I did some old-fashioned StreetView OSINT and also pulled some government contracts. I have the same model ALPR cameras that utterly failed to do the single thing they claim to do in Tucson and will be doing a real-time technical failure analysis with them next week. Stay tuned.

A capitalist would sell oil to Cuba.

See? This is why combat sports are great.

Apple Music pays around $50 million annually to sponsor the Super Bowl Halftime Show. The NFL pays the performers $1,246 for the performance, the minimum allowable SAG rate for theatrical performances. I love how that's considered peak success in the music industry. 🫠

Nancy Guthrie's disappearance vs the tech surveillance industry: Tucson has over 200 ALPRs ranging from Verkada/Fusus to Flock Safety. Some of these are deployed at the intersections enclosing the subdivision where Nancy Guthrie's residence is located.

Our External Education Committee spoke with musician and YouTube video producer @bennjordan.bsky.social about his recent work on surveillance, privacy, and 'gadgets for people who don't trust the government'.

Nothing like praising AI surveillance at a press conference for an unsolved case of a missing person disappearing under millions of dollars of AI surveillance.

The most securist surveillance company hired a third party cyber security firm to help them out with their 100% secure system that has totally never ever been hacked.

Had a really wild time on the Las Vegas strip and fit in really well with the atmosphere. 🫠 Light mapped to volume, phase, and frequency to a few 4096-partial additive synth engines. It requires an absurd and unreasonable amount of CPU power to run in real time. 😅 www.youtube.com/shorts/ZnPEA...

Not sure what mountain this is, but he just reached the peak. 🥹

If you sold all of your Bitcoin and invested in Snapchat's 2025 comeback a year ago today, you'd still be better off than if you hadn't.

Spent a few more minutes looking at StopIce.net. It's bad. They don't seem to want to ask for help with securing it, so I'll ask my infosec savvy followers with some free time to reach out to them. Until then, I'd encourage people to not supply it with any personal or location data.

Not a huge deal (hopefully), but an important lesson to not automatically trust a website because it aligns with your ideology.

Can we collectively accept the obvious truth that the DOJ isn't going to release anything that legitimately incriminates Donald Trump? This is a reality show that will ultimately dress predators up as victims and political rivals as scapegoats.

Last week's solar storm wreaked havoc on my telescope's GPS, but it allowed me to experience the surreality of the northern lights in Death Valley.

Benn is so AMAZING! F sonic devices and F ICE! @bennjordan.bsky.social youtube.com/shorts/3dgPI...

416 school shootings since 2000 and these ghouls couldn't find a single exception to the second amendment until someone was mean to them.

"the left fights in the streets" Yeah, while the current "Libertarian Party" sits in their suburban homes collecting guns like they were Pokemon cards and publishes their official comms on the social network owned by the man who bankrolled an election to a transparently authoritarian regime.

If you're in Southern California, I need you! My friends over at Buchla have let me set up shop at the event to let people volunteer for a double-blind (100% safe) acoustic experiment I'm running. Attendance is free to those who RSVP, and the event itself amazing on its own! Come say hey!

I will happily speak at a panel that refers to me as a thought-leader.

Grok is so much worse than you think.

The HaveIBeenFlocked.com database is a tiny fraction of Flock Safety queries that have been leaked or released via FOIA requests. You can be tracked for attending a protest, lawfully getting an abortion, or because a random account said something about you on social media.

It's shocking to me how many people own a 3D printer who have seemingly never used it for anything that they'd otherwise have ordered or purchased.

Remember that spreadsheet I posted that let you know which apps may have shared your mobile identifier and location data to ICE? Google decided that it violated their "phishing policy". 🙄

I don't have a PhD in basic logic, but I'm not sure you can have both of these things at the same time.

We have been following @bennjordan.bsky.social’s work for a while, and soon after that video came out, he reached out to @jasonkoebler.bsky.social to tell him he had learned that some of Flock’s Condor cameras were left live-streaming to the open internet. Watch now:

Me. Beast for anarchists.

This is an incredibly bold post to a nation with 500 million civilian-owned firearms.

A Georgia sheriff's office secretary had unrestricted access to Flock Safety's database and proceeded to use it to stalk people in her personal life.

some pretty crucial info from @bennjordan.bsky.social youtube.com/shorts/a5YxM...

ICE Shooter: MAGA loyalist? ✅ Immigrant wife? ✅ "Don't Tread On Me" flag on lawn? ✅ These people are empty shells of flesh that believe in nothing.

Fun fact: Legal firearm owners can open carry at protests in 45 states.

I love how shocked and appalled people are that my video visually compared ICE agents to SS soldiers while they literally play dress-up as SS soldiers. 😂

Maybe they should allocate some of their SEO budget to security this year.
