Georgia Democrats pick state senator to replace John Lewis on Nov. U.S. ballot

The Republican nominee who will now run against Williams is African-American Angela Stanton-King, who has been a television personality and served in prison after being implicated in a 2007 stolen vehicle ring. President Donald Trump pardoned her early this year.

This is an example of normalized #creepytech:

#Minnesota police use a drone to spy on secluded nude sunbathers.

From article: #Police Sgt. Randy Mahlen told WCCO that using drones "would be no different than a surveillance camera in a public place for a high-crime area."

This normalizes surveillance & lumps nudity in with “high-crime” in an attempt to normalize drones accessing our #private and secluded moments.

@mathlover It's dangerous to call my mom during Lifetime sessions too. Also for interrupting unintentional comedy

I'm actually glad I got suspended from Twitter before everything caught fire

Apple crushes one-man repair shop in Norway’s Supreme Court. This is terrible, we can't allow huge companies to block third parties from repairing their devices! All it does is waste resources, patronize consumers and stifle competition. https://repair.eu/news/apple-crushes-one-man-repair-shop/ #right2repair
