The kind of expert Waffle House hires or feeds:

among roughly two dozen workers and regulars interviewed this week at Rome’s three Waffle House locations, none said they were aware of anyone traveling to the 24-hour restaurants by paranormal means,

 

The NYT was roundly mocked for the original headline and has now changed it to

No One at Waffle House Remembers FEMA Official Who Says He Teleported In

 

The struggle to manufacture transformers, switchgear and batteries domestically has forced the US to rely on imports, delaying data center construction.

 

All of this—doling out relatively cheap dress shoes to a group of people disproportionately populated by billionaires, signing the boxes, inspiring fear of reprisal for wearing your own wingtips instead—is strange enough. Stranger still, though, is that the shoes (in some cases, very obviously) do not fit.

 

On Friday afternoon, Anthropic learned that the Pentagon still wanted to use the company’s AI to analyze bulk data collected from Americans. That could include information such as the questions you ask your favorite chatbot, your Google search history, your GPS-tracked movements, and your credit-card transactions, all of which could be cross-referenced with other details about your life.

Yeah, archive.today came out of gamergate, so there's a very good chance that the owner sees their mission as being to help jumpstart fascism. In a world where the truth is paywalled but the lies are free, becoming more useful on the left might have been a real problem for them.

Printing isn't enough, but it's a piece of what needs to happen.

Its hard to import them in quantities of a few hundred thousand, and cheaper to print them than to buy in quantities of a hundred

Literally happening at scale already. Its not yet full victory, but it slows down ICE and limits their ability to take people at random

Intentional deescalation does more right now than having the people closest to ICE or Border Patrol agents carrying weapons.

Anywhere in public is great. If you're in a place where ICE is less active, you'll want to package the whistles with instructions to alert the local rapid response hotline.

Its a gift link. Unless you're doing something fairly uncommon, like removing the gift token, access is free. You can also use one of the various archive sites

3M in particular sells a lot of filters designed for particular industrial chemicals, but which might not do much for tear gas. The 60921 should work.
