This is a short from one of the all-time bangers of feature animation, "Memories."
"Cannon Fodder" features an entire militarized civilization centered around an endless war with an unseen enemy, wherein the children are indoctrinated with the single purpose of fighting that war from grade school.

Dynamic pricing should be illegal.
(1/11) If you live in NY, you’ve probably started seeing a new warning: “THIS PRICE WAS SET BY AN ALGORITHM USING YOUR PERSONAL DATA.” This mandatory disclosure went into effect late last year, and it’s the first attempt by a US state to grapple with a new generation of surveillance pricing.

ICE is using a Navy war-fighting contract (WEXMAC TITUS) to turn warehouses into detention sites in the US.
They're using mil procurement to skip transparency & local safety laws.
Call your Reps and demand:

2. Where is the oversight?

Newsom is not the one. And he’s clearly running all the old and new plans that establishment Dems think will make someone the inevitable candidate. The social media, the book tour, the deliberately selected “stands,” the podcast, overseas trips. So, agreed that we should call that out!
