Mark Dilley#RicardoLevinsMorales: The reason so few uplift the names of Luis Gustavo Núñez Cáceres, Keith Porter Jr, Geraldo Lunas Campos, or the other lives cut short by ICE, is racism. The reason they haven't heard of them (and repeatedly heard about them) is media racism. When 50,000 people braved -10 degree temperatures on January 23, the chants were all about defending immigrants, calling out racism, and demanding ICE Out.
the roamerSir Geoffrey had placed his map on the table in the Great Hall. He explained it to our Lady Joan Mastodon. Every tag had its place. There were arrows between them, colour coded. Shaded areas identified groups of related concepts. Sir Geoffrey had even added little drawings to some of them: a camel for tags relating to periods of scarce resources, a harp for festive events, a skull for search engines. He beamed with pride.
What wonderful work, my friend, our Lady Joan said to him. And I love those droll little drawings, they are so evocative! But I fear you overthink your hashtags, my dear Geoffrey.
She turned around to address her knights. Hashtags, my friends, are meant to surprise and disorient. They break up what appears frozen, they connect what is isolated. Use them without plan. Hashtags are life.
Having spoken thus, our Lady asked Sir Geoffrey to have dinner with her and share with her guests his tales from the Before Days.
tgYesterday I wondered aloud why RSS readers look like email clients.
@brentsimmons replied. Turns out he borrowed that layout for NetNewsWire in 2002 — and twenty years later, he's asking why no one's tried something different.
That conversation became an essay. I built a visual version (with an ASCII fallback).

Eugene WeeklyRead all about the wide variety of indoor games that folks in Lane County play to avoid boredom and maybe even scratch that competitive itch. Whether you want to find a new community or learn a new skill, there’s certainly not a lack of choices when it comes to gaming indoors. There’s board game clubs, a realistic Game of Life, HAPHAZARDS and even fingerboarding.

Today's xkcd reminded me of the progression where insects' ancestors evolved out of the water to escape the ancestors of spiders. Who evolved to follow them. And that insects then evolved wings, in part to escape spiders, some of whom evolved webs that catch fliers.
Side note: Spiracles are amazing. https://xkcd.com/3199/ #arthropods #ecdysozoans
"Stand in their way as a black person or a person of colopr and you become a statistic. Stand in the way as a white person and you're a domestic terrorist, but at least you get headlines. We have been here before, all the same forces operating in all the same ways." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BReVUJKf9fU
A Deadly Resistance Dynamic: Friendly Fire

"Renee Good was shot in the face. Alex Pretti was shot in the back. Their deaths were not accidental. They were not the result of poor or insufficient training. They were the result of intent.
Why are moderates worried about seeming extreme when the context is murder by the state? In that setting, there’s no such thing as an overreaction."
