> Nikolas Peterson, executive director of Hanford Challenge, a watchdog organization based in Seattle, disagrees. He said this restructuring guts transparency and oversight.
> “What remains is a DOE‑controlled forum with no sovereign tribal representation, no state regulators, no labor voices and no independent organizations,” he said. “DOE didn’t modernize the Hanford Advisory Board; they wiped out the voices that hold them accountable. They got rid of anyone and everyone who ever pushes back, who asks hard questions, who doesn’t just say ‘Yes, sir’ to DOE.”
This admins only goal is to cause destruction with the irrational tact of an angry toddler.... so this checks out.

The creation of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in 2002 was the largest reorganization of the U.S. federal government since World War II. At the same time, immense power was given to the executive branch and the DHS director to have full authority over these domestic civil sectors.
The propensity to instill a further fascist state was always there. FEMA is apart of that consolidation and will be used for whatever means of a state without regulation.
TLDR the state is wielding a well greased tool.

I was told by told by a friend I was with the women's restroom didn't have that sign so the latter sounded accurate lol. It wouldn't surprise me at this point. I thought it was a prank at first.

I hear this is a sign featured exclusively in the men’s restroom at pdx airport. Who’s doing this? Actually… I don’t want to know.

Now that the CEO of Flock has called deflock.me a terrorist organization, I'd hate for other people to know about these other flock watchdog groups.
Please don't go on these websites, I beg you.
https://Alpr.wtf - Every U.S. jurisdiction using ALPR, plus how to file info requests.
https://EyesOnFlock.com - Crowdsourced map of Flock cameras and city contracts.
https://Deflock.me - Nationwide ALPR map tracking Flock deployments, removals, and resistance.
https://HaveIBeenFlocked.com — Quick check to see if Flock is watching your neighborhood.
https://DontGetFlocked.com — Plots your route, counts ALPR/Flock cameras, and suggests surveillance-free alternatives.

I thought at first the meta pervert glasses were a continuous connection, only to realize now that you need the meta AI app in order to export.
You need the ...Meta AI app... in order... to export...okayyy lol. Damn the user privacy really is zero; not to mention every other person's privacy in their sweep.
This is just an attempt to lock-in another market - now that their VR world is dead, and facebook/instagram is slowly dying, they're refocusing to another market that's dependent on wanna-be influencers and gross manosphere idiots.
I really was hoping meta would die off eventually but people keep taking the bait. Between flock cameras, waymo cameras, ring cameras, tesla cameras, meta glasses cameras., etc etc etc...we are really becoming quite a multi-perspective surveillance state.

If anyone is kind of in between utilizing Plex and Jellyfin for music and wants to scrobble to listenbrainz and/or last.fm for music discovery easily - Multi -Scrobbler is pretty fantastic and sits at about 40mb -120mb memory consumption.

Here's my anonymized docker compose file if anyone wants to reference it.

Just made the switch fully from Plex to Jellyfin for music, using Finer (macos and ios) for music playback, but also just found out about open source @npub1erz…z7ey for music discovery and music recommendations. Who needs spotify.

Now if I could just get my hands on an vintage ipod classic that's not inflated to $200....

Watch out for attack crows this time of year, as they're protecting their babies that are learning to fly still from the ground after jumping out of the nest.
In addition, like the article states, don't even look at them in the eyes - they're that intelligent and will recognize you as a threat.
