"I have nothing to hide! I don't need digital privacy!" Well... - AI companies are scraping your data - Scammers are using AI to get better at their schemes - And yeah, a new era of government surveillance... A starter guide to protecting you online life:

Some good news. Hopefully Denmark does the same. The Euro really makes travel between EU countries completely painless.

Not far off now

They are purging all the transcripts.

The State Department has temporarily paused interviews for foreign citizens applying for student visas from abroad as it sets up new procedures to review applicants’ social media activity.

This is insane www.surfer.com/news/scandal...

jack’s morning wave is a blast from Mavericks, California. it’s called a party wave in polite company onshore. youtube.com/shorts/wKh7o...

Yes, but is there any consequence to this admission? Or any of the crimes or constitutional violations? If every single check and balance is not stopping what is happening now... then they never existed in the first place. When this is over, put ones with actual enforcement capability in place.

Immigrants are awesome and save lives.

I will be voting Green from now on. I would suggest others who want actual change do the same. We don't even have to win, just swing enough votes to make them worry about us the same way they do about Reform UK or other Far-Right parties.

I have spent my whole life trying to be Ace Hunter Clearly I am not alone :-)

This would truly be an amazing discussion to attend. I am such a huge fan of both these individuals, with Gwynne Dyer being a huge influence when I was studying political science.

Sad news. He made some awesome films.

Which is a shame. The two main parties never say anything interesting and rarely answer a question asked. Is in the back benches where the real issues are brought up.

To any Americans thinking of leaving the US to go the UK, thinking you will be escaping things by doing so... this is how the supposed left of politics in the UK is handling equality and basic human rights. Imagine what will happen if they swing back to the right. Move to the EU. It is better.

Also part of the Atlas (which sounds like Axis strangely) network are the Heritage Foundation, the Institute of Economic Affairs, Taxpayers’ Union, and New Zealand Initiative, etc. if you believe that every accusation is a confession then this as global deep state as you can get.

*clutches pearls* I am shocked, absolutely shocked I tell you, that Hillary Clinton would call half of Trump supporters Deplorables. Who would insult American voters like that just because they disagree with you? Why its Un-American and they should not hold public office I tell you. 9 years later.

For anyone in the Hamburg area. I will be there. aws.amazon.com/events/summi...

Guardians of the sea, like the Haenyeo from Jeju Island, provide hope that together we can #BeatPlasticPollution. See how and be inspired to take part: www.worldenvironmentday.global

Was this the same WH counsel that carefully scrutinized and advised him on the fake and completely wrong SA White Genocide evidence he presented? I mean, that would not inspire me with any confidence.

It pains me to say this, but if you are not a US citizen, you should not attend scientific conferences in the US, visit US institutions, or otherwise travel to our country. Right now it's not worth the risk. Hopefully that will change. If it doesn't, science in the US is sunk anyway.

How about before you do that, that first you try letting immigrants join in exchange for expedited citizenship. If you provide a bit of language training, I have no doubt the ranks would swell on such an offer. Stop being afraid of immigration and immigrants. I would sign up for the reserves.

Fingers crossed I can head up next week.

That's awesome

MAGA republicans come to Canada hoping we will drop our guard. They claim the "healing has begun." Lol. They still have a criminal oligarch in the White House and we are still a democratic nation. Here's my talk with @meiselasb.bsky.social on Canada's resistance. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3G4C...

❤️

This helped my mood. One day I hope to get back there.

Brilliant from @seanmorl.com x nowthenmagazine.com/articles/the...

I suspect they have enough poor now to be comfortable, and perhaps aiming to reduce our numbers lest we rise up. I further suspect the reason behind the move to reduce the numbers of poor is that they now believe they have machines to do the work who will not rise up and take what they have stolen.

I became a homeless street kid at 15 because my parents thought I was gay. My friend and I had been drinking heavily at a bonfire party picking up girls. Transit had stopped so we crashed at my place. Dad came in the morning to find us both sleeping in my bed. Out on the street I went.

Still one of my favourite tunes

I want to say that I have the same issue. The difference is that I will l listen to someone more informed than me and then change my opinion based on new information. Then shout that newly informed opinion. Eventually I start sounding like a smart person... at least I hope so :-)

It is important to note because it applies to all of us. If you will not stand up and defend the basic rights to equality and freedom for everyone, then you are denying them to everyone. Then you are the problem, and not some other in a foreign land that you will never visit. We need to fight you.

That is pretty awesome. I keep hoping California will join Canada at some point, but this has more to do with my desire to spend more time surfing there :-) I truly miss my surf trips from Vancouver all the way down down the 101 and into Mexico.

Let me send this message out as well to everyone. The news is certainly pissing me off today, but I do want to send some positivity and hope out there as well. I stand with you and will always defend your right to be you.

Wtf.

This would be a step in the right direction if it can be done.

Really great interview. It's worth a read. www.euronews.com/my-europe/20...

Definitely. Come to Germany. It's nice here 😀
