Many people and institutions that fight back are winning.
This is a large part of the reason to scorn the people and institutions that have caved. When this is over their lives should be made miserable. More, I mean.
ITYM "observation"
Hi everyone
I was denied entry, detained, and deported from the USA over the last 48 hours because of my reporting on the Columbia student protests
I arrived back in Melbourne hours ago and had my phone handed back to me upon landing
Getting old is like, "sorry, you've accidentally lived long enough to be useless to genetic progression so evolution no longer cares whether your various parts work or not. Congratulations on not getting stomped by a mammoth"
Okay, this is my newest very very favorite meme.
The distance between a legal resident who's not a citizen being deported without due process and a citizen being deported without due process is a hell of a lot shorter than many folks seem to believe, and when it does happen to a citizen, just remember it started here and who was quiet in response.
Oh it’s okay, they’re dead to me as a company lol. Had a whole discussion with a support rep who wouldn’t accept a Delaware Cert as being valid and a chase statement that didn’t have the right address( and there’s no way for me to know what address they have?)
So I’m done with them
I own a company as a side hustle. My company is growing. It's a registered Delaware C-Corp, I have a corp bank account, a CPA, insurance, pay thousands a year for IT infra, my product services cities with millions of people.
#Indeed refuses to believe I'm a real company. I am done with them.
More of this, please. (And especially from white men, not just people of color!)
I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.
18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.
We made this website to tell our story:

Thanks, I really appreciate the offer. I actually ordered a variety pack similar to yours - I didn’t know they existed until yesterday when someone else mentioned them. It’s such a cool idea. I’ll let you know what I end up going with. Thanks again!
Another extraordinary exchange just now about "animus" in the court hearing on trasngender members of the military:
Hey fellow people who shave,
I am looking for safety razor blade suggestions. I finally ran out of a bulk box that I bought 10+ years ago and now I need more. What do you buy, if you use safety razors?
That feeling when you wonder if you blew a speaker, but then you realize that you're listening to Lofi
Most people are probably well past this, but I just published a pretty simple AI playground kind of thing, based around Open-WebUI, backed by LiteLLM, Ollama, and SearXNG:

Maybe it will be useful for some people?
Goddamnit. Okay. I’ll give it a shot. Thanks!
Paying for my search engine feels weird, for sure. You feel like the quality is worth it?
I'm way less enamored by DuckDuckGo than I used to be
Unreal. The US government is dumping Asian and African families and children in random countries that they have no connection to. Dumping, not "deporting." Deportation implies the return of a person to their home country. This is treating people like toxic waste.

Me: BATMAN BEGINS is great, but I was amused by the writers’-fiat plot device that a place can be SO corrupt that some reasonably-organized foreign actor can just puppeteer it on a whim.
Me, 20 years later: fuck
Oooh gotcha, sorry, I misinterpreted. Thanks!
One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!
Wait, no biometric? Are you saying the Secure Enclave is compromised?

In case there's any doubt, let CULT OF THE DEAD COW clear this up for you: This is hacktivism.
Is…is that salad dressing.
Hank, what are you doing?
Every time I see the cover art for The Fat of the Land, I think, "Wait, did The Prodigy do Crab Rave?"
