WTF

Apple Quietly Made ICE Agents a Protected Class.

Internal emails show tech giant used anti-hate-speech rules meant for minorities to block an app documenting immigration enforcement.

@reiver I had actually started looking at some of these last year, may be helpful ideas in these papers. This is the search I had bookmarked.

Formal wear my ass Canada.

If it isn't a Canadian Tuxedo it isn't formal. I don't see a shred of denim here 😀 This is more like the faceless mob on the Toronto transit system […]

From the Mister Global 2025 Formal Wear competition. In the background a pink a purple screen with white text says Canada. In the foreground a man in a generic blue suit with white shirt and no tie. This could be a generic banker.

It's so great Danielle goes on Fox to help get Alberta truth to the American people. Oh, wait.

Screenshots from Fox news showing Jesse Watters interviewing the same masked actor 3 times, supposedly as different factions, Antifa, gang member, Gaza character. The actor is a regular fox commentator as himself as well.

We’re not dealing with brilliant strategists cleverly laying traps, we’re dealing with impulsive whiners whose advantage is contempt for laws, norms, and morality.

They’re not pulling some elaborate trick, they’re just willing—even eager—to do things regular, principled people consider off limits.

On Fediverse.

Worrying that no one will come without celebrities or huge accounts is like not going to your local pub because it doesn't have Taylor Swift and Fox news.

Trying to replicate the massive club, but we swear no algorithm, isn't the draw you think.

important
Black-and-white street art of a hare holding a protest sign that reads, “The Earth isn’t dying, it’s being killed — and those who are killing it have names and addresses.” Painted on a graffitied wall with turquoise tags in the background, the artwork delivers a stark environmental message about accountability for ecological destruction.

Do I have this right? #induction post.

If I forget the ADHD drugs I spin really really fast until I create interesting forces and flux in nearby people and processes.

At this point I think we have enough evidence our Silo has failed and we should just let the algorithm initiate the Safeguard Procedure. Maybe some other people will get it right next time.
Screen capture from the Silo TV show. A ripped piece of paper held with two hands that says Safeguard Procedure on it.

What Children are Learning from the current US President: Never apologize to anyone. Science is stupid. Anyone different is bad. You don't have to be nice. America is the only country in the world. Women are less important than men. Be afraid of anyone not white. School is not important. Teachers are low-paid idiots. It is always okay to lie.
