Always think of Chris Thompson, an Oakland journalist and friend who died too young, on this day. The last time I hung out with him was on Thanksgiving , where we had a fierce game of Scrabble

I'm thankful for all the technologists, FOIA officers, parks workers, public health researchers, criminal investigators, and countless other civil servants who have kept diligently doing their jobs under extreme duress. This year has been bad but it could have been so, so much worse.

Not exactly related, but this is how I feel about abortion access. I was born the same year as the Roe v. Wade decision. I had, for almost my entire life, a constitutional access to abortion care. It's wild to see it crumbling within a generation.
It's weird to not only have lived through an information revolution but also now living through its undoing, all within less than a generation.
Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

By far the LARGEST growth in people arrested by ICE and thrown into detention centers across the country are from people with absolutely no criminal history on record. See the data below (and here: austinkocher.substack.com/p/breaking-i... ).
