Lying is the bedrock of any surveillance state. There’s no way ice isn’t all over these camera networks, and Bezos has no accountability to anyone on privacy issues. Ring doorbells hurt democracies. It even hurts non-democratic states like the US. www.digitalcameraworld.com/cameras/secu...

Amazon denies that ICE can access Ring camera footage via opt-in ‘Community Requests’ feature
“Ring has no partnership with ICE, does not give ICE videos, feeds, or back-end access” – but alarm bells ring over who can access opt-in ‘Community Requests’

The man who literally wrote the book on the use of vehicles as ramming weapons says any claim Good used hers as such is false, and that her execution, followed by the false claim, is "death squad behavior."

Strong Journalism from Strange Places As the corporate stranglehold on American media pinches the flow of truth to a trickle, the desire to tell and to hear truthful stories remains unabated. To that end, unlikely journalists have stepped into the breach.

I was in the backseat of the car, my two best friend brothers in the front whipping along a gravel road at an alarming speed. The elder drove as the younger blasted master of puppets from the boom box between them. Then without warning the elder brother tore out the tape, throwing it into the road.

My ten year old was downstairs listening to le Tigre and basically I think the kids can raise themselves at this point.

Read this post, read this thread, and then read the newsletter, and understand that all but a vanishingly few of us are One Very Bad Day away from complete ruin - and that's the system working as designed.

Because I’m late to all pop culture I just learned about Aldous Harding and good gravy she’s amazing. I love “imagining my man” so much I’ve listened to it an embarrassing amount of times this week.

Without getting into too much detail, my 10-year-old goes to a progressive outdoor (outdoor) day school. Last year they had to call off their drag story time because the Proud Boys threatened to show up armed. So it’s not just the guns, it’s the fascism. I know, I am stating the obvious. Be well.

I lost my wallet 3 weeks ago. Woke up this morning it was next to me in bed. Nobody in the house say they put it there. A haunting or a lying?

My Ettorre kettle from MoMa came today! Very exciting to see any Pomo designs in production. This is a reproduction of a design by Sottsass in a new colorway by Bodum. RETVRN!

Just a note to say that this morning I’ve had a lovely conversation with some completely reasonable human beings on this app. Who knew such a thing could be possible? This is a very strong start. Four-star vibes.

All elected officials and judges should be forced to retire at 65. Think about all the talented young leadership driven from politics by the knowledge that those with the power hold on to it with a literal death grip. And as ALAB podcast taught us, dementia among judges is a real problem.

I bought this kettle I won’t use because it’s the first time I’ve seen an affordable new object designed by my king Etorre Sottsass. I’ve never been more excited for something I have no use for. The MOMA store changed the colors but we don’t talk about that.

The scale of these little punch windows in these blind arches is a choice. This is a church building, and there’s a metaphor there about promises I’m too respectful to make sober.

@anfurman.bsky.social is my favorite designer. And he’s on the not bad site! Check him out he’s super talented and wrote the architecture book of the year “Queer Spaces” with Joshua Mardell. It has a beautiful cover you have to see in person.

Look at the little Pomo guy. He lives in downtown Columbus and straddles the flood wall. I love him and his unnecessary barrel vault.
