Take note, ICE is putting LGBTQ+ symbols on their vehicles. Others report deceptive tactics to fish for information or attempts to get advocates to scan QR codes.
For those of you not in the midst of a blitz, now is the time to establish trusted connections & brush up on operational security.

I have been told that this undercover ICE agent tried to get observers to scan a QR code “for his website”. The QR code did not resolve to a link.
DO NOT SCAN UNKNOWN QR CODES FROM STRANGERS.
This is a massive security risk! Bad things can happen to you if you do it!
Stay frosty, friends.

Every day some story breaks me some. Today it’s the guy who approached parents at a school patrol, told them he was with Indivisible, and asked about how the patrol system works. The parents gave vague answers, followed him back to his car — and of course it was ICE.

"Am I being detained?"
No: "Great, have a nice day. Goodbye."
Yes: "I'm not answering any questions without a lawyer."
Also ICE doing their thing I don't even think I'd say hello or open up. They can holler at me through the door if they want. Definitely don't let them in.

A woman left a comment on Facebook criticizing the Mayor of Miami Beach,.
The Mayor of Miami Beach then sent the cops to her home.

Windows 10 goes out of support today. My fave useless fact about w10 is that the iconic blue desktop background is a *photograph* - not CGI.

When something is broken at work, after you report it to the help desk you can just Google the issue then copy-paste the AI response about how to fix it and send it to them in an email too.

Maybe I'm old and out of touch, but the Internet was where you would go to connect with "underground" subcultures. You could find information about making explosives, ceremonial magic, furry porn, hacking/phreaking, psychedelic drugs, etc. and now there are five websites and a billion online stores.
I don't know if it's just me, but the Internet feels really small now.
It feels like a cable TV channel for "Health and Lifestyle" that shows nothing but "Reality TV" shows 24 hours a day about some newlywed couple looking for a house to purchase. (With half the airtime being commercials.)
