#Disney, etc, target #midjourney for #IP theft. This is ridiculous because: a) The perp is whoever uses AI tools to make pictures of Minions, and b) Are you gonna sue kids who saw a movie at their friend's house and drew some pictures? Or perhaps you should sue #crayola? publ.cc/YvvDjZ

A Texas police officer allegedly accessed **83,000+ ALPR cameras** to trace a woman’s movements after she sought an abortion. These camera networks are privately owned. God knows what they do with this information (as well as selling it the cops). www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

Please repost. Someone very dear to me tried to kill himself this week, in part triggered by the insanity in the news. Take time for yourself. Step away but don’t step out. Especially for my feds and veterans and #LGBTQ+ peeps—you are loved & needed. Ask for help. DMs are open. #resist despair
