Also, buying the equipment from sales reps based in China (whose English is often very hit or miss) is pretty hilarious/mortifying

What's even funnier is having to search for this kind of equipment while I'm at work. You learn very quickly to use terms like "linear vibratory feeder". Your search results are very NSFW if you aren't careful

Funniest part about working with equipment designed to move powdered bulk materials is that you just have a room full of boxes labeled "vibrators".

Breaking on MS NOW:

@lawofruby.bsky.social reports that, in the latest release of Epstein files, the Trump DOJ produced documents revealing the names and other identifying details of known Epstein survivors.

In at least one case, MS NOW found a driver's license with an unredacted photo.

Here's a copy of one of the deleted files, that contains the most damning accusations against Trump (and others). #Streisand

Uhhhh this file magically disappeared from the dump after being up for a while apparently

Yes. This has been a talking point in far right circles for a while now. They're horny for the manly, tough ICE goons in full battle rattle, as opposed to the limp-wristed, fey libtard men in their lives.

LMAO

They think we're calling this administration fascist because...we're horny? What?

Senate Democrats’ ICE Proposals Are a Huge and Inexcusable Whiff Their opening bid should have been eight or 10 bold proposals. But as usual, the Democrats start by negotiating with themselves.

NEVER THOUGHT I'D DIE FIGHTING SIDE BY SIDE WITH A LIBERTARIAN TAXATION IS THEFT PLEASE SHUT THE FUCK JIP AND PUT YOUR GAS MASK ON

i am happy to fight for freedom with the libertarians but also, we don’t really need to *talk*

Recall that Melissa Hortman and her husband were murdered not long ago by a fake cop who showed up at their door looking like this guy

the arrest of journalists in minneapolis, including don lemon, is more evidence that the only move the administration knows how to make is to use force, and does not know how to respond when that force is met with defiance and indifference.

Q: Do you have comment on the career prosecutors that are resigning in Minneapolis?

BLANCHE: *walks away*

will await further details, but I do not think there is any conceivably good thing that could come of this.

I would not make that assumption. It's more likely that they are investigating because they want to argue that Pretti violated the rights of the ICE officers.

I will be thrilled if I'm wrong, but I doubt I am

Yahoo with the frontrunner for Most Insane Social Graphic of 2026

I read recipes the same way I read science fiction. I get to the end and I think, "Well, that's not going to happen."

BOING!

Breaking on MS NOW:

Career DOJ prosecutors in both Minnesota and Los Angeles refused to be involved in charging Don Lemon and the other journalists who covered the Minneapolis church protests.

The prosecutors believe the evidence does not support the charges, per @carolleonnig.bsky.social.

[voiceover]: "But these Honda Days would be far from happy"

This seems like a convenient excuse to withhold any document

Luigi Mangione will not face the death penalty after judge nixes two federal counts The judge dismissed two of the four federal counts against Mangione, including murder through use of a firearm, which carried a potential death sentence.

BREAKING: Luigi Mangione will not face the death penalty in trial over the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, judge rules.

You could imagine similar situations in which members of the media coordinated in solidarity around Lemon to direct sustained negative attention to Trump over this story. Instead the political press spent the earlier part of the week making up a fake story ("new tone") to help Trump.

How ICE Already Knows Who Minneapolis Protesters Are

There was, in MN, a palpable, constant sense of fear that could even feel like paranoia from people engaged in civil resistance. Here’s why:

www.nytimes.com/2026/01/30/t...

ICE is using two facial recognition programs in Minnesota, they said, including one made by the tech company Clearview AI and a newer program, Mobile Fortify. The agency is also using cellphone and social media tools to monitor people’s online activity and potentially hack into phones. And agents are tapping into a database, built by the data analytics company Palantir, that combines government and commercial data to identify real-time locations for individuals they are pursuing, the current and former officials said.

The government is using technology to identify protestors, and then using that information to track and intimidate them. The people using the devices are wearing masks, but we know the companies creating the technology.
