New Green Plenty post: Gratitude
Well I did another one. This one's called the Elephant in the Room, an' it's about Jezza. https://www.greenplenty.info/the-elephant-in-the-room/

Message in a bottle time again #GetFediHired #jobsearch #needwork. Might have to add smoke signals, sky writing, and shortwave radio (via @va2nw ?) channels to get the word out.
Growing increasingly needy in search for software developer work in the #Ottawa #Montreal areas. #C #C# #Erlang #Java #NodeJS #Forth #Shell #SQL #BSD #Linux #English #French and more. Very versatile, adaptable, experienced. I cook too; every office should have someone who can make Neapolitan style #pizzas for team lunches & parties.
Here is the Web URL for the site archiving ICE arrests, that Apple is now censoring from their app store
Spread the word.
DHH is now officially attracting all the shitbags out there.

We fetishize the 22-year-old founder and the 30-under-30 list.
But the masterpiece that made Kurt Vonnegut came at 47.
The truth is, you've still got time.

New Green Plenty post: Gratitude
I haven’t been following what’s going on with your party because I’m a member of the greens and I don’t care. Craig Murray explaining the current battle over creating something with no democratic control at all does not fill me with any sense of anticipation. https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2025/09/its-your-party-and-ill-cry-if-i-want-to/

After a long hiatus I've written another Green Plenty post.
This one's called Nobody Left Behind. A principle we need more of in these dark times.
Enjoy.
You remember when everyone (including AI firms) claimed that "Hallucinations" would soon be solved and I got so much shit for arguing that they are a structural property of LLMs?
Now OpenAI releases a paper stating the same and just gets to move on (with all its sycophants).
Really fucking annoys me.
'... the repulsive essence has remained the same. Namely using racism and xenophobia to drive divisions between the working classes, and to distract us from the system of class-based exploitation that’s actually causing most of our problems.'
Why is it that so many, whether deliberately or through ignorance are pointing the finger in entirely the wrong direction?
Cold weather payments not been cut because of immigration. The government are not attacking the disabled because of the working poor. It not the fault of those in poverty that food and energy bills are rising.
I wish more folk would stop and think about what is really going on and who is doing very well in a time of austerity for the rest of us.

@bobjmsn best ignored. No publicity.
@DrALJONES Yes,
https://americandragnet.org/ has a full report.
"ICE spent roughly $97 million on data brokers in this period [2017-2021]. The primary contractor that has provided this service is Thomson Reuters, which offers a person-search database called CLEAR."
I would wager even after switching to LexisNexis, ICE kept the data from Reuters. There's no way they washed their hands of that and it not contibuting to what we see now. Sealed records from 12 years were used in one recent arrest.
@DrALJONES Reuters has turned out to be a blatantly pro-fascist, pro-genocide organization that directly, materially aided in the current ICE kidnappings as well.
