I got a tip a few months ago that ICE was planning to use tribal airports for ICE flights. I spent a few hours scouring flight data, found no evidence of this, and let it go.

But perhaps they all just said no? If anyone has more info, hmu on signal at gbrockell.44!
The definition of audacity: ICE asking WA tribes to host detention centers.

They got a very polite “fuck off.”

“The Nisqually people are not in favor of, nor will the tribal council allow, the detention of individuals by ICE on our reservation or in our facilities.” - Tribal Chair E.K. Choke
ICE looks to WA tribes to house detained immigrants
The Nisqually Indian Tribe says it is turning down a request from ICE to house detained immigrants on tribal land.

For the fifty billionth time: I don't want society to shut down. I want you to mask at the fucking hospital, bus, airport, school, and grocery store, if you can.

If you cannot, I want everyone else to, to protect you.

Good night my friends.

Thank you for being here with me, just one more day.

We are committed to the principle of least privilege.

In light of the recent information and discussion, once the Bluesky documentation and implementation is complete for OAuth permissions, we will change to the appropriate least permissive set of permissions.

Stay tuned.

Kinesthetic/phenomenological experience of prompt criticality is not of so much interest to NRC (USA military/AEC had some mostly non-human research) and a thing that stands out across incidents to me is how many are lower pay, lower echelon workers:

One of the root causes of complex PTSD is experiencing a horrible series of events over time and not having anyone validate it, or indeed deny it was important. It’s almost impossible to integrate a traumatic experience without your social groups accepting that it occurred and that it mattered.
sometimes it will just hit me that over a million americans died from covid in a short period of time and we never had a national mourning. we never collectively grieved. we never honored the dead. this feels like a failure

I geniunelly hate this technology so fucking much and it has done so much harm to countless industries, society, and the environment as a whole in only 3 FUCKING YEARS

THIS SHIT HAS EXISTED FOR 3 YEARS. ONLY 3 YEARS.
I probably sound like a broken record, but I cannot wait for this AI bubble to burst, I want to see the architects of this tech to be taken for every penny by those whose artwork they stole for training data, and I want those tools to cease function and be confined to the same memory hole as NFTs.
Ubisoft and Treyarch resorting to regurgitative AI in their big $70 “AAA” games is simply pathetic.

The lack of integrity, the lack of dignity, the lack of pride. Sure, it’s all expected, but nonetheless miserably *pathetic* to witness.

Have some fucking self respect for once.

it looks like OAuth permission scopes are getting attention.

we know the stakes and urgency. we hoped to have this fully documented by now, and are very close. hold tight just a bit longer please

for the record, completely agree that clarifying these dx gaps (and promoting de facto community solutions) is exactly what I/we should be doing with the docs, I just wasn’t rushing to make OAuth recs while the scopes stuff firms up. I think we can absolutely improve docs here in the next ~3 weeks.

Congress’s shutdown deal eliminated key food safety rules, blocking agencies from enforcing measures to prevent contamination and trace outbreaks. This rollback has coincided with a surge in hospitalizations and deaths from foodborne illnesses.

The first "Elvira: Mistress of the Dark" movie also illustrates the importance of fail-safe, positive-intent switching on commercial gasoline and petrol dispensaries.
this is literally* why the gasoline pump shuts off if you drop the handle.

*I mean the broader set of situations of not releasing additional flammable liquid after release.
