I am so glad people are catching on to this. No, a surveillance state isn't about finding your cute lost puppy. No one is building camera networks for that. Peter Thiel, Jeff Bezos and the rest of the broligarchs are shooting their shot at a corporate techno state. www.ms.now/opinion/ring...
Opinion | Ring is using lost dogs to make the surveillance state adorable
The same technology the Amazon-owned company uses to find lost dogs could easily be turned against their owners.

This is brilliant. I am a bit of a technocrat and a systems nerd. Articles about state capacity get me excited 🤓 🚀
The comment section is hilarious. It's like, "underfunding and politicization of institutions will fix this issue" and "bureaucrats are the worst! Get rid of them all!"

It's still a cover-up
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche admits that the DOJ excluded all images showing “death, physical abuse, or injury” from yesterday’s Epstein files release.
DEATH? The truth is probably far worse than anyone can imagine.
13,000 unredacted mentions and counting.

"House Republicans have just created a precedent that allows Congress to compel former presidents to testify under threat of contempt, which can result in charges that may lead to jail." Someone's not thrilled.

The olympic audience cheers American athletes.
But the moment JD Vance appears on screen they boo.
The world doesn't hate *America.*
It hates our corrupt, lawless leaders. And the moment we remove them from power, the vibe can shift again.

I stumbled upon John Denver in the Mitchell Trio's 1966 recording of "Your Friendly Liberal Neighborhood Ku Klux Klan."
It speaks to so many things happening today that it gives me new respect for John Denver.
