This via @wdlindsyWilliam Lindsey :toad: deserves underlining:

The behavior you are seeing from ICE and from the Trump regime is the behavior of people who are scared.

Their bluster is fear. Their threats are fear. Their aggression is fear. Their defensiveness is fear. Their scrambling to keep their faces hidden and their actions secret is fear. Their desperate stream of liearrhea is fear. Their panic is fear.

They are acting tough, but they are not acting like people who are winning.

Keep them afraid.

"Despite the hateful language and tough-guy posturing, administration officials are running scared—as they should be. They know Renee Nicole Good was killed in an unjustified act of malice that supports the indictment and conviction of the ICE officer." ~ Robert B.

表現を仕事にする人が、歴史と政治を学んだ方がいい理由｜ウラケン・ボルボックス

絵を描く人、 文章を書く人、 音楽を届ける人、 動画を作る人、 演技をする人、 喋りで人を楽しませる人、 写真を撮る人、 踊る人、 人間はさまざまな表現をする。 そして、 「表現する」という行為は、それだけで社会と関わることになる。 表現がSNSと直結してる現代社会において、表現は、ただの自己発信ではない。歴史や政治と切り離された表現は、時に無意識の加害になる。だからこそ、描く前に知ること、奏でる前に学ぶことが求められる。自由に発信できる時代だからこそ、その自由を支える知識が必要になる。 表現には、メッセージを何倍にも増幅させる力がある。使い方を誤れば、差別の拡声器となって、無

day 8: A City. Create a generative metropolis.

This is just a bunch of agents random walking from the centre, increasing or decreasing the height of squares they pass through (min 0). The displayed height is the max that has been seen in that cell. The idea was that random walks touch cells near the centre more, so I should get flat sprawl around taller buildings. Written with .

⚠️ Update: has now been offline for 12 hours with national connectivity flatlining at ~1% of ordinary levels, after authorities imposed a nationwide internet blackout in an attempt to suppress sweeping protests while covering up reports of regime brutality 📉

Graph from NetBlocks showing network connectivity in Iran from January 1, 2025, to January 9, 2025. The y-axis represents normalized connectivity, ranging from 0% to 100%, and the x-axis represents the dates. The green line representing Iran's connectivity remains lower than normal most of the time period due to protests, with a sharp drop on the evening of January 8. The drop in connectivity aligns with protests across the nation. The minimum and current connectivity levels are indicated as 1% and 1%, respectively. The chart has a dark background with a red horizontal arrow labeled 'SHUTDOWN', indicates the period of disruption.

I managed to break Google TTS in a similar manner with a very long string of '88888888' on repeat, and had some fun making an ambient phonepunk spooky track out of it.

You should see: web.archive.org/web/2025010618

I broke Google TTS.

Content notice: Spooky audio, some possibly annoying binaural telephone noises. Mixed for stereo separation. Listen through headphones or a good room-size stereo monitor. Using psychoactive substances while listening is not a good idea whatsoever. I take no responsibility for you having such a bad trip. I uh, put the transcript of the call from "I broke IKEA" into Google TTS, including all the 8's I cut out from that audio (it was 2:24 before editing, just for comparison.) I was fighting with the API sometimes, it would 400 out because my "sentences" were "too long" or "produced too much audio", lol. Got some fun results, so I threw this together. Hope it turned out alright. Thanks to this post for the idea: https://cohost.org/SnepShark/post/5195186-real-i-broke-ikea [https://cohost.org/SnepShark/post/5195186-real-i-broke-ikea] For a transcript, see the original post, "I broke IKEA."

"And so we arrive at a debased mentality that refuses to recognize the humanity of others. This is why Good was denied medical assistance from a physician who observed the scene and came forth to help.

Good could not be seen as a life worth saving."

Renee Nicole Good, Enemy of the State

Authoritarians do not accept the democratic ideas of peaceful assembly or legal observation, and anyone can become an enemy of the state

"This is a blunt statement, but it is important to understand what we are dealing with. This is where dehumanization leads. It starts with those who are the targets of many autocrats, such as non-Whites, immigrants, Muslims, and members of the LGBTQ community, and extends in time to anyone who does not accept having their rights taken away and their free speech silenced."
