Someone called Flock Cameras "ChatGPT on a pole" and I can not unhear it
How much AI slop can a cop shop mop with a town chocked full of flock?

The chickenized reverse centaur is a new circle of labor hell, a genuinely innovative way of making workers' lives worse in order to extract more billions for one of the most profitable companies in history.

The resulting story has more twists and turns than an invasive Burmese python, that apex predator of the gate-guarded McMansion development. It's screamingly funny, devilishly inventive, and deeply, profoundly satisfying. With *Fever Beach*, Hiaasen makes a compelling case for Florida as the perfect microcosm of the terrifying state of America, and an even more compelling case for his position as its supreme storyteller.
17/
You do not need to have read any of Hiaasen's other novels to love this one. But I'm pretty sure that if you start with this one, you're going to want to dig into the dozens of other Hiaasen books, and you will not be disappointed if you do.

I'm really interested in plugging in with folks who want to organize more creative resistance.
There are so many ideas I have about how these large mobilizations could break out of the predictable script of rally on Saturday at the Capitol, march down 16th street mall to tepid chants of "this is what democracy looks like."
If others in the #Denver area are thinking similarly, let's talk.

Young woman with dark hair bulled back is smiling holding a sign that reads, "Donald Trump is a RA_ist!" beneath that is a stick figure with a confused look. In one hand is a red C and in the other is a red P. Both leftters have smaller question marks around them.
Two women with hand held signs dressed in black. Sign says "Trump is a RA_ist!" Then a stick figure with a confused look has a C in one hand and a P in the other.
I also appreciated how this rally tied into ongoing organizing.
There were a lot more orgs tabling at the rally than the last big event.
This panel on the genocide and occupation of Palestine was powerful.
