Police in Wisconsin used Flock to track a man who traveled to Michigan, where marijuana is legal, then back to Wisc., where it is illegal They then used his travel as part of the probable cause justification to search his car for weed and he eventually was arrested

Cops Used Flock to Track a Man Across State Lines to Create Pretext to Search His Car for Weed

"The vehicle travels to Michigan frequently which is a known source state for marijuana as it is legal there," a probable cause justification reads.

I encourage all of us to have the grace and focus shown in this going up within minutes of the race being called.

You're absolutely right – this actually *isn't* a place of honor. * I thought esteemed deeds were commemorated here, but that was wrong. * The message wasn't about treasure, it was about danger. That's on me. * I won't sugarcoat it – the danger is still present, and now it's in your body.

James Bond producer shares update on 007 casting: ‘It’s got to be really different’

ANTHROPIC: Our son loves humanity and for the low price of trillions and trillions of dollars will usher in an era of unprecedented peace and prosperity! OPENAI: Our horrible oafish son is hacking web sites without our permission. ANTHROPIC: (eyes narrowing) Our son is also evil

Food, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.

honestly, the fact that we have made it through the atomic age *without* another use of nuclear weapons since 1945 is a miracle we don't fully appreciate

Today is the day the story There Will Come Soft Rain is set. An amazing and heartbreaking work of fiction for our modern age. Read it here:

airbnb I’m staying at unintentionally created the toughest punk album cover of 2027

men will see this post and ask "which one is the sexiest?" and we will answer: "Yes"

Brendel@brendelbored.bsky.social · 2d ago

Guys will listen to male influencer bullshit about needing to have a six pack and manipulate everyone and meanwhile women will go “you know who is the sexiest fucking guy I’ve ever seen?” and post this

The biggest technological revolution of our lifetime and it has nothing to do with AI, crypto, metaverse, robots or any of the other massively hyped "tech" the media always talks about instead

Absolutely unbelievable how solar power has taken off worldwide during the Hormuz oil crisis. You don't have to hand it to him, but Trump may have done more to finally kick off a global civilization of effete librul solar users than anyone else in the West

public libraries ftw

The twenty-first century has provided me with a robot that can sweep my floor in three times the amount of time it would take for me to do it myself, and then spends 10 minutes trying to return to its docking station before I place it there

I'm not going to QT but there's a silicon valley NIMBY complaining about maintaining the historical character of Palo Alto and man that place should look like fucking singapore. Market cap of tech companies based in and around there is like $14 trillion and it's full of fucking bungalows? So broken

evergreen

Max Kennerly@maxkennerly.bsky.social · 2d ago

The richest person in the world, an avowed white supremacist, today again posted "the next step is getting rid of 'source code' entirely and just making an efficient binary directly with AI" because he has no idea how anything works, not even the basics of industries he is in.

"I only believe the moon landing happened because Elon Musk said it did" is a fucking rococo cathedral of dumbassery

That said, let us take a moment to thank our Bluesky Trans and Furry Elders for freaking out Jack Dorsey so much he bolted and left us this nice social media playground, taking most of his crypto chuds with him. We thank you for your service.

this is not true. there was no conspiracy. it didn't matter whether the streetcars were publicly owned (seattle, detroit) or private (los angeles, atlanta). a thread (because i wrote a whole-ass book on this): 1/?

David Ho@davidho.bsky.social · 3d ago

Is everyone aware of the General Motors streetcar conspiracy? In the mid-20th century, auto and oil interests bought up electric streetcar systems across the US and systematically replaced them with bus routes and paved roads, funneling commuters toward private cars.

This is one of those weird facts that has just always been fucking baked into my fucking brain

It’s certainly wasn’t the first with per pixel lighting, but I know Shrek for the OG Xbox was the first commercial title for a console that used a Deferred Renderer! sites.google.com/site/richgel...

I didn’t even know we had a Wildberries warehouse

I have felt icky about these review score fantasy leagues. Boiling down games to a number wasn't great *BEFORE*, but in the current environment, it not only removes the craft, but it has the potential to do real harm.

Rebekah Valentine@duckvalentine.bsky.social · 3d ago

do not do this

And while I am normally open to the "don't let the worst people in the conversation define the terms" idea, in this case that horse is on a boat going across the ocean and the barn door fell off the hinges a half dozen years ago. It's too late. Much too late.

Amadi Lovelace@amaditalks.bsky.social · 3d ago

Aside from the obvious inaccuracy, the reason why we need to reject the notion of "lockdowns" in the US it's because that word is used intentionally to make people feel like the public health measures that saved millions of lives were a punishment and a harm that stole freedom from them.

QRP with your mosy popular piece on Bluesky Its Zoot Suit Samus and its not even close lol

QRP with your most popular piece on Bluesky that's right the 5 minute shitpost is the most popular post by a country mile!

I had my car broken into and laptop stolen in front of a police station in San Francisco and when I walked in to report the crime the officer on duty asked what I wanted him to do about it

Em, midly@lefttheprairie.bsky.social · 4d ago

It’s so funny when people are like “sure you’re an abolitionist now but wait until you’re the victim of a property crime.” Buddy, the most useful thing the police have ever done for property crime is put the form you need to submit to your insurance online.

I stand by my assumption that every man who is scared of cancel culture has something to hide. Or many things.

A genuinely poetic description of what happens when you don't build the fucking housing. Your city gets hollowed out until it more resembles a sepulchral ruin in unusually good condition than an actual home.

Bob Johnston@bobjohnstonbooks.bsky.social · 4d ago

"A city doesn't get hollowed out by too many visitors. It hollows out when too little of the city remains underneath them, when the thing they queued to see has been quietly sold off around them while they queued." Great piece on #Dublin by Conor McGuire in Western People.

it's natural to be concerned because this seems like a step backwards to people but the key thing to understand is while tanks made sense until around the year 2000 they're less prevalent because lobsters had to keep up and adapt for the changing battlefield most of them today are trained for drones

cedar longpenis@guypussy.bsky.social · 4d ago

(waking up from a cold sweat) the grocery stores used to have lobster tanks

This goes hard

oh don't worry from what I hear publishers are absolutely out there right now demanding "the next balatro" in the form of gambling adjacent roguelikes with zero budget and expecting tens of millions of dollars in revenue
