As the current government is speedrunning the grievances laid out in the Declaration of Independence of the Thirteen Colonies, a few notes on ICE harassment of citizens.

Finding a bunch of news stories about this, but the most to the point seems to be Minnesota House of Representatives — Legislative News and Views - Rep. Michael Howard (DFL) — Legislative Update - Responding to ICE in Our Community — Friday, January 9, 2026

But even as investigations begin, ICE’s rampage across Minnesota continues, including right in our backyard. Yesterday in Richfield, federal agents, including Greg Bovino, senior commander of US Border Patrol, entered Target without a warrant, physically assaulted, and arrested two Target employees, both who are U.S. citizens.

That count is recent enough that Pro Publica: We Found That More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. doesn't include them in their count.

Combining learning Rust and understanding LLMs, I prompted Gemini's CLI to create a little utility I want. This is my first attempt to do real work with it, and more than before I really understand the comparisons between LLM and cocaine that people are making.

And I'm not actually learning Rust...

Today I learned that Cocoa's -layoutSubtreeIfNeeded only does the work if the NSView is attached, which means that rather than calculating where to put the frame before adding the subview, you have to add the subview somewhere off-screen, layout, and then move it where you want it.
