“A simple data-entry error, magnified and broadcast nationwide by a growing surveillance network operated through an opaque partnership between a private company and public agencies, led police to identify me as a car thief and set up a sting to take me down.”

This. This. All of this. I have friends in the film industry reposting this article like a four alarm fire. This is the AI company announcing a stunt they themselves are facilitating (if it ever happens at all) not anyone outside of the AI company expressing any interest at all.

Do we have a thread of police abusing Flock surveillance yet? Flock abuse thread 🧵📌

I’m sorry, but this video of Belgium’s squad mocking Trump in their locker room after demolishing the USMNT is hilarious.

New meme-tweet format just dropped.

Legitimate answer: Who hangs out in a Nazi bar?

"This isn't something we normally test for."

Spoke to Mitch McConnell today

ICE is still kidnapping and killing people

ICE has killed again. And they have offered a story to explain the killing, again. It involves a car, again. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/07/u...

Trump's fascism would not be possible if it weren't for all the dedicated accomplices carrying out his agenda under cover of darkness. Good stuff here.

these people have access to the most sophisticated surveillance apparatus in human history and instead theyre getting their intel from the rumble comment section

the big thing that happened is standard maine dem party got frozen out of any other potential candidates because schumer wanted mills, which left a giant gaping hole for any competitor to come up. doubly so because schumer and mills hemmed and hawed for ages before announcing.

Out on the town having the time of my life with Mitch McConnell. He's just out of frame, laughing too.

the Pfizer building is apparently having trouble remaining erect

6 months ago the CDC changed the meningococcal meningitis vaccine to "shared clinical decision making". Ohio is +11 Trump, has full republican control of all 3 branches, and a republican appointed health director still requires it for school. CDC: Make this change Ohio: Nah bro, we're good

Platner is what happens when self-hating liberals buy into the conservative critique that Democrats are too woke, elite, educated, white collar, feminized, multi-racial, LGBTG, and/or “soft.” It’s an implicit and self-hating rejection of the belief that inclusive diversity matters and has value.

it immediately made me think about Cesar Chavez's long history of sexual abuse, & Dolores Huerta's statement that she kept her experience secret for 60 years bc she believed the truth would hurt the movement she spent her life fighting for www.nytimes.com/2026/03/18/u... medium.com/@dolores_hue...

yeah ok I waited overnight bc somehow people are going to be mad about this take but where the actual fuck is Bernie Sanders on this while the dirtbag left spends 16 straight hours calling a rape survivor an AIPAC plant? fuck you

This bizarre @newrepublic.com piece accuses me of being a proponent of American exceptionalism and someone who refuses to challenge the basic myths of American history and, uh, that is certainly a take?

Guys, the secret police has simultaneously eviscerated internal checks & repurposed them to intimidate critics. Please update your assessment of how far down the authoritarian slope we have gone

there is a rich vein of "if we perform enough of a caricature of masculinity that's gotta make republicans stop calling us pussies" anxiety in Democratic politics that started with Truman and has not stopped for even a single election cycle since

ow wow moral backbone

“he can’t do that the Constitution says so” — the military can’t shoot folks on the streets of Memphis either

This is also a story about car dependency

France: lol America hold my glass of Bordeaux

A stronger "HR lady" element in Dem politics would've nuked Platner sooner but instead a bunch of credulous & insecure dolts with podcasts & substacks just had to let their masculinity issues give Dems a candidate who imploded less than a month after winning the primary.

Vile: Mike Johnson just said GOP might try to undo birthright citizenship with legislation, which is unconstitutional. I've noticed a pattern: He and Vance are using sleazy new language to sell this as a trivial reform. The threat is very much alive. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2127...

PLATNER OUT (my Maine mom just told me)

Nothing says "academic freedom" like making your political views mandatory....

The military is shooting people in the American cities they’re occupying.

love the pizza trolling articles, much more satisfying than the BBQ trolling articles

Trump Peptides™ coming soon

“He then put her license plate details on a surveillance “hotlist,” meaning he would get a notification in real time anytime she drove by an AI-powered license plate surveillance camera.”

Welp.

Three Supreme Court justices will vote to enjoin this after a law professor or two cook up a fake common law theory to run interference for them in the NYT.

High school drop out Isaiah Taylor, founder of Valar Atomics, says that, when he founded Valar in July 2023 it was “just [him] and a laptop.” Inspiring story, but I wonder why he left out the help he received from Julie Frederickson, a close associate of Peter Thiel ally Balaji Srinivasan. 1/

McMorrow bailed

Florida folks: If you have O- blood and are of African or African American descent, OneBlood is searching for donors who have a rare antigen that matches with a teenager with sickle cell disease who needs 50 units of blood so she can have a bone marrow transplant.

There's a perverse symbolism in the legacy of White racism sheltering under the bowers of all African Americans have done for this country while patiently waiting for the chance to go back to insisting we are a drain upon their society and that they never needed us at all.

How are police unions different from other unions? What are the politics of police institutions, internally, and in relation to one another? And why do cops have so much power? grateful to @stschrader1.bsky.social for joining us on @unhappinesspod.bsky.social www.patreon.com/OrdinaryUnha...

Ramaswamy burned three times the carbon in a single trip than I have saved riding a bike for four years (19,500 miles). But I am still going to keep doing it.

What most Americans know about EVs is propaganda from the fossil fuel industry mortified at the prospect of loss of their leading source of sales. Now that millions of electric vehicles have been on the road for a decade or more, we have the data to check in on how their batteries are holding up.

This particular fraudster’s crimes go back to his partnership with… Jack Abramoff, if you can pull that name out of your memory banks.
