please can we stop calling it the 'Epstein Ballroom' that is very disrespectful to the people who have donated to it - for their sake let us at least call it by its proper name, the "Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, Meta Platforms, Apple, Coinbase, Comcast, T-Mobile, Google, Blackstone, YouTube, Booz Allen Hamilton and Lockheed Martin present the Epstein Ballroom".

Thank you.

If you live in San Francisco, today is a good day to familiarize yourself with the San Francisco Rapid Response Network, which has a 24-hour hotline for reporting ICE raids, actually verifies those raid reports, and does attorney activation: https://sfilen.org/resources/sf-rapid-response-network/

An additional tax on millionaires in Massachusetts has generated $3 billion more than expected without forcing significant high-profile departures from the state. The money is being used to fund bridge repairs, literacy programs and public transport.

I for one think the Epstein Ballroom will be magnificent. I love the decor theme of “what if Uday Hussein ran a Ramada Inn.” And giving it a theme song everyone will associate with it is a stroke of brilliance! “Thank Heaven for Little Girls” is very catchy.

Immigration agents are coming to the Bay Area. Here’s how to protect yourself.

Federal immigration agents could be deployed to the Bay Area as early as Thursday. Consulting with attorneys and immigration advocates, Mission Local has compiled a list of know-your-rights tips for people in San Francisco. This is part of a series of resource guides we’ve run on immigration enforcement. Read the others below: “How can you mobilize for immigrant rights in S.F.?

Exterminate all rational AI scrapers, redux redux.

Nine months ago I added an infinite-nonsense honeypot to poison LLM scrapers.

Today, it comprises 69% of URLs served.

Normally it feeds junk after a few seconds delay, but in "high-load mode" it bans IPs. That mode starts when the free-worker count is low, and ends when it has been calm for 15 min.

This month it has been in high-load mode 50% of the time.

I think I'm going to stop boosting all Bluesky bridged accounts.

The authors want the audience of the fediverse but don't want to engage. That seems disrespectful to fedi posters.

I get that we all have only so much time. Still, a Bluesky-bridged account is a zombie account in my opinion. Why boost it?

Disclosure: I have no tattoos *specifically* because there's nothing I'm sure I would endorse having on me for life. The one exception would be if I lose my current wedding band, I lost two of them before this one, so Krissy had it engraved on the inside with THE NEXT ONE IS A TATTOO so I agree that if I lose this third one, a tattoo would be totally reasonable (also, I've managed to keep this one for 20 years, go me).

@quietmarc I'm not sure what the CEO actually does in any company.

The CEO at my current employer has changed like 3 or 4 times since I've been there and literally nothing has changed. It's actually weird anybody cares enough to change them out.
