I feel like this photo from a Christmas parade of our local congress critter is instructive of the town's whole vibe

the mayor said he would not be bullied and abused on Facebook and that EVERYONE wants Flock

the stated goal is to make sure the entrances and exits of every part of the town are covered.

had a bad time at a city council meeting last night. I live in a town of 12,000 people. They just voted to install 22 Flock cameras, bringing the total to 33. That's 1 Flock camera per 300 residents. It's more Flock cameras than police officers

You opened a credit card. ICE now knows where you live. Here's how when you open a credit card your address leaves your bank, goes through middlemen companies, and ends up with ICE. ICE plans to use this data for immigration and 'voter fraud'. No warrant More: www.404media.co/you-opened-a...

The response to this from the economy understander class reminds me of the old phrase, "hit dog will holler"

I am across two hyper local stories this week. The first is about ...... Olive Garden

just chiming in to say I also thought this was a handjob joke I wasn't quite following

New Orleans Police Department published a policy document allowing weaponized drones. This comes as the drone company's CEO went on @theverge.com's Decoder pod saying that the military could their weaponize drones if they wanted to. @mjgault.bsky.social story: www.404media.co/new-orleans-...

lots of people shouting at 300 but the real heads know it's

TOMORROW: 404 Media's @jasonkoebler.bsky.social and @josephcox.bsky.social are doing an AMA all about Flock on r/pwnhub. Get your questions in early at the link below 👇 ! Starts at 12 pm ET. www.reddit.com/r/pwnhub/com...

“We have seen how consequence-free it can be for officers to deploy force at somebody who’s standing in front…” Guariglia said. “That would become so much easier and so much less emotionally and physically burdensome if they can deploy force by pressing a button.” @404media.co @mjgault.bsky.social

New Orleans published a document saying its police could put weapons on their drones, deleted it, now says it was a mistake. But it aligns exactly with when the drone manufacturer began musing about allowing police to weaponize their drones:

we looooove this shit, still. I'd argue Reacher is a western stripped of the aesthetics of the genre

Red Dead Redemption 2 is one of the most popular video games of all time. Yellowstone was a smash hit that created four spin offs (there might be more, it's hard to keep track) and was a full on modern western

just read Lonesome Dove and casting about for things that grapple with it and Blood Meridian being published in the same year. came across this (which I generally liked) but it asserts that Westerns no longer dominate the American mind and I have quibbles

I'll be in NYC talking about data centers and spilling drinks on @emanuelmaiberg.bsky.social in September. Come join us for a live taping of the 404 Media podcast! Sept. 3 while tickets last
