This is the sixth death in ICE custody in 18 days.
This isn’t enforcement,
it’s a system that cages people,
outsources care,
and shrugs when they die.
Abolish ICE.

"People should not "blindly trust" everything AI tools tell them, the boss of Google's parent company Alphabet told the BBC.
In an exclusive interview, chief executive Sundar Pichai said that AI models are "prone to errors" and urged people to use them alongside other tools.
Mr Pichai said it highlighted the importance of having a rich information ecosystem, rather than solely relying on AI technology."

Don't blindly trust what AI tells you, Google boss tells BBC
Sundar Pichai candidly acknowledged concerns about inaccurate answers generated by Google's models.

Added a zoom level to the Category page on the Exocortex-Log app. Can make the graphs look a lot cleaner now.
Looking back over the last 100 months here, we can see in general my social life is quite seasonal -- Festivals are a lot of social all weekend long and a couple of them in a month really bumps up the hours from my usual habit of sitting alone in a dark room pressing buttons.
The peak in 2019 is a summer filled with Glasto and Noisily and another festival or camping trip I don’t seem to have recorded the name of.
Then clearly visible is the drop-off in social activity as the COVID pandemic hit. Virtual-Social (IE zoom meetings and the like) picked up quite a bit around there but had died back to almost nothing way before the hours spent with actual people started to tick up.
Annoyingly, I have my biggest gap in data right on top of the pandemic there, where I failed to back up for months and then data became corrupted.
When the data-hole is over we see social life still not really returning until the middle of 2021 and not really getting back into stride until summer 2022.
It remains much lower now on average with lower peaks than before the pandemic too. Multiple reasons.
Work is pretty constant all the way though other than the data-hole. Dipping when I take time off for social mostly.
That data-hole is annoying. Back up your data kids.

People played the Frozen soundtrack to drown them out
Lang appears to be yelling anti-Muslim phrases on his megaphone, but it’s difficult to hear what he’s actually saying. Dozens of people, including ones from the media, are around him as he stumbles from one side of the street to the other.
Jake Lang trying to hit people with what appears to be a curtain rod
Lang is stuck in a window recess against Minneapolis City Hall. He’s soaked with freezing water after counterprotesters hurled water balloons at him.
Big ups to whoever got Lang with a water gun LMAO

FYI, the temperature in Minneapolis is about 10°F / -12°C.

Savvy people are readying themselves for BlueSky's demise

I'm on Bluesky but also on Mastodon. I hate to say it, but from past experience I'm not confident that Bluesky will remain the paradise that it is forever. It's not a bad idea to get familiar with Mastodon and least establish a presence there. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

I guess we can look forward to physical fitness tests for marriage in the US.

I expect the straight, white, and employed checks will come in other channels.

Here's Trump judicial nominee Justin Olson today, admitting than in 2015, he gave a sermon in which he said that “marriage was not intended for all people,” including “our handicapped friends or our persons with physical disabilities that might prevent the robust marriage that we’re called to.”

IDK if you can’t make games without making unethical shortcuts (labor exploitation, never-ending crunch, AI plagiarism, etc.) because otherwise you’d need “300 people and 7 years”, maybe work on making games that are better?
A lot of the really big games of the last decades were initially made by just a few people with really great basic game loops.

We watched all of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and Smiley's People in the last couple of weeks. These are the Alec Guinness BBC series, and i have to point to them and say what fantastic TV this is even though it is now dated.
You could not make series in this way anymore - it is so calm and laid back but with so much tension. There are many scenes where now they would insist on a 10 minute car chases for dramatical tension.
It's all on BBC Iplayer - Recommended.

So…my first retail job was at a place the city HATED*, and would occasionally send cops in to “check” on the place (it’s open 24/7) and the owner told us to tell them to get out
Getting to tell a cop to pound sand and GTFO at 2am was a true joy.
*it’s still there 40 years later 😂
