We can already shoot space stuff from Earth 🀨

I’d like to know the RMA process for components being hit by tiny space shards going at high velocity.

Two Bluesky posts:
1. Kenwhite’s post about ProPublica journalists being next for arrest.
2. ProPublica’s post of their article identifying two CBP agents involved with Alex Pretti shooting

It’s been one of the weirdest weeks of my career. Looking at a neat hobby (clawdbot creation) turned into security issues (my attention space, needing a 3xrename is nuts) turned into checking in on moltbook and β€œwhat could possibly go wrong?” with exponential growth, content, and humans πŸ”₯

And Canadians trying to do parental rights like the US get caught in this annoying thing… we don’t have parental rights. We have child rights.

β€œIt’s what we do” - well, good confirmation that they need to be reminded to be legal, ethical and moral because they’re on camera.

Today’s anarchy is using watercolour paints in what my brain as deemed a β€œmarkers only” colouring book. I’m reminded of how much more I enjoy paints over markers.

Not going to lie, I’m actually surprised the #Halifax bike lane is mostly plowed on South Park st. #bikeHFX

Honestly the only thing I could probably bet on with them is β€œwhat’s awful, and somehow still make it skull-crushingly dumb”

While 2 days of snow days was met with β€œreally??!!” - I *did* manage to get Minecraft set up for kiddo and me to play together. 10/10 happy he’s old enough to play games with, and he’s going to probably be -5 happy to learn what I do for a living when he’s older (security)

I meant it more as to how I judge places for no info online - and how I got the info for the coffee in my coffee+accidents assessment; apologies if it came off as advising that the info was just hidden!

I judge it places are open based on if coffee is open and # of accidents.

AI search finally found a use case: β€œis Java Blend Open” as I don’t have Instagram and I made Facebook hard to get to (I’m distractable) - delayed open.

Accidents about so workers may not be there.

Oh I was thinking the small ones near the Vanceboro /McAdam crossing - and not now, but my trust-o-meter is about -1000 for these folks

Friend, Maine has a border crossing only open 12 hrs a day next to a village the USA+Canada have long history of crossing (church in CA, gas and milk in US) along with camping islands between the two countries. Nationwide solidarity and not accidentally crossing into CA

The 7am project due made me chuckle at my kid telling me, while we’re waiting for the city bus that we’re late for because he got pissed, β€œoh, I need to bring a lunch today. And we need to be early for the field trip.”

"ICE will leave Minnesota if you hand over your voter rolls" tells you everything you need to know.

This was never about immigration or fraud. It was always about rigging elections.

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

An open watercolour paper book with many colourful flower stamps, cat stamps, and weather stamps have been placed. There’s a watercolour frog in a suit with a thinking bubble saying β€œflies”. In the top left there’s text that states, β€œOrders for stamp supplies from: Papergram - Toronto. Paper Whisper - Sweden. Nekoto Books - Calgary”

Stamps arrived this week, along with some other stationary supplies. Clearly playing around was in order.
