Verizon didn't even bother to seal up the hole. Just drilled a hole in the brick, ran the fiber through, and left a welcome mat for any ants (or other insects) and water to come right in. I fucking hate cable and telephone companies.

Close-up on a brick wall. A hole with white fiber-optic cable is coming through. Below it, the brick dust from the newly-created hole. There's no caulk or anything filling the hole, just the cable going into it (which is like 1/10th the diameter of the hole).
The other side of the brick, showing the hole with the fiber optic cable and no caulk or other sealant. A flashlight is shining next to the hole so you can see stuff.
Same (opposite) side of the brick, but this time without the flashlight. You can see the white cable, and where the cable goes into the hole you can see daylight shining through the other end.

The push to criminalize forms of nonviolent disobedience as a form of terrorism comes amid a broader Trump administration effort to crack down on leftist organizations, causes, and social m…
