ICE hastily pressed thousands of poorly trained agents into service, anonymized them, gave them weapons, told them that protestors were evildoers, and shoved them into high pressure confrontations.
We *all* said that this was going to end with ICE openly murdering folks and it gives me no joy to be proven correct.

Please be aware that there are multiple videos circulating of the murder of the legal observer that happened today in Minneapolis. I don't think this is something worth watching even if i do think it's good that there is video evidence of this killing. be aware of what you are clicking, and disable autoplay where applicable.
please boost! 
Mario was recently detained by ICE and is being held at a detention center. He has a hearing on January 13th, and his lawyer is asking for $5,000 up front to represent him.

In light of today’s grim events in Minneapolis, as you hear officials try to assign blame, please take a moment to read this old post. Whole thread if you can, but at least this post:
The skill to cultivate with programming agents is to be able to build up your own confidence in your ability to verify that their output meets your bar. If you believe that you should not have to do that then it will be a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Hey everyone,
Gaza Verified is now open again for verification calls in 2026.
The new process for signing up for verification calls uses sign in with Mastodon and should remove the last remaining technical hurdle that was giving some of our friends in Gaza a hard time (adding the verification link to your Mastodon account is not intuitive in the current Mastodon interface). With this new flow, you won’t have to, we do it for you.
Also, please remember that Israel, USA, and Germany are continuing their genocide of the Palestinian people with the complicity of the UK and almost the entire rest of the EU.
And we can help, if only a little. And even if it’s just a drop in the ocean it’s still a meaningful drop for those it helps:

Digital sovereignty is becoming a key objective for societies and nations alike. Find out how digital public goods (DPGs), such as Mastodon, can help to build a decentralised internet and challenge big tech. In this joint talk at FOSS Backstage 2026, Lea Gimpel and 
@andypiper from DPGA & Mastodon unpack the concept, analyse EU policy and offer concrete strategies for achieving digital sovereignty.

Okay, whoever the fuck at cisco decided that ios-looking operating systems should no longer support "wr mem" in favor of "copy run start" should feel bad and have legos randomly scattered where they'll be barefoot at least a few times.
wr mem: easy to type. Unambiguous. Hard to fuck up. I've been using it since, what, 1994 or something so it's deeply ingrained muscle memory. And I never have to worry that I've somehow typed "copy start run" instead of "copy run start"

It’s the kind of day where I’ve eaten cold pizza and made French toast between calls because my brain is refusing to cooperate with my productivity demands. So I’m letting it win. For today. (Hopefully just today.)
Also, TIL how to make French toast. ☺️

Legal observer murdered by ICE in Minneapolis, video circulating a lot just so you know.
DHS is on the defensive trying to build a narrative to justify the shooting, but within the narrative: ⚠️ The DHS spokesperson confirms ICE shot and killed the victim in Minneapolis.

통일교 한학자 억대 횡령 자백, 검찰이 7년 뭉갰다

"종교법인 재산을 법조 로비 명목으로 건네는 행위는 박 씨가 실제 로비를 벌였는지 여부와 관계 없이 ‘업무상 횡령죄’로 처벌될 수 있다. 이민석 법률소비자연맹 사무총장(변호사)은 “법조 로비라는 부정한 명목으로 통일교 자금을 쓴 것은 종교법인의 목적사업으로 보기 어렵기 때문에 업무상 횡령죄가 될 수 있다”며 “업무상 횡령은 공소시효가 10년이니 공소시효도 남아있다”고 설명했다."
