Status Coup is live at the Minneapolis rally/march. A US Army veteran just gave his account of what he saw from the Donut place. youtu.be/mzImTfbS_4g They're calling to expand the strike. "No more Minnesota nice, Minneapolis will strike"
Protesters have erected barricades in Minneapolis. The protests haven't stopped since ICE killed Alex Pretti. Here's a livestream that's been up for about 12 hours. It's worth scrubbing through to see what's happened. It's not clear when, or if, they'll go home. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYPG...

It's 5 AM, I'm stoned, and I've been watching this for like 10 minutes. It's cinema. The silly elliptical bike, the fact that his flag is draped all sad, the knock-off black bloc outfit with the FUCKIN FLIP FLOPS? And no one's looking at him. Benny Hill on a pink megaphone upstaged his big moment.
I’ve seen just one counter-protester at No Kings San Diego. He’s got a Trump 2024 flag and this guy has been following him around for probably an hour playing Benny Hill and circus music.
Apparently @merriam-webster.com is one of the clippy folks, too. Fuckin sick.

We really need better tech literacy. Whats happened here is that a blurry photo was fed into a generative AI, which proceeded to make stuff up to fill in the missing (blurry) data in the image. I know the tech companies are preaching that Ai is magic, but it's just guessing. Expensively guessing.
Today’s press pool photo shows Trump leaving the White House this morning. I enhanced the image. And seriously, can an expert explain what the hell is happening to his forehead? Right above his nose and right brow.
I'd like to hear Billy's opinion on why Linux has been free, open source for decades. Every distro is hosted for free somewhere. Every windows application has some free alternative, or some free software that makes it work on Linux. What is the incentive for that?
You may not like it, but humans respond to incentives—and money is a big one. If you mess with an incentive, you’ll get fewer things that change the world for the better. Especially when considering the state is really, REALLY good at one thing: wasting money.
