The U.S. Department of Homeland Security today released a new ICE recruiting poster, under the stilted and sexist tagline, "Which way, American man?"

Why did they use that weird language? Because it's a dog whistle, something ordinary humans won't notice but that those attuned to it will respond to. And it's literally a Nazi dog whistle.

William Gayley Simpson was a Presbyterian pastor who decided Christianity wasn't workable and consciously decided to become a racist instead. In 1978 he published a book, "Which Way, Western Man?" – a manifesto calling on white men to defeat all other races. Some nuggets include:

"Let me preface what I am about to say by declaring frankly that I am prepared to accept violence on the part of our people. The Jews’ hold on our throat is not going to be relaxed until we break their grip. Hitler felt that he had to take to the streets. All normal approach to his people was barred. Today, we are confronted with much the same situation here."

"The point is to reveal organized Jewry as a world power entrenched in every country of the White man’s world...."

You might think that 1978 is too long ago for anyone to remember, but this book was republished in 2003 by a neo-Nazi group called the National Alliance, and is a bestseller among neo-Nazi and white supremacist groups.

In other words, the federal government is recruiting Nazis and other racists to join ICE, which is being deployed in cities across the country and arresting both citizens and non-citizens alike.

Folks, this literally is fascism. You think I enjoy posting this stuff here all the time? I don't. But this literally is fascism. They're literally following the Nazi playbook. And they'll follow it to the very end.

Unless we stop them.

# Am I (still?) in Mozilla's target audience?

With the latest update of Firefox, and the latest opportunity to dive into about:config to switch things off, I ask myself *again* if I am really part of Mozilla's target audience or not.

I'm on the server floor of a "highly secure data center with 24/7/365 surveillance, direct access control and robust perimeter security".

An actual duck just walked by. 🦆

The panic is absolutely glorious. I think this just became one of the highlights of my life.

In true XKCD 927 fashion, Muddled Libra / UNC3944 / Scattered Spider / Lapsus$ / whatever new name the multi-billion dollar security companies are calling the kids these days is now going to be referred to as FEISTY CUMSTAIN.

This is the definition of "uterus" as appears at the top of a Google search when you're looking to find the meaning of the word.

...and it contains a MAJOR factual inaccuracy. Let's explain exactly what is so wrong here.

OTHER THINGS YOU CAN DO TO SAVE WATER AT HOME

- Save your piss in empty soft drinks bottles. No, really: piss is water, not radioactive waste, honest

- Wrap yourself in cling-film at night so you sweat less

- Kidnap passing school children, slice them finely, and dry them in a food dessicator

- Eat the rich (raw), that way you're not wasting valuable water on crop irrigation: suggestion, start with water company PR firm executives
