Melissa Gira Grant at TNR:

Late Sunday, a reported 20,000 people joined an organizing call quickly convened by Indivisible, a group founded to push back on Trump’s first administration, in response to actions largely undertaken by one of his unelected lackeys, the chaotic tech entrepreneur Elon Musk. As the call maxed out its capacity, tens of thousands more watched via YouTube. Meanwhile, outside an otherwise unexciting federal building in Washington, federal workers and D.C. residents assembled. Inside, under orders from Musk (who apparently paid his way into the president’s good graces), a small group of young men, whose only professional experience was working for one of Musk’s or Musk’s cronies’ companies, were wreaking havoc on federal payment systems. “Musk is inside the Treasury right now with his cadre of flying monkeys, and we don’t know what they’re doing,” said Indivisible co-founder Ezra Levin on the organizing call. No one seemed to know how to stop them.

But the accounts from that small protest outside the federal building, with just a few people blocking the doors—backed up by chants of “There’s a robbery in progress”—put a spotlight on the scene and gave it a story. On Monday morning, as federal workers reported lockouts from their offices, more people joined. Some protesters took to the street outside the Office of Management and Budget and blocked traffic. And the next day, Indivisible demonstrators and Democratic members of Congress gathered at the Treasury Building in opposition to Musk’s ongoing takeover, which some lawmakers were by then plainly calling an “illegal raid,” in which he “illegally seized power.” When they tried to get into Treasury on Tuesday, they were turned away. “We’re not going to allow them to steal from our people, from working-class people!” Representative Maxwell Frost said at the rally assembled outside.

In the wake of the November election, multiple news outlets ran stories suggesting that, this time, the president’s opposition were exhausted and inclined to sit this one out. But the fact that the National Mall isn’t packed with pussy-hat-wearing women does not mean that everyone has moved on. Some may have, of course, like the group of Pennsylvania women profiled in The New York Times ahead of the 2025 inauguration, whose first experience organizing was protesting Trump’s first term. (But, to be fair, we don’t know how many people in that particular demographic have really tuned out.) The story those particular protests were telling—a man who sexually assaulted women was in the White House, and himself was a threat to democracy—has only gotten more grim, more all-encompassing, in the last eight years. If anything, there is too much to protest and there are too many villains, an overwhelming number of stories competing for attention and action. But protests are, in fact, happening—and this week, more people are starting to show up.

At the same time as some lesser-known federal office buildings became sites of protest on Sunday, thousands of people across the country were turning out in opposition to Trump’s promised mass deportations and the already-escalating ICE raids: In Los Angeles (blocking the 101 Freeway), Phoenix, Las Vegas (over several days, including hundreds outside Trump’s hotel), Dallas, and Atlanta, among others. On Sunday and Monday, a few thousand people in Washington, D.C. and New York protested Trump’s attempted bans on gender-affirming care for young trans people. On Tuesday, as Trump contemplated shutting down the Department of Education by executive order, students walked out of schools in Los Angeles, and members of the Chicago Teachers Union held “walk-ins” at 100 schools, calling for protections for immigrant students, parents, and educators.

What do we know about these protests? It’s too early to make any data-based generalizations. But based on the rapid-fire research I did for this story, including going to some of these protests (both now and in the first Trump administration), they are not primarily organized under a banner of “Resist Trump.” Protests have mobilized around Trump’s orders, but they are also targeting those who are carrying out his orders, whether that’s responding to an ICE raid in their own neighborhood or to a hospital that is preemptively banning gender-affirming care. Many of these same protesters, not coincidentally, remained active no matter who was in the White House.

Their communities did not see the Biden years as a victory but as a possible reprieve. That reprieve didn’t materialize: Biden didn’t brand his deportations as Trump did, and they weren’t media spectacles, but by the numbers available, he removed as many people from the United States as Trump did in his first term. For trans people, who Biden did at least mention in some speeches and whose rights he backed in a number of executive orders, almost all of that has been undone by two weeks of Trump. The Biden years also saw a constant onslaught of attacks on trans people at the state and local level. There was nothing to sit out. Maybe, to those who deemed protesters “tired,” this resistance doesn’t look like what they expected. Perhaps they don’t see protests led by immigrants and trans people as part of the resistance, or see these as side issues—even though those are the communities Trump is specifically targeting.

The resistance to Tyrant 47 feels and looks different from Autocrat-in-Chief Trump’s first term. #Resist47 #ResistTrump

my mcyt opinions as of rn btw:

hermitcraft goated unrivaled etc

gneissname goated, technical mc players goated

presence of kennadian seawatt wifies etc usually a pretty good indication that the video will be well produced tho I generally feel like the more story-based ones are not aimed at me

PvP server trapping YouTubers & speedrun lockout challenges are junk food but tasty.

Misadventues: while I like many of the channels, feels far too much like a glitchy bukkit server, I can't get into it. part of the joy of a smp is that that the talent builds the builds idk

I wanted to like yogscast jaffa factory 2 on Duncan's channel so badly, alas. it's ok but I fell off.

pleasantly surprised by chosen architect's just create smp but in general I think there's really no good 'modded' smp right now. I think some of this is structural issues with how mods work & some is like. if u just have a building ep on ur modded smp I think ppl label it as 'no progress' where its just the expectation in vanilla that u will just build shit.

general embargo against anything with the words 'hardcore' or '10^n days'. if ur build was remarkable it wouldn't matter that it was hardcore

one exception: 'as many melons in n days' is I think fundamentally the most interesting Minecraft speedrun category to route & I am in favor of it

no-exceptions forever embargo against 'griefing a ptw mc server' & furthermore I wish death upon them. reddit brain

Anything that involves streams or stream vods: are you fucking kidding me do I look like I'm made of spare time. die die die die.

Dig For Victory!

Most people have a garden or could take on an allotment fairly near to where they live. Organising garden sharing schemes where people with gardens they can’t use team up with people who want to garden but don’t have gardens is a worthwhile step. We need to investigate ways of producing and distributing organic food in our localities in ways that maintain biodiversity and as far as possible outside the money economy. Think organic, low-impact farming won’t work? A recent study of sustainable agriculture using low-tech methods introduced on farms supporting 4m people in majority world countries revealed that food production increased 73%, crops like cassava and potato showed a 150% increase and even large ‘modern’ farms could increase production 46%. The future occupation and use of land will depend on the extent to which all who wish to do so have discussed and consented to such use, that those occupying or using the land continue to work in solidarity with the whole of society within broad principles of co-operation, sharing freely both the means of production and what is produced. No individual or group of individuals will have any ‘right’ to say “the land must be used in the way we decide” nor can what is on or under the land or produced upon it be their property, whether plant or animal. The number of people involved in agriculture (in its widest sense) will probably expand greatly, with vast estates and agri-corp holdings broken up and shared out but also urban farms created in and near towns. The aim of agriculture (and associated activities like food processing) will be self-sufficiency for the localities and specialization or growing for ‘export’ only where there is surplus land or productive forces. It is likely that neighbours, co-workers, communities and communes will collectively agree that land will be used in particular ways according to a plan or program of beneficial change. This will not always be in the direction of development or ‘efficiency’ (which will have different definitions and parameters anyway); if people need more gardens or wilderness, small-holdings instead of sheep stations, they will create them.

To many people this will sound utopian. However we believe that if this approach was developed widely – and applied to our other vital needs — it could subtly undermine the credibility and power of the global economy (as well as having obvious personal benefits in terms of health etc). It is an important part of building social solidarity and a community of resistance in majority world communities. It would be a way of showing our solidarity with these majority world movements based around issues of land use, access to resources and so on: communities of small farmers are organising seed banks to preserve crop diversity as well as launching more militant attacks on the multinationals such as trashing fields of GM cotton and destroying a Cargill seed factory. In the longer term as (hopefully) numbers and confidence increase, large long-term squats will become a possibility on land threatened by capitalist development either for roads, supermarkets, airports etc or for industrialised food production being taken back for subsistence food production and as havens of biodiversity. We should take inspiration from the Movimento Sem Terra in Brazil where in the face of severe state repression and violence hundreds of thousands of landless peasants/rural proletarians have occupied large tracts of unused land.

Although it is clear that food prices are so low that they are not a major factor in tying people into the capitalist system (rents, mortgages and bills do so far more effectively) it seems to us that a population capable of and actively involved in producing much of its own food outside of the money economy will be in a stronger position in the event of large scale struggles against capitalism involving strikes, lockouts, occupations and campaigns of non-payment etc. Many thousands of people are being forced by the government to take low-paid, shitty jobs or mickey mouse workfare schemes and threatened with loss of benefit if they refuse. We could support that refusal by offering surplus food from allotments and gardens to those suffering the state’s oppression. There is also the possibility of people developing similar independence from the money economy in other spheres as well — housing, energy production, waste management, health care etc which would also be highly beneficial but which is beyond the scope of this text. So to summarise our practical response should consist of: 1) a massive campaign of direct action; 2) a consumer boycott and propaganda campaign against corporate injustice, focussing on issues of sustainability and social justice; and 3) attempts at collective withdrawal from the industrialised food production system.

AUSTRALIAN GRAND PRIX WHAT A RACE!!!

Lets recap:

FP 1,2 and 3

Lando topping the timesheet in fp1 with his time at 1:17.252 with 21 laps completed with Carlos in second and Charles in third with Oscar and Max rounding up with top five. Oliver bearman lost control of the haas at the turn 9/10 chicane which slammed him into a concrete wall ending his first fp1 session in Australia.

In fp2 Charles topped the timesheet with 1:16.439 putting him four tenths clear of Lewis with Oscar 0.124s behind Charles and Lando in third while rookie Isack Hadjar and Lewis rounded the top five up.

In fp3 Oscar topped the timesheet with his time of 1:15.921 with George 0.039s behind and Max in third with Charles and rookie Kimi Antoneilli rounding up the top five sadly Oliver Bearman missed fp2 but was able to particpate in fp3 only to crash not long after dipping his wheel onto the grass under breaking at turn 11 making him go for a wild spin and stuck under a gravel trap.

Quali

After max had secured provisional pole for the first few runs of q3 Oscar beating that by four tenths of a second but Oscar didn’t keep p1 for long as Lando came in with his time of 1:15.096 Max ended up in third with George and Yuki in forth and fifth and the scuderia duo having to settle for seventh and eighth after a yellow flag for lewis has he spun out. Oliver Bearman who sadly couldn’t start his qualifying session which puts him at the back of the grid but most importantly a McLaren front row lockout happened.

Race 🏎️🏁

The race was giving me memories of brazil 2024 two changes happened to the build up of the race with Liam and Oliver starting at the pitlane due to suspension set up and specific changes under perc farme conditions every driver except Lance had started on inters not long after the formation lap Isack lost control of his racing bull at the exit of turn one which delayed the start by 15 minutes after the second start happened australians own rookie Jack Doohan in the Alpine and hitting the barriers at turn 5 then under the safety car Carlos in his Williams crashed through the final corner reporting a ‘ massive power surge’ on his radio.

As Lando was leading he reported he saw dry patches appearing along the circuit was informed by the McLaren pit wall there would be no rain for the next 30 minutes. As the laps ticked by Oscar continued to light up the timesheet and in turn starting putting some pressure on Lando giving the pit wall to think about when he got in DRS range.

An even bigger twist came at lap 34 when Fernando in the Aston Martin crashed heavily at the turn six exit spot that brought out another safety car and almost the entire grid pitted for slicks shortly afterwards haas both boxed Esteban and Oliver to change their inters for mediums as they were against pitting under the safety car with a clear dry line now visible for the best part of the lap. Meanwhile a five second penalty was given to rookie Gabriel for an unsafe release involving Liam’s Redbull.

As the rain continued to intensify underlined accidents for Gabriel at turn 13 and Liam at turn 2 and a smaller off for charles meaning the safety car was called out once again with both Ferrari’s dropping the fight for honours between Lando and Max once more. Lewis got on the radio letting out his fustration that “ they missed a big opportunity”. Max gave it all in the last few laps getting within DRS range but not close enough letting Lando get his fifth career victory with George in third.

- Williams have had a strong weekend in all 3 practices and in qualifying with alex finishing the race in p4 after a five second penalty was given to Kimi but unfortunately carlos slid off track earlier in the race let him to dnf. ( just looked at the offical formula one twitter they reversed that postion back )

- both rookies Liam and Oliver struggling this weekend could there be a mid season driver swap for both teams if they don’t perform well?

- I think Oscar could have gotten into the top 3 or even won if he didn’t accidentally slide onto the grass

[andmaybegayer]

Hello. So what's the deal with computer chips? Let's say, for example, that I wanted to build a brand new Sega Genesis. Ignoring firmware and software, what's stopping me from dissecting their proprietary chips and reverse-engineering them to make new ones? It's just electric connections and such inside, isn't it? If I match the pin ins and outs, shouldn't it be easy? So why don't people do it?

The answer is that people totally used to do this, there's several examples of chips being cloned and used to build compatible third-party hardware, the most famous two examples being famiclones/NESclones and Intel 808X clones.

AMD is now a major processor manufacturer, but they took off in the 70's by reverse-engineering Intel's 8080 processor. Eventually they were called in to officially produce additional 8086 chips under license to meet burgeoning demand for IBM PC's, but that was almost a decade later if I remember correctly.

There were a ton of other 808X clones, like the Soviet-made pin-compatible K1810VM86. Almost anyone with a chip fab was cloning Intel chips back in the 80's, a lot of it was in the grey area of reverse engineering the chips.

Companies kept cloning Intel processors well into the 386 days, but eventually the processors got too complicated to easily clone, and so only companies who licensed designs could make them, slowly reducing the field down to Intel, AMD, and Via, who still exist! Via's CPU division currently works on the Zhaoxin x86_64 processors as part of the ongoing attempts to homebrew a Chinese-only x86 processor.

I wrote about NES clones a while ago, in less detail, so here's that if you want to read it:

Early famiclones worked by essentially reverse-engineering or otherwise cloning the individual chips inside an NES/famicom, and just reconstructing a compatible device from there. Those usually lacked any of the DRM lockout chips built into the original NES, and were often very deeply strange, with integrated clones of official peripherals like the keyboard and mouse simply hardwired directly into the system.

These were sold all over the world, but mostly in developing economies or behind the Iron Curtain where official Nintendo stuff was harder to find. I had a Golden China brand Famiclone growing up, which was a common famiclone brand around South Africa.

Eventually the cost of chip fabbing came down and all those individual chips from the NES were crammed onto one cheap piece of silicon and mass produced for pennies each, the NES-on-a-chip. With this you could turn anything into an NES, and now you could buy a handheld console that ran pirated NES game for twenty dollars in a corner store. In 2002. Lots of edutainment mini-PC's for children were powered by these, although now those are losing out to Linux (and now Android) powered tablets a la Leapfrog.

Nintendo's patents on their hardware designs expired throughout the early 2000's and so now the hardware design was legally above board, even if the pirated games weren't. You can still find companies making systems that rely on these NES chips, and there are still software houses specializing in novel NES games.

Why doesn't this really happen anymore? Well, mostly CPU's and their accoutrements are too complicated. Companies still regularly clone their competitors simpler chips all the time, and I actually don't know if Genesis clones exist, it's only a Motorola 68000k, but absolutely no one is cloning a modern Intel or AMD processor.

The die of a Motorola 68000 (1979)

A classic Intel 8080 is basically the kind of chip you learn about in entry level electrical engineering, a box with logic gates that may be complicated, but pretty straightforwardly fetches things from memory, decodes, executes, and stores. A modern processor is a magic pinball machine that does things backwards and out of order if it'll get you even a little speedup, as Mickens puts it in The Slow Winter:

I think that it used to be fun to be a hardware architect. Anything that you invented would be amazing, and the laws of physics were actively trying to help you succeed. Your friend would say, “I wish that we could predict branches more accurately,” and you’d think, “maybe we can leverage three bits of state per branch to implement a simple saturating counter,” and you’d laugh and declare that such a stupid scheme would never work, but then you’d test it and it would be 94% accurate, and the branches would wake up the next morning and read their newspapers and the headlines would say OUR WORLD HAS BEEN SET ON FIRE. You’d give your buddy a high-five and go celebrate at the bar, and then you’d think, “I wonder if we can make branch predictors even more accurate,” and the next day you’d start XOR’ing the branch’s PC address with a shift register containing the branch’s recent branching history, because in those days, you could XOR anything with anything and get something useful, and you test the new branch predictor, and now you’re up to 96% accuracy, and the branches call you on the phone and say OK, WE GET IT, YOU DO NOT LIKE BRANCHES, but the phone call goes to your voicemail because you’re too busy driving the speed boats and wearing the monocles that you purchased after your promotion at work. You go to work hung-over, and you realize that, during a drunken conference call, you told your boss that your processor has 32 registers when it only has 8, but then you realize THAT YOU CAN TOTALLY LIE ABOUT THE NUMBER OF PHYSICAL REGISTERS, and you invent a crazy hardware mapping scheme from virtual registers to physical ones, and at this point, you start seducing the spouses of the compiler team, because it’s pretty clear that compilers are a thing of the past, and the next generation of processors will run English-level pseudocode directly.

Die shot of a Ryzen 5 2600 core complex (2019)

Nowadays to meet performance parity you can't just be pin-compatible and run at the right frequency, you have to really do a ton of internal logical optimization that is extremely opaque to the reverse engineer. As mentioned, Via is making the Zhaoxin stuff, they are licensed, they have access to all the documentation needed to make an x86_64 processor, and their performance is still barely half of what Intel and AMD can do.

Companies still frequently clone each others simpler chips, charge controllers, sensor filters, etc. but the big stuff is just too complicated.

Random thoughts about the Chinese GP weekend so far:

- Lando lamenting that the car is super fast but hard to drive, and the McLaren CTO replied "well, if we make it more driveable it will be slower"

- (manifesting for the McLaren car to go through the same development black hole the RB20 had 🙏🙏)

- speaking of cars... I know Australia was a nightmare, but I will NOT tolerate people accusing Ferrari of "not being able to build a car that works" when Red Bull exists

- when you have a car that only your superstar driver manages to drive, AND you've reached a point where that same driver you built the car around is struggling... you probably suck at building a car

- I'VE SEEN ENOUGH GIVE LEWIS AN ITALIAN CITIZENSHIP

- Ferrari went from fourth row qualifying to third row qualifying from one race to another. If we keep the progress linear we'll have a Ferrari front row lockout by Bahrain

- YUKI AND ISACK'S REVENGE ARC AGAINST THE BIBITARI TEAM HAS STARTED BE AFRAID

- we have two tyre whisperers on the team now. I'm expecting some masterclasses (if Pirelli doesn't keep fucking them up)

Kettlebell Snatch Muscles Worked

The kettlebell snatch is a dynamic, full-body exercise that targets multiple muscle groups while also improving power, coordination, and cardiovascular fitness. It’s a more advanced kettlebell movement that requires proper technique to maximize benefits and minimize the risk of injury. Here’s a breakdown of the primary and secondary muscles worked during the kettlebell snatch:

Primary Muscles Worked

Posterior Chain (Backside of the Body)

Glutes: Drive the explosive hip extension during the upward swing.

Hamstrings: Assist in hip extension and control the downward phase.

Erector Spinae (Lower Back): Stabilize the spine during the movement.

Shoulders (Deltoids)

Anterior Deltoid (Front Shoulder): Lifts the kettlebell overhead.

Lateral Deltoid (Side Shoulder): Assists in stabilizing the arm during the snatch.

Traps (Upper Back)

Upper Trapezius: Helps elevate and stabilize the shoulder as the kettlebell moves overhead.

Core (Abdominals and Obliques)

Rectus Abdominis (Front Abs): Stabilizes the torso during the explosive movement.

Obliques (Side Abs): Engaged to maintain balance and control rotation.

Secondary Muscles Worked

Quadriceps (Front Thighs)

Assist in the initial leg drive during the upward swing.

Lats (Latissimus Dorsi)

Help control the downward phase of the snatch and stabilize the shoulder.

Triceps

Extend the elbow to lock out the arm overhead.

Forearms and Grip Muscles

Work to maintain a secure grip on the kettlebell throughout the movement.

Calves

Assist in the explosive upward drive during the snatch.

Hip Flexors

Help control the downward phase and stabilize the hips.

How the Kettlebell Snatch Works These Muscles

The kettlebell snatch is a compound movement that involves multiple phases, each engaging different muscle groups:

Hinge Phase (Downward Swing):

Muscles Worked: Hamstrings, glutes, lower back, and core.

Action: You hinge at the hips, allowing the kettlebell to swing between your legs.

Explosive Drive Phase (Upward Swing):

Muscles Worked: Glutes, hamstrings, quads, calves, and core.

Action: You explosively extend your hips and knees to propel the kettlebell upward.

Pull and Punch Phase (Overhead Lockout):

Muscles Worked: Shoulders, traps, triceps, and core.

Action: You pull the kettlebell close to your body and punch it overhead, locking out your arm.

Descent Phase (Controlled Lowering):

Muscles Worked: Lats, core, and grip muscles.

Action: You guide the kettlebell back down with control, preparing for the next rep.

Benefits of the Kettlebell Snatch

born to [ REDACTED ] and [ REDACTED ] of new jersey and great acclaim, perry palmer took his first life at the tender age of seven. trained by his parents since birth to become an effective killing machine, perry had all the markings of a great assassin. he was ruthless, efficient, and meticulous in his approach. due to the nature of his parent's occupation, perry never stayed in one place for long. with no way to build real friendships he turned to cartoons as an escape. between assignments the antics of his favorite characters distracted him from his grim reality.

perry had never known anything other than the life of a killer, making him proficient enough to rival the skills of his parents. deprived of affection from his mom and dad, perry yearned for their approval and took on risky assignments to prove his worth. all of his effort would ultimately prove fruitless, as the entire family was targeted by a powerful criminal. at the age of fifteen, he looked on as his small family was decimated by a rival assassin hired to eliminate them all. perry was spared, allowed to serve as an example to those that dared to cross [ REDACTED ].

now orphaned and left with nothing, perry swore revenge on the crime boss and assassin that had murdered his parents, and he would do it with the skills they taught him. perry started at the bottom of the organization, extorting informants and thugs to garner knowledge. in the span of two years perry decimated the crime bosses' operations while taking out members of his inner circle, saving the big boss for last. poisoning the man and his entire family at a banquet held in his honor had felt fitting. but perry felt little satisfaction while he watched the man claw at his own throat while spitting up bile. he should have really done something more extravagant. with the crime boss eliminated, perry turned his eyes on the fellow assassin that had murdered his parents.

draining the criminals' ill-gotten gains into an offshore bank account, perry used these stolen funds to thrust himself into wealth and frivolity. having grown older perry still turned to cartoons as an escape, only now he graduated to anime and all things adorable. with a fondness for everything cute, pink, and sparkly, his apartment would have looked right at home in a magical girl anime. this contrasted greatly to his choice of profession which only picked up after taking down an entire organization by himself. if somebody wanted someone taken out there was nobody better than perry to do the job. but no matter his success, the location and identity of his parent's killer eluded him, leaving perry ultimately unfulfilled. which is why he accepted the invitation by pandora to join them without hesitation.

as an assassin he had no friends, no connections, and nothing to lose. perry now only laments the loss of his plushies and anime collection, but trading them away for power was worth the price. the process had been grueling, almost killing the assassin as a result. withstanding countless trials and experiments, he emerged, reborn and deadlier under the new monicker of gossamer. kept on a short leash by pandora, perry is employed to take out high profile targets or any that threaten the confidentiality of the company. using his new connections and powers he also hopes to finally hunt down the assassin that took everything from him, allowing him to avenge his parents at long last.
