@FritzAdalis I feel like this could be written as a haiku.
The great tiki heist

A stolen tiki from the Palm Springs home of artist Josh Agle—aka Shag—has sparked an unlikely tiki noir complete with social media sleuths, bad tiki karma, a 60-year history of similar thefts and a surprise rescue effort from a legendary tiki artist in Camarillo. The drama began about two weeks ago, when Agle, a renowned artist who paints a stylized <a href="https://www.thecamarilloacorn.com/articles/the-great-tiki-heist/">[…]</a>

@mttaggart Everyone driving west isn't going to California. This article isn't tasteful but it's no Mein Kampf.

@mttaggart Like 4:00 PM Fox News.

I think maybe, sometimes, people forget just how bad the Nazi's were.

@mttaggart > real-life Nazi like DHH

That's a bit of an exaggeration. I don't like Ruby as much as the next guy. But that doesn't make him an actual Nazi.

@davidgerard Don't ban them, charge them. Give a per person discount on water and electricity usage and then upcharge the crap out of overages. Use it to fund society.

The FAA quietly imposed a nationwide drone restriction that prevents filming ICE and other federal agents within half a mile. It’s an attack on the First Amendment. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/04/faas-temporary-flight-restriction-drones-blatant-attempt-criminalize-filming-ice
The FAA’s “Temporary” Flight Restriction for Drones is a Blatant Attempt to Criminalize Filming ICE

Legal intern Raj Gambhir was the principal author of this post.Update: On April 15, 2026 the FAA rescinded the TFR (FDC 6/4375) and instead issued an advisory (FDC 6/2824), which states: [Drone] operators are advised to avoid flying in proximity to: Department of War (DOW), Department of Energy (...

@CliffsEsport @Viss Well, for me, python is the easiest to implement and pick up to build things. The main upside and downside of python is the availability of libraries. (able to find libraries for many things). That's an upside, BUT, the downside, is the supply chain for python libraries is ALSO not very well vetted, and there are most certainly bits of malware or Bitcoin mining or other crap you do NOT want on your systems that show up...

As a basic language (without loading libraries, willy nilly), it's probably the best. (Disclaimer: that's the tech stack I am using most now)

@ai6yr What happened?
