Davethegreat @davethegreat.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Buried in this story - the PDX cops used a Flock-style camera. They indeed have them, just not under the Flock name so they are not getting all the anti-Flock activism right now. Same thing though. We are all being surveilled by our cops every time we leave our house, and there’s no oversight. 100

Davethegreat @davethegreat.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Ultimately, the only power the Supreme Court has is the ability to give orders to lower courts. Everything from judicial review to injunctions to contempt proceedings hinges on it. They don’t really strike down laws - they just make it known that courts will not honor those laws. 100

Davethegreat @davethegreat.bsky.social · 20/08/2026I broke a grease fitting on my boat, which just goes to show that maintenance is for losers.

Davethegreat @davethegreat.bsky.social · 18/08/2026I hear this CONSTANTLY from people who still believe in runaway “cancel culture.” They usually mention Blazing Saddles as an example of a now-forbidden artwork.

Davethegreat @davethegreat.bsky.social · 05/08/2026I spent the last month restoring a boat. It was so much fun. A “pocket cruiser” which I installed a shower and toilet and fridge and stuff into.
