Every dictator guilty of crimes against humanity¹ deserves to be arrested and sent directly to The Hague.
What makes the U.S.' arrest of #Maduro problematic is the potentially disproportionate military strike and the lack of an ICC warrant – the one that Argentina had demanded in 2024.² #Venezuela

The Kilauea volcano in Hawaii erupted on Sunday,
sending lava fountains, ash and smoke into the air.
The US Geological Survey said it was the 42nd episode of lava fountains since the current series of intermittent eruptions began in December 2024.
The plume from the latest eruption reached more than 10,000 metres (35,000 feet), according to the National Weather Service

The Harvest: Canada’s MAID Program, Eugenics, and the Commodification of Despair
When a state administers death as a healthcare service and then discovers the dead have commercially valuable parts, the question is no longer about dignity. It is about inventory. Something has gone structurally wrong in Canada, and the evidence is no longer ambiguous. In 2024, 16,499 Canadians died through the country's Medical Assistance in Dying program, accounting for 5.1 percent of…

I wrote https://jws.news/2024/hp-z4-g4-workstation/ two years ago about buying an old workstation off eBay to try running local LLM models. It didn't go as well as I had hoped, but between tariffs, hardware shortages, and my own lack of cash, I think that it is going to be another two years before I get to try again.

I'm shocked, shocked, that waiving the transfer tax on downtown office to residential conversions did not result in a single such conversion happening.
Well, not that shocked. (The real point of March 2024 Prop C was the sneaky provision letting the SFBOS reduce the transfer tax altogether without an election. Not to produce housing but to cut downtown landlords' taxes.)
The people who actually decide elections aren’t in the base
— and they’re turning.
Political independents and soft partisans — voters Trump converted in 2024 to beat Harris — are more loosely attached to Trump and support his policies less.
When political conditions deteriorate for the GOP, it’s these voters who are the first to leave.

Schon seit ein paar Wochen bin ich ein Album der Woche schuldig.

Alder/Matheos (früher Fates Warning) machen mal wieder ein eigenes Ding, sie haben sich dieses Mal aber der ruhigen Töne gewidmet. Mir zu langweilig. #rocknroll

It's January 4th and I've already got a few orders this year for my little hobby business.
One from the UK, one from Ireland, and one from Switzerland.
Last year we shipped close to 80% of the orders to the US and almost 20% to the UK, with a few other countries besides those two.
I do feel like I'm seeing fewer US sales since the beginning of 2024, file that as you will.
Overall sales were down a bit in 2024 but I did a few larger projects for folks that …

Democrats watched with mouths agape this week as Latino voters,
many of whom have sat out previous primary seasons,
turned out in droves for James Talarico in Texas.
But the push to win back the elusive and swingy coalition that proved pivotal to Donald Trump’s 2024 victory goes way beyond the closely watched Lone Star State.
This is a story that kicked off last year as Democrats overperformed in Latino-dominant districts across Virginia and New Jersey.
