This is an absolute scandal; the United States government is deliberately consolidating all deportation cases of an ethnic minority that the President has called "garbage" in front of a handpicked group of judges and with dramatically accelerated timeline. A lawsuit was filed yesterday against it.

I feel sad and overwhelmed about the world, and totally incapable of dealing with it.

One basic lesson from political research is that secret police generally rely on mediocre men willing to do the dirty work of authoritarian regimes in order to advance their careers. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/how-the-fb...

NCAR is quite literally our global mothership. Everyone who works in climate and weather has passed through its doors and benefited from its incredible resources. Dismantling NCAR is like taking a sledgehammer to the keystone holding up our scientific understanding of the planet. Unbelievable.

so happy to see a judge order Kilmar Abrego Garcia immediately released feels like a good time to refresh our recollection about the threats to everyone lurking under the administration's hyper-fixation on this one guy

Might get fired. I barely care. All this job does is drag me away from what I care about. And pay me. And give me health insurance. Which I need to live.

I was four years old when I came to the US. I cannot fathom what it would have been like to have been ripped apart from my family and detained by strangers. This makes me want to scream.

On hatred.
I hate all of this in almost every way a thing can be hated. I hate the factless waffle that surrounds Big AI’s every improbable goal. I hate how insipidly stupid, or just plain evil, those goals so often are, and the yawning chasm between them and any form of achievable reality. I hate that Big AI’s successes are inflated and its failures ignored — or are even categorised as hilarious mis-steps, like when AI chatbots tell people to eat poisonous mushrooms, put glue on pizza, or make air diffusers from chlorine gas.

I hate that Big AI consumes so much energy that every time you generate a six-fingered portrait of Anne Frank or a scene from the Vietnam war in the style of Studio Ghibli, you might as well just kill a polar bear with a crossbow. I hate that it can run roughshod over every copyright law and environmental protection on the planet in pursuit of the data it needs to continue failing, with no consequences save for the enrichment of the worst people on Earth, who have managed to make all of this magical bullshit seem sensible to an intellectual class comprised of people I wouldn’t trust to print an email.

Wanna get in on the ground floor of IWTV Bluesky and say I love Louis De Pointe Du Lac. I'm not black (I'm white Latino) but there's so much in him that reminds me of myself at various points in my life.
