New: Police in Wisconsin used Flock to create a pretext to search a man's car for weed. Their justification? He drove from Wisconsin to Michigan, a “known source state for marijuana as it is legal there,” and Flock showed he "travels to Michigan frequently." www.404media.co/cops-used-fl...

As part of my work on sound heritage, I'm running a short survey on sounds (not music) that are important personally/culturally to people from different parts of the world. Please do help if you can 🙏 (versions in other languages will be added soon) tinyurl.com/5579y76e
the nyt and the atlantic are cited all over the heritage foundation bills. rowling is nearly single-handedly funding gc legal challenges in the uk. this isn’t “i got my feelings hurt” it’s “it’s legal to discriminate against me in very important ways”
just said this on another post but it bears repeating: the thing about continuing to give money to any jk rowling properties or the nyt is not that they’re shitty about trans people, which they are. it is that both of these entities MATERIALLY CONTRIBUTE to the legal challenges to trans rights
Please DO NOT VISIT the website for the time being. We are trying to figure out the root cause of this and resolve it at present.

"All this trans stuff is annoying I wish we could just focus on basketball" yeah imagine how fucking annoying it is for trans people
My Odyssey hot take: I enjoyed it. Realistically it's a 21st century moral tale using the guise of an ancient epic. Based on that, it will never favorably compare to the original. It does make one wonder why call it the Odyssey at all. If they weren't racist the incels would love it.
I have always said that I am a moderate on trans participation in sports, meaning that inclusion should be balanced with fairness. As science suggests trans women can be included in women's sports fairly, I therefore favor inclusion, like any sensible moderate would.

pointing out the hypocrisy of people who are lying about what they actually want will never get you anywhere. smugly owning them for the gaps in their logic. it's an exterminationist project, not a rhetorical one
it's not an own to point out that all these fucking guys trying to deny trans people their hormones are so into HGH and whatnot. they don't care either way about 'gender affirming care.' they want to be he-men and they want trans people to die. to them the two projects are perfectly coherent
1) it's not gender-affirming care when it's being foisted upon ppl w/o their consent. this policy is *invasive* 2) anti-trans GAC legislation is *also invasive* as it's designed to take away control of our own bodies. LET'S CALL IT INVASIVE! LET'S PROMOTE BODILY AUTONOMY RATHER THAN MAKING GAC JOKES
Tammy Duckworth@duckworth.senate.gov · 4w agoSounds like gender-affirming care to me.

Not crippling soreness, nor 90 degree heat, nor a 30 minute layover can keep me from my beloved Denver aircraft viewing area.
I made this audio stinger recently for a Youtube account. I can also make notifications sounds based off of a stinger so you can establish a consistent sonic brand! $50 CAD for the stinger $10 CAD/notification/reaction sfx
Amy Klobuchar’s eulogy for Lindsey Graham was 390 words long. This was 390 more words than she has said in support of trans people
A lot of people will tell you you're good to go if you just use a compressor to level everything BUT If you do a bit of manual gain increases first when there are large leaps in signal level, you'll get the most transparent results after compression
