@katrinamanson.bsky.social I’m enjoying reading your new book, Project Maven. I’m not sure what’s in store, but up to chapter 7, it’s an interesting and absorbing read and I recommend it.
#Technology #surveillance Say what you will about ICE but they know their technology. You should know it too. This is from the Washington Post: apple.news/AZUkTiQ9cTrm...
The powerful tools in ICE’s arsenal to track suspects — and protesters — The Washington Post
Biometric trackers, cellphone location databases and drones are among the surveillance technologies agents are using in their immigration enforcement campaign.

Who are these #ICE agents? How many were participants in January 6th insurrection?
@ayesharascoe.bsky.social Since u bought your house, I take you seriously when you are inspired (influenced) in a podcast. Here is your 2nd (third?) act: a Black “Interview” podcast with folks of all genres, perhaps unknown or unsung, to popularize black talent of all kinds. But hate to see u go…
@carrot-app.bsky.social Carrot: The Musical! Next year on Apple TV!
@mtgarena.com Could we please have a baby sticker?
Putin & Trump didn’t want Zelenskyy to come because he would have tattled and told the deets about how big a nothing burger the summit was.
@mtgarena.com Who writes the PATCH NOTES? They really are funny! I was feeling pretty beat up and sad and then I read them & now I feel *mostly* better.
June 14 is #Trump ‘s b-day. Let’s all wear black.
@southernsorcery.bsky.social Has anyone made any MTG icons suitable for text replacement with iOS keyboard? Like for each of the colors of mana, etc?
@phantasticgeek.bsky.social Hollywood Reporter tells of bidding war for coming Apple movie on UFOs, of all things! What else is strange about NJ? :)
@phantasticgeek.bsky.social What news is there on the script front? Have you tried something apart from our podcast subjects? Any nibbles?
Anybody know about any #antiTrumpDemonstrations happening in their towns and neighborhoods?
@phantasticgeek.bsky.social Pretty sure you can post videos here.
@phantasticgeek.bsky.social Was listening to your episode on comfort shows. ER is better than I thought, so thanks for that! It reminds me of an old all-time tv favorite of mine-“Northern Exposure”. Seen it?
Who wants to put their savings in a bank that invests in #bitcoin?
#curious about what ID cards people carry around with them when they go out? What IDs are not necessary to carry around except for special instances? Thanks.
@support.bsky.team Has anyone considered a Trending section? Also, I don’t like X-style notifications, such as “I don’t believe it!” containing no content, but a few good notifications a day would be nice.
@phantasticgeek.bsky.social anyone else here interested in a #NewFeature of #surveys on Bluesky?
I played my first #MTG MWM today. In 4 games, I won 3! I was worried I would need to play all day to earn 3 wins! #newThingsCanBeScary
@cfavrettojr.bsky.social I recently found the Magic Story podcast. While waiting for Foundation to be released, I anticipated some explanatory episodes, as Foundations was supposed to orient newbies like me. Sadly, only 1 short summary. Where should I start to learn the lore and backstories? Thanks
@lutimestwo.bsky.social Looks like we’re finally turning the tide. Good times!
@scalzi.com Think that maybe there WAS an Interdependency series, or at least a knock-off. Not called that, the Duke and Cardenia don’t die, the church also has an AI “personage” like the emperoxes do, and a different ending! Does anyone else remember this show besides me?
@scalzi.com Oh noes! l finished the Interdependency trilogy, but it’s not the ending I thought I remembered! Is there a fourth book or short story ending I’m missing?
@scalzi.com Has anyone tried, or been interested in trying to make a tv series from #TheInterdependencySeries? Just finishing it (for the second time). Clever, well designed and s o o o o funny! Thank you for writing it!
@noisyastronomer.bsky.social I would check it out, but sadly, the blog is NOT back.
@marthawells.bsky.social SO GLAD YOU ARE FEELING BETTER!!!! Murderbot series LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE B R A V O!!! Thank You
If I use Mastodon, I can’t connect to a Threads person’s address with it yet? Do you think Threads would be able to track people connecting to it from other distributed servers such as Mastodon servers?
I think Bluesky ought to share the same distributed protocol as Mastodon and Threads. https://techcrunch.com/2023/07/06/mastodon-bluesky-protocol-twitter-elon-musk/
