New from 404 Media: police used a nationwide network of Flock cameras to search for a woman who self-administered an abortion, said it was for her 'safety'. But new docs show they considered charging her with a crime as part of a 'death investigation' into the fetus

Police Said They Surveilled Woman Who Had an Abortion for Her 'Safety.' Court Records Show They Considered Charging Her With a Crime

Court records show that the narrative Flock and a Texas Sheriff's Office has told the public isn't the whole story, and that police were conducting a 'death investigation' into the abortion.

i see where meta was coming from partnering with ray-ban for their spy camera glasses but i think a smarter brand synergy would have been dr. scholl's. just design them to be incorporated into the heel of a boot by whoever slaps them off the purchaser's face. save everyone the trouble

For the past few weeks instead of reading the news i have been making a handheld game console. It has a 1.7" display and a 400Mhz CPU. The front is a trackpad. It does not go online. It does one thing (plays Go), and hopefully does that better than anything else that fits in a coin pocket.

I wrote about why the regrettable conclusions of Ezra Klein pissed me off so badly in the last couple weeks.

On moral cowardice in an era that calls for clarity, and a popular political instinct to try to solve divisions of abuse by ignoring causes. www.the-reframe.com/eventually-y...

Can we stop calling an artificial representation of a person by a human-coded name? "She" does not exist. "She" is a reflection of someone's ingenue dreams, but "she" is pixels and code.
