Follow-up to my earlier post about #NewJersey Senator #AndyKim, who was pepper-sprayed by #ICE at the #DelaneyHall Detention Center in Newark on Monday.

This jaw-dropping photo shared with me shows the moment before ICE actually pepper-sprayed Kim, when he was trying to bring the temperature down. One for the ages.

I'm going call his office again right now. How lucky are we in NJ to have such representation?

Also, #fuckICE.

Functionality and utility are the assets.

Code is a liability we accept to gain those assets.

Fast isn’t a strategy.

If you’re generating ten or a hundred times as much code but your customers aren’t seeing ten or a hundred times as much utility, all you’re doing is losing that much faster.

Police are using the surveillance state to stalk "love interests" because there really is no difference between the part of my job where I fight state surveillance and the part where I fight domestic abuse: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/may/02/flock-police-surveillance-tech-birds-iran-press-freedom

Police are using surveillance tech to stalk love interests. Dystopia, here we come

The tech company Flock has 80,000 cameras across the US – and a report finds some officers are taking advantage

Pete Hegseth, US Secretary of Defense, argues that the greatest enemy of the United States is not Russia, China, or Iran, but any elected representative who opposes Donald Trump.

“The biggest adversary we face at this point are the reckless, feckless and defeatist words of congressional Democrats and some Republicans.”

This is what fascism looks like.

Listening to cybersecurity people freak out over Mythos is so tiring. Like, bro, your local water treatment plant runs Windows XP, your mobile provider's hardware is older than you are, and the protocol that routes internet traffic is secured by everyone just agreeing that hijacking it would be uncool.
