New from 404 Media: “DeFlock” is a project to map the location of Flock systems and other automatic license plate reading cameras all over the world. “I started seeing them all over the place and realized that they were for the police. And I didn’t like that.”
@aredridel yeah, it's showing up that way in Arc (Chromium) too so I think it's a Buttondown thing
@aredridel huh. I don't think I did that insofar as I just use a markdown editor to publish? Hm
https://buttondown.com/perfectsentences/archive/perfect-sentences-98/ this week in sentences: a lifetime of aphorisms, object of huckstering, possum-y heart, love is an acid, terrible and wonderful, the ultimate unity
unfortunately the upcoming RIP Corp on The Wing and resistance grift is much more timely than I thought it would be
Coping by watching Bottoms
One reason Ramsey gave for why I should come with this time was to meet his parents dogs and honestly if I'm murdered by an Israeli airstrike because I went to meet some dogs that feels very on brand
After the 2016 election Ramsey and I took a trip to see his parents in Beirut because we were worried about not being able to go in the next administration
The circumstances are uh very different now but today we started talking about maybe doing that again
What a time to be alive etc
Update: recommendations are electrolytes, moisturizer, and cold compress over the eyes
Realizing I am going to maybe cry every day for the rest of my life and not sure what the optimal skincare routine is for that

My heart is a shambles today
We went for a walk tonight with some neighborhood friends whose dog Oakley was buddies with Kitty and Oakley was so happy to see us, it was very sweet
I'm probably going to miss Kitty forever but it is very special how many wonderful people and dogs are part of my life because of her
I'm supposed to read excerpts from Capital Vol III today, haha

Spent some time on r/GenZ last night reading all these missives from young men about why they voted for Trump, and the gender gap is extremely real and more concerning than even I had grasped. Even if you think these young men are entitled brats, the rest of us are living with the consequences of their politics, and this seems like something that the left needs to pay very close attention to. The older liberal hopes that the young will save us on many issues seems hopelessly naive to me.
@inquiline oh man, that's such a bizarre situation to be in.

one thing they didn’t teach us in school: in the days of the fugitive slave laws (1840s etc) crowds in places like Philly and Boston would sometimes protect escaped slaves from slave catchers. People would throw rocks and fruit at the slave catchers. Judges and clerks might stall and slow down their work. Many white people just complied with the laws, but some didn’t. Escaped slaves were often armed and so were their allies.
sent an email to my 10th grade social studies teacher today thanking him for making us watch Manufacturing Consent and read Arendt and unfortunately preparing me to understand the last few decades, because I thought it might be a nice thing to tell him on a shitty day
(I did not tell him that I was thinking of pivoting to becoming a high school social studies teacher)
