On this day, Indigenous people and allies confront the settler-colonial narratives of “Thanksgiving,” observing it instead as a National Day of Mourning.

The bizarre framing of the hand position and movement hides the truth that this is just another useless system to let school administrators do what they do best: waste money and immiserate poor students
![Here’s a timeline of the Kenwood High incident on Oct. 20, according to school officials:
7:04 p.m. — Omnilert sent an alert for review
7:05-7:06 p.m. — School system safety personnel and the Maryland Safe Schools facilitator reviewed the alert and canceled it.
7:17 p.m. — Kenwood’s principal reported the alert to a school resource officer. “Because this alert was received after school hours, the SRO called the local [police] precinct,” school officials stated.
7:23 p.m. — Police arrived at Kenwood after receiving a report of a suspicious person with a weapon.
Trained school system safety professionals review the images and either validate or cancel alerts based on what they see. Canceling means that no action is taken. Validating means that safety personnel notify police.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:bc6mgrkful5zby6tozdlrdxk/bafkreiefkeriyudgcgzhsfjhlikxbs4hk7tatmc6ebgp3kqvlrohysnvtm@jpeg)
![“The Omnilert system did not detect a single blue potato chip bag as a threat,” the report stated. “The perceived threat was based on the student’s hand movement, including its position and angle.”
Investigators reported that Allen was holding an “unidentified item that extended slightly beyond the fingers and was held at a slight angle near the hip or pocket level.”
Looking at the image on a phone screen and zooming in on the student’s hand “could cause the user to overlook the cancellation text message” that was sent after staff determined it was a non-issue.
The Kenwood principal viewed the alert in a text, clicked the link that led to the video of the event and paused to enlarge the image.
“The principal said that it wasn’t until after they watched the video, tried to contact safety staff, and spoke with BCoPD [Baltimore County Police Department] personnel — who informed them that the police had cleared the school grounds — that they noticed a cancellation had been issued,” the report stated.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:bc6mgrkful5zby6tozdlrdxk/bafkreic3lfa5qgka4z2gvhc223rzibsl5lzbyhrqbq2azqqcqkt7o4nwzm@jpeg)

I love seeing all the fails on /r/smoke (so many people just do not know how to brine or even defrost a turkey)
but the insistence of people on /r/sousvide have to fight about long settled food science drives me up the wall

AI kind of feels like the endgame of this bit Graeber described in the original Bullshit Jobs essay: these people have been so thoroughly cleaved from any sense of purpose that they resent those who have one. They hate artists for their skill and think poverty should be the price of having a calling

It would obviously be easier to maintain at least halfway decent Regional Rail frequency on holidays if they weren't set up to require so many conductors.
The current practice of slashing service seems especially dangerous on holidays like Thanksgiving when many folks drink.
