There is no easier or more important political position to take than to do everything possible to stop this. It will change our society forever, and Democrats are going along with it.

Apparently ICE has taken new vehicle deliveries at Whipple for the past three days. So I think we have to stay vigilant, but it’s 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, β€œwriters” 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.

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 was in middle school in the 1980s, and an eighth-grader was dating a basketball COACH in his mid-twenties. Nobody thought it was all that weird (presumably, parents and bosses were unaware).

I can’t stress this enough. The state of 4th Amendment law is that the cops can’t 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.
