Mass Surveillance -> Mass Spying. Yikes. (I had never distinguished these)

"The Internet Enabled Mass Surveillance. A.I. Will Enable Mass Spying.

Spying has always been limited by the need for human labor. A.I. is going to change that."

Surveillance reports what you do, Spying what you say. Tech made mass surveillance cost effective. AI summarization makes mass spying possible. Gov's and Corp'es will dive in according to

expert Bruce Schneier

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s false claims are Politifact’s Lie of the Year

“Kennedy’s political following is built on a movement that seeks to legitimize conspiracy theories.”

Think about how bad he has to be to beat out Trump for “Lie of the Year“!

America is doing great, & Republicans want you to think it’s being destroyed.

They also want you to think America was doing great during the Trump presidency, when it was actually being destroyed.

Their levels of gaslighting, projection, propaganda, fake news, & lies are nuts.

If one cannot take pride in something as innate as one's race, and is willing to discard it for expediency, one will not hesitate to discard anything else either, including the political interests of one's constituents.

#NikkiHaley is #FakeWhite #Fake

I’m George Takei and I support this message.

Video released of an elite unit of cops from Louisville Metro Police violent crime unit throwing drinks on citizens and recording it to share with other officers

If you think firing a few “bad apples” will fix the problem: you’re delusional

The system is set up to select psychopaths like these

Imagine how little they think of the people they are supposed to protect to be capable of something like this

The problem is the system, not just the individual

@rombat I am a #pizzahut delivery driver in #sandiego #California. There has been a lot of reporting on this issue that, while appreciated, is inaccurate.

Two PH franchises in CA have laid off all their drivers -1,200 drivers - in LA, Orange County, San Bernardino, Sacramento, and elsewhere. There are many PH franchises, and they are all responding to this differently.

My franchise has not laid us off & calls for a boycott will negatively impact those of us who remain. Thank you for caring!

Ergh, I always find #introduction posts difficult, because I don't know what to say about myself. I guess I'll start with the basics:

I'm a 38 year old Autistic digital nomad, originally from Toronto, Canada.

Two years ago, my wife and I bought a motorhome and moved in full-time with our German Shepherd, Beau. We picked up Zoe, our Husky, while in Las Vegas in the winter of 2022.

I post a lot about my experience being Autistic, as well as off-grid solar power and RVing. I also post a bit about tech and software development, since that's what I do for a living.

When I'm not in burnout, I love to tinker and dabble in a wide variety of interests, such as writing, drawing, playing guitar and making music, renovating and upgrading my RV, photography, game dev, 3D rendering and animation, ... did I miss any? Probably.

Some things I'm proud of:

- I completely rewired my RV to run off-grid from solar and battery power myself.
- I'm a certified scuba diver.
- I've lived in 8 different countries.
- I love learning and I've taught myself almost everything I know

Fairness is one of my most fundamental core values. I believe that all humans are equal and that everyone deserves joy and to live the life they want.

While I generally find being social exhausting, I love meeting new people. I express myself much more easily and comfortably over text than face-to-face or over the phone, even with the people closest to me.

On one hand, I don't know what else to say. On the other hand, I feel like I could probably ramble on forever with no focus at all.

Got any questions? Feel free to ask. 💚

Today is the 131-year-anniversary of Wounded Knee Massacre. The US Government took their land, broke a treaty and guarantee to give them food and supplies, then sent the U.S. Army, who killed 300 Lakota including 60 women & children😓

The US Govt then:
•Awarded 20 medals of honor to the soldiers guilty of genocide
•Refused to pay reparations or build a memorial
•Waited 100 years to apologize

modern society is so divorced from our food sources that most people who eat pop tarts have never actually killed one themselves
