administrative warrants — is a recipe for abuse.

searching how to short bitcoin

feels like it should involve fpgas somehow
Bitcoin hit a high of $126,000 last year. Then it dropped to $120K, $110K, $100K, $90K, $80K, $70K and is no hovering around $60K.

More than a trillion in notional "value" wiped out.

There is no Fed or Treasury ready to bail it out.

But Congress is close to blessing it...

National Guard still occupying DC as well
There are major federal tasks forces operating still in Memphis, New Orleans, Miami-Dade, Phoenix, South Texas, still raiding homes, kidnapping people, black-bagging people from courthouses.

If ICE does controversial things but doesn't *say* controversial things, it disappears from the news.

AOC: We are going to have to reckon, as a country, with this time. And I hope that that reckoning includes prosecution of people who are involved with the lawbreaking and human rights violations they are knowingly engaging in right now.
