ICE agents reveal daily arrest quotas and surveillance app in rare court testimony
Under oath, officers said they were told to make eight arrests a day and given special tech to help choose ‘targets’
When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.

But instead of new thinking, we have this. Try to imagine Republicans having a glitzy 3 day conference whose primary themes were that conservatives are bad, voters hate conservatives, conservatives are why we lose, and please do not run as a conservative. The mind boggles, truly.

Dark money group offers influencers $1,500 for posts attacking Chicago Democratic primary candidate
Progressive House candidate Kat Abughazaleh told MS NOW the secretive campaign is “filled with false and defamatory claims.”
HOLY SHIT.
A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election.
Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?

Having a day. My Apple pencil is having issues and another stylus I have for a different device I just dropped right on the nib and completely destroyed. Fuck me for wanting to draw today I guess.

As you use AI to simplify easy yet mundane tasks, like writing emails, you get increasingly dependent on it.
You get lazy, less skilled, use your brain less, and (you may not want to hear this) get stupider as a result.
Don’t let them take away your ability to think. Stop using it. Now.

We see a future where we own your bones. Your bones are a utility, like electricity or water, which really should be free for everyone anyway but I digress, you pay us to use your bones because we enjoy owning things that singular humans have no right to own. Maybe we'll buy your eyes next, I dunno.

Morgan demonstrating her using a breast-feeding pillow, a U-shaped pillow designed for breast-feeding, but instead she is holding a switch and resting it with one hand. Her hands and arms look comfortable and she doesn’t have to hold up the switch on its own..
Pro Tip for gamers with CFS, arthritis, carpal tunnel, and related: Breastfeeding pillows are extremely ergonomic for handheld gaming. The $50 that keeps on giving 😄✨

It's a major plotline in Banned Book Club, my wife and I's book about her experiences fighting fascism in 1980s Korea, that even a dictator wouldn't ban kids from reading White Fang.
Guess what, these nerds let their AI ban kids from reading White Fang.

A woman that is drawing in a tablet looks disgusted and push her hand in front of her as a sign of not wanting the Censorship code.
Text in the poster says
"NO!
Payment processors don't get to dictate what you create."
"Together we can fight this puritan moral panic, join now! For a free internet."
Considering recent development in paypros bullshitery I remember people that they are free to use these pieces I made however your feel fit, pasten around your banks and mastercard's HQ.

Sister in law loves swans because one chased off a goose who was after her. Likely was just being territorial in a way that happened to benefit her but still kind of a cool story.

That's really interesting. In my head that makes me think that's Hell as a carnival but hell isn't where people go to be damned, it's where the angels go to feel anything because heaven is pointless without contrasting experiences.

‘Age Verification’ could force trans people to out themselves to use the internet
Automated online ID checking systems add new potential dangers to having a mismatching ID.
New for @theverge.com: i wrote about how Kansas' trans ID law and the "age verification" systems popping up everywhere tie into larger efforts to force trans people to out themselves both IRL and online
