Apparently ICE has taken new vehicle deliveries at Whipple for the past three days. So I think we have to stay vigilant, but itβs equally plausible that ICE is so fucking incompetent that the people in charge never talked to the logistics folks who order the cars.

How COYOTE Almost Got Slopped by AI
The sordid tale of the freelancer who never was.
Aided by genAI models like ChatGPT, βwritersβ hoping to get paid for fake stories have become an even bigger problem for publications big and small. One such writer almost pulled one over on COYOTE β until @soleilho.com, who is a nerd, spotted a key idiosyncrasy.

I was hired by the Washington Post in 2017 to cover how Trump is bad and nobody likes him, particularly through the lens of homosexual communism
Today I was laid off
Reached out to Ed Martin to ask if he'd comprehended that this was satire, and asked him whether he's even seen Arrested Development before. Will report back if he responds.

For a story I'm working on, I'd love to talk to VOTERS who:
-Live in MISSISSIPPI & have been sent to the wrong polling place on Election Day, either due to the polling place locator or a precinct change
-Live in NEVADA or COLORADO & vote at a vote center of your choice
-Live in OREGON or WASHINGTON

I canβt stress this enough. The state of 4th Amendment law is that the cops canβt force you to type in a passcode but they can force you to swipe your finger or present your face. Never stop using passcodes/passwords to unlock your devices. And consider additional code to unlock Signal.
