The Labor Department warned in an obscure document filed with the Federal Register last week that
“the near total cessation of the inflow of illegal aliens” is threatening “the stability of domestic food production and prices for U.S. consumers.”

“Unless the Department acts immediately to provide a source of stable and lawful labor, this threat will grow,” the Labor Department said

Trump administration says immigration enforcement threatens higher food prices
U.S. farmers face labor shortages and potential food price hikes due to Trump’s immigration policy, the administration acknowledged in a Federal Registry document.

Fun observation: The CONFIG and CALIB registers on the PIC12F683 contain 12 documented bits each.
The physical die layout, however, contains 25 fuse cell instances not 24. So there is one undocumented bit, perhaps a chicken bit for something or an extra calibration setting, or maybe a parity check over some or all of the other fuses.
If it's an actual config bit my money is on bit 5 of CALIB which is documented as unimplemented/RAZ.

RFSeek and Ye Shall Find
Requests for Comments (RFCs) are extensive specification documents for network protocols, but their prose-based format and their considerable length often impede precise operational understanding. We present RFSeek, an interactive tool that automatically extracts visual summaries of protocol logic from RFCs. RFSeek leverages large language models (LLMs) to generate provenance-linked, explorable diagrams, surfacing both official state machines and additional logic found only in the RFC text. Com…

Ukraine’s strikes dismantle Russia’s shadow fleet as global registries delist tankers: https://benborges.xyz/2025/12/06/ukraines-strikes-dismantle-russias-shadow.html

We all know Trumpism is an illusion, a facade, a game. His cult is breaking down as they continue to be confronted with the ever widening divergence between their perceived reality and his claims. I feel as though Dawn of Everything provides a useful lens through which to both understand this and to dismantle the ritual violence this cult is carrying out. Perhaps we can even extend this to ourselves to disentangle ourselves from the cultish elements of capitalist modernity.
Authoritarianism itself is ultimately a complex illusion, thus this analysis, the recognition and dismantling of illusion, should inform all elements of those who wish to express anti-authoritarian resistance.

Federal judge says Trump can't require proof of citizenship for voting
President Donald Trump’s request to add a documentary proof of citizenship requirement to the federal voter registration form cannot be enforced. U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly on Friday sided with Democratic and civil rights groups that had sued the Trump administration over his executive order to overhaul U.S. elections. The Washington, D.C.-based judge ruled that the proof-of-citizenship requirement is unconstitutional because it violates the separation of powers. That deals a …
