Even with all the advancements in automated cell tracking getting us to 90%+ accuracy...that's still a lot of broken tracks over long movies! Our brains are pretty good at this so I made Vizsla 🐕, a little @napari.org plugin, to help you fix your tracks manually. 👉 pypi.org/project/napa...

kind of funny that an olympian said they are here to represent "compassion, respect, and love for others" and some people automatically knew that was a statement against them

ICE kidnapped a 5-year-old and sent him alone to a facility in Texas. Hell isn't hot enough.

Minnesota: "School officials say the [5-year-old] child was used as bait. They say [ICE] agents made little Liam knock on the door to ask to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home."

one of the best things about this whole nightmare has been watching a whole bunch of folks who have clearly never been seriously political in their lives standing up and going, no, absolutely the fuck not, we’re not letting this happen

ICE agent accidentally fires gun into Eagan hotel room
An ICE agent accidentally fired his department-issued firearm while inside an Eagan hotel room in December, sending a bullet into a neighboring room, according to a police report.
The gunshot occurred Dec. 18, at the Hampton Inn Minneapolis-Eagan, located at
3000 Eagandale Place, as the agent attempted to change a part on the gun, the report said. The bullet traveled through the agent's shirt and through a wall, then hit the headboard of the bed in the adjoining room.

this crystallizes why, despite truly heroic solidarity and activism, i can’t quite get in the “we’re going to win” mindset right now. the harm is so active and there’s so much violence we don’t even know about. people are being turned into ghosts.

Cripes a’mighty people, Steven Miller is not staging a militarized ethnic cleansing and sending the border cops to murder people in the street to distract from the Epstein files. He’s doing it because he and Trump (and Vance and Homan and Noem etc) really really want to.
