I parked my car on the street, and we're supposed to pay for the street parking on some website, but the website is returning error code 508.

Reflect Orbital wants to destroy the night sky to deliver "sunlight as a service". SpaceX wants to destroy Low Earth Orbit to launch one million "AI datacentres"
The only way to formally protest these two ideas is to file a comment with the US FCC, which is horribly complicated, but the American Astronomical Society has detailed instructions posted here: https://aas.org/posts/advocacy/2026/02/how-submit-comments-satellite-applications-fcc
Comments due March 6 for SpaceX and March 9 for Reflect Orbital. Write! Write! Write!

When all these people act like this Epstein Files problem is too big, and there's no way we could possibly round up, and prosecute all the people in them, remember, in the last year around 400,000 people have been arrested by ICE.
This isn't a Witch Hunt, it's a Rapist Hunt.
It's not because your agent can do something with 12 tool calls and 20k tokens that it should.
For example, #Obsidian CLI has a command called "orphans" that finds files with no incoming links.
Now your agent can get a deterministic answer in 1 millisecond instead of 4 minutes.
i absolutely hate how social media websites have all turned into magical mystery meat apps where if you click a button, half the page vanishes forever and you can't find it again
normal websites do not behave this way, please stop ruining the web

Human and sex trafficking are real problems but the US response has largely been to protect men like Epstein or Robert Kraft while prosecuting and making life more dangerous for sex workers.
It's also used to drum up support for racist closed borders and anti-immigration policies even though it's migrants, not US citizens, who are the most frequent victims and blocking asylum seekers puts them at heightened risk.

It's also used to drum up support for racist closed borders and anti-immigration policies even though it's migrants, not US citizens, who are the most frequent victims and blocking asylum seekers puts them at heightened risk.
And as I mentioned earlier, virtually every anti-trafficking initiative in the US has served to further enlarge police budgets, expand surveillance, and encourage lawless behavior on the part of various law enforcement groups.
