"The office of the coroner appreciates your call. Please hold. If you need a dead body picked up, press one. If you might be able to identify a dead body, press two. If you would like to report a body part found in the county, press three. If you are glad a threat to the community has been neutralized, press four. To speak to someone about something even more disturbing, press five."

Heard this crazy story of American "justice" on the Criminal podcast.

A man is arrested for a crime cos the police used AI facial recognition. The man has a solid alibi: he was in hospital cos his child was being born.

6 months later, he pleads guilty. Why? He's been locked up all this time, awaiting trial. The only way he gets to go home to his new baby is to admit to a crime he didn't commit.

This is that craziness @mekkaokereke keeps telling us about.

Current status of The Kremlin / White House friendship:

There will be no robot uprising, because there's no need for robot bodies. Our society is already controlled by networked computers.

Without firing a round they can wipe out most of us, by disrupting food distribution for a couple weeks.

But, they wouldn't even need to do that. Decimate the rich and powerful to feed the poor, and we'll happily help them dismantle this society and rebuild a new one with them in charge.

Golden hour in Okinawa—where the city meets the sky in a burst of fiery colors. The dramatic clouds and glowing city lights make this sunset unforgettable. Have you ever seen a sky like this?

"Restricting content in the classroom and attempting to constrain how children explore and express their identities—as with Florida’s infamous Don’t Say Gay bill—is a form of authoritarianism that seeks to impose a small group of parents’ views on all families." https://www.liberalcurrents.com/what-to-the-maga-right-is-a-child/

It is genuinely heartbreaking to see all of the people losing SNAP benefits.

In West Virginia, 14,000 SNAP participants have lost their benefits.

In Arizona, it’s 500,000. That’s not a typo. Half a million people in AZ no longer have nutrition assistance.

Republicans strike again.

14K West Virginians have lost ...

I am dressed very atypical for me today and it both feels empowering and extremely awkward.

I am pretty modest, despite nearly always being in skinny jeans or leggings.

I am not a glamour girl. I do not bling up or layer scents, I barely wear makeup. Usually eye make up and maybe a dusting of highlighter/powder if I think I look old. When I'm not in combat boots, I'm in sneakers, if I must "dress up" the ballet flats come out.

Today, I am wearing pretty loose fitting and long purple jean shorts with a low cut tropical print shirt. The shirt being my point here. Normally I wear this with another layer under it for modesty but today I was like it's hot and few will see me because I am invisible.

Still, all day I was like 'fek, my boobs are hanging out....hmm, my boobs are hanging out. Whatever.'
(I do not have large boobs)

Yeah!… Kick it

An excellent piece from Vogue about Meta's continuing attempt to make their "smart glasses" fashionable and cool that makes all of the right points about the ways in which normalizing ubiquitous surveillance creates a world we don't want to live in.
