Exploring and enjoying life.

I use to live tweet my reactions to HTGAWM in college. Just a little around 2014. Now ppl make videos on YT & TT videos doing this. I was ahead and now I’m behind on the game. 😢

@Honestlybless @_the6thman They’ve used the song since Oct. I definitely heard it during the second home game against OKC. While the commentators were talking about SGA, you can hear it in the distance. Ppl only noticed it bc during the finals they focused more on the team intros than other series.

Anything going on in San Antonio, tonight, folks? I was bored and wanted something to do... (It worked last time so here it goes again 😉)

Let's say it again... "The Spurs are the Western Conference Champions!". My first one as a fan!

Ring paid somewhere between $8 and $10 million for a 30-second Super Bowl spot to tell 120 million viewers that their cameras now scan neighborhoods using AI.

The math is wild. Ring has roughly 20 million devices in American homes. Search Party is enabled by default. The opt-out rate on default settings in consumer tech is historically around 5%. So approximately 19 million cameras are now running AI pattern matching on anything that moves past your front door. Today the target is dogs. The same infrastructure already handles “Familiar Faces,” which builds biometric profiles of every person your camera sees, whether they know about it or not.

Ring settled with the FTC for $5.8 million after employees had unrestricted access to customers’ bedroom and bathroom footage for years. They’re now partnered with Flock Safety, which routes footage to local law enforcement. ICE has accessed Flock data through local police departments acting as intermediaries. Senator Markey’s investigation found Ring’s privacy protections only apply to device owners. If you’re a neighbor, a delivery driver, a passerby, you have no rights and no recourse.

This tells you everything about Amazon’s actual product. The customer paid for the camera. The customer pays the electricity. The customer pays the $3.99/month subscription. And Amazon gets a surveillance grid that would cost tens of billions to build from scratch, with an AI layer activated by default, and a law enforcement pipeline already connected.

They wrapped all of that in a lost puppy commercial because that’s the only version of this story anyone would willingly opt into.

I’m obsessed with the Sugar cane/green tree videos from during the HT show! It’s so cute bc they all have an excited energy. Also, as someone with a short stint in tech theatre, I also love watching bts details.

Some people on IG are posting photos from 2016. Apparently, all I did was go to concerts and go drinking at Faust. 🤣

WooooW. UT Austin getting rid of degree flag requirements is really disappointing. Another step in dismantling humanities education. It’s clear what they’re planning and I have so many thoughts. In a time when apathy seems to be increasing, this is sad.

Grimes tweeting about societal expressions in Sailor Moon and Japanese Fashion etc and I’d just like to say that these are not new ideas. There’s academic journals and books about these sociological connections. Her tweets are an example of why studying humanities is important.

Veterans didn’t know they were DEI hires?

NOW IN LIVING COLOR! I'm excited to show you guys the cover of The Raven Boys' graphic novel adaptation, coming August of '25 in both paperback and hardcover, the first in a full-series adaptation. You can see full details on @PenguinTeen and you can pre-order signed, personalized copies from @justonemorepage.

I'm so proud of this adaptation. Sas and I first began talking about a graphic novel adaptation in 2018, and now, with Steph, we've got a beautiful, funny, lush volume that is exactly what I wanted out of a visual version of the story.
