The GitS video is dead. Before setting it public, I’d gone through 5 revisions to edit out previous copyright claims. It never got blocked though, and now it is. So this is it, my friends. Fair use doesn’t exist. Never forget.

License Plate Cameras Will Soon Track Phones, Wearables, Infotainment, and Even Your Pets
A new kind of license-plate-reading camera will also scrape the smart devices you take with you, and wrap all that data in a nice little bow for law enforcement and the government.

“The new James Bond game doesn’t have enough kissing hot girls and his boss is DEI,” I say to my microwave as a frozen dinner turns in slow circles, each rotation another sliver taken away from my soul
Watching Stand Alone Complex and I think my favorite lyric in the end song is “She’s Incredible Math”, that such an incredible compliment.
