TSA Working on Haptic Tech To 'Feel' Your Body in Virtual Reality

The tech would "detect the contour of a target (a person and/or an object) at a distance, optionally penetrating through clothing" and transmit it to a haptic feedback glove.

Ok my Leader Lady enamel pin is now up for preorder! It's currently being printed at the factory, and should be shipping out in mid- to late-June. The X's in the mock-up mean those holes will be punched out just like real perfs which I think is gonna look neat!

Doing something where I need to contact a bunch of police depts, many of which are so small as to barely have websites, and every time I do this I'm surprised that these departments whose sites barely work have pages that are like "policy on persistent drone surveillance" or "how we use our tanks"

A technology that has proven to produce false positives that can ruin innocent people’s lives.

Police secretly monitored New Orleans with facial recognition cameras

Following records requests from The Post, officials paused the first known, widespread live facial recognition program used by police in the United States.

Ok this is your moment film lovers, I am fine-tuning this enamel pin design to order over the weekend and I am curious if other people will a) get it, and more importantly b) buy it?

Maybe instead of 30 dolls she gets one. And maybe it costs a few dollars more. And maybe it contains the transferred soul of Charles Lee Ray. And maybe it's always yelling "Ade due Damballa. Give me the power, I beg of you." It's fine.

My brother worked at a drive-in theater in 1970. After the "Mark of the Devil" finished its run he brought home a case of the leftover vomit bags. My thrifty mother noticed their high quality construction. As a result all of my lunches during junior high were packed in "Mark of the Devil" bags.

You saw the movie, eh?

Promotional and useable Vomit bag, 1970 - for folks seeing Mark of the Devil in theatres.
