I'm gonna log off for a while and shoot psychic energy at Metroids or something because I'm exhausted beyond belief with *people* at this point.

My parting thought for now: I've said for a long time that AI in general and LLMs in particular erode trust. Enclosure of culture only works if you can break trust, and that's precisely what slopware vendors have very effectively done.

"The man who pulled the trigger had been provoked, they said. It was not the killer who was a terrorist. It was the mom who had just dropped off one of her six-year-old at school.

These individual lies are part of the logic of death squads. A murderer can go free because the government controls the story. And then the next murder is all the easier. And suddenly this is normal & people simply disappear."

I'm reading now the history of the rise of Hugo Chavez in Venezuela (as depicted in the book "Comandante") and I cannot shake the feeling that his rise (and rule) are not that different from what emerging autocrats in the western world are doing (or trying to do) these days.

The tale & fate of Venezuela should be a cautionary tale for all of us... Let's see if we can learn from the mistakes of others or we'll be doomed to repeat them ourselves...

Both Ben Meiselas and Aaron Parnas have just reported that they have received from Alpha News footage from the cellphone camera of the ICE officer accused of killing Renee Good, Jonathan Ross.

photograph in linked article shows blood on a steering wheel

The first paragraphs of this article are big news (I think?? IANAL): the FBI tried to shut MN out of the investigation of ICE’s murder of Renee Good, which almost certainly is the start of a cover-up. Minnesota initially threw up its hands and said “well that sucks.”

Today we learn that Minnesota and Hennepin County are still gathering evidence themselves, apparently independently of the FBI. My hope is that this is in pursuit of state charges, in defiance of the Trump-controlled FBI.

Minnesota begins collecting evidence into ICE shooting following ousting by feds • Minnesota Reformer

Minnesota prosecutors are asking the public for evidence in the killing of a 37-year-old Minneapolis woman by an ICE agent on Wednesday after the Trump administration froze local law enforcement out of the investigation. “Every moment in these cases is precious,” said Attorney General Keith Ellison at a news conference in Minneapolis on Friday. “If […]

Exercise can be nearly as effective as therapy for depression

Link: sciencedaily.com/releases/2026
Discussion: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4

Scientists find exercise rivals therapy for depression

A large review of studies suggests that exercise can ease depression about as effectively as psychological therapy. Compared with antidepressants, exercise showed similar benefits, though the evidence was less certain. Researchers found that light to moderate activity over multiple sessions worked best, with few side effects. While it’s not a cure-all, exercise may be a powerful and accessible tool for many people.

a solid 20% of the reason for writing this article is my ongoing frustration that the people in power on my continent dont appear to understand how power is constructed
