I mean.. they let a bunch of cop killers go free without serving justice. Not sure what they expected would happen.

License Plate Readers Are Leaking Real-Time Video Feeds and Vehicle Data Misconfigured license-plate-recognition systems reveal the livestreams of individual cameras and the wealth of data they collect about every vehicle that passes by them.

By leaving insecure tracking devices on the open internet, “police have not only breached public trust but created a bounty of location data for everyone who drives by which can be abused by stalkers & other criminals,” EFF’s @cooperq.com told @wired.com.

Publishing pics of recent survivors even from their backs can put them in further danger. Who they are working with and where they are located should be confidential. I’ve seen the consequences of this. People can ID survivors even when silhouetted or given pseudonyms.

Prosecutors are charging Luigi with terrorism, which is an “intent to intimidate or coerce the civilian population or a government unit.”

Why don’t these mass murdering incels with anti-women manifestos like Elliot Rogers get called terrorists? Intent to intimidate all women doesn’t count?

I’ll gladly pay for inflated eggs if they can lower my 2025 health bill from the $27,000 annual estimated cost with the “affordable healthcare” marketplace plan.

Ok. Lets see how these work with Miami drivers on the road. Should be interesting. 🤣

The revolution will be commercialized.

It’s all entertainment now and we are addicted to the manufactured drama. We’re all just living in a warped reality TV show.

Gaslighters keep trying to convince us we all are on equal footing now. Democracy for the people by the people indeed.

Impressive work! #Techforgood

CANADIAN Version of this series would have been boring. Man gets cancer... Man goes to Dr. because they have universal healthcare. The End.

He comes in disguise. Surprise surprise. 😂

IQuick Thread: I really love people who work to take care of the spaces we share online. Because Bluesky is less centralized, more of that work falls to us.

As in all things…look for the helpers.

DOGE: A Look at the Programs Musk, Ramaswamy Want to Cut Billions From Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, co-heads of the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE for short, have repeatedly said they will cut more than $500 billion in what they call government overspendi...

The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) is on the list of programs the DOGE wants to cut. This funds domestic violence and human trafficking hotlines, programs, and shelters across the nation. @grantstern.bsky.social

Holy shit.

Now just imagine if the NIS director was a Yoon loyalist who didn’t refuse the order. That’s the America we are about to be living in.

A sneak peek at what we’ve been building at Parasol Cooperative.

Choose survivor-centered AI that doesn’t collect, use, or sell any user data. #MeetRuth

Question the business models in platforms we use. Tech nonprofits like Parasol Cooperative prioritize social impact goals, not profits.

Sure. Lots of federal money in the deportation industry.

The norms are still important, arguably as important as the Constitution. They are the invisible fabric that has held our democracy together for hundreds of years.

He would’ve maintained norms if he felt secure in knowing Hunter would’ve gotten fair treatment with the next administration, but clearly that wasn’t going to be the case. Dems are now faced with a prisoners dilemma. The other side says “fuck norms” so Dems will get shafted if they don’t do the same

This correlates with the introduction of social media and rise of the attention economy and its resulting memefication of democracy. Government is now about what is most entertaining. Can this metamorphosis be more obvious than Elon running the DOGE? We’re living in one big reality TV show.

True and some of us on the left are building human-centered AI. We’re not a monolithic group despite what powerful anti-reg advocates want people to believe.
