When Jack Smith subpoenaed phone logs, lawmakers cried constitutional crisis. When federal agents raided Ilhan Omar’s home weeks before an election, the outrage evaporated. @lizdye.bsky.social writes on the double standards. Essential piece from @atrupar.com ‘s Public Notice. Read and subscribe.

So, if this is a Minnesota grand jury and the Minnesota U.S. Attorney's Office, I feel like we really should be knowing more about what is happening here, if for no other reason than that legal reporters are more well-sourced in this region due to Operation Metro Surge. That said, reach out to me!

I have a long piece out now in @currentaffairs.bsky.social, where I argue that — even if they call for clean-energy development — insofar they also seek the expansion of fossil fuels, liberals are allied with the petro-authoritarian right. 1/4 www.currentaffairs.org/news/liberal...
It may seem implausible to argue that liberals who are working hard to enable capital investments in clean energy could be the allies of the petroauthoritarian right. But they are exactly that if they support expanding fossil fuels— or even if they advocate for an "all of the above" energy approach, which means expanding both clean energy and fossil fuels like "natural gas" (which, let's be real, should accurately be called "methane gas"). We could blanket the entire planet in solar panels, and power every last data center with nuclear power, but if we continued to use coal, oil, and gas, the temperature would continue to climb with no end in sight. Dismissing that physics as irrelevant, even if you purport to agree that "climate change is real'" is obviously a form of disavowal that borders on denial.

ERUPTING EARTH / EXPLODING SKY 🌈 a gouache piece from residency, 2023
an illustration painted in gouache, playing with vibrant colours. tall towers of clouds across the lower half, a dark blue sky giving way to light from the top to the bottom. bisecting the image is a warped and liquid rainbow. in the centre is a strange shooting star with multiple tails, rocketing over a flat black square. the bust of one figure is in the upper left, looking down and away, and he's coloured in a wash of blue. in the lower right is another figure reaching up toward him or the star, longing and young, their dark black-purple hair sweeping and swirling around them.
these characters are from the comic SUPERPOSE.

When I was hired to pentest software the rules of engagement were made very clear to me - I am responsible for my tools, at all times. When testing any software I had signed-off consent, and videoed the signing. Because if I did what anthropic/openai is doing I would be fired and likely jailed.

Did you know you only need a small brain to make silly little drawings?
4 panel comic:
Panel 1: pink blob guy on a table, pencil in their hands. Grey circle on a piece of paper and a glass of water on the table. They say “look here”
Panel 2: Proudly, they hold up the drawing of a grey blobby character on two stick legs up in the air. The pink blob says “I drew this!”
Panel 3: Satisfied they sit back down on the table. They now go “it’s not much, but..” The grey drawing looks a bit peeved because the drawer is calling it “not much”
Panel 4: But it’s okay, because now the pink blob is very pleased finally. He says “it came from my brain!” Holding the pencil up. The grey drawing blob is happy again, too. End well, all well!

a little louder for the cheap seats in the back
One of the biggest myths is that men rape by mistake. Like, "Oh, they need consent training." But research is very clear: Sexual violence is not a mistake. It is an intentionally made decision by people who know they don't have consent. They just don't prioritize consent over things like status, power, domination, and sexual gratification.
For my research, I got a certificate of confidentiality from the National Institutes of Health, so my notes couldn't be subpoenaed. One of the reasons I call them perpetrators in my work is because every single person I interviewed confessed in that context. The first question I would ask them was, "When you received that email from Title IX that you were under investigation, did you know what it was about?" Every perpetrator I interviewed said "yes." If sexual assault were a miscommunication, you would be wondering, What have I possibly done wrong? That is not the way that any of them reacted because they knew.

Some tiny gouache.
A picture of a gouache painting, closely cropped to show a herald in red attire with white unicorns, holding a wooden scepter. To the left and right are two horses in tournament attire, one in light green and blue, the other in red and black. 
There is a one Euro coin and a small brush to show the scale of the painting.
