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.

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.

This interview with Any Lucia Belloza is heartbreaking but everyone should read it. These are the lives our country is destroying.

www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/26/m...
As she sat on a bus near a tarmac in Texas in the early hours on Saturday morning, just about 48 hours after her arrest — with handcuffs around her wrists and shackles around her feet — and saw that most of the people around her were from Honduras, too, Lopez Belloza realized she was likely being deported that very day. “The thing that was hitting me so hard, it was my education,” Lopez Belloza, who is the first in her family to go to college, said. “I was so happy when I got there [to Babson],” Lopez Belloza said. “I was just living the college life — going to events, going everywhere ... everything there was really great. I really loved the school." She and her father also had a special shared aspiration. With her business degree, Lopez Belloza was going to help her father open his own tailor shop, they hoped.

Our government is disappearing people and subjecting their families to unimaginable terror.
After a frantic 48-hour search, her family received a call from her on Saturday from Honduras, a country she had not lived in since she was a child. The federal government had quickly deported her, the lawyers said, and Lopez Belloza had found her way to her grandparents’ house and called her father.

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.

The settlement was first announced in 2015. In its complaint, the FTC alleged that Brittain acquired the images in a number of ways, such as by posing as a woman on the advertising site Craigslist, and offering nude photos purportedly of himself in exchange for photos provided by women. Brittain also allegedly solicited viewers of his site to anonymously submit nude photos of people to his site, according to the complaint, at times offering cash "bounties" for images of specific individuals.

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.
Is Anybody Down? Article Talk Is Anybody Down? was a revenge porn website founded by Craig Brittain and Chance Trahan where users could anonymously upload nude photographs along with information identifying the person in the photograph (including full names, addresses, phone numbers, and Facebook screenshots) 111[2] The site also contained a section of nude photographs titled "Anonymous Bounty", where users were offered "free stuff" if they could provide the Facebook or Twitter information of any of the people pictured. In concept, the website recapitulated the now-defunct Is Anyone Up?, ^ Investigation The activities of the website and the operators were investigated by the United States Federal Trade Commission, who stated that when people contacted the website, the site did not respond to their requests to remove the information. The FTC stated in their administrative complaint that the site advertised content removal services under the name "Takedown Hammer" and "Takedown Lawyer" that could delete consumers' images and content from the site in exchange for a payment of $200 to $500. The complaint says the sites for these services were owned and operated by Craig Brittain. [61171[8) Marc Randazza, a prominent First Amendment lawyer,
