Attached: 1 image The #UAW are on #strike against the #BigThree #automakers. #Biden should be roaring his full-throated support for the strike. Doing so would be both just and shrewd. But instead, the #WhiteHouse is waffling...and if recent history is any indication, they might actually come out against the strike. -- If you'd like an essay-formatted version of this thread to read or share, here's a link to it on pluralistic.net, my surveillance-free, ad-free, tracker-free blog: https://pluralistic.net/2023/09/18/co-determination/#now-make-me-do-it 1/

@Chrishallbeck if it's from the mid-1980s, there's a good chance it might be about "sleeping with" a 14 year old

Stunned that this isn't getting more attention in the local press, but I guess we do have a lot going down in the ATL at the moment

EDIT: This is getting bigbig for what I usually see on here, so I'm adding a thread below of ATL media to throw your support behind.

I'm re-reading Defoe's A Journal of the Plague Year. I'd forgotten there's a section on how, during such crises, people become prone to irrational beliefs and charlatans promoting, for want of a better expression, 'conspiracy theories' and anti-scientific ideas, and how these obsessional beliefs engender paranoia and the threat of group violence against 'non believers'. Maybe it's just something that (some) humans do in such times...

This story from the new publication #404media about Customs & Border Protection using AI-powered social media surveillance reminded me of Cory Doctorow's @pluralistic 2007 short story "Scroogled" which features "Immigration Powered By Google." https://www.404media.co/ai-surveillance-tool-dhs-cbp-sentiment-emotion-fivecast/
The A.I. Surveillance Tool DHS Uses to Detect ‘Sentiment and Emotion’

Internal DHS and corporate documents detail the agency’s relationship with Fivecast, a company that promises to scan for “risk terms and phrases” online.
