(Yes, yes, he should have been there sooner, yes America’s always been like that, etc etc. I know. But people show up when and how they show up, and fresh bodies are worth a little grace.)

I am gonna go out on a limb and say that a Jersey dude so horrified that he went to his first protest and is trying not to cry on camera has a pretty good chance of staying radicalized. And that while Bluesky loves to pick apart things like this, this kinda video moves the needle for OTHER dudes.
Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

Amazon showing their "respect" for authors, by slicing up the already inadequate Kindle Unlimited fund so those releasing AI narrated audiobooks get a piece of the pie.

This morning, I got distracted while eating cheese because I remembered that the laughing cow is named Elsie and is married to Elmer the cow on the glue labels. To doublecheck that I hadn’t hallucinated that, I looked it up and fell down a dark internet rabbit hole.

Honeypots for computer geeks.
I feel obliged to say: never punish the behavior you want to see. The CEO should not have said "don't be like Nate." Something like "Nate did good, but could have done better if he'd caught on sooner" would be much better.

Happy Valentine's day, folks. Here's my favorite story about the nerd and the honeypot.
I vaguely recall @megelison.bsky.social telling a story from her fintech days about a shlubby engineer realizing several drinks in that he was being honeypotted by a model and climbing out the bathroom window to escape

Chadwick Boseman and James van der Beek both died in their 40s of an illness that's treatable if a colonoscopy catches it but almost no insurer covers them for people under 45, this is what Engels meant by "social murder"
