I post about politics - yep, I'm one of THOSE people. But you'll also find other bits and bobs. Colorado native. #TrialSky
I once took a picture of Simon LeBon's Sole.
I don't mince words, and I curse... a lot.

Last night was a blast! Saw @whiterosemotoroil.bsky.social, and they were spectacular! Eryn DeSomer has a voice that could break the sound barrier - so powerful! 🤩

That being said, the way companies are using AI is pretty diabolical (alt text added):
![Of course, loyalty programs pre-date AI, not to mention the internet itself. But gone are the punch cards of yore. The Vanderbilt report’s lead example is McDonald’s Monopoly game promotion, which has been around for decades but has now gone digital. Let’s say you win a food item on a peel-off token; to redeem it, you have to use the restaurant’s app, and that requires forfeiting one’s privacy:
[T]o be eligible for these prizes, customers must agree to be tracked on far more than their Big Mac purchases. McDonald’s nearly 10,000-word privacy policy notes how the company can monitor customers’ precise geolocation, browsing history, app interactions, and social media activity. The company then uses this data to train its artificial intelligence models and build profiles on its customers—predicting their “preferences, characteristics, psychological trends, predispositions, behavior, attitudes, intelligence, abilities, or aptitudes.” McDonald’s leverages these psychological profiles to drive repeat customer engagement over time.
If McDonald’s succeeds in its goal of reaching 250 active loyalty users by 2027, the report adds, the company “will hold psychological and behavioral profiles on a quarter of a billion consumers—a scale rivaling that of a national intelligence agency.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ko6oszoseh7yox7wszkek2lh/bafkreiflge4wupwz2iqvijt6bbuu7du2j3qxravgs5fp5vgvsy2y2rxfpq@jpeg)

They switched camera views. It's now on the opposite wall of the courtroom where you can't see the military guy.
I'm not one for conspiracy theories, but I know this case will be rife with them.

OK, the bailiff/court officer is there - he was looking at the military dude like, "WTF?! Why are you in my courtroom?!"
I really want to know why the military dude is there.

Where are the bailiffs/court officers?
Are our court proceedings subject to military supervision now?

Pedantic fucks like this are what makes me want to throw myself off a fucking bridge.
They're so banal and boring, but they poke at you as if that's their life's mission.
Jesus Christ, go drown in your oatmeal and stay there.
The world will move on without you.

Oh my god - I don't know who this Bowman guy is, but he's having none of the government's bullshit! I don't know who the government attorney is either, but he deserves a full-throated, back-handed bitch-slap.
You know in his head Bowman's screaming, "shut the fuck up, you whiny bastard!"

This transcript is hilarious. Bovino can barely string two words together and the government's attorney, Khojasteh, is being completely owned by Bowman.
This is great!

This is one of the things that pings my brain. This wasn't just a "man passed out in the snow," as Jen McCabe described her "dear friend" on the 911 call, this was one of their fellow officers.
You'd think they'd give at least one shit.
