New: We found 50 cops who misused Flock cameras and other license-plate readers for personal purposes, often to spy on their girlfriends or ex-wives. He "watched every single move I made. ... Who do you turn the chief of police in to?" wapo.st/3S6rTuo

She left her ex. He secretly tracked her through a network of policing cameras.
Flock’s array of license-plate cameras was built to fight crime. But at least 50 law enforcement officers were charged with or accused of misusing it and other systems.

I’ve been trying to figure out ways to help raise money for food banks so I’m going to giveaway a 1 year sub to @fangoria.bsky.social (out of my own pocket). Just show me a receipt that you donated at least $10 to any food bank (DMs are ok). I’ll notify the recipient on 11/3! #HorrorFam let’s go!

You all need to treat Harry Potter IP like we’re treating the Tesla brand.
Twitter post/pohoto from JK Rowling who sits on what looks like yacht, taking a puff of what looks like a cigar.  She holds a cocktail close to her face and looks smug as fuck. Text on tweet: I love it when a plan comes together. #SupremeCourt #WomensRights.Text on screen: our.moral.imperative British billionaire JK Rowling has posted several gloating tweets today after the UK
Supreme Court ruled that only 'biological women' legally count as women, excluding trans women from legal protections and safeguards.
Rowling's vicious smear campaign against trans people in Britain has been going on for several years now and has played a major role in cultivating the extremely hostile and toxic environment that exists in the country towards trans people, particularly in the name of liberal 'feminism'.

This is where we are now. The vocal, unhinged tourist grifter minority has made it so a team can’t even celebrate their launch. Because it has an actual historical figure that happens to be Black. Capital “G” Gamerz were a mistake & gaming culture is cooked.

Never forget you don’t need a mandate to do the right thing. You can wear a mask and protect others. You can get boosted. You can help someone in need. You can donate to mutual aid. You can amplify voices different than your own. Caring about one another IS a form of resistance.
