IMO what Flock really needs is a superbowl ad.
Me in an art noveau dining room looking all studious with my notebook.
Out on the edge of the world doing book research and having the docents show me how they would hide things in the walls without destroying the lathe and plaster. 💘

So little, so late. But it's still a beautiful fucking day.
🧵TL;DR the biggest AI companies and the New York Times are destroying history and accountability at the same time. www.techdirt.com/2026/02/17/p...
“We cannot let this regime of data-supercharged fascist witness intimidation become the new normal. It is time to ban facial recognition for good and banning ICE from using it is a great start.” – ❤️Fight’s @liaholland.bsky.social
Also all LeGuin's space stuff.
Right away I think of Monk + Robot series from Becky Chambers, short & sweet...but knowing you I also think that looking to the past would be interesting—rec The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity by Davids Graber & Wengrow.
Also more solarpunk. Hey @chrisrmuscato.bsky.social got recs?
Quote graphic that has an orange background and black font quoted from Lia Holland at Fight for the Future that reads “The conduct of DHS and ICE Agents in the streets of Minneapolis is a preview of the tech-supercharged oppression that we will all face if ICE is allowed billions to build a panopticon. They are already using personal data to intimidate witnesses and deploying warrantless surveillance dragnets across communities. What will these goons do with weapons-enabled drones and real-time facial recognition behind every Flock camera and Amazon Ring doorbell? Let’s never find out.”
We’re urging lawmakers to do everything within their power in order to block ICE’s reign of terror in our communities and halt the build out of surveillance tech infrastructure that will make it impossible for everyday people to do anything at all w/o Big Brother watching.

Read today's piece on @linkletter.org's absolutely legendary legal heroism against garbage surveillance company Proctorio.
Thank you for this story, @ashleybelanger.bsky.social
Reading the stats on how ICE is grabbing people in OR this week mostly by pulling over immigrants in cars, and shaking my fist at everyone who ever believed for a sec that surveillance = safety.
Democrats are preparing to sacrifice our ability to organize online for a hollow political victory, and this impending collapse of digital speech protections will cripple social movements at the very moment they are proving most effective.

Hi! We are fighting this tooth and nail and have been for years even though we lost a major foundation funder because of our vocal and effective opposition to KOSA.
Anyhow here's our donate page ;-) www.fightforthefuture.org/donate/
I quit the post a few years ago, but now I regret that I ever gave them a dime.
The surveillance capitalist business model drives what's coming out of Silicone Valley and it is not going to be the solution for holding abusers accountable or community safety online.
