Ok I'm jealous. Also where does one get an Ethernet card for an Apple IIe? And a TCP/IP stack?

Benj Edwards@benjedwards.com

I’ve revived my Apple II Agent project from January: An Apple IIe with an Ethernet card and a custom client It links up to Claude through a proxy on my Mac and allows conversational Apple II software creation similar to Claude Code When it’s done, it loads the new program into memory

Beyond a new rape allegation, the @democrats-judiciary.house.gov report implicates current Attorney General Todd Blanche, stating he "may have engaged in criminal obstruction of justice while acting on a mission to protect Trump," referring to an interview with Ghislaine Maxwell. Seems like news!

If you’re reading this, you’re probably a target of NSPM-7, Trump’s effort to criminalize all resistance. It’s time we got organized to fight back. The NSPM-7 Defendant’s Union presents a collective defense pledge, repression tracker, handbills, and more. crimethinc.com/NSPM7Defenda...

Got my official notice that my Colorado ballot has been counted including this years digital "I Voted" sticker. Use of our demonic blue icon "Blucifer" helps show how much we are not f*cking around this year.

If you told me I’d be redownloading Mapquest in 2026 to try to stay ahead of the surveillance state I wouldn’t have believed you

The Roads Have Eyes! 👁️ Turn on the Surveillance Layer in Map Options to see known license plate readers from Flock Safety, Motorola Solutions (Vigilant), Genetec, Axis Communications, Axon, Leonardo (ELSAG), Neology, Rekor, PlateSmart, Ubicquia, Verkada, and other outdoor surveillance cameras.

This is exactly why abolishing ICE is needed. There is no reforming an agency that's been corrupted like this. And ICE is a relatively new agency. The government can still accomplish legitimate goals without it

Republican politicians are *obsessed* with schoolchildren coming home a different gender because of pro-trans teachers, WHICH NEVER HAPPENS. But they are completely indifferent to schoolchildren not coming home *at all* because of guns, WHICH HAPPENS ALL THE TIME!

Worth watching. If you thought there was a coherent argument behind the GOP taking away your rights and calling it freedom there's not. Baisley's answer makes no sense.

Kyle Clark@kylec.bsky.social

#COSEN GOP nominee Mark Baisley often talks about his political opponents being in "rebellion" against God. For instance, gay people. I asked Baisley what he would say to voters who don't want to be governed by his view of the Bible.

It was literally Hickenloopers job to push back and not vote to confirm people in the hopes that they would push back. Hopefully he'll do a better job next term.

Kyle Clark@kylec.bsky.social

NEW: Sen. John Hickenlooper (D) says he now regrets voting to confirm Trump’s Cabinet nominees. Hickenlooper previously claimed his support “reduced the damage” for Colorado. He said in our #COSEN debate that the strategy didn’t work.

It's just everywhere. The amount of fake "competition" where one company is pretending to be a bunch of different companies is infuriating.

If you can read this without throwing up in your mouth a little and needing a shower to wash the stink of corruption of you, good luck to you. The always amazing @doctorow.pluralistic.net also has some great reporting on this. Utterly gross and repulsive!

It's debate night on 9NEWS. GOP Rep Lauren Boebert and Democrat Eileen Laubacher in their only scheduled debate. 6-7PM on 9NEWS and streaming everywhere you find 9NEWS.

Good for Lafayette. I'm curious to see if Flock actually removes the cameras because in a number of cases they don't. Selling access to data from other cities is a big part of their value proposition so Flock wants the data even if the city isn't paying them.

We should start agitating to expand the vote to non-citizens. The US constitution is silent on the matter and it was apparently commonplace until the 20th century. So it could be considered the "originalist" position. And it will piss off MAGA and make a lot of the voter ID crap useless

"But being a Republican does not require me to abandon my conscience, my judgment or my values." Actually, remaining in Trump's GOP does in fact require exactly that.

I'll be right back. I need to go domain squat on all the cool .si (Slovenia) domains everyone has on the .ai TLD. Wait. Slovenia? Where Melania was born?!? Did I just stumble on the grift?

Personally I think we should stick with standard time. But fundamentally the clock doesn't change when the sun rises or sets. If you have work to do or partake in an activity that needs daylight you need to set your schedule appropriately regardless of the clock.

Ah gotta love Dave Letterman.

The Tennessee Holler @thetnholler.bsky.social

“So the bottom line is Trump doesn’t do the show anymore.” “Yeah.” That time Dave Letterman said Trump stopped doing the show unless he apologized for calling Trump “racist” — and Dave wouldn’t do it.

Our ability to get other countries to send us real goods like cars and computers in exchange for increasingly worthless chits is actually a measure of our economic strength. But Trump is a moron so...

Trump: "If we lose $50 billion a year with a country, and we say 'we're not going to trade with you anymore,' we don't lose $50 billion a year. It's very simple. Right?"

This is good news. Although my first reaction was "what do you have against Multi Protocol Label Switching" 😜

Really there should be a blanket law that NDA's do not cover crimes. Period. Full stop. The idea that it's OK to use an NDA to hide evidence of your crimes is bullshit.

Survivors of sexual abuse would be free to speak about their experiences even if they sign a nondisclosure agreement under a new bill put forward by the House Republican leading the Jeffrey Epstein investigation in Congress.

They aren't going to be able to claim they thought it was legal after calling it the "Unlawful ... Initiative" 😂😂

That's some misdirection in their announcement. It's pretty clear the hackers took basically everything, but they only want to count the info that the hackers had time to sell? Like the hackers don't still have all the data to do with as they please?

I knew that reduced oil imports by China has played a big role in keeping oil prices sane during Trumps ill-advised war but this is the first news I've seen which explains that the why and how is in large part just plain lower oil usage.

Everyone needs to frame this for what it is: a conspiracy to break numerous state laws relating to ballot handling. The fact that the planning is happening in the open does not make it magically legal. This is a crime in progress and needs to be treated as such.
