Having been through the US immigration process (I got my first work visa more than 25 years ago and became a citizen in 2022), it's obvious to me that Americans have *no idea* how weird and tortuous their immigration system is:

A suburban house; on the law stand a couple, their backs to it, looking appreciatively upon it. On the lawn is a lawn-flag reading 'Chinga la migra' in ornate script, surrounded by butterflies and flowers. The flag is limned in red spokes.

진실화해위가 ‘중대한 인권침해'로 규정하고 재심을 권고한 과거사 사건의 재심 청구를 법원이 두 번째로 기각한 가운데, 재판부가 원심 자료를 확보하지 않고 기각 결정을 내린 것으로 나타났습니다. 이 재판부는 최근 김건희씨 1심에서 대다수 혐의에 대해 무죄를 선고한 서울중앙지법 형사합의27부(재판장 우인성)입니다.

A reminder, so people don’t forget. Substack unabashedly platforms and promotes literal Nazi publications.

If you publish on Substack or support authors there, you are paying rent for nazis. It’s that simple.

Refuse to support authors there, and they will move.

2023. November 28: The Atlantic publishes expose of Substack, citing their “nazi problem.” December 21: Substack co-founder Hamish McKenzie says nazis are welcome because he’s too fucking stupid to equate nazism with violence. Quote: “We don’t think that censorship (including through demonetizing publications) makes the problem go away. Our content guidelines do have narrowly defined proscriptions, including a clause that prohibits incitements to violence.”2025. July 28: Substack’s mobile app sends push notification promoting the nazi publication NatSocToday. July 28: Substack apologizes for glitch, but not for platforming nazis. Quote: “We have taken the relevant system offline, diagnosed the issue, and are making changes to ensure it doesn’t happen again.”2026. February 6, 2026: Substack is still platforming nazis. Including NatSocToday. Screenshot of a terminal command and results, showing that the nazi site is live as of February 6, 2026 at 6:56 GMT.

Out cold … in Sunrise, Florida, US, conservation officials are dealing with a spate of iguanas in torpor, handed in by residents who have found the reptiles immobilised by the cold. If temperatures drop low enough, iguanas will drop out of trees and stay immobile until they manage to warm up again.

Středa: Polsko se stalo první zemí, která zřídila vládní komisi pro vyšetřování případu Jeffreyho Epsteina. Dosud zveřejněné dokumenty totiž obsahují přes 1 000 dokumentů přímo souvisejících s Vladimirem Putinem a asi 9 000 dokumentů týkajících se Moskvy. FBI už dříve uvedla, že měla informace naznačující, že Jeffrey Epstein spravoval část majetku Vladimira Putina. Je známo, že Epstein archivoval všechny své zprávy, e-maily a dokumenty. Uchovával také videozáznamy a fotografický materiál. Nahrával a filmoval vlivné západní lídry – prezidenty, premiéry a šéfy velkých globálních korporací. Stále více komentátorů a odborníků proto naznačuje, že je velmi pravděpodobné, že se jednalo o předem připravenou operaci ruské KGB. Některé další evropské země taktéž zahájily vyšetřování vazeb Epsteina na politické elity ve vlastních řadách, ale primárně kvůli potenciálnímu obchodu s bílým masem a dalším zločinům. Ruská vlivová operace je ale čím dál pravděpodobnější a Polsko je tak první zemí, která se zaměřuje právě na ni. A také se stalo tohle facebook.com/dnesnaukrajine.cz:

Report: Israeli students pepper-sprayed & assaulted "Palestinian teachers & pupils in northern Israel on Wednesday, leaving more than a dozen people hospitalised."

"Attacks against Arab citizens, solely because they are Arabs, are becoming an everyday phenomenon. But a person is not born racist. The racist & inciting government bears the main responsibility."

A.I. is adept at replicating something that already exists, says A.I.Co, breathlessly. It's also very good at replicating parts of 3 books I co-wrote which were (allegedly) pirated as part of its training data. Funny, that. Ooh, inflate my bubble and rocket me to Mars, baby. anthropic.com/engineering/buil

Cementing sloths’ reputation as the cuddliest tree-dwelling mammals, this mother and baby sloth curl up together in an animal rescue centre in Costa Rica. Along with a male sloth, they were found in the Santa Elena hills of Nicoya, far outside their natural range, raising suspicions that they had been stolen as part of the illegal wildlife trade.

"Create something before deciding on a solution. If people attempt to start projects with a solution, define the problem and scope first. Agree on working on the problem without committing to the solution."
