More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.

They’ve had their necks kneeled on.

They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.

At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

I've successfully replaced SOP-100 chips without damaging the board!

I have a doc highlighting how I restore and test things: docs.google.com/document/d/e...

I've been having a *fantastic* time fixing retro gaming consoles, working on my soldering skills, learning to use my oscilloscope, etc.

I remember first learning that every US company essentially requires you to use a burner phone / laptop when traveling to China, Russia, or other authoritarian regimes, for your safety and the safety of their IP. Now the world sees the US in the same way. Are we great yet? So much winning...

willing to bet no member of the Daily Show audience applauding the news that the LAT is going to IPO has ever worked for a money-incinerating regional newspaper owned by a publicly traded company

It's become clear that this administration is just a protracted war on anybody who's read a book without pictures in it. It's a miracle we're all still getting up and going to work every morning. The psychological drain is the point, and I'm increasingly grateful to the people who are still decent.

"i asked grok" "i asked chatgpt" yeah well i asked carl sagan and he said the greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance but the illusion of knowledge 🧪

Challenge: Can you make king crabs extinct in 90 minutes?

Me: nope,but that won't stop me from trying.

(I was going to include a pic but that would have eaten up valuable shell cracking time. When all was said and done, at least 20 crabs were sacrificed)

leftists: that thing you teach us in school to be terrified of is happening

historians: that thing is definitely happening

star wars: here is a beat-for-beat breakdown of how the thing happens, but with pew pew lasers. we know you watched it

news outlets: these protesters are out of control

Maybe this only proves your point about enshitification because glean is trained on your company content so it can't be overwhelmed by slop. But it is certainly powerful use case for LLMs delivering value.

I can't tell you how many times I've thought "where was that document again where we agreed on the thing?" Or even "was that thing a wiki or a Google doc I can't remember"

You can ask glean to find direct answers to questions like who is so and so's manager or what are this year's company holidays

I can give you one data point, we use a tool called Glean at work, it's basically chatGPT but it can see all your internal stuff, email, slack, Google docs, company wiki.

Glean has changed everything for me, it is a far better search than any of these have built in and it can search across them.

Your Medicaid is cut. Your health insurance is not safe. Your tips are still taxed. You pay the tariffs. There’s no trade deals. No wars have ended. Gas isn’t $2. Eggs aren’t cheaper. There isn’t $10 trillion in investment. The Epstein files are buried.

It’s. All. Lies.

All the time.

If you put googly eyes on the Pillars of Creation you get muppets 😄😄

I love this song 🥰

screenshot of a Facebook post by Corey Robin, which says: "By the way, did you all notice how Zohran made affordability a central issue of his campaign without selling out trans kids or shitting on immigrants? Might be some lessons there. Just a thought."

he's right and he's right to say it

Be sure to check on your cyber security friends 😂😂😂

ICE use pens to hold up their shirt pocket flaps, to hide their names. Waiting in San Diego courthouse to grab immigrants attending hearings. Criminals

Hiding their faces, hiding their names by using pens to hold their pocket flaps up, hiding their names. ICE agents have “consciousness of guilt,” know they are committing crimes. They need to be unmasked, named, and charged #UnmaskICE

It's important to know the warning signs.

I thought America had problems but I never realized that Trump truly destroyed it until I saw people willingly choosing to be British

the world watches with bemused concern as america repeatedly slams its penis in the car door of history

HASSAN: What is habeas corpus?

NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country

HASSAN: That's incorrect

Did you remember to test the edge cases for those wolves? 😂

A shocking number of ICE agents are suddenly wearing masks, but I'm sure it isn't because they are fucking gestapo nazis and they know they are breaking the law. It's probably just their commitment human health. I bet they just have a tickle in their throats going around, right?

See if you can outdo this, @nytpitchbot.bsky.social, for putting a genteel spin on unlawful and unconstitutional bribes."

The president who’s taking bribes wants you to know that the people noticing his crime are the “crooked” ones

A president who governs by “Executive Orders” is weak, not strong.

Also mothers are being 'battled' by ICE while holding children but sure, flowers
