I think it's really worth noting that this concentration camp was opened one month and three days ago.

This woman saw enough horror in that time to quit and tell the public what she saw.

Which suggests that it's not as bad as we think, or as bad as we can envision from her description—it's worse.

It's been a months of job/contracts searching now. Still absolutely nothing despite weeks of interviews, 3 stage interviews with lots of waiting in between, just for a rejection answer.

So yeah, if anyone has a job for me. I do UI/UX, 2D art, I can draw cool icons and animate stuff 😎.

I NEED to tell you the story of Tae Heung “William” Kim.

He's a graduate student at Texas A&M where he's working on a vaccine for Lyme disease.

He's a *legal permanent resident* of the United States.

And he's been in ICE detention for 12 days & counting, transferred Tuesday to South Texas.

“It is a mockery on the part of Little League to keep us here in Bogotá with the hope that our children can fulfill their dreams of participating in a world championship,” the team's statement said. “What do we do with so much injustice, what do we do with the pain that was caused to our children?”

Apple's Liquid Glass: When Aesthetics Beat Function - Max van IJsselmuiden Apple's new Liquid Glass design system prioritizes aesthetics over usability, creating beautiful but hard-to-read interfaces that repeat the same mistakes as touchscreen car dashboards.

“Just like car manufacturers are now discovering as they bring back physical controls. Sometimes the old knob worked better than the shiny new touchscreen.”

Richmond Art Center - The Magic of Illustration <p>In this class we will explore the many ways that images and words come together to bring stories and ideas to life. You'll learn about the languages of picture books, comics, infographics, and more...

All humans are born loving to draw. As we get older, most of us stop drawing and start believing we can’t. You can! And you need to! It’s part of what makes us complete humans.

My friend @betsystreeter.bsky.social is teaching an 8 week course at the Richmond Art Center.

Get your joy back!

Turns Out, Meta's AI Data Centers Use Up a Lot of Water In Addition to Electricity Something that hasn't gotten enough attention is whether the entire AI enterprise is even sustainable, given how the computing power currently required, scaled upwards, uses incredible amounts of ener...

Every time you use AI, a lot of water gets used.

"Meta's Georgia facility, per the Times, "guzzles around 500,000 gallons of water a day," or about 10 percent of the total water used in the small community surrounding it."

A regular reminder that using Grok is actively poisoning my former home of Memphis, Tennessee, a relatively poor and majority Black major city in the American South. Allowing the DoD to use it will escalate this dramatically.
