OK, so. As if the Trump regime hadn’t already dumped enough of their shit on us here in Minneapolis…there’s now talk about them sending •active duty military• to invade (“protect”) our city.

Maybe this is bluster. Maybe this is testing the waters. We have no idea how real these plans are, or if or when this would actually happen. I don’t think the regime does either. Regardless, we take this threat seriously: they’re stupid enough they just might do it. This nightmare could get worse.

🔭제임스웹으로 더 자세히 들여다본 신의 눈

제임스웹 우주망권경이 근적외선으로 매어 자세하게 촬영한 헬릭스 성운 사진 공개👁️

자세히 보면 선배 망원경은 놓친 혜성 꼬리같은 작은 기둥들과 겹겹이 쌓인 가스층이 아주 자세히 보입니다.

헬릭스 성운은 태양같은 별들이 생을 마감하기 전 외부 물질을 우주로 흘려보낸 결과로 형성된 행성상 성운(planetary nebula)이며, 야구50억년 뒤 우리의 태양이 어떻게 죽어갈지 이해하는 데 도움이 된다고.

…미리 보는 ‘멸망’이 썩 달갑진 않지만🥲
가끔은, 머스크도 주장하는 ‘시뮬레이션 우주론’의 증거가 아닐까 싶기도ㅎㅎ

사진 2~4: 다른 망원경과의 비교-
기존 허블, 스피처 망원경 사진과 비교해보면, 제임스웹이 얼마나 상세히 촬영했는지 실감이 납니다🫢

머스크하고 샘 알트먼이 싸움. "챗GPT는 정신적으로 해로우니 사랑하는 사람들이 못 쓰게 해라" vs 테슬라의 오토파일럿으로 50명 이상이 죽었다면서요? 무서워라.. 둘 다 맞는 말하는 것 같은데.

RE: infosec.exchange/@Em0nM4stodon

I’m reading Roxane Gay’s “Bad Feminist.” She has some meaningful perspectives on privilege:

“We need to get to a place where we discuss privilege by way of observation and acknowledgement rather than accusation.”

This is powerful framing that might help privileged folks understand/accept their privilege, rather than be defensive about it. That the guilt/shame is something that stands in the way of progress.

What @n1xnxSteve Hersey says is what a lot of us have been lamenting since the ICE invasion started. Shouldn’t local police protect citizens from ICE?? Why this hasn’t happened is a really good question. Factors to consider:

- “Obstructing a federal agent” is illegal, and local police / politicians feel constrained by that (even if the agents themselves don’t seem constrained by the actual law at all, only by what they think they can get away with)

- Police can in theory cite federal agents for e.g. traffic violations or illegal plate swapping after the fact, as long as they’re not “obstructing” the agents — but how do you cite a masked person with fake plates who refuses to give ID?

- Some police are visibly supportive of ICE, chumming it up with them and giving literal fist bumps; a nontrivial subset are outright closet Nazis. A lot of people don’t really see any need to go past “ACAB” as a full explanation for all of this — and certainly The ACAB Hypothesis is…um, not really being proved false right now in Minneapolis.

- I think some police quietly resent ICE for stepping on their turf, but that does not seem to have boiled up into actual confrontation in MSP. One police leader here painted it in early Dec as “some people want to instigate a confrontation between Minneapolis Police, and that’s not going to happen.” Police culture says that police should be a neutral party in a dispute between ICE and residents, and actually protecting residents would be taking sides. (Duh, yes, taking sides that way is your literal job, you dumbasses…but I digress.)

- Some police (especially leadership) really want to get on the community’s good side after the murder of George Floyd, and see this as an opportunity, but unfortunately this has materialized entirely as non-interventionist support: “We responded to a 911 call and help a distressed resident after her husband was abducted!” “We transported children left parentless on the streets by ICE safely back to their home!” “Our officers volunteered at the food shelf!” OK, nice, good for you buddy.

So yeah, I’m wondering this too, and am bitter about it. tilde.zone/@n1xnx/115928447564
