You don't need to hack a device when you can get all you need from real-time data brokerages

The personal data surveillance economy has now become fully integrated into the operations of the police state

Only rigorous and independent oversight of both sectors can preserve rights & freedoms

Still doing it

This made me yearn.

The only interesting thing that could happen at this event has not.

Didn't listen to half-dead Dear Leader, instead I went and SHATTERED my clean and jerk PR by 15kgs (130kg). 💪 Lift heavy, fight fascism, and (unofficially) break state Olympic lifting records. Tonight was good.

if they abandon the will to take decisive action and turn the wheel of history and thus subject it to their own rational decision; if they are so devoid of all individuality, have already gone so far along the road toward turning into a spiritless and cowardly mass -then they deserve their downfall.

"If the German people are already so corrupted and spiritually crushed that they do not raise a hand, frivolously trusting in a questionable faith in lawful order of history; if they surrender man's highest principle, that which raises him above all other God's creatures, his free will;"

"Who among us has any conception of the dimensions of shame that will befall us and our children when one day the veil has fallen from our eyes and the most horrible of crimes - crimes that infinitely outdistance every human measure - reach the light of day?"

"Nothing is so unworthy of a civilized nation as allowing itself to be governed without opposition by an irresponsible clique that has yielded to base instinct. It is certain that today every honest German is ashamed of his government."

The Fremen would just immediately take this guy’s water

Almost starting now!

This local Wolfdog joined an Olympic ski event and triggered the finish-line camera. This is Nazgul. He snuck into a cross-country skiing sprint this morning and raced the homestretch with some competitors before being escorted home. 14/10 someone get him a medal

Way back old SketchUp from 2015 was pretty good before Garmin made it paid. It had a huge library of user-made stuff like bookshelves. I still use it to sketch up home projects, but it's admittedly a drafting-tool first sorta program.

Courts have ruled 4,400 times that ICE jailed people illegally. It hasn’t stopped. The decisions amount to a huge legal rebuke, but the administration has continued jailing people indefinitely.

"Hundreds of judges around the country have ruled more than 4,400 times since October that President Donald Trump’s administration is detaining immigrants unlawfully, a Reuters review of court records found."

pizza all the way...

This is why I say just watch some arborist YouTube, spend 1k on climbing equipment, and do it yourself!

ICE’s pending $30 billion budget exceeds the military spending of nearly every country, including Canada, Brazil, Mexico, and Iran.

ICE + CBP funding for 2026 would total $66 billion, higher than all but 7 militaries worldwide.

‘Absolute hell’: Irishman with valid US work permit held by Ice since September Seamus Culleton has been in a detention facility in Texas for nearly five months despite having no criminal record

For every one of these Kafkaesque stories of inhumane cruelty i am guessing you can multiply by twenty the number of similar cases we don't hear about because the victim is not white, or fluent in English, or doesn't have advocates able and willing to go public

100% have a bunch of family members and acquaintances in this boat. I've had to narrow down so many relationships over it. I'm still trying to find a good balance. But the anger and frustration I feel at them and the billionaires is pretty hot. I'm sorry for the disconnection it inevitably brings..

Being MAGA must be so exhausting. You can’t watch the Super Bowl half time show because despite tons of non-Americans having performed, Fox News has told you the Spanish-speaking American dude isn’t American enough. So instead you have to tune into TPUSA and pretend to like Kid Rock 😆

I'm curious to see how these hold up over time. Gonna need monthly updates!

Whit, apparently you have also grown a third hand to pat yourself on the back with as well? 🤣

Fun fact: Trump is mentioned in the Epstein files more than Jesus is mentioned in the bible.

And that’s just the unredacted version.

TPU has been fun, it's very sticky on the plate. Best creation so far has been a adapter collar for spools too wide to fit on the AMS hubs.

The mainstream news media will never call Trump explicity racist. They'll always dodge the allegation. That's because the white people running the joints need to believe that there is a distinction between donig racist things and promoting racist polices, versus being *personally* racist.
