abolish ALPRs

White people: in the name of racial solidarity please do NOT let your pets get *on* the table at a restaurant. (I can’t believe this has to be said.)

This fucking SUCKS!!!!

Folks, I tried to make an appointment online *yesterday* at a business and they wanted me to upload my face to it.

Nothing in his statement says Torres really disagrees with the ongoing genocide in Palestine, just how it’s been publicly *perceived.*

it’s like, well as long as we do better reputational management we can continue to the ethnic cleaning.

Make sure to read Austin's full piece but yeah, Biden's DHS was super-charging this before Trump and people yelled about it to no avail at them about it being a horrible idea.

I’ve had it with Microsoft The company is deceptively raising prices on existing customers to fund its AI spending

Last week, I got an email from Microsoft. It told me I’d be paying 46% more for my Office subscription, starting next month.

But when I tried to cancel, it offered me the same price I was already paying — without the generative AI features I never asked for in the first place.

I've become increasingly disillusioned with many of critiques of AI by folks on the left. One example is the talk about stolen content from artists which serves to reinforce corporate domination. Why are we using RIAA talking points to fight AI?

Read this very carefully: *One quarter* of all the people who have died of starvation in Gaza over the past 22 months have died in the past *3* days.

If you want to fight the dystopia, I recommend making a donation to MuckRock. It's a great organization that fights government secrecy every day and helped get me my start in using #FOIA to annoy government bureaucrats.

Looking back at a thing we wrote on STEM, knowledge production and the need for critiques based on challenging tech within social and economic forms of domination. dl.acm.org/doi/fullHtml...

Sounds good to me

You would think the capitalist class would have less patience for this but they’d happily do a short-term squeeze for even greater profits even if the long-term harm to the economy is clearly there.

Last night, I put together a video on the work @atlpresscollective.com & @lucyparsonslabs.com did to get these docs. Ofc, APF hid these records, it was secretly working to kill a voter referendum on #CopCity, calling it "undemocratic." www.youtube.com/watch?v=Te0XOiWGcg8

In 2024, ACPC filed a lawsuit to get open records from the Atlanta Police Foundation.

Here are the documents we fought for.

A lot of this stuff is unfortunately
pseudoscience that gets accepted by courts into evidence

Revolving door aka corruption.

Idk what to tell you, my people are also being delayed and being told weather.

Sometimes I think back to being a younger person and reading books like “Manufacturing Consent” that really informed by political thinking.

“Was 15 year old Freddy being mislead?” Turns out the analysis was 🎯 all along lmao.

Nothing has been holding back the public’s confidence in journalism except for a “nonpartisan” advocacy of free markets.
