Airlines Are Selling Your Data to ICE

A massive aviation industry clearinghouse that processes data for twelve billion passenger flights per year is selling that information to the Trump administration amid the White House’s new immigration crackdown, according to documents reviewed by the Lever.

The data — including “full flight itineraries, passenger name records, and financial details, which are otherwise difficult or impossible to obtain” for past and future flights — is fed into a secretive government intelligence operation called the Travel Intelligence Program and provided to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other federal agencies, records reveal.

Details of this program were outlined in procurement documents released Wednesday by ICE, which is a division of the Department of Homeland Security.

Analog Retro Gaming: Water Toss

80s and 90s kids will remember this, and it's making a comeback as a novelty item. No storyline, no visual and auditory stimuli, just a simple challenge to hook all the rings in the posts (extra points for achieving color patterns), so it's up to your imagination to fill in the rest. Real randomness, too, not subject to some random number generator. A real zen gaming experience.

Pros: no batteries needed. Cons: risk of water spillage, occasional refills needed.

Fishing Paradiso by Odencat -- a fishing RPG with melodramatic backstories and a weird and wonky theology that still manages to reel you in.

From a game design perspective, this is a fine example of how to set up progression, all done at various levels -- the abilities, the opponents, the character stories, and the location reveals. Not too difficult in game mechanics but does take time to complete. From Google Play.

Caution / spoilers: some stories touch on death and suicide, and there are some creepy visuals and characters. Be aware when letting kids play, as you may need to give them some guidance.

Bell pepper harvest from my backyard garden -- recipe suggestions?

We grew the plant by accident, and while the usual harvest is just a handful at a time, they taste really fresh and great.

Edit: Thanks for the attention to this post. There's a lot of insistence that these are jalapenos and not bell peppers. They are in fact bell peppers, for the following reasons:

  1. They're sweet and not spicy.
  2. Jalapenos tend to have a more elongated shape.
  3. Green jalapenos tend to have a much brighter color.

I'm also in Southeast Asia so our pepper varieties are different.

Hope this helps!
