i made a post like this before but I can't find it now. so. I'll just redo it.

What's the first "big news story" you remember from when you were a kid?

It's something I love to ask mixed-aged groups sometimes because I think it's really interesting to see the responses. I've gotten answers from the Olympics of [whatever year] to Watergate to more recent stuff from my niblings.

My first news thing I remember is the OJ Simpson trial. I vaguely remember watching the news with my grandparents before that, but that's the first story I remember, in part because my second grade teacher had us go play so she could watch the verdict 😂

Americans Are Cutting Down Flock Cameras. The Company Calls Them Terrorists.

This month people have been tearing Flock cameras off their poles.

This month people have been tearing Flock cameras off their poles. Perched above public streets, they are birdlike things, weatherproof, and they photograph every passing car and file it in a searchable national database. Somebody cut two of them in half at Washington Avenue and Westcott in Houston, spray-painted the wreckage, and left an American flag on one of them. Police were notified on the morning of the Fourth of July. Somebody severed a camera in Rutherfordton, North Carolina. The police department posted the photograph itself and collected more than twenty thousand comments. “Not all heroes wear capes.” “Give them a medal.” Here is what the cameras do when nobody cuts them down. Cops use them to hunt immigrants and to follow ICE targets across state lines and to find women who ended pregnancies in states where that is a crime and to watch exes and to watch women they want, without a warrant and without a judge. A cop types a reason in a box and the box does not check. A man in Burleson, Texas, told deputies his girlfriend had taken abortion pills. He showed them the photographs, the FedEx envelope, the instructions. Deputies opened a death investigation into a non-viable fetus, and the district attorney told them the state could not charge her, and they searched anyway: 83,345 cameras across 6,809 networks, a month of everywhere she had been. The reason they typed was had an abortion, search for female. The search reached Illinois and Washington, where what she did was legal. They found her in Dallas. She came into the sheriff’s office a week later, and they thought she had come to explain the fetus, and she had come to report that the man who called them had put a gun to her head. A sheriff in Jerome County, Idaho ran his wife’s plate more than seven hundred times in three months. He typed the same reason every time. Test. The attorney general found nothing to charge him with. He retired in April. The Institute for Justice counts at least twenty-two officers who used the system to track people they were romantically interested in, and calls that almost certainly an undercount. And the cameras keep falling.

Become ungovernable.

I invented a new trend called “drink sleepy tea and go to bed”

[moonlitmasque]

It's just a fad, it'll pass.

[pukicho]

Think again. China has been doing this trend I just invented for over 4,000 years.

literal children don't get lawyers for us immigration hearings anymore.

Thousands of immigrant children risk losing lawyers after Trump aid cuts

More than 20,000 unaccompanied children risk going to US immigration court alone after federal funding cuts

UN experts alarmed by child rights violations in USA immigration procedures

GENEVA – UN experts* today expressed concern at the impact of terminating federal funding for legal services for unaccompanied children in i

Please don't forget the children suffering right now. If you've got the ability, donate to the Safe Passage Project, an organization that provides children in nyc and long island going through the deportation process with free immigration lawyers. and they win 90% of their cases!!

People have such a big problem with the concept of abusers loving the people they abuse

Both the depictions of

"This character is an abuser and therefore is incapable of real love toward the person they abuse" (I acknowledge they are abusive, and that makes them a monster)

and

"This character loves that other character so they can't possibly be abusing them" (I acknowledge they aren't a monster, and therefore they aren't abusive)

Are collectively the most harmful ideas to spread about abuse

Because the core concept (abusers can't love you or be good to you genuinely) is so connected to getting trapped an abusive cycle. They love them, they aren't always bad. It's a very defensive feeling. "I love them and they love me and you have to admit I'm a difficult person sometimes, so it's not what you think it is. They aren't like that. Not really."

I love that Jules Verne asked the question "What kind of person could circumnavigate the world in 80 days?" and decided that the answer was not a groundbreaking explorer or genius inventor, but a guy who's really, really, really obsessed with train and boat schedules.

[oqmemphis]

my final paper for my CS degree was literally "how can we algorithmically optimise for the fastest possible circumnavigation route on commercial flights?", which incidentally required me to adopt a very good working knowledge of what flight options are available at what times (and also led to me accidentally memorising several hundred airport codes)

[oqmemphis]

incidentally the fastest possible route seems to be about 51 hours, if you're working from 2022 schedules like i was. if you use current schedules and are very optimistic about how quickly you can transfer between flights, you can maybe get it down to around 48 hours (also known as 25 millivernes).
