More human than human: the making of Ex Machina's incredible robot | The Verge
Highly recommend a rewatching of this in light of the current miasma of insurgent AI. If you haven't seen it, get up on it.
I've already seen it 2-3 times but it had been awhile. Andrea knew nothing about it and we went in cold. I don't think there's even a title card. She was pretty floored. It's an amazing film.

me in a gasmask and protective goggles
Finally, FINALLY found protective over-the-glasses goggles that work with a extra wide glasses AND a gasmask.
The company is NOCRY. I have their kneepads too and they are awesome.

are they ballistic grade? also are you planning on shaving?
@williwaw I doubt I could take a shot. Also I'll shave when if I get serious.
(if don't already know) be careful out there then if they're using sponge grenades & other non-lethals, which can turn goggles into eye killers

Learn how to do a respirator seal check, folks
alt text
I'm coming at this from an entire career having to use gas masks as well as from the BLM protests, and I've worked around compounds that can genuinely kill you with <100 PPM so I've had some pretty hardcore training. With all the interest in "gas masks" out there these days I'm really frustrated that 2 very important components to respirator safety aren't being addressed as often as they could be in all the advice, which is why I'm offering it here:
1) Learn how to do a respirator seal check, both positive and negative. Practice doing so quickly. Also, and this comes from experience - unless you genuinely have to run as quickly as you can - taking that moment to do a seal check once you have your respirator on can be a calming and grounding moment to help you keep a clear head in most situations.
and 2) Practice, practice, and practice putting it on. A good way is to wear it around your neck around the house and have a friend or partner shout "gas" at random intervals. You'll be surprised at how much time you can reduce by doing so, which means in a real world situation you'll be available to help others or film or whatever else needs to be doing. (Once you're good at it, this also means that you can have it on you instead of wearing it the whole time you're out there, which can get tiring quickly as well as affect filter and strap life.)
And for some of what they're using out there folks, YOU MUST HAVE THE RIGHT FILTERS. And let's just say they're starting to use more and more hardcore substances.
Not having a correct seal and/or the right filters will make things WORSE for you by trapping substances/particulates against your skin and inside the mask, causing you to inhale them. (And I hate to say it, but this means that you have to shave, guys. Or else you're just wasting your money.)

I'm a big fan of the 3M secure-click line of respirators. They have a built in negative seal check button, a speaking diaphragm, and the new filters have more airflow.
downside: the new filters are more expensive.
@williwaw, what cartridges do you recommend for what gases? I've seen conflicting information on whether standard organic vapor cartridges will help with the newer gases, or if acid gas carts are required? I may just say 'fuck it' and get cartridges that are good for both.

p.s. guys, if you don't want to shave, you can get a PAPR, but those pretty much start at $500. PAPR mask/helmets can also be easily removed by fasc if you aren't careful, exposing you to the hazard.
So true.

Hail Mary
alt text
A sticker on a graffitied electrical box. The sticker has a white background with a red border. It shows a woodcut illustration of Mary (from the bible, not sure how else to explain) in blue with red beams (blood?) coming from her hands, the left side hitting a snake with the word 'I.C.E.' on its body. To Mary's left red letters say "Hail Mary Full of Grace" and on her right "Kick I.C.E. Out of This Place".
More great Ice Out art.
Hail Mary, full of guac, please protect everyone from fascists, especially the parking lot enchilada lady and the taco truck guy and the paletas cart dudes.
@grantbarrett Hell yes, and their kids, wives, & parents. ♡
@grantbarrett @0y3ahSansAcut3 I still think about how shitler's "there'll be taco trucks on every corner" comment should have led to a Clinton landslide.

I love this, but it's more likely 30K, not 3 :(
Toward the end of the singing resistance action on Sunday we passed Iranian Americans demonstrating about this. It was a stark reminder that while we’re going through trauma, others around the world are too. There were some touching moments between the two groups.
If it's from government reports, this is the list of people they **admit** to killing.

My Cousin in the Washington Post
alt text
A big hairy guy who happens to be Jer's cousin speaks with a police officer during protests in Minneapolis in a photo printed in the Washington Post. The caption reads "Minneapolis Police officers confront counterprotesters after right-wing provocateur Jake Lang's anti-immigration demonstration outside City Hall on Jan 17, 2026" but this is misleading as the interaction was not confrontational at all.
My cousin Alex has been active in the anti-ICE protests in Minneapolis and wound up in the WaPo over the weekend. Sadly, the caption was misleading. He tells me that he and the officer were actually having a civil conversation about how the high rate of turnover in the force since 2020 gives MPD a chance to raise the bar for themselves and build a better relationship with the community they're supposed to be protecting and serving.
Tell your cousin thank you from another Minnesotan.
big love to him for engaging in a civil conversation. hopefully we can keep having more of them each day and cling to this democracy with our fingernails
