At Largest ICE Detention Camp, Staff Bet on Detainee Suicides, AP Reports Camp East Montana has received several 911 calls in the span of five months about immigrants trying to harm themselves.

Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.

The FDA once warned clearly that fake autism β€œcures” like chlorine dioxide or raw camel milk are dangerous scams. Removing that advisory doesn’t protect patients; it protects misinformation. Public health agencies exist to confront quackery, not quietly clear the path for it.

A square graphic with the title "Pinnipeds". The subtext reads "Puppy-dog-eyed & semi-aquatic. These fin-footed critters, with a penchant for meat, are protected by the Marine Mammal Protection Act". Under that is a note "Be careful though, you're not protected from Seal finger". Then there are 2 sketched animals. One labelled "Seal Phocidae" and the other " Sea Lion Otariidae". The Seal is laying down and saying "grunt". Seal also has holes for ears and back flippers that are labelled "evidence of mermaid evolution". Below the seal is a pinned note that says "Galumphs, verb, clumsy undulation movement". 

On the other side, the Sea Lion is barking. Sea Lion also has their ears labelled as "flappy ears" and flippers labelled as "flippers double as legs"


At the bottom is a logo of an unlocked idea die along with the name Morsel UnLocked

Fun fact: If your dog had no legs and had the zoomies, they'd have to galumph, just like seals do.

A clusterfuck of a store map for Lowe’s home improvement store. There’s 72739405 aisles numbered and labeled in ways that are sorta helpful but also way to zoomed out

Do you know where I can grab a copy of a Lowe’s store map? I seem to only be able to look at this map when it’s tiny

I’m doing a thing, that I’m calling Mosel Unlocked, and this is just the start. I have big plans of this comic bEing akin to XKCD and Sketchplanations.
On the list:
host plants 🌱
keystone species
capital vs operating expenditure
4X πŸŽ²βœ‚οΈ
and anything else I can subvert or explain

Have you looked at @microcosm.bsky.social? This seems like something they’d be likely to have in their wheelhouse

Oh! I wonder if I could use alt text as a way to TDD my thing. That would force me to write up a plan from the beginning and keep me from dreading having to describe the image after it’s done.

This month, I am releasing a new thing that I have big hopes and dreams for. I’ve spent too much time thinking about it and not enough doing it. It doesn’t need to be perfect to be helpful. I need to get it out of my head and out there helping people

"No safeguards against AI coding hallucinations"

The AI was trained on the broken web and we ask it to fix the broken web.

OF COURSE IT DOESN'T KNOW HOW.

As the guy who wrote the book on zoning abolition, I'd like to go on record as saying: if you can use zoning to stop the concentration camps, fucking go for it.

Local zoning is the way! A lot of these are being stopped or stalled by neighborhood organizing.

These warehouses often need to be purchased, permitted, approved for occupancy and specs. Each one of those steps can be interrupted.

Ppl are pressuring corps not to sell, counties to deny permits, etc

"It's not artificial intelligence. It's African intelligence."

The reason RAM prices went up 4x is that a massive amount of not-yet-manufactured memory was bought with money that doesn't really exist to be put into GPUs that haven't been made yet, to be installed in data centers that haven't been built, powered by infrastructure that may never exist, to satisfy demand that isn't actually there, in order to generate profits that are mathematically impossible.
