The Democratic party needs to set up tribunals to prosecute ICE. Failing to aggressively prosecute Trump was one of the biggest mistakes in the history of the republic. It isn't nearly judgmental enough outside of Republican propaganda demanding Republicans not be judged at all.
Make consequences.

California Governor Gavin Newsom said on Thursday that the Democratic Party needed to be “more culturally normal” and “less judgmental.”

Adobe's OpenTimelineIO support has been in unfinished Beta for over a year now. They have made no clear announcements about plans to finish it and get it out of Beta so people can actually use it. Nuke, Avid, Resolve, and many other apps have OTIO support now.

LAPD Shot At A Party Then Improperly Used A Search Warrant To Investigate A Shooting Victim
LAPD’s community policing program avoided scrutiny for a shootout a month before the program became its own bureau. Data revealed search warrant practices were leading to untraceable warrants.

To do list for Monday: keep refreshing browser window to see if we are at war in South America yet.
Actually, I should probably pencil in some more things on the to do list. That probably won't take too long.

I will not remotely be able to keep track of "Ella McKay" and "Jay Kelly" being two different movies. Just being the name of a person I've never heard of is not much of a hook.

I don't think any of the economic analysis of risks to AI business that I've seen takes into account the possibility of a Chinese Reunification war. With Flash and DRAM prices already unsustainable for AI companies, a pacific war would poof the AI datacenter business plans overnight.

According to the Guide on the TV here, "Total Recall" is on TV, which might be fun. At lest, depending on which version of Total Recall it is.
Anyhow, Geostorm is what's actually on. And Geostorm accidentally being in a better movie's timeslot seems very on brand for Geostorm.

TL;DR: the *actual* poverty line in the US for a family of four with two young children is about $140,000, and there isn't much improvement in quality of life between $40K and $100K.

Somebody was employed to design hotel rooms, and they thought, "at the end of a long day, people will want to plop down on the bed and directly watch the microwave." You can also stand next to the bed to watch TV square on.
So, don't feel too burdened by imposter syndrome, I guess.

But beyond being funny, this is fucked up. He thinks the most important part of his job is to tell people how to dress and how to behave, and that's just... blatantly fascist thinking.

In normal democracy terms, we've in bad shape and things are getting worse.
In consolidated authoritarianism terms, we're doing pretty well, as the regime is haphazard, meeting resistance, and growing increasingly unpopular.
Depends on one's perspective. I started using the latter standard in Jan.

It is good to see the pushback on Trump lead to real losses for him. But it's hard to be optimistic when he still wields the enormous power of the presidency. ICE is still rampaging, HHS is harming people, the U.S. may be about to sell out Ukraine, the boat strikes...he's still doing so much damage.

Computing needs an eccentric billionaire to invent a new architecture that is objectively worse, with a new OS that is objectively worse, w/ a slow network incompatible with IP.

The Internet was better when people had to be able to type arcane commands to connect to it, and uploads were slow enough that you had to really stop and think about everything you uploaded.
when I was young, i used to wonder how people like this would fare in life, as they didn't seem suited for gainful employment. it turns out, the internet allowed them to accumulate a massive audience of similar idiots, enriching them and turning them into a presidential advisor
