This LEGO Artist Builds Masterpieces Using All Black Bricks | Obsessed | WIRED YouTube video by WIRED

I love Lego art/sculptures, and I think centering Black characters, stories, and history through the lens of sci-fi is also very cool.

And using all black Lego bricks? …aesthetic™️

I don’t disagree with your general point in GitFlow, but Sequence Diagrams (one of the few actually useful legacy of UML) actually flow from top to bottom.
And also in BlueSky, time goes up in the main timeline, but goes down when you focus on a thread.

For ICE to build concentration camps quickly, they're leaning on this Dept. of War program WEXMAC TITUS helps contractors bypass the traditionally lengthy government contract bidding process

NEW — An obscure Navy contractor program is making Trump’s plans to quickly build out and supply immigrant concentration camps around the country a reality.

Here I explain WEXMAC TITUS, an acronym you need to understand:

This is awesome. Hope to see some of them competing in Hawaiʻi in the future.

"Stay out of politics" is almost always an authoritarian statement. It attempts to shut down public debate (a cornerstone of democracy) in favour of the person making the demand.

Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude

If you have ever struggled with a server whose bios won't netboot because there's a misconfiguration on the switch, or the Ethernet cable is not coded right for the speed of the server's card (because your vendor silently "upgraded" you to 25 Gbit because they were out of 10 Gbit cards), and then when it does boot, it is thermally throttled because it's tiny fans happen to be blowing in the one spot where your electrician tied a bundle of electric cables 10 cm thick, and then once you get the thermal throttling problem solved, you find out your version of IPMItool is incompatible with some stupid extension your server vendor defaulted to "on",, then you might understand why Oxide is a good deal. If you idea of installing a server is "terraform", you're not going to get it.

this guy gets it

The sample based video is awesome.

Queste donne hanno un coraggio ed una forza incredibili.
E l’amore per il loro paese che trasuda da ogni loro iniziativa è ammirevole, seppur incomprensibile dal mio punto di vista, visto tutto quello che hanno subito.

Congratulations, major achievement unlocked. Only step up is the beast with POTUS in or the Pope mobile.

Gen Xers grew up when we could rely on community via institutions like scouting, church, PTA, Rotary, etc... but we saw all that melt away after the Reagan era. Now we have to rebuild without the institutions, many of which turned out to be hopelessly corrupt. Minnesota is showing us how.

The only good thing that has happened in the last year is that we all got a harsh but necessary lesson that resilience doesn't come from having an INDIVIDUALLY awesome resume. It comes from living in communities, where you "pay in" when you can and "make a withdrawal" when you need to.

every epstein file drop underscores how elite power operates through shared socio-economic networks, regardless of people's ideological differences, populist posturing, or public feuds

Italy: Cutro shipwreck trial an opportunity to shine a light on government ‘failures and reckless’ decisions 94 people, including 34 children, drowned in Italian waters in Cutro shipwreck

🚨 In Italy, the Cutro shipwreck trial began. This is a chance to expose not just 6 officers, but the EU's & Italy's deadly border policies that let 94 people drown. We demand justice & a European search and rescue program!

Negli Stati Uniti come in Europa le politiche migratorie rivelano il volto autoritario delle democrazie liberali.

I think about this tweet all the time

Canadians horrified by what ICE is doing should realize the RCMP uses the same tactics domestically against Indigenous people and yet barely anyone speaks up.

Journalists have been arrested just for trying to cover it

Today I’m announcing and open-sourcing the Bombadil project — a brand new property-based browser testing framework.

A reminder that there are only two days left to see John Akomfrah’s The “Hour of the Dog” at the @artbma.bsky.social. His stunning film installation features many of mugshots of young - very young - activists who were arrested during the Civil Rights Movement.

Mugshots can reverse the narrative.

Social media as state media Silicon Valley was once viewed as a tool for liberation. Now, from blocking apps to banning groups, it is helping the White House suppress dissent.

Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3.

Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.
