This is insane:

Edmonton Police authorized a *7 month* surveillance operation targeting a journalist critical of police and followed his family doing mundane things

This covert operation was supposedly necessary to determine who vandalized a statue honouring a literal WW2 Nazi
so what does 181 man hours of surveillance of you and your family spread out over 7 months look like? one thing the EPS were doing was hanging outside my house taking pictures of my partner and small child. (thread)

Opinion - The automation of writing is almost here. But what will happen to us if we cede our written language to AI?: Our written language has always been blurred by vague usage, clichés and careless generalities. But the advent of AI-generated text brings a far riskier degradation

"ICC Arrest Warrants for Netanyahu vs. Putin: A Case Study in US Hypocrisy"

The hysterical and hypocritical response to the ICC warrants today shows Washington DC is "this weird fantasy land where Israel can simply do no wrong," @mattduss.bsky.social tells Zeteo's @premthakker.bsky.social.

Strange detail:

An office building near the site of the arrests issued a security alert hours before this demonstration and police were seen stationed on the building premises hours in advance

The property manager confirmed to me they’ve never issued alerts like this during past demonstrations
