💔Alex J. Pretti💔 age 37, of South #Minneapolis was gunned on in cold blood by #ICE thugs today. He was Brandishing his phone recording 🧊.

No criminal record. Worked for the VA as an ICU nurse. Legal gun owner. Homeowner. Upstanding member of his community. He was a hero in his career, and went out like a hero trying to protect the women the ICE officer pushed down.

A TRUE hero all around, he didn’t deserve this. RIP #AlexPretti

Just remembered the occasion when my Youngest child, then aged 8, asked if petrol was vegan.

Their logic was that if it was from the crushed up remains of animals and plants, then it shouldn't be. When a vegan told them that it was ok for a vegan to use petrol they asked how long something had to be dead for before it stopped counting as animal matter.

I would just like to state for the record that the original question was posed before I had drunk any coffee at all and was what instigated the "no questions before coffee" rule.

It’s remarkable how quickly the “everyone shall be armed” Second Amendment Republicans use the fact that a beaten, defenseless man lying on the ground was (maybe) armed as justification for federal agents to execute him.

ICE murders again just days after Congress funds this rogue militia. “Abolish ICE” is now a mainstream political issue. I’m seeing more liberals call for it by the day. Better a decade late than never.

Who does our elected politicians work for?

Hey. While I'm giving y'all the whole "Black people experience this every day, it's not new for us," let me give you one more important Black nugget of info:

"You don't have to watch the video."

Seriously. You don't.

Your life won't be improved by seeing it. Especially if you already oppose ICE.

Seeing lots of variations of we should abolish “Trump’s ICE” or “this kind of ICE” from elected representatives. No, the whole concept is bogus. It was always based on propaganda about immigration. It’s an authoritarian dream based on a fiction. Abolish ICE and fix our foreign policy.

#darktable, where have you been all my life?
Teasing something out of nothing is such a joy. Similar excitement to being in a darkroom, aged 14.

I won't lie, was a bit intimidating at first. But so liberating when all its parts sing in harmony. So much better than the clown show of Adobe 'magic' sliders and instant gratification.

Bravo developers. We salute you.

@fromjason there are undoubtedly more. Multiple people disappeared from the system with no evidence they were deported, you just couldn't look up what facility they were in anymore. We have no clue how many lives have been taken. We probably won't know for years.

This is gross, and just shows that these companies will use whatever content sources they can without accounting for quality or veracity of the information.

If your current personal AI boundary includes ChatGPT and excludes Grok because the latter is literal fascist tech, you can no longer use ChatGPT with any moral confidence.

A workaround to delete your #TikTok account without accepting the new TOS.

1. Turn off your phones wifi/data

2. Open app and click settings

3. Go to account page

4. Turn wifi back on

5. Delete account

The TOS popup won't appear when the internet is off. Being on the account tab prevents it.

While looking for the source for the recent ICE murder in Minnesota, I came across another murder just a couple days ago.

It's happening so much we're not even catching them all.

Not sure how many of you use ChatGTP, but you might want to scale back.

"The latest model of ChatGPT has begun to cite Elon Musk’s Grokipedia as a source on a wide range of queries, including on Iranian conglomerates and Holocaust deniers, raising concerns about misinformation on the platform.

In tests done by the Guardian, GPT-5.2 cited Grokipedia nine times in response to more than a dozen different questions."
