Taken: 9 September 2026 (8:18pm – 10:13pm) "I estimate there are approximately 14,000 satellite trail appearances across the 578 photographs. These aren't necessarily 14,000 different satellites, as the same satellite can appear in multiple exposures." "This is NOT AI-generated." #Kikorangi #nzpol
Brendan Larsen from Ngāmotu in Aotearoa and a member of the New Plymouth Astronomical Society took this stack over a couple of hours and estimates 14000 satellite trails. This is how bad it is now, it's set to get much much much worse - and then we lose Low […] [Original post on river.geek.nz]

When Ukraine destroys Russian data centers, hoards of aggressive right-wing bots disappear & the internet becomes friendlier. So much of politics is driven by the internet & so much of the internet is driven by Russians who want to hurt us. Shouldn’t we do something about that, given that we know it

NEW: @apnews.com confirms that ICE has begun electronically "disappearing" people in the agency's custody who have final orders of removal. As of last week, anyone jailed by ICE with a final order of removal will NOT appear in the ICE Online Detainee Locator System, making them effectively vanish.
Stay tuned for more on this from mainstream reporting hopefully later today, but Bob's got the gist of it; last week, it appears that ICE began disappearing people from the Online Detainee Locator System the moment they get a final order of removal. Yes, this is as deeply screwed up as it sounds.

1/ This @propublica.org story is just gobsmacking. As table stakes: why does a family of billionaires need help paying for weddings? And why would they accept from Russian oligarch with ties to Putin and FSB? www.propublica.org/article/dona...

Here’s to the crazy new Apple CEOs still not being able to Think Differrent
“Everyone considers it fucking nuts.” Inside Apple, I'm told "not a soul" supports Donald Trump's Lake Ontario rebrand to "Lake America," but the company is also resigned to making such concessions to avoid the White House's rage. Details in @status.news: www.status.news/p/apple-maps...

I think what we're seeing around the internet right now, vis a vis AOC & her ex-boyfriend & her eggs, is just a tiny, tiny, tiny sliver of the absolute madness that will break out if she runs for president. No matter how f'ing weird you think people will be about it, they will be much, much weirder.

It would be wild for him to pull this kind of shit during a shaky confirmation process if executing moves like this weren't the exact reason he was nominated in the first place.
NEW: Todd Blanche blew the deadline to respond to my lawsuit. Now, he wants the court to forgive his "excusable neglect." Stay tuned for the latest episode on my YouTube channel breaking down the latest filings, including my own motion to compel Blanche to answer my complaint.

ICE may have moved off the front page, but another man is dead after an encounter with agents, and the administration is still defending detention without bond. This is why we keep watching, even when the headlines move on. Read today’s Civil Discourse: joycevance.substack.com/p/ice-still-...

We the people want to get money OUT of politics, but the oligarchs on the court say we need MORE. Well then I say we need MORE justices on the court. 13 at least.
Supreme Court rules 6-3 to strike down limits on how much party committees can spend in coordination with candidates. The latest ruling over the last two decades to unravel campaign finance restrictions. On ideological lines, written by Kavanaugh. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...
