Folks in Minneapolis are setting up 'block party' style traffic blockades in order to prevent ICE from brutalizing and murdering people.

Check out their account on BlueSky (does not require log-in). Look here: https://bsky.app/profile/minneapolis-spring.bsky.social

"Twin Cities rapid responders have set up a "filter blockade" at 34th and Cedar and are calling for volunteers and donations. This is a new tactic developing over the last week: community is allowed to pass, but ICE agents are stopped/slowed before they can terrorize our neighbors.

These blockades are a beautiful experiment in improvised community defense. They are easy to start with just a couple friends, and whatever you have lying around.

Let's make the Twin Cities impassible to ICE and all supporting forces."

I’m predisposed to dislike it as I genuinely dislike most Icelandic comedy, but the preview of Taskmaster Iceland looks like a Temu version of the original

Given the state of Icelandic improv comedy I fully expect it to be unwatchable

But, ý’know, I’m prejudiced

Billionaires, man. Greedy motherfuckers.

Brin is worth $266B. A one-time 5% billionaire tax (with the money going to healthcare!) would mean he's left with... $242B. Which that year's rate of growth would trivially earn him back. But he just can't.

You can do a 99% one-time billionaire tax and he'd be left with *2.6 billion dollars.

CA has maybe 200 billionaires in a population of ~40 million. Talk about the richest 0.0005%. Greedy motherfuckers.

Because a LOT of people are missing the point:

No, Elon Musk is NOT serious about putting a million data centres into orbit. It can't work: laws of physics say "nope".

But SpaceX is expected to go public this year.

Elon is talking up his company's future prospects in front of gullible investors because he needs a growth narrative beyond Starlink, which is already priced in. Something to justify the Starship proram beyond NASA's lunar ambitions.

So it's salesman's bullshit, lies for fools.

Ep 301 of Leverage Redemption S3 had a villa in France full of evil billionaires colluding to pillage trillions in public goods who were keeping a small town activist in the basement until they could execute her led by a guy who admired Putin, and we did not, in fact, go hard enough. Apologies.

PSA: I don't know if it will do any good, but I have just learned that "reportphishing@apple.com" exists, in case you also are getting a ton of "testing invites" like "OpenAI GPT Advertising, LLC. has invited you to test OpenAI GPT". They come from throw-away domains but the links are to Apple.

@fromjason I've been eager to read this but buried in so many other half-read books I already own.

Glad it's making the wheels turn. Much like David Graeber's Bullshit Jobs, just the title alone has had a cultural impact.

I can't recall ever feeling so connected to a book as this one. I have to take breaks from reading it because the wheels are turning so fast in my mind.

Watching tech content like the MKBHD podcast is trippy. It's like they live in an entirely different world than the rest of us.

While I do believe that anyone with a platform should be speaking out on our government's atrocities, I think shaming them for not is a net negative.

But it does make me wonder if there's a threshold. Is there a certain number of deaths that must occur before they speak out, or is it possible to podcast through an entire genocide and never mention it?
