the humble sci hub:
Something that I said to myself earlier today that may be useful to you: you're living through unprecedented times, so your neuroses may only make sense in retrospect. It's clear that they're happening in conjunction with this historical moment. They don't have to make sense now. They might only make sense when we've gotten an idea of what this period in history actually was.

β€œIf a cop is caught in a lie on the stand, it’s much easier for them to say the AI made that up as opposed to them saying you caught me lying in the report,” EFF’s Matthew Guariglia told @sfstandard. https://sfstandard.com/2025/06/10/sfpd-using-ai-police-reports/
San Francisco cops are using AI to write police reports

San Francisco police have been quietly using artificial intelligence to write reports for weeks, but critics worry that the technology could lead to abuses of power.

I think people should protest, but you may want to be careful what is on your phone. As you may recall, I work for Meta. We're currently spying on people.

We are helping the government to identify people who were in the protest. We are currently helping identify people who want to protest. We are currently helping government agents know where and when protest may happen.

If you have any Facebook apps - Facebook Messenger, Facebook, WhatsApp, Threads, Instagram -- Uninstall the app.

A PSA for confused Americans ...

If you are doing extrajudicial violence and it feels bad when protestors record you, you are not being attacked.

That bad feeling is called "guilt" and comes from a part of the mind called a "conscience."

Neat fact, that's also why you masked up to hide your identity. Isn't learning fun?

It's important to listen to "conscience" and do kind things instead.

If you keep ignoring it, you'll wind up doing horrific things you can't take back.

The choice is yours.

The problem isn't that trans people have never questioned our identities. The problem is that cis people won't accept the answer we give them.
