The head of Homeland Security can't even manage to secure her badge.I'd say they aren't sending their best people, but they really are.https://www.cbsnews.com/news/kristi-noems-purse-stolen-id-cash-washington-dc-restaurant/

The line between "we only surveil criminals" and "everyone we surveil is a potential criminal" doesn't exist.When people say the first, they mean the second. This only gets more true over time, and as surveillance data are stored and maintained.

They promised us flying cars, and we got exploding Teslas. They promised us AGI, and we got Zuckerberg's sexual fantasy chatbots.

I'm really surprised the security geniuses working for DOGE didn't catch the security issues with TeleMessage. So very surprising. https://www.404media.co/senator-demands-investigation-into-trump-admin-signal-clone-after-404-media-investigation/

I'm starting a car rental business. I take cars that are parked on the street and rent them out.Asking for consent would kill my business.#aiLogic

If chemtrails actually existed, exposure to them might explain this.But because chemtrails don't exist, the most likely explanation for this useless legislation is blatant stupidity.https://gizmodo.com/lousiana-house-passes-legislation-to-fight-weather-controlling-chemtrails-2000610217

@futurebird This, this, this. If all the money spent on tech that didn't work was put into implementing what you describe our educational system would be stellar.

Millions of people protested peacefully against Trump.Violence, in the few places where it happened, was instigated by law enforcement and counter-protesters.https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/06/15/how-many-people-attended-no-kings/84219725007/

This is how law enforcement is trained to treat normal behavior as a threat of violence.This makes us less safe.They literally see a person walking past as an enemy. When you see claims of "protestor violence" it will often be a lie. What they call violence is normal -- and constitutionally protected -- behavior.https://www.wired.com/story/dhs-tells-police-that-common-protest-activities-are-violent-tactics/

How about billions of people can keep their old pictures and a few thousand oligarchs give up their private planes?

When you buy and use Amazon Ring products, you are siphoning data to Flock, and to law enforcement.And yes - this is the same Flock that cops in Texas used to surveil a woman in Texas who accessed medical care.Don't use Ring products.https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025/10/ring-cameras-are-about-to-get-increasingly-chummy-with-law-enforcement/

Imagine being the richest person in the world and you still need to force computers to say nice things about you because real people won't.

What's more than a little surreal is that the school districts that have price gouged by Amazon go full Stockholm Syndrome and defend Amazon.https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/dec/04/us-schools-amazon-algorithmic-pricing

@futurebird I've been an edtech spectator (and at times a practitioner) for a very long time - and I was a classroom teacher for over a decade prior to that.And I often wonder: what if the billions of dollars spent on educational technology with zero research base was spent on class size, meals, teacher training, school based health centers -- where would we be?But we'll throw good money after bad because AI has a better marketing budget than kids and teachers.
