My niece showed up for work in Minneapolis and saw this sign on their front door. She said lots of businesses have these up in their windows.

Minneapolis continues to show us how it’s done. ✊🏻

We need to stand up in solidarity. Ask your employer if you can have a walk-out or protest day, and let the world know.

The flyer reads “everyone is welcome here except ice. We have the right to deny ice access to private areas without a judicial warrant. We assert our constitutional rights, which apply to everyone in this country, regardless of immigration status, in this establishment. Members of our community are safe here. Any form of harassment of guests or staff will not be tolerated.”

Hootsuite signing a contract with ICE in this environment is profoundly shameful.

They know very well their social media monitoring tools will be misused to attempt to punish ICE's targets and citizen protestors.

We deleted our account with them, others should too!

Hootsuite CEO says ICE contract will stand as long as agency honours terms and conditions

JuiceSSH - Give me my pro features back

JuiceSSH used to be the best SSH client available on Android until December 2025. Since then, the purchase made in 2019 is not recognized anymore, and the price went up by 20$. Some users complain in review that after buying it again, the application doesn't get activated. Support is unresponsive,

I despise how security updates are
bundled with feature updates.

Now we have to choose between risking getting malware from random criminal gangs when refusing to update, or getting embedded malware from the tech company itself that comes with their update.

And honestly at this point, I'm not sure which is worse.

NY Times Opinion asked a linguist about the "return" of the R-word word in the video.

Not a single disabled person in that video.

They used the r-word repeatedly in it.

Then said this is "interesting" given that now Trump seems to now have some "cognitive challenges" (their words).

En terwijl iedereen druk was met Venezuela en Groenland is in Kyiv een tipping point bereikt. 500.000+ mensen hebben de stad verlaten. Alles ligt plat.

Hou op met zo tevreden zijn over wat we allemaal bereikt hebben voor Oekraïne. Het enige wat er toe doet is of het genoeg is. VS hebben we nodig voor onze eigen verdediging, fine, maar de beste manier om te voorkomen dat het überhaupt nodig is is om te voorkomen dat de Russen winnen in Oekraïne.

Doe wat nodig is!!

Democracy dies when dissent is silenced by force. Billionaires & corporations are trying to take control of our rights and freedoms.⁣⁣

Our answer is a moral compass that points beyond the self.

To dignity, cooperation, and peace.

It will take all of us to break through the fear and noise, to demand a better path from leaders. We support those who have been bravely and peacefully demonstrating in the face of state-sanctioned violence. ⁣We’ve fought and won before, we can fight and win again.

The Brain: The Story of You by David Eagleman, 2015

Locked in the silence and darkness of your skull, your brain fashions the rich narratives of your reality and your identity. Join renowned neuroscientist David Eagleman for a journey into the questions at the mysterious heart of our existence. What is reality? Who are "you"? How do you make decisions? Why does your brain need other people?



How is technology poised to change what it means to be human? In the course of his investigations, Eagleman guides us through the world of extreme sports, criminal justice, facial expressions, genocide, brain surgery, gut feelings, robotics, and the search for immortality. Strap in for a whistle-stop tour into the inner cosmos. In the infinitely dense tangle of billions of brain cells and their trillions of connections, something emerges that you might not have expected to see in there: you. This is the story of how your life shapes your brain, and how your brain shapes your life. (A companion to the six-part PBS series. Color illustrations throughout.)

Remember that the violence and brutality of ICE is outrageous, but it's not the only problem with the administration's immigration enforcement surge. It started out being about the "worst of the worst" (violent criminals), then quickly morphed to include anyone found with a status violation. But now they're CREATING status violations by mass revoking visas (especially of asylum seekers).

Many of the people being targeted and detained followed all the rules and committed no crimes or violations.
