Coyote at Powell Butte today. Footage is a little grainy, at distance. No one else saw the coyote, even though in plain view. Half were on their phones, the other half talking, all of them enjoying a nice day out there.

Good question. Unfortunately, the answer is that we need people like you to keep society from falling apart.

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.

an oil painting of a raven flying in front of a howling coyote. both animals have their mouths open, with wisps of white coming from the coyote's mouth and wisps of black coming from the raven's; the wisps connect to one another as they spiral around the piece. the background is a bluish-greyscale gradient from dark to light

Oh, good: Discord's age verification rollout has ties to Palantir co-founder and panopticon architect Peter Thiel Discord is "experimenting" with an age authentication vendor whose major investors include Thiel's Founders Fund.
