Thor bites fascists

Apple Banned an App That Simply Archived Videos of ICE Abuses Eyes Up's purpose is to "preserve evidence until it can be used in court." But it has been swept up in Apple's crackdown on ICE-spotting apps.

New: Apple banned an app that simply archived videos of ICE abuses. Rather than other apps that record ICE official's real-time location, Eyes Up is to "preserve evidence until it can be used in court." Videos from TikTok etc. Every submission manually reviewed

I’ve been circling a cursed thought for a while and it’s time to let it out: These guys are Disney Adults for fascism.

Tiny Miller talking to woman

“It’s sort of a reverse Pinocchio thing. Every time I say something fascist, I shrink by 1/1000th of an inch. Darndest thing.”

The vast majority of the country has no idea how out of control ICE is right now. Yes, there's reporting on ICE raids and protests, but most people are not seeing photos and videos of horrific incidents like this, or the apartment building raid.

If most people did know they'd be horrified.

Right? Also, so many people who've never driven a manual! I've always thought that driving a manual keeps you engaged - and paying attention - in a different way than driving an automatic.

I'm so sorry...what a good loyal friend for all those years.

Clarence Thomas Admits That He’s Coming for Our Rights In a little-covered speech, the Supreme Court justice explained how he thinks the court should reverse rulings conservatives don’t like.

A wonderfully cogent piece by @elienyc.bsky.social that does a great job explaining in plain English why Thomas' approach to jurisprudence isn't just casual partisan hackery but an existential threat to the foundations of how the SC is supposed to function. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Happy Establishment date Dinosaur National Monument! On this day in 1915 President W. Wilson created the monument to protect the Carnegie Quarry: “...an extraordinary deposit of Dinosaurian & other gigantic reptilian remains of the Juratrias period, which are of great scientific interest & value...”

Thank you Pasadena neighbors! This is the kind of Halloween I need!

It's time for all of us to stop using self-checkouts. Self-checkouts are costing real jobs and shifting work to customers. Take a little time, stand in line, and interact with a person!

Alt text: Screenshot of a Fox News Digital article reporting that Apple removed the ICEBlock tracking app from its App Store after the Department of Justice raised safety concerns. The article states DOJ officials, under Attorney General Pam Bondi, asked Apple to take down the app, claiming it endangered law enforcement officers and shielded illegal immigrants. Bondi confirmed the removal in a statement, saying ICEBlock put ICE agents at risk and emphasized DOJ’s commitment to protecting federal officers.

This was done at the direction of Pam Bondi. The US government is now dictating what apps you can have on your phone.

The underlying threat here is if Apple didn't comply, they'd slap billions in tariffs on Apple products.

F*ck Apple, f*ck Apple, f*ck apple.

I love when student journalists break a crazy story, especially about their own school. This one is extraordinarily macabre. www.uscannenbergmedia.com/2025/10/01/u...

Moment of the explosion in El Segundo

It is truly wild when you realize how much of coastal or coastal-adjacent property in California is occupied by fossil fuel facilities. Some of the best real estate in the world, and it is occupied by some of worst infrastructure we have.
