I need folks to understand this. The idea that local police forces will intervene at scale against ICE is a utopian fantasy totally disconnected from how policing has always worked
Police departments across the US are quietly leveraging school district security cameras to assist Donald Trump’s mass immigration enforcement campaign, an investigation by @the74.bsky.social reveals.

This reads like a bad geo-targetted ad
The 'Moon economy' is about to boom. Deutsche Bank thinks this one space stock will benefit

IMO, I think this is just a function of who is considered the arbiter of the value of work - managers or customers.
Tech is used to forcing things of customers rather the listen to them, propped up by absurd wealth of out-of-touch wannabe overlords.

My friends who are in tech are getting destroyed by AI.
My friends who are established writers are like "bring it, Claude, I'll have your ass hanging on a flagpole by morning."
Just anecdotal, but still.

a lot of "AI hype" discourse makes more sense when you realize that a lot of initial LLM/GenAI hype envisioned replacing artists and PhDs, and its actual impacts have been much greater on coders and other tech workers
creatives/experts see "AI" as underperforming hype, techies see it overperforming

Just pondering.... I've done fantasy animal avatars and pet avatars before. Would folks donate for an HB style animal cartoon avatar? It could be your pet, your furry, your favorite dinosaur - just an animal you'd like to see walking around maybe in clothes/costume? :)
Cartoon sketching. Was in a mood to draw some cartoon animals wearing bow ties.
