Code Yikes!

Not only was yesterday's Arctic sea-ice extent a record low for the day, yesterday's extent beat every year prior to 2024 by over half a million square kilometers.

The Arctic currently has a streak of 21 straight days of record low sea-ice extent.

Another view is what happens to kids when they cross the age limit. Do they magically know how to use the services safely?

If any age verification is enacted, I'll help my kids myself evade it so that they can learn it in a safe environment.
I personally think parents are reaching for legislation and tech solutions for something they should be talking with their kids, their schools and other parents about.

I also think legislation could help in forcing platforms to follow up on reports, appeals and complaints.

73% of ICE detainees have no criminal convictions, according to govt data.

Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about targeting the “worst of the worst.”

As ICE terrorizes cities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of Trump's major donors are private prison corporations.

Diskuse o dopravě v Praze se nesmyslně vede jen o tom, že auta trčí v zácpách. Místo aby se vedla hlavně o tom, že Praha by byla mnohem lepším místem pro rodiny, děti, turisty, produktivitu práce, tržby obchodů a restaurací, volný čas či zdraví, kdyby v ulicích aut bylo prostě míň.

In Feb., a group led by Erik Prince, founder of the mercenary firm Blackwater, proposed ICE create a “skip tracing team” of contractors to locate immigrants targeted for deportation.

Great piece by @katyaschwenk.bsky.social on how those plans are developing, plus new info in the quoted thread.

Ah great, private military contractors on US soil but call them BOUNTYHUNTERS 💪🏼
New details out on DHS's plans to use skip tracing services to track down immigrants.

ICE seeks to give multiple contractors info on ~50k people per month, out of a docket of 1.5M. Contractors will conduct "enhanced location research" and surveillance, prioritizing identifying people's homes.

It’s one thing to have different environmental/health priorities for your foundation, it’s quite another to have been bankrolling one of the primary sources of bullshit on the topic.

a week-long conference is energy consuming

in-person, one keeps listening, thinking and speaking for the whole day, on various technical topics

now make it a remote participation in a different time zone

Think back to how you felt a year ago when Trump was reelected.

Now think about how you feel after last night's election.

You volunteered. You went to protests. You didn't check out.

You put in the work required for our democracy — and it's paying off.

Remember this.
