From @francescadnunz.bsky.social: Police—sheriffs, Texas state cops, and even ICE—can follow the location of your smart phone without a warrant.

Yet, we know little about how this software has been used.

Presented with support from @pulitzercenter.org
Texas Police Invested Millions in a Shadowy Phone-Tracking Software. They Won’t Say How They’ve Used It.
One sheriff who leads an anti-smuggling task force says the software helps “develop leads to eventually obtain probable cause.” Civil liberties experts say its use violates constitutional rights.

A tale of playtesting and how you don’t really know what mechanics work until you bring ones that don’t work to your table, maybe more than once
Playtest Early, Playtest Often — Prismatic Wasteland
To design a game, you have to break a few eggs and discard some rules or completely rewrite them. But you won’t know what to discard and what to rewrite until you feed those eggs to your players.

I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand

You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen

*Everyone has stories like this*

The way all "AI" CEOs and evangelists keep talking about how we all need to be more positive and believe more and talk less about the material issues ... that is how an actual innovation, a paradigm shift even, looks like, yes?

I was reminded of this entry today - we stuck a couple of little bonuses in BREAK!!'s rules, I always think of Mundymutts and Skeleman as like unlockable characters you get after beating a game once.

this is really the vilest part. the way these people, caught trampling your rights, will hound you to the ends of the earth and beyond the grave. this womans crime was being married to someone the regime murdered. abrego garcia had the temerity to be mistakenly deported to a gulag. unforgivable sins
This is appalling: Top DOJ officials are actively pushing for a criminal investigation into the widow of Renee Good, leading prosecutors to quit en masse, NYT is reporting.

Who in the White House ordered DOJ to do this? That's the next thing to establish.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.

I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

The ICE agent who shot Marimar Martinez in Chicago tried to goad her out of her car.

He said “do something b*tch” and shot her 5 times.

The ICE agent who shot Nicole Renee Good did the same thing. Stood right in front of her vehicle and yelled “f*cking bitch”.

They hate women & it shows.

switch 1 is a fun toy, switch 2 is a Gaming Console
Nintendo saw the demand for differently coloured joycons and decided for Switch 2 "what if we make them all the same colour except for a tiny little bit you won't really focus on much?"

one can take some heart in the notion that we are seeing, repeatedly, the platonic ideal of the imperial boomerang playing itself out. from the CIA child soldier shooting those national guardsmen to this iraq war veteran shooting a mom in the face - our ghoulish adventurism is exacting its fee

For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies
