Remember that the violence and brutality of ICE is outrageous, but it's not the only problem with the administration's immigration enforcement surge. It started out being about the "worst of the worst" (violent criminals), then quickly morphed to include anyone found with a status violation. But […]

RIP mass market paperbacks. They were the cornerstone of my cultural education, and they stretched out a lot of my back pockets.
The world is poorer without them.

Saturday was a good day before I heard about the shooting. I picked up a load of maple wood on FB Marketplace. It’s really hard to get nice hardwood in my area and I’m jealous of people who live in areas with abundant hardwood.

I grew up with cassettes, VHS, and floppy disks that you needed to safely eject. So I have a habit of pausing a streaming show before turning off the TV, which really upsets my 9-year-old son. "You don't need to do that!!"

As part of our effort to eat more healthily, my wife and I have been eating this nut mix with dried anchovies instead of lunch and breakfast. The anchovies sound weird, but they are incredibly delicious with the nuts! Highly recommended!

Two things from Enshittification by Cory Doctorow that have stood out to me so far, that I hadn't quite thought of that way before.
One is the different between profit-seeking capitalism and rent-seeking feudalism.

"Secret police" is often misunderstood to mean a force that operates covertly, with all their operations secret.
But a secret police force's actions are often public. The secret part is hiding their identities, because they're breaking laws to hurt politically disfavored people, and fear reprisals.

A friend in Minneapolis just sent me this video. Looks like thousands have come together for a vigil after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. This was my neighborhood for several years before coming to Portland.

The highest levels of the federal government have made clear that they regard Americans who engage in protest and dissent as a national enemy. It is unsurprisingl that their troops on the ground treat them accordingly.
Kent State showed us that this is what happens.
