J’ai Les Clés

RAMEN!

I was laughing so hard and replayed it 2x.

Not many people can make me laugh that hard by simply walking past an open door. No words, just full, embodied reaction to what he just glanced at. Noah Wyle is impeccable.

What’s a post that will reveal I don’t realize that music is for dancing, celebrating, participating, and connecting with oneself in the moment and with a group of people doing the same on a dance floor… as opposed to selfie-ing, recording, and watching through a small screen?

I’m just going to leave this here

Visitors to our country should not face a digital shakedown. @wyden.senate.gov and I are calling on CBP to reverse its invasive proposal to collect five years of social media history from travelers from trusted partner nations.

Seven Billion Reasons for Facebook to Abandon its Face Recognition Plans Meta’s analysis that it can avoid scrutiny by releasing a privacy invasive product during a time of political crisis is craven and morally bankrupt. It is also dead wrong.

Meta thinks now is a great time to launch facial recognition surveillance tech in their creepy glasses because EFF will be too distracted by fascism to notice.

We noticed.

How ICE Already Knows Who Minneapolis Protesters Are

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

Did not have "Trump DOJ publishes CSAM to internet" on my bingo card of wild news this weekend. Terrible for the victims.

Police Ask For Public’s Help In Falsifying Report

I am. But there are three things at play here regarding ICE collecting private data. Quick rundown on the issue, why you should be paying attention, and what I'm doing about it:

Nice work, Paul.

Never heard of it, but just looked it up and am excited to dig in. Thanks!

Shleemypants is an immortal and omniscient Time Cop with the ability to time travel, who appeared in the episode A Rickle in Time. He is an alien who works as a multidimensional police officer, keeping the multiverse safe from all benders of spacetime. He confronts Rick about a stolen time crystal after Morty and Summer's indecisiveness splits time and brings them to uncertainty. His weapon of choice is a live, slug-like creature named Chris.

Shleemypants. His head is, literally, a testicle. This will never not be funny.

As I was saying…

Chin testicles.
Why must I repeat myself?

TBH, there are way better aliens from Rick & Morty that you could have picked (say, something with testicles hanging from its chin?), but that gif is rad.

Nailed it.

Unfortunately.

Banks Notch Higher Fees From Green Bonds Than Fossil Fuel Debt Wall Street’s biggest banks made more money financing green projects than they did from working with fossil fuel companies for a fourth straight year, even as they faced ongoing pressure to pull back from the business.

There is ven diagram of high finance nerds and true crime nerds and who will enjoy a thoroughly fascinating deep dive on this topic.

At least 16 files have disappeared from the DOJ webpage for documents related to Jeffrey Epstein The Justice Department’s webpage for documents related to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein is missing at least 16 of its files a day after they were released.

The incompetence is funny right up until you remember they're covering up for pedophiles and sex traffickers

Why wait?

Vince Gilligan and his team have done it again.
Rhea Seehorn is superb.

(Also really happy to see Samba Schutte who absolutely slays as Koumba Diabaté. I hope we get to see more of that character in coming episodes.)

Those who confuse #bitcoin with crypto understand neither.

I am, evidently, neither the first nor only one who recognizes this:

I’ve been off this app for a while because the blocking feature renders it unusable, IMHO.

E.g. a few people recently liked my posts from last year where I challenged or debunked lies about #bitcoin, but I’m unable to see what the OP wrote because they either blocked me or deleted what they said.
