In yesterday's episode of The Bootloader I said if one state like Washington is planning to do something like this, others will be, too. And a day later here's news of New York wanting something similar to 3D printers. Call your reps!
New York Wants to Ctrl+Alt+Delete Your 3D Printer

New York’s budget bill proposes mandatory file-scanning “blocking” software for 3D printers and CNC tools.

The FBI was able to access Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson's Signal messages because she used Signal on her work laptop. The laptop accepted Touch ID for authentication, meaning the agents were allowed to require her to unlock it. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

New — I spoke to eight people who were present at the ICE protest on Saturday in Portland, Oregon when federal agents deployed tear gas and rubber bullets into a crowd of families, children, elderly and disabled people, and their pets.

These are their stories:

It's a great opinion by Judge Ana Reyes (and sound on the law—Noem was too busy posting to follow even the basics of the statute). Worth a read, and don't skip the footnotes.

I read thousands of pages of Epstein files this weekend trying to understand what he wanted out of his meeting with 4chan's Christopher Poole. Here's everything we know about Epstein's plans to dismantle the internet and, eventually, democracy.

1. This 2016 exchange between Jeffrey Epstein and Peter Thiel is so essential, really gets to the heart of Epstein's project.
Epstein: brexit, just the beginning.
Thiel: Of what?
Epstein: return to tribalism... finding things on their way to collapse , was much easier than finding the next bargain

this fuckin jabroni is going to put marble armrests in a concert hall isn't he
Q: Do you plan on tearing the Kennedy Center down and how much will all of the renovations cost?

TRUMP: Probably around $200 million. I'm not ripping it down. I'll be using the steel. So we're using the structure. We're using some of the marble.

BREAKING: Upon reviewing the fine print of @governor.ny.gov's proposal, we were stunned to discover that the prohibition on "287g" mass deportation agreements would EXPIRE in three years.

Governor Hochul, this is NOT leadership. 1/
Local cops should be focused on local crime.

Today I'm announcing the Local Cops, Local Crimes Act to stop ICE from deputizing police to do a federal agency’s job.

What's glossed over a bit here is it took this guy who proved it like 25 years and a huge community push and tons of advocacy to make this happen. Same with guy who figured out you should wash hands before surgery. We think "why should all this obvious shit be so hard?" But it's ALWAYS been hard

the affected hospitals have spent more than ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS on “short-term staffing” aka scab travel nurses.

Yes Kathy is doing this in an election year and she has a primary challenger, @delgadoforny.bsky.social

In midtown, striking nurses are marching on Kathy Hochul’s office, calling out an emergency order she signed allowing traveling nurses to work in NY during the strike.

They say that move has prolonged the strike and is a handout to the hospital system.

Happy world fermentation day to all who celebrate!

A history of civilization is a history of pickles, and fermentation! Or how the lactobacillales domesticated humankind...

Without fermentation we wouldn't have beer, wine, cheese, miso, kimchi etc.
