That’s great, you shock them in the hands and they won’t put ‘em on people

…oh dang, that’s not what that means, huh

@locationsariel Boooooooooo!

Holy shit... Wired reports that back in May, the U.S. Military was testing an experimental GPS jammer and and caused a civilian plane to crash into the side of a mountain, killing everyone on board.

I sit around, drink coffee, and occasionally fix things, including things that didn’t really need to be changed. Basically I’m a dad.

Ladies, imagine someone doing your cooking, cleaning, running errands & endless invisible domestic labor. Imagine how much TIME that would free up for your career and hobbies. For the average male, that IS their reality. Then they turn around and claim women "contribute nothing."

[theleahfiles @leahfiles]

They tell you Flock cameras are there to fight crime.

So I pulled the actual police logs from my new favorite website (haveibeenflocked . com). 233 million searches that they have been able to get via FOIA requests and here's what "fighting crime" actually looks like:

> 84% had no case number at all
> The most common reason a cop typed in the box? Blank, nothing
> Only about 9% were even tagged as a real crime.
> "Test" and "training" show up as reasons, run on real people's cars
> The FBI and Homeland Security were wired into local camera networks your town never signed off on.

So what is Flock?

FLOCK: 100,000+ plate cameras bolted to poles across America. They read your plate everywhere you drive and never forget.

NOVA: Flock's AI that turns your plate into you. Your name, address, family, everyone you know, in seconds, no warrant.

SIGNALTRACE: a competitor's tool that tracks the Bluetooth off your phone, your AirPods, your watch. Doesn't even need your plate.

Then I followed the money and the lead investor behind Flock also funds an Israeli company that can hack cameras and change the footage. Another lead investor backs a 911 app that flips on your phone's camera and mic. Trace it all the way back and you hit a former Israeli prime minister and Jeffrey Epstein's money.

@locationsariel @united Duuuuuuude. On the Reddits for San Diego Comic Con, there are SO many people with canceled flights. Wtf is happening.

[Fortesa Latifi @hifortesa]

hey, in the reporting of my book, I found out that the Mormon Church directly pays Mormon influencers. so if you’ve ever wondered why there are so many Mormon family vloggers & mom influencers, that’s a big reason:-)

[Rae @raedioactive]

@KevR75 @ClaireMax I second this. I wasn’t even trying to get out of jury duty, but the prosecutor asked me a question in voir dire that amounted to “do you think this kind of case should be litigated in court” and I said I agreed that it was valid. The defense dismissed me.

@theashleyray Seriously! I wanted to punch that guy by 15 minutes into the episode.

[Smokey 🇨🇷 @SmokeTheShow]

When I was growing up you were largely seen as a rude freak for running up and filming a stranger - now I see videos of people asking not to be filmed and the comments are like “WHATEVER KAREN YOURE IN PUBLIC” and I guess I’d just like to congratulate the mass surveillance psyop

[Paco is a Second-Round Duck! 🦆🏒 @PacoTorresCA]

Dear out-of-state pundits & press:

You’ll excuse me if, as a California voter of color, I’m not willing to reduce my options to exercise my right to vote because you can’t be more fucking patient waiting for election results from a state you don’t even live in.

[👑 @King2Eclipse]

Hackers are utterly incapable of hacking shit that would actually benefit people. Want them to hack the FAFSA to get rid of student loans?? Sorry their too busy hacking cartoon studios and threatening to release something people were already planning on watching

‘Cause fuck the environment, I guess

Here's our video of the explosion at Launch Complex 36. It happened about 9 pm ET (0100 UTC) as Blue Origin was beginning a static fire test of its New Glenn rocket.

@newlinesmag @dr_anasekulic Thank you for this scholarship, @dr_anasekulic! I’ve felt right about the “keep safe from abduction” tale, because (aside from obvious logical problems) it falls too neatly in line with Ottoman grievances that have been used to justify racist violence against Balkan Muslims.

[Film The Police LA @FilmThePoliceLA]

Journalist Sean Beckner-Carmitchael received a likely rib fracture while requesting a supervisor after press were injured by LAPD cops on Friday night.

Ten press members were detained and/or injured.

🎥: @ACatWithNews

[Rae @raedioactive]

They peeled out and now there’s sirens and helicopters in a different part of LA. The LAPD never “stands down”. They were always heading out to terrorize somewhere else.

[Anthony Cabassa @anthonycabassa]

UPDATE: It appears LAPD has just received a stand down order.

Over 100 officers in riot gear moving in to disperse protestors, just got in their vehicles and left. Every single one.

Protestors are beginning to trickle back to the federal detention center to confront DHS.

[Freedom of the Press Foundation @FreedomofPress]

It’s World Press Freedom Day this Sunday.

Traditionally, that’s when we call out foreign regimes for targeting journalists. But this year, the call is coming from inside our own (White) house instead. https://t.co/KoEzPFodKN
