Well at least all of the "are you SURE it's a nazi tattoo" "he was just an uwu smol bean" "purity test" "no accountability for white men" roaches are crawling out from under the rocks to get blocked today.

Log off and go back to kindergarten you fake-ass fucks.

Every rapid response chat I’m on is going berserk — forty ice agents indiscriminately capturing people if you can get down to Canal right now, please go!

More federal agents on Canal, counter protesters gather shouting the agents.

Reminder that Violent J of Insane Clown Posse has the correct response to a lot of the shitty things he said in the early days.
STEREOGUM: People my age, we talk about how we were lucky that we didn’t have social media growing up, and there’s no record of all the dumb shit we said and did. You didn’t have social media, but everything you said and did in those years is on record, and you’ve got to live with it now. That’s tough. VIOLENT J: And the amount of gay Juggalos out there is really surprising. I think about them doing their research and getting the old records, getting excited about it, and getting their hearts broke or something, you know? I tell my daughter, “For the rest of your life, when your friends ask why your dad said that, say it’s because your dad was a fool. Don’t defend me. Say I was a fool then, but I’m not now.” There’s no excuse. I was going with the flow, and that’s the very thing we preach against — being a sheep. And that’s what I was doing. https://www.stereogum.com/2083804/icp-interview-juggalos/interviews/weve-got-a-file-on-you/

Got a local mountaintop inked on my inner forearm a couple months ago and I swear I can feel my serotonin level go up a tiny bit every time I look at it, like I'm a video game character.

The real mountain burnt to a crisp in January so I had it inked as lush and green as it was before that.

I may not make much money streaming but at least the only self-centered behavior I have to deal with is from my cats.

It was a horrific, violent act against a woman is all the details I'll give and I can tell you I was not surprised when a coworker said "Hey, remember [asshole]? Google him." and I found out.

Anyway I will no longer work at places that tolerate and encourage that kind of "rock star" behavior.

Being careful not to dox myself ... had to work with a "rock star" developer who was a self-centered piece of shit. Treated female coworkers so badly we barely talked them out of quitting. His 'genius' ideas put our project behind by weeks.

He's now in jail for ... the details would dox me.

Enough about Work Husbands and Work Wives.

You ever had a legitimate Work Enemy? Because I’ve had several. I never start with these people and I always warn them. But they never listen. 🫠

I'm not gonna quote-tweet that pithy little "big tent" soundbite but guess what, if you let bigots into your tent you are kicking the marginalized out and that makes your tent SMALLER. Especially after the bigots turn on you.

In "Letter from Birmingham Jail" Dr. King was already calling you out.

Anyway I dunno how useful this info is in other areas. In LA the amount of news helos combined with LAPD's tactics of harassing -- sorry, PATROLLING minority neighborhoods at all hours means we have a ton of noisy shitbirds in the air 24/7. Might as well use that for research.

Update on N7530M: They did not fly to the Eaton Fire burn scar but instead circled the Rose Bowl. Weird.

Don't be fooled, though -- this is the Goodyear Blimp and it is not a blimp. It is, as the info sidebar shows, a Zeppelin.
A partial screenshot of ADSB Exchange. A blimp-shaped icon has been selected. Its registration number is N3A and the picture shows what looks like a large blimp with the Goodyear logo on the side. The "type" info in the sidebar shows that it is not a blimp, it is a zeppelin.

The icons are color-coded to show how high the craft are flying, with a key at the bottom of the map. The icons' shapes will indicate what type of aircraft they are -- these beefy bois are Ospreys.
A partial screenshot of ADSB Exchange. Two weird-ass shaped icons are showing over the Pacific Ocean. One is selected, and the left sidebar shows that the weird-ass shaped icons are equally weird-ass shaped Osprey aircraft belonging to the US Military.

They appear to be headed for the Eaton Fire burn scar now and I really hope they're doing journalism and not just letting looky-loos gawk at the acres of empty lots that used to be homes.

You can also figure things out from where it took off, where it's been, and a Google image search of the registration number. This helicopter is linked to "Celebrity Tours". It headed north for a view of Downtown but then headed to the neighborhood that burnt to the ground in the Palisades Fire.
A partial screenshot of ADSB Exchange. It shows that helicopter N7530M has been selected, and the map indicates what's described in the post.

Sometimes you'll see a little generic aircraft icon showing as "no callsign". This is usually the cops and/or feds trying to be sneaky.
A partial screenshot of ADSB Exchange. It shows a generic default aircraft selected, and the left sidebar says "no callsign" and has no data on the aircraft.

Finding news helicopters can often tell you which channels might have live overhead footage of something. Here's our local NBC affiliate covering the disorganized closure of the 5 freeway through Pendleton for artillery exercises conveniently scheduled on a major protest day.
A partial screenshot of ADSB Exchange. This one shows a helicopter over San Clemente: N358TV. It shows as belonging to "Tiny Bubbles Aviation Inc" but the picture shows an NBC 4 logo on the side of the helicopter.

Clicking on an aircraft will give you the info of that aircraft, which can give useful info! For example, here is LAPD puttering around over Downtown hoping to find trouble at the protests.

Rule of thumb: police helicopters circle, news helicopters hover.
A partial screenshot from ADSB Exchange. A helicopter icon has been clicked on, and on the left there is a sidebar showing information about the helicopter including registration number, owner, etc. This particular helicopter is N221LA and shows as belonging to "LAPD AIR SUPPORT DIVISION".

How To Use Helicopters To Find Info, a thread for no reason by a cranky old adhder who hates noise.

First, go to globe.adsbexchange.com and zoom in on the relevant area. This is LA and as you can see we are a constant conga line of aircraft.
A screenshot of ADSB Exchange. It shows the OpenStreetMaps map of the greater Los Angeles Area, overlaid with a huge number of icons representing airplanes, helicopters, and even a "blimp" (spoiler: not actually a blimp). They are colorcoded by how high they are flying.
