I tried to like Danny Avula. Im always hoping Richmond finally got a good mayor. Then he refused to answer questions about RPD using Flock cameras in illegal ways. Now I find out he wrote condolences emails
to people who lost loved ones with ChatGPT. This is disgusting.

Reading it really feels like it was written with ChatGPT. I have to use LLMs a lot at work. Im very familiar with the feel of the text they write. Also this response is dismissive and terrible.

"We do not coordinate with ICE on immigration actions" said the mayor, while arguing to renew the contract for Flock cameras which DHS has been accessing in violation of Virginia law, and RIchmond Police use the cameras illegally to surveil protest organizers. Danny Avula is a disappointment.

And you know, the RPD was on a list of police departments using Flock and other surveillance tools to document who was at No Kings last year at multiple Richmond, Va rallies so that’s uhhhh an important thing to know

Police are breaking the law with how they use Flock cameras and there will be no accountability. I tried to like Avula but his stance on this is inexcusable. He is currently siding with fascists against our community. I dont care if the reason why is simply ignorance or not.

Ring, Richmond, and the Feeling of Being Watched Leaked emails suggest Ring plans to expand its AI-powered “Search Party” feature beyond lost dogs. What it means for privacy and surveillance in Richmond.

For a lot of us, buying a Ring camera was practical. Packages were disappearing, car break-ins felt closer to home. It wasn’t about building a surveillance network. It was about knowing what happened on your own front steps.

That’s why recent reporting from 404 Media lands differently.

cc: @abigailspanberger.com @mcclellan.house.gov we are charging the police with crimes now, right?

Agter the anti-flock protest at city council, Danny Avula said the cameras were fine because we have laws regarding their use. Well, Virginia State Police are ignoring the laws and ignoring requests for how they are using the cameras. www.wric.com/news/virgini...

The night before the United States started bombing Iran (again), Sam Altman made an agreement with the Department of War.

He cannot be trusted. His company cannot be trusted. It just adds to what I wrote earlier this week.

I will not vote for political candidates who will not vigorously defend trans rights and the rights if all vulnerable people. Hearing Newsom whine about "identity politics" as people are stripped of their rights due to their identity is infuriating.

Mass surveillance looking for political dissent combined with small, fully automomous weapons goes to a very, very bad place.

I dont find a 5 channel 8 step sequencer that interesting even if it is made of wood and uses magnetic checkers. As for the video itself I dont like this style of "its a new thing but we wont just tell you how it works". A voiceover of "now Im doing X which will make Y happen" would go a long way.

Call their bluff: It’s time for data centers to pay sales taxes like the rest of us • Virginia Mercury Tax credits for data centers cost Virginia $1.6 billion dollars in 2025. Ivy Main says it's time they started paying their fair share.

Props to Ivy Main for this reminder:

"...the exemption was projected to cost the state about $1.54 million when it was passed in 2008. In 2025, it cost Virginia $1.6 billion."

Put another way: Data centers cost the state 1000 times more money in 2025 than in 2008.

Mayor Danny Avula of Richmond watching the current administration completely shred the Constitution and rule of law while they kick in peoples doors and haul them away to camps while murdering people in the street in broad daylight: "Flock is great and we made it a misdemeanor to use them wrong"

Meanwhile there will be no charges filed against the people now training agents to deliberately ignore the Constitution.
