My favorite thing about Jack Dorsey how every iteration of his look is different genre of college campus drug dealer

Today is my book birthday! This book on California amphibians was utter joy to work on from start to finish. I hope it is half as much fun to read as it was to write.

Amazing video from @techconnectify.bsky.social on the economics of our green energy revolution.

The best part is post-credits: his incredibly clear view of fascism in the US and those responsible.

Consider whether you really need that app on your phone. You probably don’t! Third party apps leak a ton of data and we know people get tracked that way. If you don’t need it, delete it

For the apps you do need, go through their privacy settings & turn location services to never or only when using

THE DILDO DISTRIBUTION DELEGATION The revolution did not arrive with speeches, pamphlets, or a carefully moderated Zoom call about optics.

"“I’m going to hand out big dicks to little-dick ICE agents.”

The Geneva Convention disintegrated. The Founding Fathers wept. Somewhere, a federal HR manager clutched their chest and whispered, “No. Not like this.”"

Fucking dying lmaoooo

The news about people losing their eyes to less lethal rounds is a good time to remind people to buy goggles if you are going to a protest. Look for ones with an impact-resistant rating of ANSI Z87+ High-velocity impact rating or ANSI Z87.1+ High-velocity impact rating. Ideally, rubber not foam seal

The tool uses commercially sourced location data from smartphones. Typically this is collected through code in normal apps, or the online advertising process. Data then provided to ICE via the Webloc tool where users can search specific areas for phones www.404media.co/inside-ices-...

Better yet, disestablish all of DHS, and undo the nightmarish idiocies that we created in a panic 25 years ago. Reestablish the INS, get rid of ODNI, fix the damage from the Patriot Act, etc.

This seems right to me. I have an ERV integrated with a CO2 monitor and home assistant. It’s great, but I think fiddling around in the single percentage points compared to just the vent fan controlled by CO2.

This was one for the books! BART supporters came from around the Bay Area to Rockridge Station to celebrate the holidays at SweaterFest.

The lively energy filled the Rockridge Plaza with cheer. We crafted, danced, sang, took rides in the BARTmobile and snapped tons of pictures. It was a blast!

The other night I was driving in pouring rain, fully dark, and the car randomly lost GPS.
No location. No navigation.
Which also meant no FSD.
I tried two software resets while driving just to get GPS back. Nothing worked. So there I was, manually driving in terrible conditions, unsure of positioning, no assistance, no guidance.
And it genuinely felt unsafe. For me and for the people in the car.
Then it hit me.
This feeling - the stress, the uncertainty, the margin for error - this is how most drivers feel every single day.
No FSD. No constant awareness. No backup.
We've normalised danger so much that we only notice it when the safety net disappears.

So true. I couldn't imagine trying to figure things out myself anymore
I feel it every time I have to take over to take a separate entrance or find an area different from the exact pin at a destination. 12.6.4 does 98% of my driving but that last 2% is tough
I couldn't imagine also being without GPS

Don't mistake incompetence for accident. The degradation of your social media feed, the collapse of your news, the defunding of your school—it is all functional.

They are happy to rule over the ashes, as long as they are the ones holding the match.

How Democrats’ Attack On Section 230 Plays Right Into Trump’s Censorial Plans Like clockwork, lawmakers are once again rallying around the idea of eliminating Section 230. That Republicans are leading this charge is hardly surprising—repealing Section 230 is explicitly laid …

And finally, the assault on Section 230. This is the endgame for independent speech.

If you repeal 230, you don’t hurt Google or Meta—they have the lawyers to survive. You destroy the small forums, the independent blogs, the dissenters. You make the cost of speaking the truth too high to bear.

Last year, rain forced the annual Los Osos/Baywood Park Christmas parade to be canceled. This year, however, calm winds and overcast skies provided a beautiful backdrop for “A Beary Merry Holiday" celebration. A shout-out to Ted for creating a 9-foot bear for the Rotary Club of Los Osos float! 🎄
