I love my 13-ish(?) year old citizen eco-drive solar analog watch.

Uvalde was an absolute shit-show, and it's a travesty of justice that those larping bastards didn't face any criminal consequences for their negligent inaction. The anguish they wreaked by their cowardice on the children and families of that community should be revisited one-hundred-fold every second of their miserable lives.

That said...

The School Resource Officer programs are a different animal. A good, effective SRO is a community member of the school. He or she is there to partner with kids, teachers, administrators, and parents. They are there to prevent, de-escalate, and deter. The ones that are good at building rapport with the kids are effective at identifying kids in danger, in trouble, or on a pathway to violence.

And in the good school systems, the SROs are integral parts of the Behavioral Threat Assessment Teams, making sure that any indicators of violent intent is taken seriously and assessed by a multidisciplinary team following a clinically validated process.

In a lot of instances, SROs are old-timers awaiting retirement, rookies that think every kid is part of a crime syndicate, a road cop that got stuck on a rotation that couldn't give a shit, or something else besides a decent human being. But in many cases, even some of the shitty ones have intervened and stopped active assailants. And that's a sad reality.

Your flock post reminder that they aren't just license plate readers. They capture Bluetooth and wifi MACs, NFC IDs, and cellphone IMEIs, scan for wifi ssids (exactly like a WiFi Pineapple, to further fingerprint a device) from every device within range. They also do facial recognition of everyone within view of the lens. All that information is sent to flock for sale to any government agency,

I will die on the hill that Bluetooth always has and always will suck ass. Pairing sucks. Latency sucks. Random-ass disconnects suck. Fuck Bluetooth in the neck sideways with a rusty screwdriver.

Step 4: get blown ta fuck by a fpv drone

That's the most depressing thing I've seen all day, and I've been doomscrolling since I woke up.

HEY MEDIA!

Stop. Giving. These. Fuckwits. Attention!

The absolute worst, most annoying thing about every Apple advert and the day-long adverts - the launch day events, is the freaking hyperbole.

(breathlessly exclaim:) The fastest ever. The thinnest ever. More cameras than ever! The most ever ever!

Breathtaking vividly bright Applewordsalad display technology

My coworker is fully bought in to the ecosystem, so I get the full experience every launch day. Listen critically sometime. Turn on your bullshit filter. It's a fun game.

Man, that's gotta be hell on any wildlife left living in the areas in which it's used. (I mean, I get the necessity, but dang)

Tillers too when this war ends (with Russia's defeat) and it's time to plant crops.

And that's not being snide - they actually had that on the giant scroller at the rnc convention!

Isn't his state the same one that removed worker's protections from heat, like mandatory water and cooling breaks for outdoor workers? Or was that Texas? Fuck both him and Abbot in the temple with a crowbar, either way... Fucking ghouls.

Donald Trump is Putin's bitch

I want to make t-shirts, billboards, bumper stickers with that slogan... Put them everywhere - putin holding trump's leash who is lifting a leg and pissing on the US.

I wonder if that would get under his thin, spray painted skin like the 'President Musk' stuff did.

Yeah, those damn liberals and their... Summer school lunch programs... And not wanting kids to get cut to ribbons in the Rio Grande... And wanting to assure access to healthcare, no matter who you are or your gender expression, or if you want safe access to an abortion... And want to end systemic racism...

Yeah, you're right - both sides are the same. /S

My dad, after a discussion in my young adult years turned political: "if you're not a liberal when you're young, you don't have a heart. If you're not conservative when you're an adult, you don't have a brain."

Well, dad, I have made it to adulthood with brilliant children and great relationships with them to boot. I'm still a screaming liberal and you're still a racist that is gargling the balls of a wannabe dictator.

Oh, eat a Hello Kitty lunchbox full of dicks. There's plenty of reasons to hate on TikTok (and Facebook, insta, YouTube, ad-infinitum/ad-nauseum). They're a damn cancer on society.

He tackled a man.

Because of his purported ethnicity.

That's insane.

An old trick you could do on old physical fax machines was to tape a couple of sheets of black construction paper together, feed them into the machine and tape them into a loop. Dial your special person and burn through all their toner. Of course, now it would just generate a bunch of emails.

"Moms" for liberty was founded in part by a dude in New Jersey that was up on charges for sexual assault, and another founder in Florida, a couple, the husband of which was credibly charged (and I believe pled out) to criminal sexual conduct...

That organization? The same one that the Southern Poverty Law Center has designated as a hate group? Let me see how many fucks I can find to give about what they have to say...

"Make Shooting Nazis in the Face Normal Again"
