More of John Beltran, Detroit's finest... This time one of my fave tracks from his 2020 album The Season Series (the entire album is absolutely stunning and true soul food):

How to tank the American travel and hospitality industry with this one asinine fascist trick!

A reporter writes about a visit from the FBI in 2020, following his story about a hack, and the long-term personal impact, along with eroding press freedoms (Zack Whittaker/~this week in security~)

FBI agents visited my home about an article I wrote, and now I can't go to Mexico
Mexico formally requested the FBI's help in seeking answers about one of my stories. Having federal agents on my doorstep sparked my own years-long effort to pry information out of the FBI to explain why it came to my house to begin with.

GNU Recutils
Fred and George, Turtles in love There are hundreds of cool command line tools that have been made over the years built on the unix philosophy. Plain text is powerful, ubiquitous, and human-centric.

On a related note, a reminder of the timeline of 2020:
Things didn’t turn chaotic and violent immediately after the police murdered George Floyd.

Things didn’t turn chaotic and violent when the protests started.
Things turned chaotic and violent when they brought charges against Chauvin, and the police flipped out and went on a rage-fueled bender of mass tear-gassing the peaceful protests.
