The only reason Trump was able to convince ICE agents to be as violent as they are is because they were already a lawless. They never cared about the law before, now they really don't.
"Revolution is indeed a violent process. But if it is to result only in a change of dictatorship, in a shifting of names and political personalities, then it is hardly worth while."

During Covid I found a bunch of great podcasts and also streamers. I'll be honest, I really enjoyed them. It seems this year there is a drop off of the shows and streamers. Whatever they are returning to normal life or better things. Now I face an entertainment drought.
"Update about Alfarisi bin Rikosen, 21 years old, arrested in Surabaya on 9th September 2025: Today, 7 January 2026, Alfarisi’s family have stated through Alfarisi’s brother and Alfarisi’s lawyer, that Alfarisi did not have any medical condition, as claimed and
well the generic ebay fuel pressure regulator for the civic turned out to be a lot more trouble than it was worth. the FPR itself seems ok but the fittings were junk. all of them leaked in the internal o-ring seals. just had to change out the last one due to a nasty leak. i woke up smelling fuel this morning. yuck!

“Those who are against Fascism without being against capitalism, who lament over the barbarism that comes out of barbarism, are like people who wish to eat their veal without slaughtering the calf. They are willing to eat the calf, but they dislike the sight of blood. They are easily satisfied if the butcher washes his hands before weighing the meat.”
i think responding to people protesting the cops executing people in the street for no reason by saying they are "taking the bait" is profoundly disrespectful
Ya know what? I've got nothing to lose at this point. Here's the deal:
My wife wasn't able to pay for most of her fall tuition. About $8200 US in total. Without that she can't register for spring classes. If she doesn't register by Tuesday January 13th, she gets kicked out. We have explored every possible path we can think of to get that money and nothing has been fruitful.
This school was the first step in her life dream. Losing this has hit her like a truck. I don't know what's left to do in order to make things right. Any and all advice is welcome at this point.
Edit: ok now that I'm slightly more awake let me add a few details.
We both work full time at desent paying jobs.
We have tried various loan options but none even come close to what we would need.
She has already taken 1 semester leave in the past and they won't allow another.
She has been on regular communication with the schools financial team to work something out. Yesterday we exhausted our final option from them.
Thank you to everyone who has commented with any kind of suggestions or even well wishes. Unfortunately, I think this may just be the end of the road here.
Edit 2: because I completely forgot to mention. This is not for new classes. This is for LAST semesters fees that haven't been paid yet. She cannot register for ANY new classes or financial aid until that balance is paid off.

Talk to any tow truck driver and they’ll tell you: you can do parking enforcement or you can help people when they break down. It’s hard to do both because, once people associate you with an expensive trip to the impound lot, they’ll push their car to the shop rather than call you.

If you are depressed about your company buying Microsoft 365 Copilot (the one for Office - I know they have multiple products with the same product name) or Security Copilot, don’t be.
Companies are very good at buying Microsoft products and then never deploying them properly, and/or renewing them without using them.
Enterprise IT is basically a yearly cycle of “do we need to renew this PO?” followed by “I dunno if anybody uses it but just renew it in case they do or politics”.
I’ve talked to loads of orgs who renew Darktrace each year, knowing nobody uses it, as the CISO has too much political capital to lose by admitting they purchased a turkey.
Microsoft IT had a load of products they renew which they didn’t use either. Nexthink was one. 🤷♀️
No matter what, steps were made instead of succumbing to bed rot. Just tell yourself you'll try for 6000 next week. It'll be okay Fiesta, your brain is just telling you it won't, because it's favourite hobby is lying to you.

Jan 10, 2026 @15:03 Good afternoon family & friends❣️ It has been a busy day so far, I got up at about 11:00 after my 10-hour nap, and worked on laundry - a task that has been going on FAR too long this week! Zoey came and did her usual help around the house (combing Maisie, vacuuming, and dusting/wiping down surfaces), and her dad did some outside work that needed to be done. We had lost all of our snow to the mild weather the last few days but we have some lovely big flakes falling heavily now and it is starting to accumulate. I'm about to have something to eat - leftovers - because I keep forgetting to feed myself lately hahaha - then I will come back and do a Saturday Social post and, of course, Caturday. So I will see you in a little while, I hope that your weekend is going well so far❣️🙌✝️🎶😆🥩🌿💐👴👵🐕🦺🦜

Farking exhausted as I only got about 4-5 hours sleep and can't fall back asleep. To top things off I have tickets to 2 shows tonight that I really don't have the energy for. Both shows are a string quartet the first doing the music of Fleetwood Mac, and the second doing a Queen vs. ABBA performance.
Videos Show How ICE Vehicle Stops Can Escalate to Shootings
A WSJ visual investigation found that the Minneapolis ICE killing is one of 13 incidents where federal immigration agents have used deadly force against civilians in vehicles since July
WSJ investigation: In the past 6 months ICE agents have fired at vehicles 13 times, leading to:
8 people shot
5 of which were U.S. citizens
2 died
no victims drew a weapon
The playbook: Agents box in a vehicle, block attempts to flee, then fire
Getting tired of seeing posts on Mastodon by European men scolding people that they should be more polite, or that if someone categorizes some people as “bad guys” then that makes THEM the bad guys, etc.
Maybe sit down and listen instead, huh? Your privilege is showing.
I don’t know if you noticed, but some people don’t want others to exist, or to exist only in a state of misery and subservience. THESE ARE BAD GUYS. You can’t reason with them, because their position is not one built on logic, but dominance. They don’t deserve politeness, only PUBLIC SHUNNING and RESISTANCE. Being rude to them is good and proper, and healthy for the world.
I swear if I have to read another Dutch man lecture me, a person born in Indonesia—a nation the Dutch colonized and exploited for centuries—about being polite…
Despite breathless headlines warning of a robot takeover in the workforce, a new research briefing from Oxford Economics casts doubt on the narrative that artificial intelligence is currently causing mass unemployment.
According to the firm’s analysis, “firms don’t appear to be replacing workers with AI on a significant scale,” suggesting instead that companies may be using the technology as a cover for routine headcount reductions. fortune.com/2026/01/07/ai-layo…
"Firms don't appear to be replacing workers with AI on a significant scale," the firm said. It suspects some are trying to "dress up layoffs" as good news.

one thing about the reform/revolution dichotomy and marxists who think that only revolution can change things is that it ignores the degree to which "reforms" (ie improvements in the here and now) is that the *cost* of reversing a reform can vary dramatically
there's a massive difference between a state policy (however initially popular) and mechanisms supported by many different parts of society and that is built into the technical infrastructure of society itself

This is the hands down best VDH I've listened to. Hanson is to me, a sad tragic Nostradamus that has had to live through what he predicted. A sort of Churchill in the Wilderness Years. You see the sadness in his face. He is seeing a pattern that he has studied throughout history and he is spot on.

Despite one of the steepest drops in net migration in recent British history, most of the public believes immigration is still rising. The disconnect is stark, data-driven—and politically consequential.
The seizure of two tankers carrying Venezuelan oil is a further escalation of Donald Trump’s war policy. While British prime minister Keir Starmer denied involvement in the earlier attack on Caracas, this time Britain actively joined the operation.
