The Latest Defense Against ICE: 3D-Printed Whistles
Chicagoans are making, sharing, and printing designs for whistles that can warn people when ICE is in the area. The goal is to “prevent as many people from being kidnapped as possible.”

Read every word & share with everyone you know. This is real life here in Chicago. Americans need to know this grotesque reality & stand with us.
Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

In under 1600 words.

This is a bad deal, and the old way of doing things is clearly not working.

We need new leaders in the Senate.

How does the brain find its way in realistic environments? 🧠 Using deep RL and neural data, we show that hippocampal-like networks support navigation, learning, and generalisation in partially observable environments—mirroring real animal behaviour. Now out:

There’s likely to be a wave of X users coming here in the future. These are people who have finally found some decision sufficiently gross to leave. Maybe this time lets try not going with ”get off this site/get back in your locker”

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social is everywhere. But it didn't start that way.

There was a time when the mayoral front-runner was polling at 1%, tied literally with "Someone Else." Now he has an 80,000-strong army of volunteers, a killer social strategy, and the internet on his side.

The Big Interview:
Zohran Mamdani, the Internet’s Mayor
Mere months ago, New York’s mayoral front-runner was polling right next to “Someone Else.” He spoke to WIRED about building a social media machine, Big Tech capitulation, and learning from Eric Adams.
