That one, yes… the Carnegie scientist you don’t want to listen to but know you probably should. There’re more important things to worry about now, but I like that I answered some burning questions.

The good news is that the client is going to trip and die in a lot less time than 3-5 years.

My read on this trend is that it reflects the “We’re living in a hell-hole, world-wide, dystopian nightmare, nothing matters and we’re all going to die soon, so who gives a fuck” prevailing attitude. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/11/m...

UPDATE: The Council on American-Islamic Relations called for a rally at SFO on Thursday at 8:30 a.m. to demand the two men's "immediate release." The two men, they said, were still being held. They were first detained at 1 p.m. on Wednesday.

I cannot emphasize this point enough. These weapons will kill you if you are sitting on the ground. These weapons will kill you if fired into you while you are surrendering to cops. These weapons will kill you if fired into you at point-blank range, as in the context of a kettle.

Hey folks, Long Beach Community Table provides free groceries to the homebound and to the food impoverished here. It’s an incredible service run, with a tiny staff and unfortunately a bit short on rent and payroll while various grants are hanging. Anyone feel like they can help a little? Thanks!

The head of ICE enforcement and removal HAS RESIGNED rather than sanction the unethical demands of the administration.

Cops are shooting impact munitions madly. They're shooting at people who are simply moving along on sidewalks and leaving the area as they were ordered to do. No one in this video is throwing anything at police. Mounted cops are coming up behind people and hitting them with extra long riot batons.

LAPD has been directly shooting demonstrators and reporters with rubber bullets for the last 3 days and nights. Rubber bullets when fired directly can and have killed. The fuck do you mean LAPD has been preventing gunfire? They shot first, like they always do.

ICE agents pulled this guy out of his car and beat the shit out of him, putting him in the E.R. Then they pulled him out of the hospital saying he was a "violent gang member." (He's a Doordash driver with only a traffic ticket on his record.) Now he's just...gone. What a nightmare.

the word "constitution" does not appear in this article nor does any indication that the Trump regime's actions might be illegal it does however note "White House officials maintain that the president is ... standing up for 'law and order' as Democrats go soft on violent agitators."

Highly recommend this Construction Physics blog post on the viability of solar power as the backbone of an electricity system. Seriously, read it -- most people, even energy-literate people, have not kept up on this subject. Things have changed *so* fast, all your old cliches are outdated.

This would be a meme posted by the department whose head recently testified that Habeas Corpus means the President can order the detention of anyone he wants, yes?

That's funny because Trump and Musk leak national security secrets that may ruin America and its allies.

Reading @joshtpm.bsky.social here and thinking back to how ElmoTrumpInc took over the ACH guts of the federal government which gives them direct access to (a) all our checking accounts through which we collect our direct deposit paychecks from our employers & (b) the means to intercept all of that.

From @jamellebouie.net: Sending in the military to trample free expression shows the weakness of the administration. "A regime that has to deploy force at the first sign of dissent is a regime that does not actually believe it can wield power short of coercion and open threats of violence."

How is that out of the eighty douchebags standing around with nothing to do there isn’t one guy at the end who just says “Hey, ma’am, are you trying to get to your home or something and can I escort you there?” When there’s *nothing* going on, how is that not what the training is?
