The whole country is horrified by what happened in Minnesota. This is the time when a competent President would offer words of comfort, acknowledge the tragedy, and lay out plans for preventing it happening again.
I hope to never be the witness of a violent crime like the one the Trump administration’s ICE officer committed today, but if I am, I hope I have my camera going. The citizen journalism from Minnesota is incredible, and I acknowledge how hard it was for them.
Green Day is a band that was built on the premise of challenging everything unfair or unwise (aka Punk). I have loved them since I was a teenager (30+ years!) and they still come through at key times.
One of these days they’re going to kill a senator’s son.
Life is so tumultuous, even for conservative or other right-wing people, I’d think that everybody would agree that “chaos leadership” is bad. But no, the Trumpers keep Trumping. He’s really got a spell on them.
Nobody should talk about anything but Alex Pretti until American leadership is dethroned.

I still can’t believe you jackasses voted for this clown.
Anybody could have seen it coming if they just paid attention to the fact that she shot her own dog. #Noem
One thing AI can’t help with is idiots being given guns, limited training, absolute authority, and being told to go out there and fuck with everybody. And then kill them. #ICE
Alex was a good person. Trump, Vance, and Noem killed him. Shot and killed by ICE, “doing their jobs.” Noem probably considered him about as redeemable as her dog, which she also shot and killed.
lI watched it again to confirm my memory. I think this is pretty accurate. For anybody who doesn’t want to watch the gruesome event on video, this is my synopsis: mastodon.social/@danielpu…
Brace yourself. Trump will use the “alarming homicide rate” in Minneapolis (thanks to ICE) as an excuse to escalate.
How many Americans were shot and killed by Federal agents under Biden?
ICE would kill any one of us without remorse. Any. One. Of. Us.
I spent all day not watching the video because I knew it would be heartbreaking and disturbing. I finally watched it because 1. I want to face what my government is doing honestly, and 2. I don’t think anybody can hold an honest opinion of what happened without watching it.
ICE should not have guns. Nothing about “protecting” our borders should involve shooting people.
The fine folks at Iconfactory, whose incomparable work you’ve undoubtedly seen in some of the best apps in the world, have a new Kickstarter to expand Ollie’s Arcade: www.kickstarter.com/projects/…
It’s impossible to joke about Trump’s self-professed shift to aggression as a consequence of “losing” the Nobel Peace Prize, because humor involves finding the absurdity in something that isn’t overtly absurd.
I didn’t anticipate hailing Ben Affleck as an astute critic of AI. There are parallels for software developers. The ability to write an effective function or even a whole subsystem is not comparable to writing an app. Great apps require an epic amount of human editing, just like great films. www.threads.com/@forrestp…
Hundreds of millions of Americans would appreciate it if Europe could please stand up to the bad man and, by necessity, to the United States. We cherish our alliances, at least until the brain worm that infected them reaches us. Help us while you still can. #ToughLove
My younger boy turned 14yo today, and we took him to an old-school skating rink to celebrate. It was pretty dark, so my attempts to snap a shot while he was skating were pretty rough. I love the way this one turned out, though. Unedited except to crop to square. It looks like a painting.
Just posted MarsEdit 5.3.12 with fixes to the font panel, and a few other improvements. redsweater.com/blog/4247…
When I first started speedcubing, at the behest of my kid, my goal was to not come in last. That’s gotten easier over the years, but today I reached a new milestone: getting in to the second round (of anything): live.worldcubeassociation.org/competiti…
Got a clue in the Puzzmo puzzle today that reminded me of @Miraz :)
