I wrote a story. It starts:
He woke up, looking forward to finally fishing. He’s retired, even though he feels like he could keep doing the work, and now, finally, he has the chance to go out on his boat, with a beer and his rod to catch something. Maybe if he catches enough he can fill the whole freezer set up in the basement. Fresh frozen fish for months.
The rest of it:

I'm old enough to remember that the US and UK supported a coup against Iran's democratically elected Prime Minister Mossadegh, after he nationalised the country's oil industry. And replaced him with the authoritarian Shah Reza Pahlavi.

But not for the warmth.. Tomorrow I'm taking the first stage of the journey to Antarctica, ironically enough though, I'm heading south by first heading north, to Oslo, where the Norwegian Polar Institute have organised an almost direct flight from Oslo to Troll station with a short stopover in Cape Town. Bags almost packed and ready to go... I'm super excited and also suffering a little trepidation.

“…what we’re witnessing is the express repetition of a project on the scale of the larger concentration camp systems in history—the Soviet Gulag, the Nazi concentration camps, and Chinese labor camps in the People’s Republic of China. The administration is actively aspiring to a system of that magnitude to reshape society to its racial, political and cultural preferences for generations to come.
This is not just a fantasy. It is something for which the administration has acquired the funding and a path forward. It lacks only the personnel and enough detention spaces.”
A sense of humor keen enough to show a man his own absurdities will keep

People are getting really confused about this. When I say “pretext,” I don’t mean for individual ICE officers. I mean that the Trump regime still (!!) does not have enough popular support and political cover to cross certain lines. They’re finding themselves genuinely stymied by federal courts and state govs, Congress is getting less (not more!) quiescent, they’re finding themselves unable to control the press, and popular support is collapsing.
Saying “the situation is already extremely dire” is true and important. Saying “they’ve already achieved total authoritarian control” is wrong, dangerous, and an invitation to give up when we most need people active.

Looking at a recent Hobson's Pledge post on FB commenting derisively on Tania Waikato's potential political future, it occurs to me that Hobson's Pledge is a great example of one thing: Bigotry is just applied ignorance unjustified entitlement.

Chrome now has a bug where if a web page pops up "log in with Google" it happens in the browser UI, not in the web page UI. And it freezes things up enough so Ctrl-W no longer works to close the tab while the "log in" dialog is displayed.

I've just finished a modestly onerous administrative task.
It lead me to think about effort and the 3 legs of my job: research, teaching and admin: While there are intrinsic reasons to do research and teaching to the best of your ability, for admin "good enough" is enough. Focus on efficiency not excellence, where efficiency includes making things work, not causing extra hassle in the medium term.
This has allowed me to make clear something that's been at the back of my mind. Something that is at the heart of so much blind stupidity in big tech.
It's the assumption that we will change one thing and all else will be the same.
In this case, we will fire lots and lots of employees all over the world and we will make lots of profit. We're smart enough to make the AI, and we're dumb enough to think that there will only be one consequence. 1/n
The most obvious tell of this sort of incident is the phone call.
The only IT or #infosec folks who will proactively call you about an attempt at hijacking an account are those of your employer or *maybe* your access provider.

When "self-driving" cars were first getting some hype back in ~2015 or so, I told people who asked me that I didn't think they'd be safe, and that I wished the same money were being invested in driver-assistance systems instead.
At the time, advocates were claiming that self-driving cars would be safer than human drivers.
We now have both self-driving cars and some nifty new driver assistance things, and it turns out that the self-driving cars are in fact being developed by corporations whose attention to the bottom line results in danger to others on the road pretty regularly. I don't actually have stats here for whether they're "safer than human drivers" or not, but the opportunity for one bad software update to make *all* self-driving cars dangerous at once kinda makes me doubt that.
Here's an example of Waymo cars getting "more aggressive" as they try to balance between being too timid and obstructing traffic (including emergency vehicles) and being too dangerous:
https://archive.ph/JJuGv
Here's another example of passing stopped schoolbusses leading to a software recall:
https://abcnews.go.com/GMA/News/waymo-issue-voluntary-software-recall-after-close-calls/story?id=128207776
In the first article, Waymo claims 91% fewer serious accidents per mile. Obviously an independent audit would be actually trustworthy, but even if we take that claim at face value, it's meaningless if an update tomorrow causes 100,000 accidents.
Note that they could be using better engineering practices, and the fact that they aren't shows that they don't care enough about the risks. They could be deploying new software versions incrementally and slowly, letting new versions rack up lots of miles only on a few vehicles before pushing them to a fleet. The should also have the equivalent of a simulation unit test for "schoolbus is stopped, what do?" and if a software version fails that test, it doesn't make it to the fleet. Clearly they don't have that.
I feel pretty vindicated in my earlier prediction that this tech is a bad idea in the hands of the current advocates.

Idiocracy didn’t go nearly far enough.
Everything is connected.
In Ukraine, innocents suffer because of US corruption, greed, and cruelty, while in the US, innocents suffer because of the Kremlin corruption, greed, and cruelty.

Australia should ban *everyone* from social media next, and maybe also make it difficult to leave the country without a Good Reason (beyond the extent to which it already is). Maybe the UK could follow suit. Then, Ireland would fall in line, because they're not creative enough to come up with their own ideas for laws. Just imagine the harmony in the Anglosphere thereafter. It would be lovely.

A lot of people will call shunning Amazon, Meta, etc "purity politics". According to them, since no company is perfect, we should just give up having lines, since there is no ethical consumption under capitalism.
Alternatively, it can be seen as exercising whatever little direct power we have, as individuals, to stop funding the machines that are killing us and making us poorer. It's not enough, but it's certainly a start.

It’s nothing to do with immigration. It’s about the would-be dictator having his own private military that:

- with unpredictably violent behavior
- applied indiscriminately
