Donald Trump posted a video message on Truth Social that he originally issued on January 6, 2021,

as his supporters stormed the US Capitol building.

The message includes the president falsely stating that the 2020 election was
“stolen from us”
while instructing those at the Capitol to “go home in peace”.

It’s unclear why Trump posted the video,
which included no caption and came during a day of somber remembrances to mark the 25th anniversary of September 11

Chinook salmon have recolonised 88% of their historic range on the Klamath River, with more than 13,000 fish passing the old Iron Gate Dam site in 2025, up from 7,700 the year before.

A private company created a massive network of spy cameras across the country, which cops mostly use to stalk their ex-girlfriends.

This dystopia brought to you in part by America's unhinged reaction to 9/11.

US Politics please chill out. I already have more than enough hot takes about AI nonsense, in an area where I at least _putatively_ have some kind of actual expertise on which to base my analysis.

The amount of money Omarchy is getting is absolutely insane. The Python Foundation has an annual budget of around $5 million, the Apache Foundation around $3 million. Meanwhile a niche Linux distribution raised $18M in 20 days.

On Sept 11th, I think about Cindy Cohn's description of what it was like to come into work at EFF on September 12th, knowing that everything positive she had hoped to achieve was now on hold and we were in for several desperate years of playing defense.
