You can watch the surveillance state in America being put up on real time This chart shows the amount of Flock cameras being put up from January 1st 2024 through May 2026 This is horrifying. Wake up before it too late

@CaterinaCatK @Trevornoah You could replace "ice cream jingles" with almost anything and it would still be true

@Trevornoah If you look up the history of some ice cream truck jingles in the US they have very racist origins

American ice cream trucks sound too happy. The ones I grew up with sounded like someone was about to disappear. 😂

@SlaydraTV This is cool but they need to add importable codes

This is horrifying and every American needs to hear this California resident exposes what’s really going on with Flock Cameras in America “I want to be clear what these cameras actually are, and I say that with somebody with 20 years of experience in IT. I've served as the chief network architect for Fortune 500 companies, I've designed data centers, and today I work on cloud infrastructure for one of the largest loan origination companies in the country. I'm not speculating on how this technology works. I've read their patents and I know how it works. Flock advertises these cameras as simple license plate readers. But their own patents tell a different story. They're AI-powered surveillance machines that capture every passing vehicle and person and transmit that data to a private corporate cloud, making it queryable by a multitude of state and federal agencies. The city of Corona does not control that database, and Corona residents have no public record rights against a private company's servers. Our daily movements are being harvested by a $7.5 billion corporation, that only answers to venture capital investors, not to us. Flock did not reach that valuation on their per-camera subscription fees. That math doesn't add up The city council should also understand who they're doing business with. Flock CEO was asked whether the company had any federal contracts. He said no. That was a lie. Public records revealed that Flock had been secretly running a pilot program giving the US Border Patrol access to local police camera data without the knowledge of the cities that paid for the cameras. Now consider who's behind the company and where your data flows. Flock integrates directly with Palantir, a data fusion platform, with a $30 million contract with ICE. Peter Thiel, the founder of Palantir, is also one of Flock's primary investors. These are not separate companies with separate agendas. They are connected actors that are building a connected infrastructure. Palantir's own CEO stated publicly just this month that his technology is being used as a political instrument, designed to reduce the political power of certain voters. And that's the ecosystem that our Corona cameras are feeding into. We're not anti-police at all. We're against mass surveillance of innocent residents by a company with a documented record of deception, built by investors with a stated political agenda. We're asking the City Council to start auditing the queries made against Flock's database, to disclose any data sharing agreements, and to take a vote to cancel the Flock safety contract” I looked more into this and he is 100% right Patents describe broader object detection, including tracking people and pedestrians, patents like US11416545B1. The system uses a centralized cloud database for nationwide queries Data goes to Flock’s private cloud, AWS-based, encrypted. Nationwide lookup is common, 75%+ of customers are enrolled enabling cross-jurisdictional searches. Residents have no direct public records access to the corporate servers. This creates a mass surveillance network feeding a private company’s infrastructure If you ask me this is laying the infrastructure for a mass surveillance network in America. We are being lied to. Cancel all contracts nationwide

@MattModderno The one who knocks.. down contested twos

Just so everyone understands the rules, only real Wizards fans can ever take jabs at the Wizards. The rest of you better watch your mouths. Or else.

@h0rnyforz0rny @MattModderno @Deetalksalot If only they had an incredibly respected, professional, long term duo in place ...

@MattModderno @Deetalksalot We desperately need a new broadcast team for this new era. Chris and Drew are unlistenable

Remember when a member of the Wizards broadcast team called Wizards fans losers because they wanted to tank? Cuz I do. I think an apology is in order.

@MattModderno Without even having heard this, I'm guessing it's the same team member who would defend Ernie Grunfeld to the very end? Rhymes with Piss Chiller?

@jannabtw How'd you get this map screenshot?

Just ran a Pit and EVERY SINGLE ENEMY WAS A GOBLIN. #Diablo4

AOC: All those maps were passed by the state legislatures. Virginia was an election of three million Americans. This court did not overturn a map, it overturned an election. It’s one thing for a court to check a legislature or an executive but the end-all and be-all of power in America should be the people.

@_induuu This bot is wise

I think one of the more interesting dynamics about this is, even if Barkley wasn’t excellent during his tenure as a Rocket, you just don’t talk to people like that, u especially don’t talk to your elders like that. Draymond lacks humility — it’s why he can’t be self-deprecating.

Shai getting ready for Game 2 tonight.

@CaterinaCatK This is the hottest thing you've ever posted

I've taken down healthy grown men, I would crush him into a fine powder.

Call me old fashioned, but I think the soon to be 2x MVP should drive to the basket with the intent to score instead of driving to the basket with the intent to trick the ref.

Winston Churchill fought his depression with bricks. He'd lay them for hours at his country home in Kent. He joined the bricklayers' union. And in 1921 he wrote about why it worked. It took psychology another 75 years to catch up. He called his depression the "Black Dog." It followed him for decades. His method for fighting it back was as basic as it sounds: laying brick after brick, hour after hour. Churchill spelled out his theory in a long essay for The Strand Magazine. People who think for a living, he wrote, can't fix a tired brain just by resting it. They have to use a different part of themselves. The part that moves the eyes and the hands. Woodworking, chemistry, bookbinding, bricklaying, painting. Anything that drags the body into a problem the mind can't solve by itself. Modern psychology now calls this behavioral activation. It's one of the most-studied depression treatments out there. Depression sets a behavior trap. You feel bad, so you stop doing things, and doing less means less to feel good about. Feeling worse makes you do even less. The loop tightens until you can't breathe inside it. Behavioral activation breaks the loop from the action side. You schedule the activity first, even when every part of you doesn't want to. Doing it produces small rewards: a wall gets straighter, a painting fills in, a messy room gets clean. Those small rewards slowly rewire the brain. Action comes first, and the feeling follows. Researchers at the University of Washington put this to the test in 2006. They studied 241 adults with major depression and compared three treatments: behavioral activation, regular talk therapy, and antidepressants. For the people who were most severely depressed, behavioral activation matched the drugs. It beat the talk therapy. A 2014 review of more than 1,500 patients across 26 trials backed up the result. Physical work like bricklaying does something extra on top of this. It crowds out rumination, the looping bad thoughts that grind people down during the worst stretches of depression. Bricklaying needs both hands and gives feedback brick by brick: each one is straight or crooked. After an hour you can see exactly how much wall you built. No room left for the mental chewing. The line George Mack used in his post, "depression hates a moving target," is good poetry. The science behind it is sharper. Depression hates a brain that has somewhere else to be.

Google’s Data Center in New Albany, Ohio uses 387,000 gallons per day. That’s over 141 million gallons per year “What happens to that water? It gets generated with a lot of forever chemicals in it, and we the EPA does not have the equipment to actually clean that out” It’s true standard municipal wastewater treatment plants often struggle with PFAS because these chemicals don’t break down easily and require specialized, expensive removal technology

This guy pranks people by using a Chinese translator for no reason. 😂.

I haven't seen anyone tracking all of the alleged (or open) Trump corruption, self-dealing, and quid pro quos in one place. For the last 15 months, I've been tracking every single tip+story I can find and organizing it. Today, I published a 6,000 word piece with every example.

every once in a while I go back to this and listen to it 40x in a row
