so frustrating to see posts rightfully complaining about how federal agents mask to hide their identities, that then refer to covid—which, the gaiters they wear do nothing to contain—in the past tense. “oh, so they’ll mask now, but they wouldn’t during covid.”
“during covid” is right now, actually.

If you have a backpack/daypack, sometimes the support straps have a whistle so you can call for help in the wilderness. Will thread some examples

She’s our senior senator. She has the power to shut down the government and end the occupation of Minnesota.
She will not.

There are now more ICE agents in MN than there are police in the 10 largest metro police departments combined.
Our Police Chief asked them not to come onto our streets, but the administration continues to escalate the situation.
This is making Minnesota less safe.

They sat for hours with untreated pepper spray injuries and were laughed at by ICE agents when they asked for medical attention, or even a bottle of water. They were released hours later with no explanation. Their personal belongings were returned except their cell phones, which remain with ICE.

It's not just AI being used to build software, it's that the large models being trained require huge data pools in the cloud.
It's like putting a bunch of gold in a castle and then having little to nothing guarding it.
And then anyone can copypasta their own shitty castle.

For 15 years, I watched brilliant and caring people desperately attempt to avert the privacy and data security apocalypse that’s upon us - which has now been massively exacerbated by dumbass-enabling AI tools.
They did their best, not enough people listened, and now, well, God help us all.

Best Governor Wisco has had in my lifetime.
He was just in central Wisconsin celebrating removal of 1000 lead pipes in Wausau. The amount of travel and events he does would be rough for anyone, but he's 73.
So grateful for everything he's done for Wisconsin.

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered.
Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again.
Their inaction is deadly.
