Even if you don't care about Black people, you should care about the billions of dollars. Because that's *your* money!

And it's not even spent on solving thefts, SA, or homicide.

Most of it goes to trying to pull over Black drivers and arrest them for weed.

Or stopping *checks notes* jaywalking.🤦🏿‍♂️

Cybersecurity that abstracts the human from the technology is just security theater.
Once you clean up the shit in your DMZ cybersecurity is a question of human desire paths.
Users trespass the lawns of people that never designed for a person. Who endlessly rail against them like they can beat human nature with rage.

But they're the ones that never built it for the fucking human.

I think about this all the time, there could be INCREDIBLE advantages for us as a whole if we used technology for good rather than whatever sort of short term hustle that AI has become...
GPT would have been such a great technology if LLMs were just used to augment search engines. Their natural language processing ability means they can find relevant content no matter how you phrase your query. No more keyword matching, just ask a question, or describe what you’re looking for. 1/2

I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution.

Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.

Okay. The people have spoken.

For every reskeet this gets, I will post a random picture from my camera roll with no explanation (other than alt text).

If I may present an alternative opinion on cloud outages:

Occasional short reminders of fragility in centralization and smoke-testing of our societal systems with effectively inconsequential events, is important.

There is going to be day gigaoutage culminates, due to lack of minoroutage warnings.

If you don’t find this sickening and disgusting, you are in a dark place. Listen to what he says. It’s right there. It’s who he is. It’s who he’s always been. And therefore it’s who we all will be if we keep down this path.
“Whether you like him or didn’t like him, things happen, but [Mohammed] knew nothing about it,” said President Trump about Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman over the killing of Washington Post opinion columnist Jamal Khashoggi. https://wapo.st/4igmwkX

Probably the most jaw-dropping video I've yet seen on all the security vulnerabilities in Flock Cameras. I cannot wait to share in so much of this at our next community town hall.

My regular reminder that, especially if you feel like nationally things are all going to hell in a handbasket, get up to no good in your own neighborhood! Go to local govt meetings. Hold meetings with your neighbors about the stuff you care about. It just might work: www.kgw.com/article/news...

JD Vance knows that undocumented people aren't buying up all the housing inventory, just like he knows that Haitians aren't eating dogs. He doesn't say these things because he believes them. He says these things to speak to his base.

Some of y'all are trying to engage with his point earnestly.

Imagine trying to convince someone a decade ago that this sentence would be a 100% literally accurate description of the American political situation.
The attorney general and the FBI director, a manosphere podcaster bro, pulled into the situation room a member of Congress best known for getting kicked out of a Beetlejuice musical for drunkenly giving her date a handy, in order to pressure her about the president's child sex trafficking scandal.
