It’s World Press Freedom Day, and it’s important to make this point: the freedom of journalists isn’t only the freedom to write. This is the first WPFD in 30 years that the news at major media outlets isn’t being preserved. savethearchive.com/newsleaders

The FAA quietly imposed a nationwide drone restriction that prevents filming ICE and other federal agents within half a mile. It’s an attack on the First Amendment.

AI is here to rob you: of wages, of intellectual property, of trustworthy info sources. Another tool to oppress us & make us compliant; so worried about survival & what is true that we become too overwhelmed to fight back. Which is why we all need to join together & fight, supporting one another

This has been said before but please understand that the trillion dollar problem Al was invented to
"solve" is wages. Corporates are using the Al scare to depress wages. It doesn't have to work right or be productive to reduce workers bargaining power for higher wages. The threat of job loss will keep people silent on poor working conditions and poor pay packets. It is a win win for corporations.

Meta adding face recognition technology to its smart glasses would violate the privacy rights of millions of people and cost the company billions of dollars legal battles. It should abandon its plans. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Seven Billion Reasons for Facebook to Abandon its Face Recognition
Meta’s analysis that it can avoid scrutiny by releasing a privacy invasive product during a time of political crisis is craven and morally bankrupt. It is also dead wrong.

I never noticed this either.
A post on threads from user stephens_bens. It reads 'I'll always remember an interview with Steve Buscemi on Bulleye, Jesse Thorn asked him "As an actor with many decades of varied and outstanding roles across your career, does it ever bother you that one of the things you will most be remembered for is a 3-second gif in which you're wearing a backwards baseball cap and carrying a skateboard?"
And without missing a beat, Buscemi replied "I'm carrying *two* skateboards."
And you know what? He is.'
Below that is a screen cap of Buscemi's famous "fellow kids" moment.

When Neil Postman wrote the prescient & still very relevant book “Amusing Ourselves to Death” in 1985, he played “1984” & “Brave New World” off each other as 2 distinct, separate, dystopian realities. Expect one; receive the other. Even his uncanny prescience couldn’t’ve predicted today’s reality
