Neighbor shielded 7-year-old during South Shore federal raid: ‘I didn’t want them to take her’ During the Sept. 30 raid one tenant protected a terrified girl and her mom. Remnants at the complex, including a detailed map of all the units, offer clues to what authorities may have known before th...

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door. 

It wasn’t the feds —  it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

Fuck off Jerry. If Kansas aerospace dies you and Marshall own it.

The MSM does not interview community organizers. It's part of why they miss so much of what happens at the local level.

Remember how people lost their minds when I said go to a protest but don't rsvp to one

I did hear about this and I don’t know that I have TEA but I have THOUGHTS

first of all let us not skip past the symbolic significance of “Leo signed the document on Oct. 4, the feast of St. Francis of Assisi”

Protesters are calling the guy on the left “Temu Charlie Kirk”

If they ride the wind for minutes, my guess is Turkey vultures.

Piano Guys still around?

I don’t agree with every point made here, but the main thesis — what we do with billionaires’ money is secondary to the fact that a free society simply cannot allow them to have it — accounts for most of my politics these days.

Any time someone posts about how military folks will follow the constitutionality of their orders over their orders, I just get an immense PTSD flashback from the summer of 2020 in Minneapolis, when Nat'l Guardsmen used door dash drivers and folks sitting on their porches as target practice.

This is a 250 year experiment and after receiving a grant from the Institute for Creative Sociopathy we are pushing the boundaries out.

Fanhome Line Of XL Model Re-Releases Includes 10 Enterprises, K’Tinga, DS9 + More Iconic Star Trek Ships Full list of 20 XL ships was released today at NYCC along with images of some models.

It's a nightmare for my wallet. 😱
Fanhome is launching a new line of 20 replicas featuring hero ships, from TOS, TNG, DS9, Voyager, Enterprise, Lower Decks, Discovery, and the movies (classic and Kelvin).

The models will be available in XL size (between 11 and 12 inches long). Oct. 15, $95.

I've never seen a Nobel Peace Prize sour immediately.

this is correct. and while you would get a nontrivial one off sum from a billionaire tax (not enough for a welfare state, but a lot), the ongoing point of that tax would be prevent billionaires from existing

Exactly. We should not have domestic oligarchs. Let them go f*ck up some other country's political system

A handful of masked feds have come out. ISP greets them with handshakes as they chat.

They’ve been talking for a while now.

1GW+ Capacity Data Centers — And Their Associated Power — Are Entirely Different To Building (and Powering) Smaller Data Centers Kleyman also added that a 1GW data center is a vastly different beast than smaller, 200MW projects. There are ALWAYS little energy/power gremlins you have to worry about. Now... take that statement and apply it to gigawatt-scale deployments. So... At 1 GW+ scale you're looking at a few issues that could creep up. This includes grid stability, harmonic distortion, voltage regulation, and fault current limits, which become far more acute. Here's the thing... with this level of scale, even minor inefficiencies or mis-sizing can turn into big risks. The system needs holistic protection design (switching, relays, breakers) to handle large fault currents, and transient behaviors (inrush, switching surges) can drive huge stress on components. Here's the REALLY important thing to remember... Cooling, water supply, redundancy, and electrical layout (bus duct, conductor sizing) also scale non-linearly. That means... what’s manageable at 100 MW becomes a design headache at 1 GW. There was an interesting McKinsey study which notes that scaling existing data center methods to GW size demands as many as ~290 separate generator units in large architectures, which dramatically multiplies maintenance, coordination, and failure modes.

1GW data centers are entirely different to the smaller ones built in the past. They have different power, cooling and construction problems, and *nobody* has built one yet. And for every 1GW of power, you only get 700MW of IT load/compute capacity.

Not even 24 hours and law enforcement escalated in response to yesterday's ruling.

Along with the State Police being there abusing citizens.

I don't include CPD because it does what it wants. It's never been brought to heel.

I didn't know some people were trying to wash away their sins via donations to Human Rights Watch.

Hahaha. I mean come on now. You geniuses thought it would actually work.

Presbyterian minister David Black on CNN, who was shot with pepper balls while praying outside an ICE facility.

Of all the clerics they could have popped, those ICE idiots had to hit Hot Priest.

I wonder how the right wing propaganda machine is spinning this.

Assuming it's even mentioned.

Maggie the Pug is majorly, totally, butt crazy in love with Josh. She’s wearing Cher’s classic yellow plaid ensemble.

It happened. Last night I was feeling despair about a lot of different things and I realized I needed to enlist my dog’s help to make me feel better.

I present to you Maggie the Pug as Cher Pugowitz.
