The fourth circle of Hell: Maslow Alighieri’s Hierarchy of Greeds

89 is a lot of TESCREAL

lmao didn't expect to be this far out. I guess some of these are "in principle only" answers

Sadly, 8-6 was a quieter caucus than in previous years. I have no problem attributing that to the fact that we're a heavily Latinx precinct, one of the most in the city. Good results all around with our group, but there was an aching absence

An (I’m assuming unpopular) thought I have been having is the importance of centering immigrants and refugees in our stories of this moment.

When we center the stories of only observers, we get milquetoast.

Do you know who is brave? The mom who is terrified to go to work accepting help.

Ours in Longfellow was remarkably contained, but there were 120 of us.

Six years to be told to my face what a fucking failure I am in my defense, after the best scientist I know told me he loved me.

It put me into a spiral of depression that lasted six months to a year.

Why did I do it? I did it for me. I liked it. Because I was good at it.

I think people often wonder this, and it's a great question, so let me explain the advantages of 3D printing whistles. There are many.

The 3D printing effort started from one of our organizers who started by sourcing mass-produced whistles.

I gave a talk to the @cartoonist.coop about how to keep your expenses organized for filing your taxes. And I end it with, don't use HR Block or Turbo Tax because they are keeping taxes complicated. If they aren't hiring an accountant, they should use www.freetaxusa.com instead

silver lining of no peak oil is a much longer timeline to figure out renewable fertilizer

Not only did the cybercrime unit in Paris raid the X offices.

They rubbed it in and posted on X that the X offices have been raided.

Then retired their Twitter account, so their final post is that they are raiding Musk.

Absolute legend.

Magnifique! 🇫🇷

SHOCKING FEDERAL COURT MOMENT: DOJ attorney Julie Le, "The system sucks, this job sucks" to Judge Jerry Blackwell who pressed her on why so many court orders are being ignored by ICE/Trump admin. She asked to be held in contempt just so she could get 24 hours of sleep. @FOX9

This is unreal. An AUSA talking like that in open court is about as close as you can come to a total breakdown. Never heard of anything like it.

this posting spree is mostly about leveraging this to get more people to talk to the press and focus on effective strategies.

I think some adjacent neighborhoods may have increased their chatting with the press, but that seems to be about it

I’ve been in four or five chats that have been “doxxed” or sabotaged by right-wing dipshits in the past week, and they mostly just start over right away and people keep doing what they have been doing. Specifically because nothing that is happening is illegal and all of the methods are transparent.

I am going to keep hammering what I see as the dichotomy between offense and defense in how people are confronting ICE here. The offensive aspects (e.g. tracking or observing ICE or doing rapid response) are much less like traditional organizing, whereas the defensive aspects (e.g. mutual aid) are.

Women couldn’t be stormtroopers, so that’s one in three of his male voters. (Women were not much less likely to be Nazis.) Exclude the old men, and you’re approaching half of Nazi men of stormtrooper age actually being stormtroopers.

That, in America? L, O, and I cannot emphasize this enough, L

the aspect ratio makes me think of PCR

I always find gloves make keeping my fingers warm more difficult, but I definitely have bad circulation

once again begging democrats to not continue limiting renters to harmful places

corridor zoning is a public health disaster.

the american version of eichmann is someone who works for doge. he owns The Singularity is Near. he has placed at least bronze in at least one kaggle contest, or equivalent. he does not keep posters on his wall because that's for boomers. his laptop wallpaper is either anime or a spacex rocket.

I don't think this lasts months; the latest I've heard of rooms reserved was May, and I suspect they'll declare victory soon given all the failure they've hit.

This is just an emergency response. Sucks, but people believe in community, and basically everyone's doing *something* already.

like a quarter of the people who do it would probably hate me for saying this, but it resembles beat-cop work, but without weapons or pay

We Will Fill the Vacant Ranks With A Million Freemen More is not a promise. it is a threat.

jfc, the EAs who focus on AI have really lost the plot.

What real heroism looks like is you drive past a school and it’s 7am and it’s -3 out and there are four dads posted at every door scanning every passing car to be sure it’s not someone coming to take the children. And you drive by at noon and they’re there. And you drive by at 3pm and they’re there

My spouse refers to this as boring dangerous work, because most of the time it's just reading license plates, and then suddenly you have to tail someone who will shoot you if they think they can get away with it.

No the “anarchists in bloc” flocking in to fight ICE are very specifically interlopers. Minneapolis is being protected by ordinary neighbors using tactics that they are comfortable with and can learn. That’s why there are tens of thousands of people involved.

The purpose of this is not to divine the internal alignment of these models (which would require many more tests) but to see if they have hardcoded commissar-modules (like deepseek, when you ask about Xi) around subjects sensitive to the current regime.

As of three days ago, they did not.

Come to America! Starve to death in DIFFERENT haunted mountains! (Okay, the same haunted mountains, but now on a new continent!)

I want to let you know about something that happened at Pizza Luce and encourage you to thank and patronize them. One of the drivers at Parkway Pizza who is a friend of mine told me tonight about something that happened at the downtown Mpls Pizza Lucé where his wife works. A kitchen manager has been giving rides to workers afraid to take public transportation to work. Last week, two ICE SUVs pulled her over. There was a young Latina women in the car and ICE grabbed her. She is here legally, but apparently, if you are not white, you need to carry a passport or other documents with you. Despite the fact that she is here legally, ICE flew her to their detention facility outside of El Paso, TX. Fortunately, the owner of the Pizza Lucé chain paid for a lawyer to expedite her release. Unfortunately, when ICE is forced to release people they have unlawfully detained and flown to Texas, they do not fly them back. They just dump them on the streets of El Paso. But again, fortunately, the owner of Pizza Lucé paid for a plane ticket to fly her home. So please thank the folks at Pizza Lucé if you have the chance. Dozens of Minnesotans have not been so lucky as this woman and are trying to find their way back from Texas. Today's NY Times has a story about "Selamawit Mehari, an Eritrean single mother of three.... federal agents showed up at her apartment in St. Paul...(even though) her older daughter produced paperwork proving her mother was in the United States lawfully, the agents shackled Ms. Mehari and took her away." The story cites many like her who "were eventually released in Texas, leaving them to find their own way home."

From FB regarding Pizza Luce in Minnesota.

I like it when I can do something to help people displaced by ICE and then after I do that thing I get to eat a pizza.
