Chad Johnson is CEO of 'Grain Weevil'. His son did robotics competitions in high school, which inspired this little fella that breaks up hardened surfaces & levels grain to ensure it behaves like a liquid, avoids clumping. This probably saves 10-30 human lives a year. NO BOOTS IN THE GRAIN.

I’ve been talking about Alysa Liu’s story about her quitting skating only to come back and become even better because she did it for herself and this came to me in a dream…
A meme of Alysa Liu based on Da Share Zone reading:

IF IT SUCKS... HIT DA BRICKS!!!

You can leave!!

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

It's weird how when people talk about crime being out of control they never talk about wage theft, which accounts for more than three times the amount lost in all other kinds of theft combined, robbery, burglary, auto theft, shoplifting....all of it. Combined. www.edelson-law.com/blog/2022/10...
Unfortunately, the truth is that wage theft has been identified as the largest type of theft in the United States. It is responsible for roughly 3 times as much economic loss as other types of theft combined. According to a report from the National Employment Law Project, in 2019 approximately $9.27 billion in wages was stolen from workers who earned less than $13 an hour. So, while people often worry about things like auto theft, bank robberies, shoplifting, and home burglaries, the truth is that wage theft affects far more people than these more well-known crimes.

So, the u.s. border patrol trespassed into Canadian territory and kidnapped a Canadian citizen. That’s a hostile act by a foreign country. PM Carney should demand that the u.s. patrol officers be extradited to Canada to face charges.

A Quebec fisherman who was fishing 15 kilometers north of the US border was essentially kidnapped by US Border Patrol, who capsized his boat and dragged him to an American prison cell. In any normal time this'd be quite the international incident, y'know? www.ctvnews.ca/montreal/art...
Lallemand said he borrowed his friend’s boat and was fishing near Venise-en-Québec, which is roughly 15 kilometres north of the U.S. border at the northern tip of Lake Champlain. He says he has been fishing for decades and is adamant that he was in Canadian waters when the Coast Guard showed up and told him to turn off his engine, to which he complied.

The three officers told him he was in U.S. territory.

“I said, ‘No, I’m very sorry, I’m in Canada.’ And I said I’m polite enough to talk to you guys but you cannot arrest me. ‘You can’t come across the border and pick me up’ but they did,” he recalled.

Lallemand started his engine and said he wanted to talk with the officers by the shore, but the Coast Guard followed and tried to push him into the U.S., which is what caused him to go overboard.

“They’re tying my boat to their boat. They’re not even taking care of me. The third time I went down, coming out with water in my mouth, spitting it out, I said throw me a buoy,” he said.

Once on their vessel, he said he was aggressively put in handcuffs. “I never saw somebody so angry,” he said.

He was then handed over to U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers, who fingerprinted him, put him in a jail cell with his clothes soaking wet, and gave him a “dirty” blanket.

"Sometimes I'm tempted to enjoy myself. Fortunately, AI is here to remove all fun from life!" Some people simply don't seem to grasp that watching/reading/listening is the entire point. They don't understand why you'd watch a full episode of a murder mystery if you can just skip to the end.

We watched people standing in line for 8-10 hours to vote in Georgia, so they made it illegal to give them water. They called in bomb threats to majority Black polling places. They did everything they could to suppress the vote. And then folks are out here like, "well Georgia voted for this lol"

But (and I think @doriantaylor.com gets credit for this phrasing) they are not on the cutting edge of technology, they are retail users of a tool marketed as "doing all of the work for you." And nothing makes them more furious than having that reality pointed out.

There's a really good @juliusgoat.bsky.social piece about this - that what supremacists crave most is not being perceived as the kind of person who does the thing that they do. The parallels with prompt goblins should be apparent. The thing they want most is to be seen as producers, not consumers.

While there is a lot to say about this image, the thing that stands out to me the most - what IMO makes genAI a specifically right wing phenomenon - is the craving for approval. It is not enough to be able to generate robot lingerie warrior lady. They NEED to also be praised for doing it.

Some great suggestions on here. Highly recommend. A lot of it boils down to: go interact with real flesh-and-blood people. Build new relationships. Strengthen existing ones. Make connections. In person, ideally. Figure out what you are good at, and what you can contribute. Then go do it.

A flu lineage has likely gone extinct since 2020 🧵
A line graph titled "Confirmed cases of influenza B Yamagata" shows weekly confirmed cases of B Yamagata influenza worldwide from various types of influenza surveillance. The vertical axis represents the number of cases, ranging from zero to 5,000, while the horizontal axis covers the years from 2013 to 2025. The graph indicates significant fluctuations in case numbers over the years, with a noticeable peak just below 5,000 cases around 2019, followed by a steep decline. A data source note mentions that only a fraction of potential influenza cases is tested by labs for confirmation and strain identification. The data comes from FluNet, World Health Organization, and is dated 2023. The graph is licensed under CC BY.
