This is exactly what ICE said: "Parra-Hernandez ran in front of an ICE vehicle and was struck." Now watch the video. They're no other word for it: They're lying.

Eric Umansky@ericumansky.bsky.social

Watch an ICE agent run down and then run over a man. The man was was then writhing on the ground, saying "You broke my leg! You broke my leg!" Agents didn't help him. And btw, the man wasn't the target of their operation.

I didn’t finish reading Stephenson’s “Fall; or, Dodge in Hell” because the virtual world building was too much for my brain with a newborn, but the personal ai filters to filter out the onslaught of others’ ai seems prescient

John Herrman@jwherrman.bsky.social

Even more than usual, tech companies are treating the internet/economy like a sandbox, a benchmark to be saturated. Sometimes an agent shows up and solves everyone's problem. Sometimes it makes a new one, or just makes it someone else's. (Of AI "bottlenecks," I think this one is underrated.)

I thought perhaps the Russian bot / data center claims were overblown. In the last three days the Waltham Channel on Facebook has zero right wing comments on their posts. WALTHAM.

Hard to think of a more likable monster movie cast than the one in Tremors. It's my ideal horror-comedy hybrid, one where the jokes come from how fun the characters are rather than subverting any of the tension.

I assume this gets filed under “one more reason not to pay taxes” under the GOP voter zeitgeist

Radley Balko@radleybalko.bsky.social

These ads go in the same category as brazen, easily disproven lies after ICE killings. It’s not about persuasion. It’s a display of power. They could have passed them off as PAC-funded. They added “paid for by the U.S. government” because they want us to know they can break the law with impunity.

Lots of talk about defending "Western civilization" these days, so here's Richard Wright on what it means to be Western:

If it were possible with policy, forcing stores to implement a single queue for multiple registers would accomplish the same thing. No one likes being their own checker, they use the self checkout because it’s faster and it’s faster because of the single queue.

Aaron Ross Powell@aaronrosspowell.com

Grocery profit margins are razor thin. This policy will lead to an increase in grocery prices. Maybe people are okay with that to keep a particular kind of job around, but we should be clear that this is asking customers to pay more for their family's food to subsidize one small labor sector.
