Former NFL players decry White House video mixing big hits, airstrikes The Trump administration released a video on X using footage of Ray Lewis, Chad Ochocinco and other former NFL players juxtaposed with war footage.

“For that play to be associated with bombing human beings makes me sick,” Bell told The Washington Post. “I don’t want anything to do with images like that.”

Morning.

I’m kinda going through all the stages of grief right now as the crushing realization hits that trans people might not have it as good as we did in the 2010s (and we didn’t have it that good then either) for the rest of my lifetime.

If you haven't, we would recommend reviewing the recent updates Flock made to its terms of service.

focusing on the supposed "criminality" of the Trump admin instead of on the material harm it is doing reveals a deep misunderstanding of how law works in the United States and who it is actually for

AI cameras are everywhere — and people are paying the price for their mistakes Flock Safety's license plate readers are used by police in thousands of communities. When the cameras make mistakes, the consequences can be severe.

“In a dozen instances, misreads by Flock's automated license plate readers, or a lack of verification by officers, resulted in people who hadn't committed crimes being stopped at gunpoint, sent to jail, or mauled by a police dog, among other outcomes.”

has bombing a populace from the outside ever spurred that populace to rise up against their own government or is that just a thing we pretend happens even though it never does

a smarter humanity would roll daylight savings into the leap year, and have six nights a year extended by one hour. and an even smarter humanity would not have a twenty-eight day month when there are already some with thirty-one days. and an even smarter one still would order the latin names right.
