Good morning friends.

Hey, did you know that you are worthy of love? Like, every ding dang day!

Up days. Down days. On top of the world days and in the gutter days.

👉 You are worthy of love 👈

"I have seen the machinery of Catholic extremism from within: the obedience enforced by silence, the power concealed behind a veneer of tradition, and the vast financial and political networks that have made groups like Opus Dei the architects of our current political crisis.

Opus Dei is not just a conservative spiritual community, it is an anti-democratic, authoritarian cult embedded deep within the Church and American public life."

"In California the bishop of San Bernardino, Alberto Rojas, yesterday lifted the obligation for Catholics to attend Sunday Mass [because of concerns that ICE now snatches people in churches or on church grounds]. In the nearby Diocese of Orange, priests are now celebrating Mass in people’s homes in order to protect them from ICE."

Sometimes I go on #twitter, whenever some cultural event happens that #Mastodon doesn't talk about.

And man, that place is getting worse, if you can believe it. I can't imagine spending any real time there.

So my town is being raided by ICE and the National Guard right now. They blockaded a whole street and abducted everyone at a farm. All this shit is happening blocks from where my mom lives and she’s afraid to leave the house. I don’t blame her.

One of my coworkers was telling me how heartbroken she is. I told her regardless of what we do, we have to make sure we never forget. I certainly won’t.

I had a private conversation with a security researcher who looked into a very similar incident, and while it’s hard to say that my traffic is caused by Mellowtel or something else, there’s a very high likelihood that this is, indeed, a web crawling network, most likely for LLMs. I hate this timeline.

Unrelated, I have a strong urge to set something on fire.

“…the prime minister was forced to choose between the chance of a truce and his political survival — and Netanyahu opted for survival.”

if you ever wonder why I weep at continued US aid keeping this cynical monster in power, read a chronology of recent events.

everyone deserves a homeland and some peace, just because they are human. nobody should be above the law in any civilized society.

"Trapping AI" – Operational Progress! 🕳️

Following the last update (https://tldr.nettime.org/@asrg/114742667183459482), we’re transitioning from planning to practice — amplifying both the scale and operational ferocity of our approach through the deployment of a new, more radically interventionist layer of complexity.

This intensified escalation — as outlined in the last update — is concretized in fakejpeg, which is now fully live and operational. From this point onward, every page generated by our standalone LLM crawler-tarpit embeds a garbage JPEG. Notably, within just a few hours of operation, this deployment has already yielded over 40,000 such images.

The integration of fakejpeg constitutes a critical deepening layer that amplifies both the strategic offensiveness and subversive ardor of our approach by enabling the ongoing targeted poisoning and coordinated dissemination of systematically crafted junk data within the operational workflows of AI systems.

fakejpeg repo: https://github.com/gw1urf/fakejpeg

I never understood why so many men associate with imagery of predatory animals.

My idealized version of my own masculinity is best represented by a tree. Patient. Immensely endurant. Self-sufficient. Unbothered by trivial, ephemereal affairs. Innately kind to the world around it.

I don't want to be a lion or a wolf or a shark, I want to be an ancient oak whose branches have sheltered countless birds and squirrels.
