New Wellington Water beer match! Chris at Kereru knows our pain, so he's made a very tasty hazy with a very cheeky kea on the can. Dodge the road cones and flap in for a flip and a froth.

The Overdue Dune Launch Party is on today! You have until 6pm to put up your best scores on Dune and Labyrinth by @bofpinball, Portal, Close Encounters, Cirqus Voltaire and Mandalorian, then we'll run a finals playoff for the top 6 or 8 (depending on numbers). No entry fee, just coindrop on the qualifying games you play, and finals will be free. A Dune banner is up for grabs, and the lead sculptor for the game @stevensaunderssculpture will be here at about 4:30pm for a meet & greet and to sign our game and the banner!

ICE has spent hundreds of millions on surveillance. Some technologists are building tools to find it, map it, and push back. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/01/how-hackers-are-fighting-back-against-ice

How Hackers Are Fighting Back Against ICE

A few enterprising hackers have started projects to do counter surveillance against ICE, and hopefully protect their communities through clever use of technology.

First day we're open this year 🎉! It took late into night on Tuesday to sort out the lounge area, but now it's somewhat presentable.

So here's Hopeakuula Arcade, our retro pinball arcade project in #kouvola, #Finland.

Those who are not familiar with us, running this place and keeping pinball alive for the next generations is a hobby of ours. We aim to have clean and well playing for our guests. We're open to the public every Wednesday from 18:00 to 23:00 and once a month on Saturdays from 14:00 to 23:00. Everything is on free play, the playing fee is 12€ on Wednesdays and 20€ on Saturdays.

At present we have 34 games in the lineup, from 70s EM games to 2020s modern games and everything between. I post a lot of repair and maintenance stuff, and this is where it's all from.

If you find yourself in Finland, come check us out - https://pelitaivas.fi/eng/

With an annual budget that is 10 times the size of the agency’s total surveillance spending for the last 13 years, ICE is going on a shopping spree, creating one of the largest, most comprehensive domestic surveillance machines in history. Here’s what they are buying. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/01/ice-going-surveillance-shopping-spree

ICE Is Going on a Surveillance Shopping Spree

We need to have a hard look at the surveillance industry. It is a key enabler of vast and untold violations of human rights and civil liberties, and it continues to be used by aspiring autocrats to threaten our very democracy. As long as it exists, the surveillance industry, and the data it generates, will be an irresistible tool for anti-democratic forces.
