Here’s a comment for the people who are upset that MN hasn’t charged Jonathan Ross already: If you just Leeeroy Jenkins this shit you will lose and you will empower fascism and murder. It is indescribably hard to prosecute cops for murder. It is even hard when the murder is ON VIDEO. /1

The Trump regime is acting like a cornered animal: aggressive, panicked, snarling and biting.

This makes them dangerous. It does not, however, make them victorious. Be clear on the difference.

Look, people, let’s stop being so judgmental about folks who stay on Twitter/X. There are fewer Nazis here, sure, but if a woman gets murdered by an ICE agent and you want to see her corpse in a bathing suit, where are you on Bluesky? Out of luck, that’s where.

This is the sort of video you ordinarily do whatever you can to keep a jury from seeing. And they put it out believing it makes him look good.

You do not need to watch the new footage -- I'm about to go brain scrub for five minutes, let's put it that way -- but you have got to be literally deranged with misogyny to think this makes the shooter look justified. Which explains why the Vice-President of the United States shared it.

I very much appreciated this essay by Sarah Jeong this morning. It's a reminder that reality and truth still matters, even in the face of blatant and brazen lies.

Somehow, Eugene, Evan, and Tim, the three biggest proponents of the interpolation, are pretty chill about all this.

This was supposed to be the future! But it's clear that we got played.

Eugene chalks it up to Meta's lawyers. Because you know how Meta is with the law. Straight as an arrow. Somehow the lawyers were cool with Meta's users on Mastodon, but not the other way around.

So Meta makes its as close to impossible for Threads users to see a Mastodon post, while Meta still enjoys all of our user data.

In exchange, Meta gets to advertise their content and users that we can't really interact with, and can't easily rely on for timely info unless we go directly to the treads app.

On Threads:

To see Mastodon posts, you must opt-in your settings.

The Mastodon posts feed is segregated from the FYP and following. You must go to feeds in a dropdown.

Your feed will be empty because you have to follow somone first. The problem is that Mastodon user profiles are not discoverable in threads. You have to hope someone linked to an account in a post.

A recap of the Threads / Mastodon interpolation:

On Mastodon (assuming no block):

You can see threads posts with a 15 minute delay of people or hashtags you follow in your main feed. You can comment back, but they can't comment or repost your comment.

Threads profiles show up in search as normal.

A Response to Tim Chambers’s 2026 Predictions:

"They [Meta] get to hoover up content from the Fediverse whilst keeping their users safely inside their walled garden. It’s extraction dressed up as interoperability."

Also, Threads posts on the Fediverse are now like little billboards for famous people saying– hey, come on over! https://islandinthenet.com/a-response-to-tim-chamberss-2026-predictions/

This is inaccurate. The torrent of lies began long before this. They are just adding to the torrent at this point.

As I read about people being harassed for using their cell phone cameras to document the cruelty of ICE raids or comments from assholes like Kristi Noem that doing so is somehow a criminal act, I’m reminded of something someone said when U.S. troops began liberating Nazi concentration camps in early 1945.

“Get it all on record now - get the films - get the witnesses -because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened.” - Dwight D. Eisenhower

Ten years ago, if someone had told me that tech policy bloggers would be calling for ICE to be abolished, I would have thought it very unlikely.

"Abolish ICE" is an increasingly mainstream and extremely correct position.

I might have asked this before, but one of these days I need to work on projects instead of just thinking. Does anyone know of "modern" robot hardware that is similar to the old tethered Turtle robots?

It makes sense that people who have completely abandoned their humanity want to replace humanity with software. The people pushing AI have no idea what art and music are.

They have no idea how a story can make a soul shiver and bend and laugh and weep.

They have no idea what it means to be truly human in this world, knowing that you are connected with all life.

They only want to replace humans with sickly, unthinking toys.
