Our thoughts are with Cassius’ family and friends during this incredibly difficult time.
Badges hiding coming soon on Discord!
Discord is working on a feature allowing to hide badges, which users have been requesting for a long time.
Additionally, they plan to implement the ability to reorder badges.
However, one of the test variants of this feature suggests that Discord is considering locking hiding and reordering for the Nitro badge.
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.
When two columns buckled on the 21st floor of 235 E 42nd Street, City workers jumped into action.
Yesterday I invited the DOB and FDNY first responders to City Hall and thanked them for their bravery.
We’re fortunate to have dedicated civil servants like these.
New York City’s flags are flying at half-staff today in honor of Staff Sergeant Angel Sarah Rampersad, a proud daughter of Ozone Park who devoted her life to serving our country.
She met that calling with courage, integrity and a deep commitment to others.
Today, our city mourns her loss, grieves with her family and all who loved her. May her memory be a blessing.
Uber Eats and DoorDash hid tip buttons and set default tips below 10%. As a result, tips for delivery workers fell 79%.
In January, we made these corporations change their apps — and in the past six months, we've put $104 million back in delivery workers' pockets.
This is only the beginning.
I am officially nominating Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) for the Nobel Peace Prize.
No President in History has ended the same war so many times.
Our Dear Leader has ended the war with Iran at least 38 times by CNN’s count.
No President has ever done this before.
And he is nowhere near finished ending it.
It’s a record worthy of the Nobel committee’s recognition. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
rest easy oliver you will always be an inspiration.

hold your friends and family close
