It's not the world's most elegant code (I taught myself TS this winter to do it), but as a general reminder: I have open sourced the code that we use for Skywatch automation, for anyone interested in monitoring the firehose and labeling based on rulesets.
Okay that was a lot of fun!

Still a *bunch* of bugs to fix in the editor before it's really properly usable, but it actually does the thing it's supposed to now, at least a simple version of it.

The Trump administration has reacted to a small scale lone wolf attack by in DC announcing a sweeping collective punishment, using the organs of government to heap blame on partisan rivals, and potentially dissuading anyone from collaborating with US forces abroad for a generation.

Exactly one year ago today, Syrian rebels led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham began an offensive against the Assad regime named “Operation Deterrence of Aggression”.
Less than 2 weeks later, 5 decades of Ba’athist fascism was over.

I feel much safer today knowing that we deported a Babson College student back to a country where she hasn't lived since childhood.
She wasn't even flying internationally. She was flying to Texas.

many similar criminals out there that have run revenge p_rn sites living their lives unabashedly unashamed like Craig Brittain. You may follow him right now, but we should never allow these types to live their lives as if they didn't devastate so many others.

Yankee (laudatory) is a category that exists, but it's reserved for New Englanders with a ramrod-straight moral compass who would rather break the world than compromise. Exemplars are William Lloyd Garrison, John Brown and Pete Seeger.

I’d never heard of him, but apparently he ran a site called “Is Anybody Down?” that not only facilitated revenge porn but also extorted money from people to have their intimate photos removed.
The website was supposed to be shut down after an FTC investigation, but he just transferred the content.

I don't like Yankee being used to describe all Americans because I'm an unreconstructed Yankee
I don’t like being referred to as a Yankee but I’ve realized this is not at all because I’m Southern, but because I specifically resent being associated with traditional New England Protestant culture and its flavorless foods
All people from the U.S. are Yankees. I say this as a person born and raised in The South because pissing off That Specific Kind of Southerner is a moral good.
