Is it our privilege to slave for market & for industry?
Is it our right to follow laws, set to scare and to oppress?
Is it a gift to stay in line and will it take away the blame?”

Southern California currently has the highest humidity in the U.S., even surpassing Florida.

The dew point over the Salton Sea reached a stifling 81°F, while Los Angeles hit 73°F, comparable to the Amazon rainforest and quite possibly its highest value on record.

It's 2027. The AI bubble has popped. The US dollar has bust. It's 500 dollars to buy a burger and it makes you immediately have diarrhea. The sun has been renamed America.

As a loser of an LA native

Street food has been around forever. King taco literally started the food truck here. I’ve walked to taco stands since I was a kid.

The only thing you are correct about is Karen bass sucking. Vote for Nythia

[Auk @slugmoreslug]

As an LA native, street vendors are not part of LA culture. That shit started like 10 years ago and natives fucking hate it

How the hell are you supposed to talk about the two illegal Israeli run bio labs in the US that both had COVID samples without sounding like a psychotic conspiracy brained nazi

STOP FLOCK. STOP AI MASS SURVEILLANCE.

Totalitarianism is when a government or another entity with overwhelming power seeks to know, control and influence everything you do, say and even think. I fear very much that if we don't act aggressively, that is where we’re heading.

You may not know it, but you may already be being tracked by artificial intelligence.

Flock, a surveillance company backed by Big Tech oligarchs like Marc Andreessen and Peter Thiel, has installed more than 120,000 AI-powered surveillance cameras across America.

These AI cameras scan and record 20 BILLION vehicles every month across more than 6,000 communities.

What does that mean for you? It means that if Flock is in your community, every time you leave your house, a Flock camera records and tracks you.

If you are dropping your kids off at school, Flock knows.

If you are going to a doctor, Flock knows.

If you are going out on a date, Flock knows.

And that’s not all.

Newer Flock cameras do not just record vehicles. They record people. Flock’s AI system can combine images of you and your vehicle with databases of phone numbers, relatives and court records to find out who you are, where you're going and why.

In my view, this raises some very fundamental questions. Do we want to live in an America where AI companies like Flock can work with the government to track our every movement? Do we want to live in an America where our privacy rights and civil liberties — enshrined in the Constitution — are traded away so that AI oligarchs can collect more information, and increase their profits even more?

The answer must be NO. We cannot allow America to become a surveillance state where a handful of AI oligarchs profit by giving the government the power to track our every movement.

We must come together to stop Flock and AI mass surveillance. That is why I will soon be introducing legislation to do just that.

AMC isn’t even the best theatre in LA

LA AMC discourse doesn’t exist because we all agree that Burbank 16 is the best one
