Hawks is a total rizzcake. You can’t unalive that snack. I’d enter my grief era.

It's not just the government abusing camera surveillance anymore. The private market is doing it too.

I parked my car in a lot and paid ParkMobile $10.55. Later, I received an $85 bill in the mail because, according to them, it took me extra time to drive around looking for a space, park, and then I overstayed by a few minutes. Their cameras recorded the exact time my car entered and exited the lot, and they claim the right to bill me for every minute my vehicle was on the property—even while I was still searching for a parking spot.

Not long ago, many people would have called that excessive or even extortionate. Today, in an age of ubiquitous cameras and automated enforcement, it's increasingly treated as normal.

My only gripe with George Orwell is that 1984 didn't go far enough. It imagined a world where surveillance was primarily a tool of the state. What it missed was how eagerly private companies would embrace the same technology—not just to monitor people, but to monetize every possible moment.

I’m finally working after 7 months out of work after being falsely arrested by MPD + the “SAFE” Task Force. I work 60 hours a week and it’s not enough to compensate for the $60k hole left by police violence. Please help me raise $400 for my daughter’s uniform and school supplies.

Breathing in hefty lungfuls of smoke as I get explosive diarrhea from salad, the sky turns apocalyptic orange while oil companies drill in protected lands, screwworms are eating cattle alive and the president just paid $6 million for rape. And I’m also able to bet on all of it!

Her name is Gina Martin. She was at a music festival in London when a man pushed his phone between her legs and took a photo under her skirt. She reported it to the police immediately. They told her it wasn't a criminal offence. There was nothing they could do.
She went home and decided that was unacceptable. With no legal background, no political connections and no funding she launched a campaign to make upskirting a criminal offence in England and Wales. She petitioned. She lobbied MPs. She spoke publicly about what had happened to her. The government initially blocked the bill.
She kept going. The Voyeurism Act passed in January 2019. Upskirting now carries up to two years in prison. Scotland followed. Other countries are following. A woman at a festival with no lawyer, no funding and no political connections rewrote the law for an entire nation in eighteen months.

I said this about AI well over a year ago. Using it to diagnose and fire people with medical conditions so they lose their insurance AND their income is somehow even more heartless and evil than I’d predicted.

My boyfriend is COVID conscious but not as much as me (he can be a little vain about his beard and how uncomfortable the masks are on him) and I sat him down and talked to him about it and how serious this is for me.

He researched this specialty brand and ordered a bunch hours later. It’s lovely to be heard and seen and not treated like Im crazy.

Lindsey Graham died Friday & his sister has already been sworn in. Remember when Mike Johnson refused to seat Adelita Grijalva for 50 days after she was elected? That is what we are fighting for in the midterms, a return to democracy & fairness and to remove fascist Republicans.

I find it endlessly amusing when men expect a level of domestic labour from me that I don't even do for myself. If I haven't built my own life around cooking every single day, what exactly makes you think you'll be the exception?

you all laughed at rick ross for this in 2023 but i said it then and will again: he's right and he should say it

Four states are suing Meta for $1.4 trillion.

That is one trillion four hundred billion dollars.

Meta’s entire market cap is $1.5 trillion.

So they are asking for 93 percent of the company’s existence.

The math is simple. Number of teenagers exposed to addictive design times the maximum fine per violation under state law.

Millions of teenagers times thousands of dollars per violation.

Equals one trillion four hundred billion.

Meta said no case in history has ever ordered a penalty that large.

They are correct.

No company has ever deliberately engineered a product specifically to addict children then lied about it at scale until Meta.

New Mexico went to trial first.

Jury found Meta liable.

Ordered $375 million in damages.

The judge let the bigger case proceed.

Now four states are asking for 3,733 times that amount.

Meta’s executives told investors to expect material losses on youth scrutiny.

They did not mention $1.4 trillion in the filing.

If the jury sides with the states even partially.

Meta cannot survive the verdict.

Capital raises. Asset sales. Restructuring.

All of it.

The company that said social media addiction is not a real psychiatric condition.

Is about to find out if a jury disagrees.

The trial is August 18.

We need to be clear that what is happening in Cuba right now is Gaza in slow motion.

The 2026-27 El Niño is simply astonishing.

Tropical Pacific waters are running nearly 7 weeks ahead of where they’ve ever been at this point in an El Niño cycle in modern history.

Models now put the peak strength at 3.6°C on the Relative Oceanic Niño Index (RONI), the new standard for measuring El Niño that adjusts for background ocean warming from climate change.

That would beat the previous record (Dec. 1877, the strongest El Niño ever observed) by 0.7°C. In the context of climate, that’s completely blowing the previous record out of the water. For context, an El Niño is informally considered a Super El Niño when, for 3 months, the Niño 3.4 index is 2.0°C or above.

Frankly, expect extreme climate and weather impacts over the next 12-18 months.

Forecasts have also been consistently, aggressively wet for California and the southern US. Many of California’s largest floods have hit during El Niño years, and in very strong events, El Niño typically becomes the single best predictor of a very wet winter in California. It also elevates the odds of a megaflood in the state. @Weather_West’s research found 7 of 8 modeled ARkStorms occurred during moderate-to-strong El Niño years.

The bigger picture: 2027 could be the first year Earth briefly touches 2°C above preindustrial levels. With each successive model update, the forecasted strength of El Niño is increasing, with ensembles now putting a 94% chance on a Super El Niño this winter. Virtually certain.

@mainey_maine Yup same reason why some black folks have no issue joining military to bomb another country as long as they are paid

[Maine @mainey_maine]

A lot of Black folks don’t mind doing America’s racist/islamphobic dirty work as long as they’re getting paid. I would quit my job before I do this kinda work
