looking at the rest of it, other than that, the part with

ไบบใฎ่บซใซใชใ‚Œใฃใฆใ‚“ใ ใƒใƒผใƒญใ‚ฉ๏ผ

Iโ€™d maybe translate as

put yourself in my shoes, asshole!

(implied: ใใ‚“ใช็„ก่Œถใ‚’่จ€ใ‚ใ‚Œใฆใ‚‚= you're asking way too much!)

but yeah translation is hard, I always struggle with getting the tone right on gag comics like this lol

eesh that's hard! The ใƒžใ‚คใ‚ฑใƒซ joke is about how i'd understand it. the 2nd half doesn't land for me but i also don't have any alternative though! it's where i'd expect him to say maybe ็„กๅฟต but yeah it's a gag i don't quite get!

and that's my voice off to the side of the camera, having to (again) quote the penal code to LAPD. This keeps happening: getting threatened with arrest; officers claiming that they don't have to comply with the law for some reason. @shoton35mm.bsky.social and I were clearly displaying press badges.

scenes from last night at a protest in LA. Several groups were here: on the other side of the Detention Center building was a vigil. This was slightly after that.

Another day, another outage โ€” instead of rehashing why our reliance on a handful of big tech companies for our access to literately EvErYThINg is bad โ€” Iโ€™m going to point you to the last three times I had to do that over the past 4 weeks, which led to a great convo with @dexdigi.bsky.social

Inside Adelanto: A Visit To Adelanto ICE Processing Facility ADELANTO โ€” Visitors pass through layers of security and silence to see those inside. Many havenโ€™t seen their loved ones since they were detained by immigration authorities in Southern Califorโ€ฆ

NEW for the Ten Four:

The Adelanto ICE Processing Center and its conditions inside are the subject of dozens of concerning stories, but rarely is there an opportunity to actually talk to those inside the facility. I was able to get inside (kind of).

gotta be one of my favorite recent conversations. i recommend it (not because i'm in it, but because @micahflee.com broke this down so anyone could understand both the 'technical' side and the political side of why this means so much to people.)
