Raiders Fan Guy Fieri Doesn’t Hold Back on Fernando Mendoza https://heavy.com/sports/nfl/las-vegas-raiders/guy-fieri-comments-indiana-fernando-mendoza/

Sometimes a piece of writing says exactly what you already know, but says it so well that you relish it from begin to end anyway. This was such a piece for me.

The whole #ICE crapola going on these days is causing interesting mistakes in all kinds of reporting. There’s an article in our local newspaper (sadly, they’re owned by Gannet, but that’s another story) about a new intentional community breaking ground on a 20-acre development in town. In a description of the ultimate layout of the community there is mention (twice) of a detention pond. I’m pretty sure…

Japan Daily on Instagram: "Abandoned suitcases are becoming a growing issue at Narita Airport, where nearly 900 pieces of luggage have already been collected this fiscal year—about nine times more than four years ago. Police say around 10% of the bags are empty, suggesting intentional disposal, with storage and disposal costs ultimately borne by taxpayers. The problem extends beyond airports to train stations and public spaces, often linked to travelers avoiding disposal fees after shopping. In response, Narita Airport is testing solutions such as clothing compression machines to help travelers save space and avoid buying new luggage. Retailers and repair businesses are also encouraging reuse through free take-back and resale programs, aiming to reduce waste and promote more sustainable travel habits."

This one is worth reading from beginning to end, every sentence.

(This is not some kind of false modesty. Most of what you’re hearing from me here is just me passing along information from community channels. My personal contribution has mostly been helping communication, helping people with tech issues, doing some volunteering, keeping watch, protesting, doing neighborhood support work — that kind of stuff. I don’t want to downplay the importance of any of that. It matters a •lot• that there are so many people doing all of those things! It matters that I’m one of them! Just…you know, I’m one among many, a small player who somehow ended up holding one of the mics on Mastodon, and that’s it. The courage you see is the courage of many.)

When people from other parts of the US ask what they can do to help Minneapolis, this is the first thing I always tell them: Get organized NOW. Form your community networks NOW. You have no idea how important it’s going to be. You have no idea how much a head start will help.

The ICE invasion has served a sinister goal: it has rendered whole swaths of our community invisible. All the people hiding at home, all the businesses closed (temporarily…we hope), they’ve disappeared from the public face of our city.
Right now, Minneapolis •looks• a lot whiter than it is.
But those people in hiding •are• here. We the helpers are putting ourselves on the line because we •want• them here. They are our neighbors. They are our community.
Please don’t let ICE erase them from public life. Hear their voices.

After my repeated posts / boosts arguing that in OSS we’ve overemphasized licenses and underemphasized community, governance, and sustainability…I actually have a license question:
What’s the current thinking on licenses that lay the legal groundwork for action against people using OSS source code for LLM training without seeking permission or offering compensation?
