pro blocking tip: if you see a horrible/stupid/enraging take on here, you can go through all the replies and block all the people you see agreeing with it and THEN you can block the original poster.

A small town police force bragged that citizens "can't get a breath of fresh air in or out without us knowing" thanks to Flock surveillance cameras.

They used the cameras to wrongly accused a woman of a crime, forcing her to find other surveillance video to prove her innocence.

Boo!

A comic with three rows of panels.

The first row has four panels. Each panel shows Dipper the corgi sleeping, as a pumpkin headed creature slowly sneaks in behind him. By the fourth panel, dipper is starting to wake up but has not registered the creature yet.

The second row also has four panels, sort of. In the first panel, Dipper sees the creature and freaks out. In the second, he starts to run away, pressing up against the white panel border, which bends around him like it is made out of fabric. As he continues to run, he tears off the border between the third and fourth panels, which wraps around him like a sheet as he falls over.

In the third row, there are now only two panels, because the borders dividing what was panel 1 from 2 and panel 3 from 4 are torn.

In the first large panel, the pumpkin creature lifts off it's pumpkin head, revealing it was Hilde the cat all along. She laughs at her successful prank. Dipper lies on the ground, covered by the white sheet. His front legs have poked two little holes in it.

In the second large panel, Dipper sits up, still covered by the sheet. The sheet combined with the two holes his arms made cause him to look like a dog-shaped ghost. Hilde screams.

Democrats are furious that the Trump Administration held a briefing on Capitol Hill today about U.S. military strikes on suspected drug boats. Only Republicans were invited. This is from Sen. Mark Warner D-VA.

Foxes In Love @foxes-in-love.bsky.social · 4d

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are at a fast food restaurant, observing an automated self-serve menu stand.
Blue: These self-serve fast food ordering things sure are convenient.

Green sits back and watches as Blue ticks through the options of his order.
Blue: No pickles, no onion…
Green: I wonder if it lets me order one with nothing.

Blue watches incredulously as Green makes his own order, choosing no ingredients.
Green: No pickles, no sauce, no onion, no patty, no bun…

Once Green has finished making his order, both foxes jump in fright as an unseen kitchen staff fox yells angrily.
Kitchen fox: Who ordered the nothingburger?!

It is a different cognitive challenge, for sure. It has streamlined a bit but having to step out of the "job" to juggle the managment of documents is painful.
