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...

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

It’s so weird to talk about it this way when everyone did their jobs without those things 3 years ago. And frankly did a much better job without them.

I HAVE BEEN SUBSIDIZING WALMART AND AMAZON STARVING THEIR EMPLOYEES FOR MY ENTIRE LIFE.

USA TODAY Opinion@usatodayopinion.usatoday.com · 2d ago

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

Why did we stop calling these people weird and gross? Seems like a home-run way to defeat something like this is just to call out that these anti-trans perverts want to force state-sponsored sexual assault on little girls who just want to play with their friends.

An initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play

We can’t have a guy who defends private equity named “Max Doubler.” This isn’t the Adam West Batman series. We gotta hit reset here.

Namibia is not all desert, it's coast line has huge flamingo, pelican & seal populations. So many flamingos, it's difficult to isolate them, but the morning's fog helped, & created a magical mood! #photography #nature #naturephotography #bluesky #birds #birdtherapy #wildlife #wildlifephotography

There was a good 25-year stretch where i’d pick up as many 60s-70s African comps on CD as I could Some favorite V/A comps: Afro-Rock, vol. 1 (2001) *unfortunately, vol. 2 was never released strut.bandcamp.com/album/afro-r...

At a time when we’ve heard “Chicago is a war zone” and “Portland is in flames,” this is nothing but a deliberate push to manufacture evidence to feed racist fires

New from 404 Media: Google Earth has introduced an AI feature that lets anyone fabricate completely bullshit satellite images. In our own tests, we added a “bomb blast and crater” to an area of Los Angeles. This is a misinformation time bomb, will 100% be abused www.404media.co/google-earth...

Columbo: My wife, she loves Wilco. Only listens to the early songs, though. Back when Jay Farrar was in the band, you understand. Me, failing to act nonchalant: The post-YHF albums are also quite good, lieutenant.

This is wild. 93% of the renewable electricity generation added to the Irish grid over that last decade now powers data centers, rather than reducing fossil fuel use. Data centers have pretty much annihilated the health and climate benefits those renewables could have provided.

Hannah Daly@hannahdaly.ie · 4w ago

What is even more striking is that data centre demand has matched 93% of the growth in renewable electricity generation (wind + solar + hydro) over the past decade. If we measure since 2020, data centre demand has grown nearly 3-times faster than renewable electricity growth.

You will die. You will not live forever. Nor will any man nor any thing. Nothing is immortal. But only to us is it given to know that we must die. And that is a great gift: the gift of selfhood. For we have only what we know we must lose, what we are willing to lose.

Yep. Chicago is doing forced bag checks to access the lakefront and lakefront trail in any place where black youth might be. I hope someone sues.
