Leisure activities have also been on display, it's not how much fun ypu have gaming it's pvp, acheivements, and how 'good' you are. With books people go nuts doing reading challenges. I think these things can be good but people may not realize the point is enjoyment.

I wonder if the reason people are so anxious is we are over connected. Seems like you can't just enjoy stuff, you have to hear everyone's opinions on things. Heaven forbid you like bands or games most people don't like.

If you can't attend a protest, I would suggest speaking to your values in whatever ways you can, and attending to something *you can do*. Remember, many things are happening at once. They want to keep your head spinning. Let purpose preempt despair.

Seeing the US government pump so much money to keep AI afloat made me realize: we can have great things with that endless money. We can have high speed rail. We can have better infrastructure. We can have fiber optic internet nationwide, but our government would rather send money to AI jerks.

Seen this argument?

“Those cameras are not capturing anything that the naked eye wouldn’t see walking down the street.”

That's deliberate misdirection intended to make you accepting of arbitrary automated surveillance.

A free society would not accept police officers standing at every one of these locations 24/7, logging *everyone* passing by. Yet these AI cameras do exactly that at speed and scale, just hidden within a discrete box of electronics.

We should NOT accept that either!

This dog was spotted politely waiting by a pizza truck. He doesn’t have to say what he wants. They already know his order. It is pizza. 13/10 (IG: lauren.bardini)
a vertical shot of a placid, cloudy day. on the left, a barren tree reaches up to the overcast sky. on the right, a boxy white food truck has parked with its little window propped open for business. you can just make out the word “pizza” in black curly lettering on the front of the truck. in the center of the photo, sitting squarely in the middle of a green bike lane, a rather large dog that resembles a golden retriever or great pyrenees is sitting patiently in profile, staring expectantly at the food truck’s window while basking in the glow of its lights.
