i've been thinking a lot lately about how one of the biggest things we lost with physical media was the spaces necessary to store and exchange the media and the communities that formed around them. i can't flirt with a clerk, pick up flyers, or just hang around on spotify like i could in a store.

i had never heard of @leadhead.bsky.social before today, but this video was raw and real and inspiring and really lays bare how gen AI is meant to take art away from the working class (and how easy it could be to tell them to fuck off!)

shoving someone's face directly in unfairness and telling them the rules they have built their lives around don't matter because you're in charge and they aren't triggers fury on the lizard brain level and it's a huge contributor to how autocracies fail

This is all good advice:
🧵ICE's tactics for arresting and holding observers and protestors is ever-shifting, and I'm hearing lots of different stories. Right now, my perspective is that these are your best practices:

There is going to come a time in your life when you are chatting with a guy, at a barbecue or something, a new coworker maybe, a dad at school drop off, and he tells you he used to be in ICE. You’re going to need to spit on that guy
Minnesota: "School officials say the [5-year-old] child was used as bait. They say [ICE] agents made little Liam knock on the door to ask to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home."

ok but this second part - does this mean that if I use a VPN through an NYC-based server, I can also avoid junk fees, even if I don't live in the city?
Today Zohran announced a new rule banning hidden junk fees at hotels.
The rule applies to NYC hotels, but also to hotel stays in other destinations that New Yorkers book in the city.

This picture broke me, but the description of this kidnapping by a witness who says ICE referred to this precious child as “it” as they took him away fills me with an unspeakable, murderous rage.
