Some photos from today's hike in the mountains. To escape the fog.
It was very very icy at the bottom. And I was super happy to have my micro spikes.

Donald Trump is worried that Republicans aren’t as afraid of him as they used to be.
Despite his self-billing as a dealmaker,
the president has only ever had one tool to control his party: fear.
GOP politicians have been afraid of career damage and literal physical harm if they crossed him.
Trump is not above reminding elected officials that he has unhinged followers who are known to be violent.

A painting of blindfolded Lady Justice, kneeling before an executioner under a spotlight. Above her, nine judges vote on her fate: six give a thumbs down, and three give a thumbs up, shouting at the other six in outrage. Justice holds a broken set of golden scales in one hand, papers and gold coins spilling to the ground. Her other hand reaches for a sword on the ground beside her, straining against shackles. https://bsky.app/profile/eranfowler.bsky.social/post/3m3ath2dlvk2h https://www.redbu…

Update on the thread above:
I’m not seeing this pattern anymore; the sharp boundaries no longer show up where you look at where ICE is hurting people. It now has more of the feeling you’d expect it to have if they were targeting people based on race, instead of based on political boundaries. Whatever pattern I was noticing above, real or imagined, it doesn’t hold now.

Content warning: Brief rant on AI & capitalism

We are cooked.
We were always a problem for the ones above: we had the opportunity to enjoy high levels of education, access to relatively free & unpolluted knowledge, and welfare systems that worked relatively well for at least half of our lifes.
That was unacceptable, and "AI" is here to fix that.
Big Tech and their fascist friends have convinced many among our younger generations about the idea that "AI" (in its current form) is cool, amazing, necessary, and unstoppable.
We can resist all we want, except it's not our resistance that matters, but the resistance of the younger ones who haven't finished their formal studies yet.
Mozilla's CEO knows it... so he'll happily contribute to dumb us down as much as possible (before anyone has time to react) to ensure that we don't bother ever again the fragile sensibilites of his friends, our capitalist overlords.

It's just that as an INTJ, these illogical actions of yours...well, I find them to be amusing. What's that? A free sample of your store's new crispened potato snacks? Not necessary.

Local community groups? Busting their asses, but they live and die on volunteer support. Legal system? Too slow, too compromised. City, county, state elected officials? Grasping for something they can do. Local police? Useless or worse than useless, of course.
BUT…all the above are formed by, shaped by, and constrained by popular sentiment. An active, defiant citizenry changes how all these institutions behave. Police know, politicians know, and yes, even judges know: they can only stray so far from what people will tolerate.
This active resistance? Hell yeah, it matters. It’s the short-term •and• the long-term.

Working on improving error reporting in ngscopeclient rather than having filters simply silently produce no output, or log to stdout, when something goes wrong.
Here's my current WIP: the block that has problems displays a warning icon and summary title up top, then you can mouse over it to see more detailed error information.
Thoughts? Anything I should change before I start working on adding this sort of feedback to more filter blocks?

Screenshot of a ngscopeclient filter graph with an eye pattern block displaying an exclamation point icon and the text "missing inputs" above it. A tooltip next to this message reads "No clock input connected".
