Genuinely curious whether Rings have been taken down these past 2 months in the Twin Cities area. Thinking about a street near mine where I always see a lot of chatter about what people see on their Rings (lots of package thieves around, etc)—I’m positive they all hate ICE now—what’s this look like?

YOUR RING CAMERA IS AN ICE AGENT

"In October of 2025, Amazon's Ring announced its partnership with FLOCK, an A.I. surveillance group that freely shares its footage with ICE, the secret service, and the navy. Flock customers can use A.I. tools to sift through footage to assist in all manner of operations (like raids and deportations) without a warrant. Unplug Ring! Melt ICE! Protect your neighbors!

jack asked if i would sketch up a poster to tell people in nearby neighborhoods about the partnership between flock and ring, and this is what i came up with. it can be printed on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper.

Ok, you can stop texting me, I saw the Ring ad. Troubling things about it 🧵:

-The long awaited (much warned about) intro of “AI” recognition. It starts w/ searching for a “brown dog” but means the tech is there for lisence plate reading, face recognition, searching for suspects by description, etc

We ALL know that's Ricky Martin singing in front of the bananas

He's singing "Lo Que Le Pasó a Hawaii," an anti-statehood song that holds up Hawaii as a cautionary tale (as already established, Benito is pro independence)

Yeah I’m looking for my dog (girlfriend who has a restraining order against me and she has a dog) and here’s the picture of the dog (she walks this dog and I can use it to figure out her schedule) thanks for sending all footage my way

I tell you what, Ring figured out exactly how to weaponize white people’s empathy in service to a corporately controlled surveillance state.

Tell them it will find your dog.

And note to everyone: YOU TRY IT ALL in the middle of a constitutional crisis. Roberto Garcia threw in a surprise subpoena against the Epstein estate, and it has been a mother lode.

You're laughing? The team that lends their plane for deportation flights and whose owner is best pals with Trump got utterly humiliated in front of a hundred million viewers, and you're laughing?

One of the songs was “Lo que le pasó a Hawaii” and it’s definitely not a tale that the natives are thriving because their ancestral country was made into a US state

Next time somebody tries to get me to justify the existence of the humanities, I’ll just point out how for the past two Super Bowls we’ve all jumped online and engaged in collective semiotics and hermeneutics of the half-time show as text.

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

Money.

And it's not America - it's the world.

They are losing popularity in the US especially in the wake of CTE and are trying to globalize. That's why they have games in like Ireland now.

This is true.

And all the more striking because we *barely* integrated. Most organizations remain highly segregated but even minor integration was too much for some folks.
