Willem challenged us to ask ourselves what we would do if we were living under Nazi occupation. Before all of this, I doubt anyone thought they would be complicit. I doubt anyone said to themselves, "nothing. I would cower in fear and do nothing."
But for 4 years or so we all answered that question again and again with our lives. Now here we are, answering it again... Every day. But it's no longer "what would you do during the rise of Hitler?" It's now, "what would you do after the invasion of Poland," and "what would you do after you knew about the concentration camps?"
For some people, the answer is still, "nothing."
But a lot of people have been brave in the face of it all. A lot of people have died, and a lot more will die. He will die, perhaps after a ruling by some court or other but, honestly, probably not. That's just how these things work out. Lots of people die, some for no reason, some because they stood up against injustice. A whole lot of people do nothing, until it's safe to claim victory... Until it's no longer safe to be on the other side.
That's just how these things go. Fascism is self-defeating, but it causes incredible harm on it's path of self-destruction. The more people who stand up, who risk themselves, the faster it collapses and the fewer it can hurt. That's also just how these things go. It's incredibly dangerous for everyone until enough people take some extra risk and make it safe for everyone again.
But that question still stands... Which one of those groups are you in? Are you proud of what you are doing, or will you look back with shame? Some of y'all have a lot to be proud of, but, if you're not, it's never too late to earn your way into that proud group.

Bei dem Mist, den Kultur­staats­minister Weimer fortgesetzter Weise fabriziert, wär es eigentlich dringendst angeraten, daß die Länder, die sonst immer sehr bestimmt und eigen bezüglich ihrer Rechte sind, und die nach Art. 70 (2) GG die ausschließliche Zuständigkeit¹ für Kultur innehaben, auch hier darauf pochen.
Zwar ist laut Art. 73 (5a) GG Aufgabe des Bundes, deutsches Kulturgutes gegen Abwanderung ins Ausland zu schützen, aber auch da betreibt Weimer eher das Gegenteil, allein sein…

Something I do not think the fashy Trump-licking crowd understands is how •deeply• we here in Minneapolis and environs felt everything that’s happened.
The ICE invasion might have been a lot of things for the folks behind it: a strategic offensive, a gambit, a bender, a job, a joy ride. But I suspect that across all those cases, it was something they feel like they can walk away from whenever they decide to be done with it.
Not so for us neighbors. They have no idea how angry we are. They have no idea how long we’re going to stay angry. If you were a part of the ICE invasion, be warned: people will be out hunting for your head as long as you walk free on this earth.

Maxx Crosby dodges question, refuses to address status with Raiders https://raiderswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/raiders/2026/02/06/maxx-crosby-dodges-question-refuses-to-address-status-with-r…

Anyone good in statistics who can quickly answer a question? Assume I have an n-digit random binary number (for IT people: a bitstring). I calculate the number of 1s vs. 0s ("Hamming weight"). Expected to be usually ~0.5/50%. How does one calculate the probability for a given length n that it's above or below a certain value, i.e. <=40% or >=60%? And how many inputs would one on average need to get at least one such outlier?

No where near enough parking for those who drive in. Can't get a monthly pass as they have oversubscribed and a waiting list that may take God only knows how long before we get a spot. Bus system is less than reliable. Not enough space so we have to 'hotel'. Even before COVID we were alternating weekly for remote working and at-office due to parking spaces.

I don't see any problems of more of us being at my work location.
