Working on visualizing the procgen via leaflet to render my district polygons and then fill them with districts which contain a grid of chunks that get procedurally mixed based on a bunch of rulesets. The colored lines are the road networks, based on real OSM and GIS data!

The imperial boomerang hitting back is giving me mixed feelings because the people who enjoyed the zone of interest until now are still not making the connection between what they were complicit in to maintain their comfort and what is happening at "home" now.

This is technically about a specific happenstance, but also, this is a reminder to both myself and others online:
It's okay if people don't know specific terminology experts in a field use. It's okay if people in pain and panicking aren't getting everything right. (4/5)

NDI integration with OBS is a powerful tool for video routing as part of UX Tests
It can let you have video in an observation room and treat it like any other OBS source for things like mutliviews
However, NDI does use up significant bandwidth and need to make sure your network can handle it!

The right wing is so fully astroturfed that they genuinely cannot comprehend organic behavior
James O'Keefe says he's never seen anything so organized as the anti-ICE movement, observers--he seems to think this term is code--everywhere he goes. Who is paying for it??? he demands to know. It's like he can't even imagine people caring for one another.

i think this attitude — that all opposition is illegitimate and nothing we do can be questioned— is probably pervasive in the white house and helps explain why they keep making terrible political choices
Putin pioneered this. No opposition is legitimate. Regular, decent, “ordinary” people cannot possibly be against us because only we represent “the real people.”
Tell-tale sign of authoritarianism.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.
