Instead of posting a screenshot and a link, they posted a broken Instagram embed instead. Come on.

FreeBSD went from 0.01% to 0% last month. 🪦

Maybe if you pulled yourselves up by your bootstraps, we could all live off our investment portfolios and the margaritas would just serve themselves.

I did a quick dig because I wanted to see if the rise in police homicide would trend with population growth and violent crime rates. It did not.

Violent crime has been pretty stable for the past decade. Growth in police homicide exceeded the population growth rate by about 7%, if I did my math right.

I'd like to investigate more when I have the time.

U.S.. Not an actual tracking device, just a cell phone. I usually leave it at home, which would have been impossible to do at many of those buildings.

I'm most interested in their video that covers the use of social media to advance policy.

What about them?

Google already got fined $170M for COPPA violations in 2019. Twitter was fined $150M in 2022 for disregard of privacy laws. Meta settled for $1.4B in a privacy suit just last week. TikTok isn't being singled out here.

The company's name is Specialty Towing and appears to be the same one that went viral on social media after attempting to lift a car stopped at an intersection with the driver still inside. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqvDedeuCl0

The idea behind the typical Amish perspective on technology is to preserve community. Exceptions are sometimes made as necessary or reasonable, washing machines being one of the most popular exceptions. It seems to be working well for them.

It's like every other pineapple, but ✨Limited Edition✨ and 2.5 times more expensive.

They've got to be joking.

I decided to find and share an article that included perspectives from Navajo Nation after finding one (Police1) that curiously exempted their reasoning while presenting PR and excuses from the mining company.

You'll know it's their bot because the account is suspended and the profile page can't be viewed. They deliberately get the account shadowbanned and manually approve the posts from the moderator queue so users can't scrutinize the account's post history. I suspect they're buying upvotes because the posts frequently make it to the front page despite top comments being critical of the message.

I'm saddened by the deforestation I've seen in my hometown. A lot of kids would go to hang out and play in the forests, but it looks like only the designated protected areas some distance off will be left in the future. Having wildlife in one's back yard will be reduced to a novelty.
