It’s funny to see all the noise about Talifreako. His situation changed less than a thousand votes. People that were going to vote for or against him still will.
We are that divided as a country.
Regardless of my thoughts of his radicalism…I hope he’s well.
@iambmorsh People that break laws, break laws. Laws really only hurt law abiding citizens.
I’m with you Babak. I own suppressors and won’t come up there to hunt moose because of the dumb laws.
They require you to have a muffler on your car…it’s no different.
@DallasStars you totally botched the @victoryplustv deal.
Now I’m missing opening nite because you’ve advertised we get the games on @amazonprime this season but @hbomax now wants their money.
If you make it hard to watch, people won’t watch. 🙄🤬
@VANWHO Agreed, on all 8/2 points.
I’ve not been crazy about this manager hire from the jump. If we should’ve learned anything from Bouchy…we need to hire a winner with a proven record of winning.
NEW: America’s top gun safe manufacturer, Liberty Safe, gave the FBI an access code to a safe owned by someone who was present at the J6 protest.
We have officially found the Bud Light of gun safes. Enjoy going out of business, @libertysafeinc.
The situation gets even worse: On August 30, 2023, the FBI raided the owner of the safe, Arkansas man Nathan Hughes who is a friend of the @hodgetwins.
Not only did they access his safe but the FBI also allegedly turned off his security cameras and held his girlfriend at gun point.
In a statement Liberty Safe confirmed they gave the FBI Hughes’ code:
“Liberty Safe was contacted by the FBI requesting the access code to the safe of an individual for whom they had a warrant to search their property…”
“Liberty Safe is devoted to protecting the personal property and 2nd amendment rights of our customers…”
Shameful.
@BarDown Interesting but Dallas but because of Johnston more than Robertson. Feel WJ is way underrated across the league. Which is fine as a biased Stars fan.
A police chief in Oshkosh, Wisconsin caught Flock lying to his city council, and killed the $8 billion surveillance company's contract less than a day after the council had approved it.
Here's how it happened.
The night before, Oshkosh's council was set to renew its deal with Flock Safety, the license plate camera company backed by a16z and Tiger Global.
One council member asked the Flock rep a plain yes-or-no question. Does this system build a heat map of everywhere a specific car travels over time?
Flock's rep said no.
The council believed him and voted 5 to 2 to renew. By the next morning, Chief Dean Smith's own officers had told him that answer was false.
So he pulled up the system himself. He watched it generate the exact heat map Flock had just sworn it couldn't make.
Then he walked into an emergency meeting and said it out loud: "Because of this misrepresentation, I can no longer recommend Flock."
Understand what a heat map is, because it's the whole trick.
Flock sells cities a tidy little story. A car drives by, we snap a photo, we read the plate, that's all it is.
But the same system can quietly average out where your car goes day after day and paint your routine onto a map.
Not one snapshot at one corner. Your pattern. Where you sleep, where you work, where you keep going back and how often.
A Flock employee later admitted on the record that the software does exactly that.
So the pitch and the product are two different things. The company wins the contract selling a plate reader, then sits on a moving map of your life.
The only reason Oshkosh caught it was one skeptical question and a police chief who bothered to check the answer.
The vote to rescind was 7 to 0. Unanimous.
Flock called the whole thing "one small misconception" from a long meeting and said it was disappointed nobody let it explain.
A surveillance company worth eight billion dollars got caught lying about whether it maps where you drive. Its defense was that the lie was small.
Oshkosh got one honest answer by accident. Congress can make it the rule.

@RepLuna This is a stupid take. The government needs to butt out of student loans and let the free market dictate the cost.
Money today cost more than 2% and at that rate, you pulled completely out of your ass, we the tax payers subsides it. 🤬
