We at the El Paso Times have new updated photos of the East Montana ICE detention facility. It has massively expanded since we published the first photos back in August. The office of U.S. Rep. Veronica Escobar told me there over 2,000 immigrants detained there*.

I'm tangling with a pro AI person who is demanding to know which AI program is generating those muddy cartoonish illustrations with the brown overtones that everyone who is normal about AI recognizes immediately as slop, because he thinks it's not slop. Is it ChatGPT? I don't touch the things.

A lot of people wonder how companies like IBM, Ford, Coca Cola, and General Electric got away with supporting Nazi Germany in their genocidal war.

This is how. Companies have always taken profits, wherever it comes from, no matter what atrocities they are enabling. Fascism is built on corporations.

Look, I get that we all want to like that frog pretending to be Obama “Hop” poster, but you all understand it’s obviously AI, right?

It has that pissbrown sheen suffusing the entire thing that’s even more obvious when you compare it to the original.

I’m not alone in seeing this, right?

The thing about “city cops are wary of mayoral candidate” stories is those cops don’t live or vote there so you don’t have to care what they think.

I think the counter argument to “Ellison and Weiss will turn CBS News into an unstoppable propaganda machine” is Bezos’s WaPo which lost basically all the talent and also is in a subscription death spiral

After getting zero firm commitments to this point from the first nine invitees, the Trump administration is extending its proposed compact to all colleges. Expect some red-state publics to say yes.

Grid scale batteries are changing our electricity system. Excellent new visual story on batteries in FT today shows just how far this technology has evolved.

Fasten your seatbelts, this is just the beginning.

Folks who enjoy to consume their stories in comic book form (including manga) or audio book form are no less well read than those who read “real books”.

Visual literacy is a thing. Auditory comprehension is a thing. We shouldn’t shame anyone for how they choose to engage with literature.

Marc Benioff, who used to lean kind of liberal, has decided it's more convenient to be right-wing, and he owns Time. (I heard an interesting podcast conversation about how MAGA despises Silicon Valley oligarchs because they have no real commitments except maximal profit.)

I genuinely don't think she has any creative control over this. It's pretty likely that her producers force her to moderate this mess of a show.

Hey, the amazing @bradwenner.photo figured it out! It's coming from a Privacy Badger thing that's preventing Blacksky from seeing Bluesky's gifs. So I went into the Privacy Badger settings and deactivated it for blacksky.community, and now I see gifs! Thank you @bradwenner.photo!

this is only literary opinion adjacent but it is definitely unhinged

when I am stocking copies of a face-out book at the bookstore, I will put the fresh copies behind any copies already on the shelf, because they’ve been waiting their turn to be picked and I don’t want their feelings to get hurt

This is factual & the people who were politically active at that time know it.
"He had a Democratic majority." He knew exactly what Democrats he had to work with & they weren't about to go for it. Many of them are still sitting there & haven't changed their hearts.

Joe Biden had a peace deal in place, but then Netanyahu and Trump met in Mar-a-Lago and decided that keeping the war going would benefit them both.

Ten months later, they’re signing the exact deal Biden brokered.
