jack asked if i would sketch up a poster to tell people in nearby neighborhoods about the partnership between flock and ring, and this is what i came up with. it can be printed on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper.
![YOUR RING CAMERA IS AN ICE AGENT
[a drawing of a ring camera with an ice agent dragging a person away in its field of vision]
"In October of 2025, Amazon's Ring announced its partnership with FLOCK, an A.I. surveillance group that freely shares its footage with ICE, the secret service, and the navy. Flock customers can use A.I. tools to sift through footage to assist in all manner of operations (like raids and deportations) without a warrant. Unplug Ring! Melt ICE! Protect your neighbors!

Counterpoint: yes it is
AI sits in billions of phones. Refusing to engage won't stop it, just leaves vulnerable people without knowledge. Demand ownership and control, not abstinence.
Abstinence From AI Is Not the Answer
Opinion | Refusing to use AI won’t protect society. Responsible resistance must include gaining knowledge about it.

The Rams would be up two touchdowns if this was indoors and I’d be looking at what’s new on the Criterion Channel, but instead it’s tied and Stafford looks like he’s had a glimpse of how he dies

The worst part about being a leftist and talking to family about shit that's happening is that they make you feel crazy, and then in three years you can see that you continue to be exactly right. I remember talking about all the project 2025 shit and being brushed off as sounding conspiratorial.

And that’s a wrap on Nation of Animation in 2025! This was a bumpy year for the show, what with a lengthy hiatus in the middle of the year, but we’re back and 2026 is gonna be our most professional year yet!
Christmas sure was fun this year! We all watched the usual favorites — like the one about the feuding polar bears? And the one about the aliens discovering Christmas? What’s that? No? We didn’t? …oh.
Well you can hear our thoughts on them here!
