This movie makes me so angry at the current state of streaming services If this were back in the days where stuff like Hot Fuzz got theatrical runs, it would be a cult classic. Just an absolute blast. And now its buried in 800 other drops and no one knows it exists.

just a reminder that only water goes in your eyes, don’t wear contacts to a protest if you can help it, hot showers will hurt like hell if you have mace or gas residue on your skin. turn off face ID on your phone. pick a buddy & never leave their side. if detained, ask for a lawyer & then shut up.

this is a great episode of @fivefourpod.bsky.social about your right to remain silent - you have to say out loud that you want to remain silent & then you actually have to stay silent.

Went on a lovely walk, heard many birds, saw some black-capped chickadees and chimney swifts. Walked around a garden in light rain and ran a quick errand. Then a cybertruck drove past me, squeaking loudly in the rain 😒

The French government says it plans to require age-verification — face-scanning, biometrics and ID uploads — to access Bluesky. Users will have to submit to the process each time they open the app. It’s hard to express how dangerous this is and the damage it will do to this community.

Removing pepperball residue from clothing and other items. This is based on my (unfortunately extensive) personal experience and experimentiation. Pepperballs contain powdered PAVA, an oily, synthetic capsaicin analog. The only reliable way to remove it is with a good surfactant soap and water. 1/

Please read this article. The name "AI" has people convinced that LLMs are intelligent when it's closer to a fancy parrot with access to Google. ChatGPT is tearing education and mental health apart. If AI fans are right and "it's just a tool", then it's a tool designed to destroy you.

More info of the exact nature of these sanctions is laid out in the backgrounder. The two far-right ministers can’t do any business in Canada or with Canadians at home or abroad. They also aren’t allowed into Canada.

AI has the most divorced uncle energy of any tech hype cycle, every move like this feels desperate and weird rather than futuristic. Maybe if you have to "train people to use AI" so intensely it's not actually intelligent? and maybe sucks?
