“Shelter workers said critical supplies are needed due to the influx of animals including food, water bowls, extra large crates and blankets. Anyone able to donate these items can drop them off at the donation bin located at the shelter’s front parking lot.” ktla.com/news/local-n...

Best of 2024 from @michellepitcher.bsky.social: Texans are organizing inside and outside of prisons to empower incarcerated workers, who labor in dangerous conditions without pay.

Doing archival research and found this note from one cybernetician to a math professor and I have never felt so seen

The exhibition “explores the precursors of current biometric surveillance in Cold War manuals for police, border guards and spies; in forensic portraiture; and in the little-known early history of computer facial recognition, revealing links between forensics, science, art, and popular culture.”

Remember when "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" tried to teach us about tariffs and no one was paying attention

PSA, it smells NOTHING like butter tortillas >:(

This CNN interview with Clear CEO ask all the WRONG questions about current and developing biometric “identity verification”/surveillance tech… Surely we should be conncerned with more than just the airport lines getting longer, yes? @CNN Clear p.1

New #JWST image just dropped 🔭🐡🧪

Had a book review editor tell me I should quit academia if I'm going to cheat by using AI to write my reviews (had never used chatgpt at this point). Now this journal wonders why it struggles to get reviewers 😵‍💫
