Today's news and jokes







SCOOP: Flock left at least 60 of its AI-powered, people-tracking surveillance cameras exposed and livestreaming to the open internet. We tracked ourselves. The exposure highlights the power of these cameras and types of things they're tracking. Not just cars. www.404media.co/flock-expose...

These cameras were not just watching cars or even license plates. They were zooming in on people's faces on the sidewalk, tracking people in parks, watching what they were looking at on their phone screens: www.404media.co/flock-expose...

Multiple social media users noticed on Monday that the 60 Minutes episode was available via the Global TV app. To view the episode, viewers need to connect to the app from a Canadian IP address. People then uploaded copies of the episode to a variety of file sharing sites and services.

it must have felt so good to be the digital media manager when the word came down to unschedule the piece from the 60 minutes feed but no one said anything about unscheduling it from the international website

One of the more important stock-taking moments to watch a bootlegged news program censored in your country.

i’ll just say that this isn’t the behavior of people who think their allies are on the verge of establishing a thousand year reich, much less holding control of the national legislature next year

@apnews

Dread, tears as Tyson plans to lay off 3,200 workers in small Nebraska town. A pall is hanging over the holiday season in Lexington, Nebraska, where the Tyson beef plant, by far the largest employer in small town, is set to lay off 3,200 people when the company closes the facility on Jan. 20, after three decades of operation. #tyson #meat #meatpacking #nebraska

(“Losing 3,000 jobs in a city of 10,000 to 12,000 people is as big a closing event as we’ve seen virtually for decades”)







as a sort of corollary to this observation, Dem fundraising going to bend inexorably towards small donors as Anglosphere rich people go more and more insane

This is that good shit. Straight to my veins. BE LOUD ABOUT HOW YOU HELP PEOPLE. Signal the fuck out of your virtue. Peer pressure people into kindness. Make it cool and badass to help strangers not for clout but because it feels good for everyone to partake in their society. It rocks! Do it!

Not thrilled to find that “Grokipedia” has added a ton of articles since launch… including one on me that ironically goes way deeper on trans liberation topics but also hallucinates details of games, my year of birth, and includes an explanation of why my parents got divorced?!? Gee thanks, LLM

@itvnews Keir Starmer has ordered Roman Abramovich to transfer the £2.5 billion proceeds from the sale of Chelsea FC to Ukraine or face legal action. The Prime Minister said the “clock is ticking” for the former football club owner to pay up, announcing ministers have issued a licence allowing the proceeds from the sale of Chelsea to be transferred to a new foundation for humanitarian causes in Ukraine. #itvnews #news #chelseafc ♬ original sound - ITV News

The New York Jets made NFL history on Sunday, setting the record for most consecutive games without intercepting a pass (15). If they go two more weeks without one, they will set an unbreakable record: an entire season without a single interception 😳

Raijin in FF8 considers himself an honourable ladies' man, & so every time you fight him if there's only women alive in the party, he won't attack & will just stand & take a beating. UNLESS he's been blinded by a spell... & then, because he can't see who he's hitting, he'll attack the girls.
