On the importance of being froggy:

The play in the #fascism handbook that #trump and his handlers have been itching to play out is a more widespread martial law.

They don’t need an excuse mind you, but oh my does it piss them off that they don’t have one in Portland. The corporate media agencies are built around clickbait and even though they’re a propaganda machine for Trump, folks in frog suits facing off against an armed gestapo is too juicy for them to ignore.

So now you have folks like Miller desperately lying to the media about “war-ravaged #portland” and people laughing at him because there are no riots for them to inflame, just folks laughing at the absurdity of it all.

Keep laughing. Keep mocking. It’s infectious. The more we laugh at them now, the less likely it is that the people we need to march in protest are cowed and kept too scared to do so.

If we’re lucky maybe we can laugh them out of office on a raft of inflatable frogs. I’m not naive, I know that’s unlikely, but for now at least I’m choosing to have some faith in the power of the absurd.

I am on board for a national strike. Shut it all down economically. For as long as it takes. The longer we wait the worse it will get. These fascist thugs and corrupt enablers must be stopped. #NationalStrike #USPol #Fascism
Help my friend Becky fight her recent cancer diagnosis. Like many, I played games Becky helped create on the Apple II/IIgs, Macintosh, and other personal computing platforms.

Got to see this awesome boat at the Richmond Yacht Club and meet Leo last night, along with a few hundred other fans. Leo gave an hour slideshow talk and was gracious to meet everyone.

This is 100% accurate

Much bigger AI fan these days. As a technology, it’s humanity’s last best chance to save ourselves and bankrupt Facebook. Where VR failed, AI may yet prevail, draining the monster’s life force and freeing our families from the eldritch spells of the mad boy king.

A new #iPhone app, ICEBlock, allows users to anonymously report real-time sightings of ICE activity, similar to Waze.

#ICE officials have condemned the app, stating it endangers officers due to a recent 500% increase in assaults against them. [#fuckICE ]

The app's developer says ICEBlock is a #grassroots effort to inform #communities about ICE operations and help #people avoid confrontations.

ICEBlock app alerts users of nearby ICE sightings

The app functions similarly to Waze, allowing users to pinpoint sightings on a map, add details, and send push alerts to others within a five-mile radius.

No, you are not a billionaire because you're a genius.

You are a billionaire because you're a heartless, predatory sociopath and capitalism exists to reward heartless, predatory sociopaths.

It takes no effort at all to be a trash human.

This is an excellent summary of Elon Musk’s takeover of the Treasury from NY Magazine’s Chas Danner, with quotes from WSJ, NYT, WaPo, and more. But this quote from political scientist Seth Masket is right on the money. This isn’t efficiency. It’s a coup. This article is available for free for a limited time. I highly suggest you read and share. https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/elon-musk-doge-treasury-access-federal-payments.html
