Border Aid
Border Patrol detains migrants at open-air sites in the desert. Community volunteers provide the only food, water, medical care, shelter, or sanitation.

a collection of organizations, but I'll highlight Al Otro Lado and Border Kindness.
In San Diego, nonprofits, Mutual aid groups, and locals care for migrants when border patrol detains them in camps without food or water: borderaidsandiego.org/what-is-happ...

when I was 12ish, my family needed to bring a meatloaf to an event. mom was busy, so asked me to make it.
I'd helped before, but never made it on my own.
recipe called for 3 large onions, but we only had small. I estimated that 2-3 small was equivalent to 1 large.
We could not use that meatloaf.

how does this guy lose his job but Clarence Thomas still has his
Judge Matthew Thornhill's burning love for Elvis Presley prompted him to occasionally wear an Elvis wig on the bench — behavior that a judicial conduct commission cited in calling for him to be suspended and then resign. Court documents say he agreed to step down after nearly 20 years on the bench.
Missouri Judge Who Wore Elvis Wig in Court Agrees to Resign
Judge Matthew E.P. Thornhill also talked about politics and played Elvis songs in court, a judicial commission said.

This is the facility that I and many others have been protesting. We’ve been hit, thrown, gassed, and shot with pepper bullets but none of that holds a candle to what is being done to people *in* the actual facility.
Read this thread. Don’t look away. Keep your eyes and the pressure on Broadview.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

this song (MTV Get Off the Air by Dead Kennedys) was written to be about MTV and its effects on engagement with music as an art form and subculture, but it's 150% relevant to the conversation about GenAI- and LLM-produced content
![Lyrics to "MTV Get Off the Air" by Dead Kennedys
[Intro, repeats in background]
Fun, fun, fun in the fluffy chair
Flame up the herb, wolf down the beer
[Spoken Intro]
Hi, I'm your video DJ!
I always talk like I'm wigged out on quaaludes
I wear a satin baseball jacket everywhere I go
My job is to help destroy what's left of your imagination](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:3gh3mbjdn2cag2jqcyozimgp/bafkreihmggikg3yts44spmj6nm2zy6ttxmsqmflzdugza73tsa4gdtnniu@jpeg)
![[Spoken Intro continues]
By feeding you endless doses
Of sugar-coated mindless garbage
So, don't create; be sedate
Be a vegetable at home and thwack on that dial
If we have our way, even you will believe
This is the future of rock and roll

I really loved Sinners but how come we don't get to see more of the Native vampire hunting group? They deserve their own movie, or maybe a series.

In 2008, Google created an ad-powered wiki encyclopedia called Knol, seen as a "Wikipedia killer" amid its highly-publicized launch. And the Wikimedia Foundation gave an unbothered response that I quite like: "the more good free content, the better for the world." Anyway Knol instantly flopped

Hey y'all, this interview is a really important look at what trans protesters are facing, especially when the cops haul them off to jail on allegations like...writing "trans rights are human rights" in chalk.
BREAKING - Overnight in August, the city of Orlando, Florida took down the Pulse Nightclub memorial rainbow crosswalk. The next day, people began protesting. TNN interviewed one of the protesters, who recounted horrific human rights abuses after her arrest. Written by @thefreeradical.org
