Christopher Columbus was a horrible person, but the other person depicted in this cartoon was not.

Just when you thought Flock's business model couldn't grow more fascist, along comes the #FlockDrone

Flock Safety is arming US police departments with drones that launch themselves, hit 60 mph, chase fleeing cars and read plates before a patrol car even rolls. Sounds slick until you hear this: In Roseville, Calif., police found 71% of Flock’s stolen-car alerts had a misread plate. Picture that mistake at 400 feet, locked onto a car, your kid’s car or a neighbour who did nothing wrong. I want a human near that launch button. Did the drone tail the right vehicle?

@bojacobs Just found out there is a pro-nuclear fediverse instance that oxymoronically calls itself greennuclear.online which means they have to be intentionally ignorant of the toxic and extremely racist history of uranium mining and waste disposal.

But as long as they feel good about themselves, #AmIRight ?

Instead of "Meta AI glasses" the text changes to "Meta: We're always watching." From the group "Everybody Hates Elon"
