This could literally happen to any single one of us if we do things that arbitrarily cross a line that angers a particular goon on a particular day.
It has to stop.
Electronic Frontier FoundationAt EFF we spend a lot of time thinking about the tech used by police and authorities to spy on you while you’re going about your everyday life, like cell-site simulators (CSS). Rayhunter is an open source tool we’ve created that we hope empowers everyone to help search out CSS around the world. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/03/meet-rayhunter-new-open-source-tool-eff-detect-cellular-spying
Meet Rayhunter: A New Open Source Tool from EFF to Detect Cellular Spying
Rayhunter is a new open source tool we’ve created that runs off an affordable mobile hotspot that we hope empowers everyone, regardless of technical skill, to help search out cell-site simulators (CSS) around the world.
Brandy ZadroznyAlex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."
Matt BirchlerI'll stop making micro apps one day, but today is not that day!
(in fairness, this one has been in use since August, but I gave it some love this weekend and figured it was time to finally announce it)

TengrainMy dearest, I write from war torn Pioneer Courthouse Square. The single-bean coffee is running out, we haven’t long before craft cocktails are gone, too. I’ve seen folks walk around with empty bags from Kenny and Zuke’s, their Lululemon torn asunder. Even the hot yoga studios have fallen. If you don’t hear from me tomorrow, check for my remains near my fixie as I am heading out to the battle in the Alphabet district. Know my last thoughts were of you and Salt & Straw.
SpockoThis is a GREAT video about why farmers voted for Trump. It REALLY opened my eyes. @sarahtaber describes, with evidence, that the farmers of today KNEW what Trump was going to do (Trade war) & voted for him anyway. They expect free money.
They wanted cuts in environmental regulations, & got them.
They aren't Farm workers, they're FARM OWNERS, more like landed GENTRY.
They got lax labor rules.
They're MULTIMILLIONAIRES, & Trump gave them huge tax breaks.

Why Farmers Voted For Trump
Erin Reed1. UCLA is in negotiations with Trump. Now we know the demands.
Trump wants a statement that UCLA does not recognize trans student identities, a ban on youth care at UCLA clinics, bathroom bans, and more.
Students are fighting back.

Trump's UCLA Settlement Propos...
BrianKrebsInvestigative journalist Jacqueline Sweet just published a helluva scoop over at Rolling Stone that looks into the background of a guy I mentioned the other day: Sam Corcos, one of several people named as allowed to access Treasury/IRS data. WaPo reported the other day, without providing much background into Corcos, that he had shown up at Treasury demanding access to all taxpayer records.
tl;dr: Corcos's wife is a Russian woman who spent years at the venture capital firm GVA Capital, which has been exposed as a money laundering vehicle for Suleyman Kerimov, a sanctioned Russian oligarch.
I published a story yesterday based on research into a DOGE guy who is now director of IT at X. The story looked his and his wife's past connections to a series of Russian foundations in California. As that story noted, Jacqueline was super helpful in that reporting, and she credits me for helping with her research.
