@hacks4pancakes wow. A lot of the “please still do report crimes happening without fearing deportation” that is gonna fall on deaf ears.
Lol, I did see that AI video he pulled out as an example, and wasn’t sure what the heck I was looking at. The threat is real.

Re: AI regulation, Big Beautiful Bill bs, #uspol etc.
In the bsky thread I found this on, folks were actively discussing self-defense and firearm training for vulnerable members of our communities. That is, in fact, the community I intended to serve when I started teaching. I’m heartened by other combatives instructors who heed the call.
Additionally, the nonprofit Right To Be provides a lot of excellent (and many even free!) bystander intervention and conflict de-escalation trainings that I’ve taken, find useful, and very much recommend: https://righttobe.org/
Sending this into the world in hope that more of us will have the grit to take care of each other and our communities. 👊

"Despite the fact that Chief Justice John Roberts also voted with the liberal justices on the foreign aid case, and despite the fact that Justice Brett Kavanaugh authored opinions during his time as a lower court judge that are now being relied upon as precedent in arguments against the Trump administration before the Supreme Court, the level of ire directed at the male justices is not the same. MAGA acolytes hate women with a sense of violence that is not mirrored in their criticisms of men who step out of line."

That's analogous to what I'm talking about, when I talk about the acrimonious underpinnings against femme professionals in the workplace.
“Move at the speed of trust, not at the speed of reactivity.” Man, if there’s one thing age keeps teaching me, it’s the value of slowing down and establishing. The value of doing the invisible work correctly so you’re well-positioned for go-time.

When you try to merge your bugfix branch into main, and someone else's merge cause conflicts, so then you fix those conflicts, and decide that you might as well fix the linting issues too, and then try to push all these improvements upstream, only to realize you were still trying to merge your bugfixes, and thus was fixing the wrong branch...
Totally not indicative of ADHD, right?

“Everything you draw when you’re 20, you’d erase when you’re 25. Or even at 30. But when you’re 40, I think you’d revise those drawings from when you were 20 rather than scrap them. At 30 you’d be embarrassed by the immaturity in your own work from 10 years prior, rejecting them outright. But at 40 you’d accept them, finding different parts of to play around with.
I am now 50 years old, so I find many ways to tinker with my old works. I update them with a full heart, and they approach perfection.”

Ah here we go.. ICE doing I-9 investigation at one of Peter Chang’s restaurants in DC. They left with no one because staff did not allow them entry into the kitchen.

They're actually more indifferent than they are incompetent, ya know.
I know it's pleasing to make fun of how stupid they are. I do know that. I enjoy the practice myself.
But the point is not that they're *trying* to do well at governing and failing. They are not trying to do well at governing.
They are trying to burn it all down, on the theory that doing so will enable them to not only gain power and wealth, but use it to enslave the "lesser" and "undeserving" humans.

TechCrunch: Government censorship comes to Bluesky, but not its third-party apps … yet. “Earlier this month, Bluesky restricted access to 72 accounts in Turkey at the request of Turkish governmental authorities, according to a recent report by the Freedom of Expression Association. As a result, people in Turkey can no longer see these accounts, and their reach is limited.”

I like human connection, but this article basically describes my draw to high-quality moonless nocturnal solitude, since my high school days.
OK, maybe the moonless part is extraneous. :P
