🚨 PSA: Journalists in Gaza are being targetted to prevent reporting on a UN-acknowledged program of genocide.

If you are an IDF member with information that could save lives and bring the war to a close, consider sharing it with the press safely via @securedrop:

The enormous elephant in the room regarding the increasing demands on our electricity grid is simply this: we don't actually _need_ AI. It's not in any way a public need for public good. It's a private and public want. If you turned off every major GAI tomorrow nothing would demonstrably change except for our power consumption would go down and nvidia's stock would crash.

Illinois Governor Pritzker officially calling for the 25th Amendment to be invoked in response to Trump suggesting Chicago and other US cities be used as “military training grounds”.

Honestly, it should have been invoked months ago.

If other Governors and elected officials want to save democracy, they should stand with Pritzker.

They can’t invoke it themselves, but public pressure works.

Keep up the pressure.
Remove the dictator.

I'm waiting for Sora 3 where it makes your phone squirt out a piece of real human shit into your hand.

I live in a town of 600 people in the middle of nowhere. There's an on-going embezzlement scandal at the school (it's a combination primary and high school) that everyone is talking about, especially since THE FBI SHOWED UP to investigate. I have a suspicion whatever was going on may have been a wee bit bigger than some missing funds at our school.

Yikes...but also pass the popcorn.

ALERT: A bill empowering Congress to censor information about its members on the internet has unfortunately passed the Senate.

But it's not too late to stop it.

Use our new, easy action center tool to tell the House not to sacrifice transparency for a false sense of security.

I'm exploring new positions at open-source-y companies that align with my values.

I'm a technically minded creative, a persuasive writer, and marketing specialist with eleven years of video production experience. I'm also a frontend (JS, HTML, CSS) and PHP developer with MongoDB experience.

My YouTube & technical expertise helped Linode reach 1m subscribers.

My unique skillset would make me an asset to any technical sales, documentation, or video production team.

The Danish Presidency is pushing a dangerous proposal in the EU that would allow the government to scan all our private communications. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/09/chat-control-back-menu-eu-it-still-must-be-stopped-0

There are three tickets left for DevFest in Melbourne, where I'm running an introduction to data engineering:

I don't think I advertised that I'm running a session anywhere, so you too can watch angry blog man give a talk and lord it over everyone.

While we’re shutting down the government, seems a good a time to remind folks that we are able to send billions of dollars to Argentina to bail out the right wing leader there, while Argentina is selling discount soy to China, causing US soy farms to go belly up and get bought by Chinese billionaires.

So anyway, that’s where your tax dollars go.

Trump regime didn't bring back a racist word despite the racism.

They did it BECAUSE it is racist.

"Freedom isn't free" isn't just for soldiers.

It's for all of us.

And sometimes it just means "If you're lucky enough to be entrusted with land, do a good job with it.

"Don't just shoot yourself in the foot & grovel for refunds."

We need to see how much work the farm sector's doing to undermine our republic. We need to name this for what it is.

I want farmers to think very carefully about if this is the kind of country we want to leave for our kids.

And if it's not, we need to wake up and do the work it takes to live in a free country.

And that's what I'm seeing this time around as well.

Congress can stop the trade war, AND budget bailouts.

But the farm sector isn't even bothering to ask Congress for anything.

It's all pleas, for money, directed towards Trump himself.

When Trump bailed out farmers in his first term, that was executive branch orders. Congress had nothing to do with it.

So already setting up a pattern of "Who cares about checks & balances? Or how Congress is supposed to be in charge of the US's budget? I'm gonna rule unilaterally. Like a king. And you support me, so I like you, and here's your money."

That's why I'm in a unique position to tell you how US farmers warm up to the idea of "It's time to grow something else."

They don't.
