I reckon at least a couple of those businesses will go under before that

Enya and a Linux cdrom in the Super Bowl commercials. What decade is this?

Years of trying to explain and warn about hallucinations … everybody should get it now?

It’s your patriotic duty to invest through a nationalized saving account for your kid and betting on fantasy sports ball

We like all kinds of music

Can we get fencing on ice?

Also have to expect vendors will now be excited to sell many new devices and support contracts, assuming there's budget on the fed side for that. And then you've got to worry about vendor selection criteria. This could result in the largest self-p4wn compromise update of IT systems in history.

"...[End of Support] devices should not reside anywhere on federal networks."

This is A Very Big Deal coming in a Binding Operational Directive. I was pushing for this strong stance while at the agency. Happy to see forward progress!

I have hit this before but I don’t think I am at liberty to talk about that particular unauthenticated, networked, remote shell feature.

This thread!

This won’t surprise any Oregonian. But it’s not uniquely Oregonian. This is everyday anywhere USA.

Also, the problem is CBP writ large.

“The population of CBP agents and officers who have been arrested since 2005 would make it roughly the nation’s fourth largest police department — equal to the size of the entire Philadelphia police.”

I have heard about DHS literally every day for over a year

They left an elderly US citizen on her way to pay her rent with a torn rotator cuff and a concussion. This was in Salem, Oregon. Absolutely no one should vote to fund these lawless thugs.

I bet Singularity Six loves this!

Apple’s similarly goosing v26 adoption this week.

That sounds bad! 16 shootings without a charge is horrific!

But...

10 times worse, would be 160 shootings without a charge.

100 times worse, would be 1,600 shootings without a charge.

That's close to the number of Black people that US police kill every 5 years without charge.

100 times worse.

Trump’s acting cyber chief uploaded sensitive files into a public version of ChatGPT The interim director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency triggered an internal cybersecurity warning with the uploads — and a DHS-level damage assessment.

The guy Kristi Noem brought up with her from South Dakota to lead cybersecurity for the US federal civilian government…doesn’t know how to cybersecurity?!!? www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

Liam himself is five goddamned years old and should be at home with an adult he trusts right now no matter who his parents are. It would not matter if they were literal criminal masterminds, Liam Ramos is a baby and babies do not belong in prison.

Following the killing of AFGE Member Alex Pretti and the subsequent slanderous rhetoric that followed from top Trump administration officials, AFGE National President Everett Kelley issued the following statement: “Yesterday, AFGE brought together labor and faith leaders from Minneapolis and across the nation to mourn our fallen brother from Local 3669, Alex Pretti. We honored his life and legacy and lifted up his family, his friends, his union, Minneapolis, and our nation in prayer. “Today, we demand accountability. “In the immediate aftermath of Alex’s killing, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem betrayed the public trust by slandering the good name of our union brother and calling him a “domestic terrorist.” Alex Pretti was a patriotic ICU nurse at a VA hospital who devoted his life to serving America’s veterans. That claim was reckless, defamatory, and unsupported by the facts. Noem was preceded in this false statement by Stephen Miller, Deputy White House Chief of Staff, who is also the architect of the chaotic and failed immigration policy in Minnesota. “Our demand is clear: Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, who was responsible for carrying out the policy that led to Alex’s needless killing, and Deputy White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, the architect of that policy, must resign immediately. If they refuse, President Trump must dismiss them.

The American Federation of Government Employees, which represents border patrol officers at the National Border Patrol Council, calls on Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller to resign or be fired

Our country was founded on resistance to a tyrant.

Well then: May I also suggest grabbing a basic MSA half mask respirator with p100 filters. They're not super uncomfortable. I wear one a lot of the time when cutting and all the time when doing finishing. The best buy in my tiny woodshop.

The cyclone paired with the extractor makes a notable difference too and should prolong the hepa filter and motor life.

derek chauvin murdered george floyd; i don't think derek chauvin intended to kill floyd, his indifference to whether his victim died was bad enough. these ice gestapo goons want to murder people who defy them, they actively seek it out. it's not gonna get better until it gets worse first

I guess I do think if you participated in the arrest of a five-year-old you are probably just fundamentally incompatible with society. That you are not a safe person for humanity to be around, generally

There is going to come a time in your life when you are chatting with a guy, at a barbecue or something, a new coworker maybe, a dad at school drop off, and he tells you he used to be in ICE. You’re going to need to spit on that guy

How about it @wyden.senate.gov and @merkley.senate.gov ?

Wow, you can shit your pants that hard?

Pig butchering text exchange: “How about we get some coffee tog er?” Followed by a baity reply.

I’m getting almost one a day lately. The conversations usually end quickly though.
