@heidilifeldman Taggers need to get busy covering every surface in Portland with Epstein in clear legible letters. Make sure he can't use a single image of this nonsense.

Florida is now an open-carry state. You can carry a gun — and even brandish it — almost anywhere except these places. Naturally, the Florida Legislature and the Governor’s mansion are out of bounds. What a shoq, eh?

Barely a week goes by without me using a device that requires WebUSB or WebSerial to use a web based flashing or configuration tool.

I am literally not exaggerating. Apple and Mozilla need to wake up and get on board. The privacy and security arguments against implementing these APIs are complete bullshit when you consider the alternative right now is installing a random executable native app from a small hardware vendor that likely doesn't even have signed binaries.

Rebecca Solnit comments on Trump's attack on Portland, Oregon"

"This is as malevolent as it is ridiculous, this threat to invade Portland militarily. It's striking that witht this administration, the more extreme it becomes, the more unpopular it becomes, but the more unpopular it becomes the more extreme it becomes."

This captures much of the frustration of today.

The image is an X post by @RealJakeBroe from 7 hours ago, featuring a two-panel comic. The top panel shows a scientist pointing to a chart with a general trend and an outlier, illustrating a rational argument. The bottom panel depicts a person labeled "ANTI VAX" pointing to a similar chart, labeling it "CONSPIRACY THEORY" with "Lies" and an outlier called "IRREFUTABLE PROOF!!!", satirizing irrational arguments. The caption reads, "It is difficult to win an argument with a smart person. It is impossible to win an argument with an idiot."

Teaching students from both fields, linguistics and engineering—separately, no shared courses—I witness two kinds of growing resistance towards the use of #GenAI:

- low quality output needs too much effort to fix manually
- low quality output is not worth the high amounts of energy it costs

Future linguists argue with efficiency, future engineers with resources. Ethics comes much later, but is a shared concern. Anyway, I see justified refusal

Trump’s rhetoric — his constant talk of 'animals,' 'invasions,' and 'vermin' — isn’t some sideshow. It’s the main event. And his disciples repeat it like gospel. …

The scariest part? We are nowhere near the bottom. As Trump continues to lash out — at immigrants, at the courts, at the media — the permission structure grows stronger."

A few Mayor Lurie-themed stickers spotted in the Mission. Lurie is the Mayor of San Francisco who frequently posts videos promoting brands like Labubu, Waymo, and Coinbase on social media, but hasn't said a word about the ICE raids and kidnappings in the city. #WhereIsMayorLurie #SFGraffiti #Graffiti

A white sticker on a street post. The sticker says "Trump's using ICE to terrorize our city. Where is Mayor Lurie? #WhereIsMayorLurie" and it has a photo of Daniel Lurie with dotted lines drawn around him, as if you can cut out the image.
A sticker that says "Where is Mayor Lurie" and shows a photo of Daniel Lurie.
Several polical stickers on a post. One shows a photo of Daniel Lurie and Donald Trump with text that says "Lurie is a billionaire who based his campaign around being a businessman rather than politician. Who else did that?"  Another sticker says "Get high, Don't Die, Fuck Daniel Lurie."  The stickers are white text on black background and all stuck on a street sign post on Valencia St in San Francisco.
