In case you missed it, acting ICE head Tom Homan was up yesterday complaining that ICE is having a hard time meeting the quotas they're setting because of campaigns telling people their rights and how to resist raids.

In case you're wondering if the little things you do could possibly make a difference, know that they already are.

This is outstanding, utterly damning work by the WaPo. (Get this guest link out in the world please.)

I would like to unironically thank Elon Musk for taking an almost unimaginable amount of wealth from this list of terrible people and vaporizing it.

Wow yeah that is like peak GNOME attitude right there.

Also as I've said before GNOME is a terrible pick for a tablet. Because of the hardware limitations, a tablet absolutely has to have a coherent user interface, and GNOME is a lot of things, but its very design principles from the beginning have been almost decidedly anti-coherency.

I would have considered putting some dev cash into getting Elementary to work on tablets. But what do I know. . .

@aral

Putting GNOME on a tablet seems like . . . a really bad idea.

Tablets are just screaming out for a for more restrictive, prescriptive UI framework. And GNOME is very much not that.

Off to church to help replace the Pride decorations that someone decided to tear down and trash this week.

@aral I have written some amazing code between the hours of 1 and 4 in the morning. Seriously.

As much as I loved X11 30 years ago its time has long since come and gone. Absolutely sucks about the screen reader though.

I really appreciate how the authors don't fuck around with the kicker.

"So, in short, social inequality causes stress, leading to shortened telomeres and, in turn, premature aging, disease and early death."

I am grateful for all the work done to realize just how much stress and injustice drive so many contemporary ills.

This is a gift link so no paywall. Please boost widely as I think this is a superb article that many would enjoy.
