Organized labour fella. Analog preferences. All AI is stolen labour and work until proven otherwise. Reject it in all forms. Books, bikes, cats and dogs. Climbing trees, driving boats, and restoring forests in Coastal Cascadia.

Palestinian Uncles doing freestyle poetry battles coming with some of the hardest lines I’ve heard in a long time.

People say you can see certain memes too much and that they lose meaning and resonance, but have they simply considered this one?

I appreciate that you likely followed jetskigate very closely, and for that, again, we apologize

Look, there's a lot of people out there, and I wish they could all have 4 bicycles. But since they can't, I'm putting in the legwork to make up for them.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Just got gassed pretty good at the labor union anti-ICE protest in Portland. Massive march, 5-10k strong. Vibes were very much liberal rather than radical. Lots of kids and older folks.

They gassed the whole crowd as soon as it marched on ICE, in broad daylight.

It makes you sound crazy to say this out loud, but it's becoming increasingly clear that the United States government has been effectively toppled by a group of overt pedophiles

A screenshot from the ADS-B Exchange flight tracking website showing a flight with the callsign "VANCE1" and hex code ADFDF9. The aircraft is listed as a Boeing VC-25A (the model used for Air Force One). On the map, the flight path has been spoofed to create a large, pixelated portrait of a face in shades of pink and red against a blue background.

A view of the completed ADS-B flight path art. The spoofed signals have successfully rendered the "Curly Hair JD Vance" meme as a massive pixelated portrait over a map. The face is composed of bright red and pink trails, while the surrounding rectangular border is filled in with shades of purple and blue.

A meme image of JD Vance, edited to give him a full, thick beard and voluminous, curly brown hair. He is wearing a blue suit with an American flag pin and a bright pink tie, looking directly into the camera against a solid blue background.

A technical close-up of the ADS-B Exchange map showing the dense grid of spoofed data points used to "paint" the image. Each point includes labels for speed (80kt) and various altitudes (ranging from 12,000ft to 50,000ft). A timestamp from January 27, 2026, is visible, highlighting the complexity of the coordinate injection used to render the portrait.

It's an inflection point, a phase change, a new ability unlocked in creative ADS-B spoofing. We've seen primitive vector art before, but as far as I know never raster spoofing. (This isn't RF spoofing, this is sending bad data over the network to an aggregator.)
