Flock You "turns a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)- and Wi-Fi-enabled microcontroller into a detector for active Flock and similar surveillance systems in the area—allowing those who object to the company's activities to stay informed of exactly where they're deployed."

The massive praise for the Pixel 10 line is so disappointing. Google locks down the phone, the OS, and is now trying to kill sideloading, and they get nothing but praise from the mainline press. How are these companies ever going to change if the loudest critics never challenge their bullshit?

Nazi Germany in fact relaxed and eventually overturned vaccine requirements that had been in place prior to the rise of Hitler, so there's that

AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.

Hello it’s me Sam Altman I have a zillion dollar idea it’s a chat bot that tells teenagers to kill themselves and you can generate csam with it and it poisons the air and water and it’s wrong most of the time and we’re going to put it in your refrigerator and stuff 👍 I need more money for this btw

Just a polite reminder that we owe the concept of zombies to voodoun/Haitian cultures as an externalization of the fear of being compelled to labor beyond what was supposed to be the Absolute Freedom of death.

It's been years since our last music release—but desperate times call for desperate measures. Taking up arms against a wave of authoritarianism and despair, North Carolina’s premier hardcore band, Catharsis, has recorded a new full-length album, “Hope Against Hope.” crimethinc.com/HopeAgainstH...

Xiu Xiu and King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard have both removed their music from Spotify to protest Daniel Ek’s investment and involvement in AI military technology. Musicians don’t want our art funding the war machine! Daniel Ek, do you see the trend?

Among the greatest promotional photos of all time are these for the 1990 television movie of IT, where it looks like a prestige legal drama about a firm of hot young lawyers and one associate who likes to dress up like a clown.

Someone took issue with me saying that American male Protestants are unique in how they've removed themselves from aesthetics. I thought it was obvs that I'm talking about fashion and interior decor, which today are coded as "gay interests," not paintings or architecture. But let me elaborate. 🧵

A Nazi owns Twitter, right wing billionaires own the Wall Street Journal and the LA Times, and CBS is run by a right wing nepo baby who just fired one of the network’s biggest stars for criticizing Donald Trump. Here’s why America has a left-wing media bias problem.

re-posting this as a reminder that what happened in NYC this week was because people got off their phones and out of their bubbles. you can't build movements by staring at a glowing rectangle 8 hours a day - meet your neighbors, directly address each others' needs, and commit to doing the work.

HBD to Octavia Butler. Theres not another artist thats given me more confidence to go hard making work about climate/colonialism. I cant believe the cemetery shes buried in burned during the LA wildfires…we’re at another moment in the US where we’re “building more prisons than schools & libraries”.❤️‍🔥

Nothing restores the ol' life force than randomly clicking on random Bandcamp album covers and stumbling into actual, real-life magic. The world is endless and talent is endless.

ITS SHUT THE FUCK UP FRIDAY This is a very important message you should share with the people in your life that may be hitting the streets to protest: never talk to the police! WATCH:

Unbelievable! Today, San Diego witnessed a government-sanctioned kidnapping. ICE stormed Buona Forchetta in military gear ripping workers away, then unleashing tear gas and smoke on the terrified community. Full on police state, fascism now used on American citizens. Stay aware. #OnYourSide

I have taken shit from people for posting about climate lately…people say “what are we even supposed to do?!” Well, first off, talk about it, with everyone. It will help you process. Find ways to reliably educate yourself about how things are changing. Connect with activist orgs that are working…

I know some of you like Rogue One but I can't imagine the shitstorm from Star Wars fans if this had come after Andor, promoted as "the film that will serve as the culmination of the acclaimed series." The hilarious shift in tone, almost everyone forgetting how to act. The grotesque CG Tarkin...

Hey Bluesky is this a weird thing to keep in your restaurant bathroom?

Asheville city hall's budget is out. In response to locals' desperation after the devastatiom of Helene they're... Pushing a massive 8% tax hike. Combined with a similar move from the county locals are facing a 14% tax hike. Their big priority is raises for cops and high-level officials.🧵 #avlnews

Even if you only aim to negotiate, you put yourself in a weaker bargaining position by spelling out from the beginning what it will take to appease you. Better to appear implacable: "You want to come to terms? Make an offer—in the meantime, we’ll be blocking the freeway and setting things on fire."

a formerly enslaved Black anarchist woman led the first American May Day parade in Chicago in 1886 and don’t you forget it!!

On this day in 1886, Lucy Parsons, a Black anarchist born into slavery, marched with her children at the front of one of the largest labor marches in US history, as workers across the country demanded the eight hour day. Two days later, striking workers were shot.
