11-year-old niece watching me scroll through my photo library: “Why do you only have pictures of your cats?"

If you doubt the reach Ellison wants, here a public address he did with Tony Blair. He wants ALL of a country’s data in a single database - including your private health records. He celebrates the surveillance state.

I’m so over all of this shit.

This is very, very good.

ICE Pretends It’s a Military Force. Its Tactics Would Get Real Soldiers Killed WIRED asked an active military officer to break down immigration enforcement actions in Minneapolis and elsewhere.

“ICE agents’ tactics often seem to be modeled off what they’ve seen in movies or imbibed via TV shows or video games...ICE agents aren’t moving with a tactical focus; they’re doing what they think will look cool and intimidating in photographs.”

school being canceled because the president sent armed thugs to harass and imprison the populace for voting against him should be the biggest domestic scandal in american history

Forced face scanning of a U.S. citizen with zero cause, just bald racial profiling. This is tech fascism.

Screenshot of Lara Croft from the original tomb raider game from 1996. Her breasts look like a trapezoid shelf.

It’s because her breasts don’t jut out like a sharp trapezoid shelf as in the original game. They have unrealistic trapezoid standards.

So they’re just going to randomly scan brown and black people to see if they don’t “belong” and then kill anyone who objects? My friend back home in Minneapolis tells me they’re also detaining people just for “looking liberal."

An ICE agent scans someones face with a mobile app. He is wearing a wristband that says "...monitor me..." and "my blood is unto..."

This photo by Mostafa Bassim shows an ICE agent scanning someone's face with a mobile app, quite possibly Mobile Fortify as first reported by @404media.co. This is the first image I've seen of the app's UI in action.

If you look closely, you can also see an interesting wristband on the agent.

"Officers threw flash bangs and tear gas in my car. I got six kids in the car"
"His wife, Destiny Jackson, told FOX 9 their 6-month-old infant stopped breathing and lost consciousness. She then performed CPR on her baby."

Here's what it looks like if you put all the ICE shootings I know of from the last year on a map. For no particular reason other than that it was just handy, I used the 2024 Presidential election map.

Believe it or not, it was once very unusual to see videos of people getting killed. Now we're all going frame by frame. Take care of your brains folks. You can't make this murder right by replaying it.

I know one day most of us will be looking at this time in the rearview mirror, but right now I’m looking down the barrel of three years that each promise to be worse than the last, after the shit-ass year we’ve just had, and I just have a hard time even understanding what that looks like.

Really worth watching this interview with a bystander who witnessed the ICE shooting in Minneapolis: "I'm pretty right-leaning. But seeing this, this is not how we're supposed to be doing things in America.”

It’s weird how taking care of people / caring about people is rage-inducing for some people?

My dental hygienist today said her premium went up $500/mo. She already pays more than $3k per month for a family of 4. More than her mortgage. And their insurance company stopped paying for DME at 100%, only at 50% now.

Yay! I bought two prints. I love letterpress.

Blep. This is a photo of a classic tabby cat, a feral buddy named Uno. He’s lounging on our front step with a blep and closed eyes. A middle-aged woman lurks in the background in a denim shirt. She’s smiling though.

The only response to this non-sense is posting cat photos.

We started rewatching KOTH starting with season 1 from 1997, and Dale Gribble was so ahead of his time as an internet conspiracy addict.
