remember that Atlantic article where she was like, the parade will bring lots of normal Americans close to the military and seeing the tanks up close will be cool and make them want to join the military and will bring us national pride and everyone will have a fun time

was just thinking how my dog has been to mexico three times what a charmed life

Story out today about Flock ALPRs getting audited in IL, and the 18 cameras stationed in Evanston for @evanstonroundtable.bsky.social: evanstonroundtable.com/2025/06/13/s...

most damaging thing any executive can say is “What’s our AI play” and unfortunately coming to companies and organizations that should know better www.404media.co/wikipedia-pa...

Wikipedia wanted to use AI summaries at the top of article pages. Editors said please please don't www.404media.co/wikipedia-pa...

Nvidia hosted 'Brazilian Facesitting Fart Games' posts until I pinged them. a CDC site hosts “Gay Impregnation,” “Gay Firry[sic] Porn,” and “Planes in Top Gun.” Google's AI Overview surfaces spam info about cat cafes. this is the real zombie internet: www.404media.co/spam-blogs-a...

only on this website

New: A judge refuses to throw out the FTC's repair monopoly lawsuit against John Deere. Means two major antitrust suits over its repair practices are going to trial, which is a big deal: www.404media.co/john-deere-m...

AI spammers took control of domains owned by Nvidia, the CDC, Stanford and other major companies/government entities and overloaded them with blogs with headlines "Brazilian Facesitting Fart Games" and "Gay Firry Porn" www.404media.co/spam-blogs-a...

would like to be represented by politicians in California who talk about this pretty much 24/7 and propose and do things to make it not so

it’s so funny that the name of the company is Meta

I spent some time at the site where protestors incinerated five Waymos—all lined up neatly in a row in downtown LA—and spoke to journalists, eyewitnesses and activists who were there. This is how protestors weaponized Waymos and Lime scooters, and turned them into icons of the anti-ICE uprising

New from 404 Media: DHS flew Predator drones over the LA anti-ICE protests. As well as flight data this is further corroborated with air traffic control audio. The audio mentions "TROY" (callsign used by DHS) and "Q-9" (shorthand for MQ-9, the Predator B drones) www.404media.co/dhs-flew-pre...

Scoop: GitHub code shows Trump administration is building a platform to "accelerate" AI across the government called ai.gov that is supposedly going to launch on the Fourth of July www.404media.co/github-is-le...

NEW: A data broker owned by major airlines sold domestic US flight data to DHS, telling the dept. not to disclose that, according to records obtained by @404media.co—copublished in partnership with @wired.com. No paywall bc FOIA @josephcox.bsky.social w/ the scoop: www.wired.com/story/airlin...

Airlines sell passenger data to the feds through a separate data broker they spun up and put in the contract that DHS is not allowed to tell anyone that it comes from the airlines: www.404media.co/airlines-don...

New from 404 Media: Delta, United, American etc don't want you to know they sold your flight data to DHS. The country's airlines sell bulk names and flight itineraries to DHS to be searched without a warrant. Contract tells DHS to not reveal where this data came from www.404media.co/airlines-don...

A group of senators wants Meta "to immediately investigate and limit the blatant deception in the responses AI-bots created by Instagram’s AI studio are messaging directly to users.” www.404media.co/senators-let...

Gonna try to be nuanced here and speak broadly: There are several reasons to be skeptical of driverless cars, but the biggest one is the fact that they need to record everything in order to function. And then police see them as an extension of the surveillance state and act accordingly

important note: the LAPD has figured out it can get footage from Waymos: www.404media.co/lapd-publish...

i played a game i got for $5 for 1,000 hours

These are the various military and police aircraft surveilling LA protests: www.404media.co/dhs-black-ha...
