Here’s the most incredible story you’ll read today. A small plane with four people aboard crashes in a field. Another pilot witnesses it. That pilot happens to be flying a bunch of skydivers. They offer to jump to assist, are given permission. The skydivers happen to be EMTs. Everyone survives.

Skydivers alert emergency crews, assist after plane crashes near East Troy airport
Four people were aboard the single-engine plane when it went down in a cornfield near Carvers School Road in East Troy at about 1:30 p.m.

“As things become more popular on the side of the people, you see more desperate attempts by the regime to try and deter it.. One of the goals of an authoritarian regime is to scare the people into submission, and the most important thing that we can do to counteract that is to continue showing up."

"The leaderless character of the resistance to ICE in Minnesota is precisely what has made it effective. The everyday anarchism of the Minneapolis revolution is its greatest strength." Amazing report from @crimethinc.com on the recent general strike in #Minneapolis. crimethinc.com/2026/02/01/c...
Quote from article: 

"A major Somali shopping center called Karmel Mall closed for the day. Daycare centers were forced to close when their staff demanded the day off. Workers forced a major AT&T call center to close. The biggest nursing home in the Twin Cities metro area held mandatory all-staff meetings to threaten to fire employees who participated, but those scare tactics failed and they faced mass absenteeism. The combined population of Minneapolis and Saint Paul is less than 750,000; that Friday, we saw an estimated 100,000 people take the streets in sub-zero temperatures. It is safe to conclude that at least one out of every eight Twin Cities residents took part in the general strike."

Here's what I expect from Democrats. Their goal is to win big in the midterms. Do some tepid sanctioning of the Trump regime. Then hopefully win the presidency in 28. They want to reinforce that the status quo still works. They don't want to acknowledge the institutions are broken.

someone used genAI to make this infographic and it's just so incredible, I can't stop looking at it. the longer I stare at it the better it gets
an AI generated infographic that is covered in absolute nonsense, a fake dial with no numbers that are related to one another, images of planes placed haphazardly, a misspelling of the word "infographic", literal lorem ipsum text, which is the automatic filler text written in latin you can use to test things like website or page layouts, and the only words that aren't garbage or misspelled are probably the search terms that were used to generate the image, which is "average speeds"

The board of the national broadcaster, RÚV, voted on Wednesday not to participate, meaning Iceland will join Spain, Slovenia, the Netherlands and Ireland in neither participating in nor broadcasting the event, which is scheduled to take place in Vienna.

The irony here is that academics don’t just write the articles for free—we also referee and edit for them for free. Something is deeply broken. “New Zealand's eight universities spent $30-million a year on journal licences and about half of that sum went to Elsevier. www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...
