This is kind of like when Trump made that good point about the NFL kickoff rule right at the end of the racist tirade about Bad Bunny.

My first thought reading it was β€œwe need agentic software ecosystem to be like podcasts not like crypto. Both (nominally) built with open protocols but one is useful for creators and listeners and the other is a tech bro ketamine trip that does crimes.”

So you know. Low stakes.

Seven Billion Reasons for Facebook to Abandon its Face Recognition Plans Meta’s analysis that it can avoid scrutiny by releasing a privacy invasive product during a time of political crisis is craven and morally bankrupt. It is also dead wrong.

Meta thinks now is a great time to launch facial recognition surveillance tech in their creepy glasses because EFF will be too distracted by fascism to notice.

We noticed.

You know what? Let’s do relegation in the NBA. If the tanking teams want to be bad let them go do that in the G league

Yet asst. U.S. attorneysβ€”AUSA used to be an esteemed titleβ€”continue to make this frivolous argument over and over in bald-faced arguments in case after case. They’ve been told no many thousands of times. They admit (remarkably) in their filings that they know their arguments are meritless.

I reported on the MN woman who lost her Global Entry status as a result of legally observing ICE/CBP in suburban Minneapolis. (several days before the NYT did - AHEM)

I spoke to another woman who had a similar thing happen today.

More coming in tomorrow's newsletter.

Actually would have guessed it was more in Hardens favor. Seems like his teams are always a thorn in the side of the Nuggets

I mean no joke Amazon killed the first Alexa program because people complained that it couldn’t really do anything except play songs.

So I think β€œAlexa really does stuff β€œ is the message?

I don’t know Kendrick’s was art in the sense that it challenged society. Well I won’t speak for society but I’d say it challenged me.

This year was more … wholesome. More call-in than call-out I suppose.
