Ring doorbell footage and law enforcement agencies are linked via Flock Safety, a private surveillance firm. ICE can access Ring footage through this link

i was an adjunct for two years. workload was basically what i wanted to put into it, which scares me for the students.

didn't go back this year. retail pays better by the hour.

anyone who treats or takes this man seriously should be shot into the sun

a lot of the time i see all the smart people posting smart things on here and i think "why bother"

Jake Paul is a very dumb person and that he has ascended to the economic heights of wealth that he has is a testament to the inversion of our economic system and the fabrication of an actual “meritocracy,” just as Bezos, Zuckerberg, Musk also are examples of this dynamic.

Puerto Rico hasn't had reliable power in a decade.

The grid sends occasional surges through the wires that fry appliances.

Electricity rates are among the highest in the entire U.S.

Heat waves are getting intense in the summer, and outages mean A/C is no guarantee for an aging population.

LMAO collinsworth called drake maye a big dummy for not recognizing seattle’s blitzes. “it’s not that difficult”

nah c’mon aidotcom can’t be real that’s a parody

lmaoo and when analysis is actually needed

if you had told people back during the Kavanaugh hearings that disgraced pedophile Jeffrey Epstein was working the phones getting Ken Starr to lobby Ted Cruz and Tom Cotton to vote yes people would have said you need to get your head checked. But this is literally what was happening.

The president constantly lying about stolen elections, after staging a coup attempt, & now threatening to federalize & steal future elections, should be the primary news story in the country 24/7 & on every front page until he is impeached & removed next week.

While reporting this, I had something happen that's never happened. A comms rep for one of the co's disputed my reporting and said what I was telling them was untrue because it was not in Grok, xAI's chatbot.

I was looking directly at the files. And this person was using AI to challenge the truth.

would you mind sharing?

the student thought (im paraphrasing) that this wasn't a serious enough issue to be talking about, but since there was a video taking it seriously, she took it seriously

when i taught college freshmen in composition and this-is-what-college-is-like classes last year during election season, one girl said she saw a video on tiktok chastising harris because, iirc, harris said she would ban white coffee mugs cus her lipstick would get on them

fiction could never create this, only reality could

creating a character like this is impossible, it can only exist in reality

this is what it always was

Pinned lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · Aug 19, 2021 Almost three years ago, my editor called me early one November morning. A wildfire had sparked near a town called Paradise, he said. Could I go? (1/13) 0:02 / 0:10 lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · 47m I was just laid off by The Washington Post in the middle of a warzone. I have no words. I'm devastated. Quote lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · Jan 25 Waking up without power, heat, or running water. (Again.) But the work here in Kyiv continues. Warming up in the car, writing in pencil — pen ink freezes — by headlamp.

A publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world

the luka trade was terrible, but they essentially netted two potentially good first round picks for him

seems like a fantastic trade for dallas and terrible for washington. DAL was getting nothing out of AD, now they dump a bunch of crap and land two first round picks from a team with even a seemingly worse future. wtf does this do for washington? feels like they’re in a deeper hole

austin rivers and robbie hummel sound a lot better than they did a few weeks ago, they're making their point and getting out, not faking passing the mic. the pbp guy is leaving them some wide open windows for them to get in

idk who the pbp guy is but the spaced-out trio on nbc is working well as a whole tonight

You can test new tech ideas using the Seinfeld Test

Would the product eliminate the plot of an episode? (Google maps, cell phones, paypal, battery packs)

Good tech.

Would the product inspire new Seinfeld plots? (NFTs, AI chatbots, crypto currency, blindboxes, metaverse land sales)

Bad tech.

I saw it too:

The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll

Holy crap. Minnesota police chief tracks down ICE agents in his car and de-arrests a woman who lives in his town.

im still learning the difference between leftism and liberalism, myself
