Screenshot of the angel committee from TV show The Good Place. Six people sit at a desk, Paul Scheer in the middle, mouth open. The caption is a quote from his character (maybe not from this scene): "The only reasonable thing to do is keep giving up things unilaterally until this demon is happy."

Let's hack the page to make "FOR" editable. Font looks like Adobe Coffee Service; Google Fonts Sriracha is close enough.

1. Right-click "FOR", select "Inspect"
2. Right-click the nearby `<span id="for-span"` element and "Edit as HTML"
3. Replace HTML (see reply)
4. Cmd+enter or Ctrl+enter to save

Bambu's MakerWorld requires a login to download free models, so it'll never overtake Thingiverse or Printables.

(Error message says it allows 5 downloads, but it blocked the first download, not the 5th)
Screenshot of MakerWorld after clicking a model download link. The error message says, "You can only download up to five models in an unlogged-in state. Please log in to enjoy more benefits."

They're directional sound cannons, they project an impossibly-loud, painful tone in a narrow cone at long distance. Sometimes used for comms, but previously used at protests for crowd dispersal. Can cause hearing damage.

Photo of the actual ongoing live-fire event we are living through
LA Times headline, "Newsom warns of missiles over I-5, but freeway will remain open during live-fire Camp Pendleton event" Dead-eyed cartoon dog in a little brown erby, sitting at a table with a coffee mug on it, in a home surrounded by giant flames and smoke. The meme is commonly captioned, "this is fine."

An officer in beige tactical gear, sunglasses, dark cap, looks over his shoulder in alarm. A person in an oversized inflatable bee costume stands on the sidewalk, eyes empty, with a bored posture. The photo is a crop of one of the photos in the OP.

Agents, masked, no badges, driving unmarked vehicles without plates, "clearly identify" themselves with what? A verbal "trust me, bro"?
Screenshot from the article in the previous quote-post. Statement from Tricia McLaughlin, assistant secretary at DHS, which oversees ICE and U.S. Customs and Border Protection. "“DHS is not going to confirm our vehicles and put an even larger target on our officers’ backs,” she says. “When our heroic law enforcement officers conduct operations, they clearly identify themselves as law enforcement while wearing masks"

Data Pools is an arduino-based hardware project that spoofs a number of wifi access points, recreating the wifi fingerprint of another place, to fool wifi-based geolocation systems. Pretend you're at the pool a world away!

Whenever the regime talks about "assaults" on agents, it's useful to substitute "temporary discomforts", which will still be a sensational overstatement
"The affidavit claims, once Ivery was on the ground, his actions caused the helmet of a Border Patrol agent—identified only as “Victim 1”—to “move askew thereby temporarily exposing him to pepper spray in the vicinity.” —Dave Byrnes"

DHS says there are rioters armed with guns, slashing tires, throwing tear gas... But says nothing about the protesters
Statement from DHS where not a single assertion is true. Saying media wasn't attacked, calling protests "violent riots" (which they are once ICE starts rioting), rioters performing violent acts (which ICE definitely does). Noem asserts her rioting agents will not stop or slow them down from "removing the worst of the worst", which is not something they're doing. They're definitely devoting a lot of agents toward attacking peaceful protesters tho, so that's slowing them down.

I humbly wish every browser game would .stopPropagation() and .preventDefault() so basic inputs wouldn't bubble up to the browser.

Without those, most keyboard-controlled web games are unplayable when the browser's typeahead find is turned on.

ICE whine.

newrepublic.com/post/197476/...
Screenshot of linked article: "On Tuesday, Bill Melugin of Fox News reported on X that DHS told him assaults against ICE and federal immigration enforcement are now up 690 percent from last year. While ICE has previously stuck to publishing percentages, Melugin was given raw data, reporting 79 assaults against immigration enforcement agents between January 21 and June 30, up from 10 that took place in the same time last year." For comparison, from January through May, the New York Police Department reported 970 assaults on uniformed officers in the city "Further, reckoning rationally with ICE’s data would require scrutinizing what constitutes an assault in ICE’s eyes, as the agency has done itself no favors by making dubious assault accusations. Take, for example, those it made against New York City Comptroller Brad Lander, who was arrested “for assaulting law enforcement” earlier this month—a claim that The Washington Post’s Phillip Bump likened to a bully accusing his victim “of having gotten in the way of his fist.”

I've been thinking about this tweet for three years straight.
Tweet from @UrsulaV, profile name "Kingfisher & Wombat": "As many, many people have said before, it is so weird to stand on this precipice, looking down at Real Bad Shit Coming, and yet of necessity be so mired in the everyday struggle that you still have to do stuff like eat and make wordcount and stake the tomatoes."

WTAF? Disney/ABC suspended Kimmel indefinitely after perpetually-asinine FCC commissioner Brendan Carr threatened them, but this is one of those times when I just cannot understand what Carr's beef with Kimmel was. Kimmel's words in the screenshots.

www.nbcdfw.com/news/nationa...
Screenshot of Kimmel's words from the linked article. "We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them, and doing everything they can to score political points from it,” Kimmel said during his monologue. “And in between the finger pointing, there was grieving on Friday. The White House flew the flags at half-staff, which got some criticism, but on a human level you can see how hard the president is taking this.” Screenshot of Kimmel's words from the linked article. "Kimmel then returned on screen and reacted to Trump’s response. “Yes, he’s at the fourth stage of grief: construction,” Kimmel said. “Demolition, construction. This is not how an adult grieves the murder of someone he called a friend. This is how a 4-year-old mourns a goldfish, OK?”

I'm not a Kaner, but maybe it's the factory outlet building for whatever used to be there? Several rando businesses from the last 25 years have that address on rando data broker sites.
Google Street View picture of an overgrown sign on a street corner in Kane, PA, taken in 2024. "FACTORY OUTLET" is visible in red letters at the top of the sign, but the rest is obscured by red bushes.

Today's the 30th anniversary of Hackers (1995).

I love this movie. It's a fun, well-produced story about a group of exceptionally competent people who team up to successfully defeat corrupt authority.

Enjoy Slashfilm's (poorly-formatted) oral history:

There are many strengths of Loctite! I finally picked up some purple for tiny screws, but I usually use removable blue.
Infographic showing different kinds of Loctite thread locking compound. Purple, blue, and wicking green are all removable with hand tools, green 270 and red require localized heat to remove.

Midway Blitz? The arcade game from 25 years ago?

GenAI slop has ruined tables of contents. Like if I click into a site and it's got a table of contents, I nope out. 95% chance it's a cookie-cutter slop pile.
Screenshot of a generic table of contents for a bathroom remodeling page, with headings like "Let's Talk Budget" and "The Fun Part: Finishing Touches". I'm so sick of these.
