Navy Veteran (OTA2) Boston, MA-ish. I do not suffer fools. Opinions mine, and I’m happy to share them, sometimes (ok, more than sometimes) whether you want them or not. Older than dirt. She/Her.
Interesting when a Muslim involved in violence the corporate media tells us attacker wanted “to kill for his religion.” But never see same framing when a person attacks an abortion clinic in name of their religion. Hmmm….
@naunihal I think it’s that they’re on other “instances?” I’m technologically challenged, so I’m likely wrong, but that’s what I came up with when it happened to me.
The bit about a lawyer being stopped from entering a music hall in the US because its facial recognition system picked up that she's part of a law company that's suing them is even crazier than I thought.

The law company isn't suing the music hall - it's suing a restaurant, in another state, which is owned by the hall's parent company MSG Entertainment. MSG gone ahead and harvested photos of all the lawyers in the firm and fed it to an image recognition system to ban them from every MSG Entertainment owned location.

People always tell me that if you've got nothing to hide then you've got nothing to fear. She's got nothing to hide and they still went after her.

If this doesn't start making people worried about facial recognition then there's serious trouble coming.

I think the #JeremyClarkson piece about #MeghanMarkle is so hard to get over because it feels personal. It triggers. It brings back painful memories of horrid words many have experienced or witnessed. It hurts again. Printing this in a newspaper held a mirror to society.

One defense of Trump has been that he simply set the conditions for Jan. 6, which then got out of hand.
The House committee, though, made a strong case for Trump’s knowing culpability for the violence itself.

The case for Trump’s direct culpability for Jan. 6 violence

It's long been clear that Trump bears primary blame for the day's crowd and its anger. The Jan. 6 select committee report draws a more direct line.

@[email protected] Some people only see Nazis are the personification of villainy, like through the lens of Indiana Jones. They have separated Nazis from their actions and beliefs, because it’s inconvenient to reconcile that these objective villains share their beliefs and convictions.
