Lying is the bedrock of any surveillance state. There’s no way ice isn’t all over these camera networks, and Bezos has no accountability to anyone on privacy issues.
Ring doorbells hurt democracies. It even hurts non-democratic states like the US.

I will canvass for whichever candidate runs on putting this man in prison in 2028.
The man who literally wrote the book on the use of vehicles as ramming weapons says any claim Good used hers as such is false, and that her execution, followed by the false claim, is "death squad behavior."
Same company that did the tile work at the oyster bar at grand central did the city hall subway station ceiling. It’s lovely.
The airport has a top-notch space frame. I feel like buck rogers in there.

Bjork brought me a coffee once. It was very cold and early in the morning and it was lovely of her to do.
Makes me think about Winogrand saying “the photograph has to be more dramatic than the subject”. I don’t think that’s quite right - not everything has to be presented as “drama” I don’t think. Brohm seems interested in something else - “interest” maybe? Too vague probably.
Same. This series in particular, since I really know the place, helped me understand what it means to clearly see a place and how that translates into a good photograph.

Activist Grace Lee Boggs said the exact same thing after Obama was elected. Right after the results were announced she said (and I’m paraphrasing a little but this is close) “leftists need to stop looking for saviors. It’s very dangerous. We are the saviors”. She was a smart cookie like you.
I guess we all get front row seats to what’s slouching towards Bethlehem. Great.
But what will this mean for the evil table dancing scene?
I was in the backseat of the car, my two best friend brothers in the front whipping along a gravel road at an alarming speed. The elder drove as the younger blasted master of puppets from the boom box between them. Then without warning the elder brother tore out the tape, throwing it into the road.
