Strikes are popular. Every time there isn't a strike happening someone should be saying "I miss strikes, do you know when the next strike is?"

looks like crypto schadenfreude's back on the menu, lads!
Platforms limiting or halting withdrawals is reminiscient of the 2022 crypto crash, when falling crypto prices exposed crypto firms that had been engaging in highly risky or sometimes illegal behavior.

And here’s the absurdity of calling the police on ICE. You’re calling their backup.
New reporting shows local police are tapping school security cameras and license-plate reader systems to assist federal immigration enforcement, raising serious concerns about student privacy and surveillance.

A reasonable discussion about AI would come to the conclusion that this tech is damaging to humanity in virtually every way a tech can be damaging.

But I'd rather have an emotional discussion and point out that this tech is shit made by assholes, and it stole from me, personally, so fuck it.

Why do they think this helps them? Drawing more attention to what's in the files.
A Reuters photographer captured this image of a page from Pam Bondi's "burn book," which she used to counter any questions from Democratic lawmakers during an unhinged hearing today.

It looks like the DOJ monitored members of Congress’s searches of the unredacted Epstein files.

Just wow.

Like 75% of the US Olympic curlers are from Minnesota. A lot of them curl out of two clubs in Saint Paul, one club is in Frogtown, a neighborhood that has been very heavily targeted by ICE. These curlers are good neighbors.
US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE:

"I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

I just want everyone to know that the creator of one of our favorite whistles (the micro bitonal) is a very nice man in Italy who has been messaging me asking if there are things he can tweak in the next version he is designing mostly to help us mass produce these more efficiently to fight ICE.

Always a great sign for how things are going in your country when 21-year-olds are like “hey, I innovated a system to play bagpipes in tear gas”
Jack Duffy attaches a respirator to his bagpipes to play through tear gas. “I always play it whenever the police retreat because it's like, ‘You fucking ran while we stayed,’” he says.

Ring is a wildly dangerous company. Always has been. But it has sort of flown under the radar the last couple years as it tried to soften its image. Make no mistake that this is an extremely dangerous surveillance dragnet:

As U of A pulls the plug on DEI policies, remember kids, Diversity Equity Inclusion only exists because merit based hiring practices DO NOT EXIST.

Reverting to the 'norm' is reversion to white mediocrity.

The real story is why *more* elite athletes are not regularly masking and occasionally quarantining as needed. If you spent years training for an event, wouldn't you take every step to ensure peak performance?

For most people, the pandemic days of masking are behind us. In certain corners of the Winter Olympics, though, things still look a lot like they did in Covid times. Some athletes are taking extreme measures to stay healthy. n.pr/4akK70l
Olympic Covid restrictions are gone, but some athletes still self-quarantining

The Dutch Olympic team is taking several precautions: "We're not shaking hands anymore, but we're giving fist bumps," says Verheijen. "We're wearing face masks in crowded areas and making sure we wash and disinfect our hands thoroughly." This decision was made to minimize the risk of illness.

Look, all you need to know about the situation is that Green Day sang "American Idiot" at the opening and explicitly told ICE to quit their jobs at their show on Saturday and Bad Bunny said a bunch of stuff in Spanish and alllll the headlines and angry posts are about Bad Bunny. You know why.
