Greetings! I’m here at a car caravan in downtown Los Angeles, and run by several unions and immigrant rights groups. A large turnout, they started at MacArthur Park and are now in downtown LA.

Everybody’s gonna learn this lesson the hard way: anything even adjacent to this chan culture dogwhistle shit is deeply unpopular. Like the incels they’re catering to, you and your brand develop permanent stench from being around any of it.

UK police arrest at least 466 people at Palestine Action protest in London Critics say ban on activist group stifles freedom of speech and assembly and aims to curb pro-Palestine demonstrations.

UK police arrested hundreds today at protests over the Palestine Action ban.

Absolutely bonkers quote from the police here: “It will take time, but we will arrest anyone expressing support for Palestine Action."

Just to reiterate: Simple written or verbal expressions of support are illegal.

Fascism is here. We are not “getting closer” or “in danger of.”

This matters because it frames our discussion: We aren’t trying to prevent it, we’re trying to defeat it. It’s not taking over our institutions, it’s taken them over.

Otherwise, we’re always behind, fighting a past we’ve already lost.

If you think same sex marriage is safe, consider that in his Dobbs concurrence, Justice Alito wrote

“we should reconsider..Obergefell. Because any substantive due process decision is ‘demonstrably erroneous,’..we have a duty to ‘correct the error’..overruling these demonstrably erroneous decisions”

You recognize that this means that peaceful protest is effectively being made illegal in the United States, right?

It's true. Crime is so out of control in Washington DC that a violent mob stormed the Capitol, tried to hang Mike Pence, and attempted to prevent the certification of the election.

A teenage 4channer was beat up by two 15 year olds in DC, which was spotted and quickly stopped by nearby police. He told his friends, the richest man in the world and the Vice President of the United States, that he was pummeled by a dozen adult Romanians. A week later, Trump federalized DC police.

Welp, I fell for viral marketing misinformation suggesting Tesla uses its remote features to manipulate or coerce owners. Having covered the company for a decade: A) I'm not surprised I fell for it, and B) I almost feel targeted

Deleting a post about Israel “accidentally” killing international journalists because I missed that they had declared them terrorists.

Everyone involved in this genocide needs to be sent to The Hague

I've previously had something like that - dealing with a developer so obnoxious/intolerable that over a dozen people independently reached to managers to say they refused to work with him in any project.

Same profile - fresh out of ivy league, straight into big tech, ego bigger than the Sun.

I can't help but think this has to do a lot with work history. Big tech hiring devs straight out of college (usually ivy league), telling them they are the best thing since sliced bread leads to *insufferable* people that nobody wants to work with.

*Sigh* Another merge window, another bcachefs drama thread.

As much as bcachefs had some interesting features proposed, I will be glad when it's out of tree and kernel devs can focus on their work without all the drama of a coder who thinks he knows better than every other kernel developer.
