Building the camps
The warehouseification of detention and initial thoughts on stopping it.
When I got the contract to write a history of concentration camps in 2014, I hoped to keep the US from ending up here. That didn't work out! But now it's critical to understand how much is already in process and the enormity of what's coming. The sooner we act to stop it, the more people we'll save.

Go to www.house.gov/representati... and send your rep a polite email asking if they think this is ok.
Also good to ask: who’s paying for it? How is this happening during the shutdown?

i think people would be a little more gentle to one another if they all watched the music video for first day of my life by bright eyes

Did not expect to spend an hour today learning about 19th century typesetting, but this documentary on the Linotype was super interesting.

I never heard this slow version before and I love it! And recorded just a few miles from my childhood home. Thanks so much for sharing.

Stay Gold, America
We are at an unprecedented point in American history.
Jeff Atwood steps up to be a thing that’s sorely needed in tech right now: a leader. He actually *gives* half of his current net worth (not a pledge — he already cut checks) to 8 organizations helping the most vulnerable. blog.codinghorror.com/stay-gold-am... An inspiring move, when it most matters.

Might not even be contained in a box. In our old house this just sent the blades flying into the wall/attic. Handyman had to deal with it one day when we had a plumbing issue. I had no idea what the slot was even for, since it was unlabeled or maybe painted over.

The theme to Game of Thrones was another big one for him. He's come running every time he heard it.
Still miss him every single day.

We had a (very beloved) Scottie who would freak out over the opening notes of Sonny & Cher’s “Little Man” because it was featured in that Amazon commercial with a pony a few years ago. He loved horses, so anything with a horse would get a reaction.

Are there any Bluesky client apps that preserve my reading position in the timeline? I’ve tried the official app, Skeets, and Openvibe, none of which seem to know that reading position is even a thing. A fresh launch of the app puts me at the very top of the timeline every time.

I’m seeing a lot of the more famous folks reposting their stuff that is only a few hours old.
I think people are trying to rebuild their Twitter follower counts, and unfortunately it’s probably kind of effective for them.
