The first paragraphs of this article are big news (I think?? IANAL): the FBI tried to shut MN out of the investigation of ICE’s murder of Renee Good, which almost certainly is the start of a cover-up. Minnesota initially threw up its hands and said “well that sucks.”
Today we learn that Minnesota and Hennepin County are still gathering evidence themselves, apparently independently of the FBI. My hope is that this is in pursuit of state charges, in defiance of the Trump-controlled FBI.

Doing further research into the origins of the Abrahamic religions following my essay on The Claimants to the Tortured Land, I learn that by a supreme irony, #Israel itself is named after...
Drumroll....
A CANAANITE DEITY.
Yes, that's right. The name 'Israel' honours not יהוה, but El.

David Ellison made his first public appearance before WBD execs; sources: he called the deal process "turbulent", downplayed layoffs, and left some unsatisfied (Borys Kit/The Hollywood Reporter)

As a teen I fell off the other side if this damn dam... It had pipes sticking out every few feet and I bounced off of every one of 'em on the way down. Amazingly I did not break anything.
By-the-way, this photo shows the downstream side - the concrete apron is used in many films (such as in the film clip - Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Official Trailer - below after the photo.)
I drove past just the other day and low and behold there was yet another film crew filming someth…

A Professor at Toronto Metropolitan University:
“The Government of Canada could easily decide that it was going to use LinkedIn or Instagram or wherever it posts, and journalists would switch to following them there because they want to access what they’re saying,” he continued. “There was zero audience for Truth Social when
Trump created and started using it, but the audience went to the politician. Carney and his government could take a principled position by leaving X and its horrible spawn, Grok, and his audience of journalists and politicos would go with them.”
“Apparently, our political leaders simply choose not to.”
YES!! #Fediverse #SocialWeb #Mastodon
As always a huge thank you for the Senator's @… ongoing activism. It WILL happen. (and by it I mean, government going to the social web... Bluesky is just a temporary blip until it too goes fascist or we get some proper digital sovereignty laws in place.)

We have too much snow where I live. Going to the train this morning felt like walking in a maze of snow. The 'true detective 3' feeling. Apparently it has been continuing to snow during the day so now I hope that I'll make it home from the train station

One of my VR Lighthouses died last month. These things are gyroscopically spinning 24 hours a day for, what, a decade now? Nearly.
No wonder. Mostly the industry seems to be settling on using head-mounted cameras rather than sweeping infra-red beams and receptors on the head anyway.
It is true that lighthouses give accurate positioning, but means I can't easily take the headset next door, say. Or to a party.
So inside-out, as they call it, is fine for the headset now and mostly okay for the hand-controllers.
But it offers no solution at all for the foot-trackers and hip-tracker that I need for puppetting the characters in the #vr #slimeVR #trackers

…everyone there was white. •Everyone•. This particular park would usually be more white than not, but…this was weird.
There’s officially a city prohibition on ICE setting foot in city parks, but who knows what that’s worth? Those bastards will do anything if they think they can get away with it. And they’ll grab people right off the streets if they’re falling behind quota for the day. Who’d risk that?
ICE had apparently succeeded turning the park into all-white world they dreamed of. It was…creepy.
