People Across The US Are Tearing Down Flock's Traffic Cameras - Here's Why - BGR Rapidly growing surveillance tech company Flock is seeing many of its cameras in cities across the U.S. be torn down by concerned citizens, and here's why.

The words of a real leader. A leader of courage and conviction. A leader who puts peace before craven compliance and subjugation of his nation to an illegal war and an autocratic warmongering US President.
Well done Spanish PM Pedro Sanchez!

Hearing some journalists and ABC radio announcers say you have to respect Kyle Sandilands for what he does. Fuck that. He’s a misogynist pig who’s monetized arseholery. Just stop it. Hearing that enabler Jackie O is walking back the resignation. Typical. Publicity stunt for a dying genre. 😏

Americans trust Fauci over RFK Jr. and career scientists over Trump officials RFK Jr. has tried hard to villainize Fauci. Americans still trust Fauci more.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has worked hard to villainize the infectious disease expert, but a year into the job as the country’s top health official, he still holds less sway with Americans than the esteemed physician-scientist.

β€œI was really shocked that an article published in a Springer journal and which presumably had gone through a peer or editorial review could have such a high number of references to hallucinated articles. I can see how one or two may slip through the net, but this was a preposterous number.”

The best thing about animation is that you can create literally anything and have an artistic style as unique as a fingerprint. So why do 90% of all animated films just copy the Disney/Pixar aesthetic? So frustrating.

I have only just recently started digging into data centres and water, and the way companies are hiding vital information is beyond belief. It is so, so dodgy.

The entire project to widely popularise the idea these concerns are "fake" makes so much sense in this context
