I would like you to imagine a dog collar... Can you see it? Good. Please understand this is a special kind of collar. it has all the usual things of course, emergency contact number, licenses, immunization records and such. It also has very accurate GPS and cameras, all for safety. It is even AI controlled. Geewhiz that’s exciting!

It does lots of other things as well. It is tied to your bank account, your car, your smart home, your passport, drivers license, health records, insurance information, and even other collars. It tracks so much data that it makes your smart watch look like a friendship bracelet by comparison.

It is also an E-collar. It can shock the wearer into submission, you know, for training. it might also have a small bit of explosive material for when the training fails. Most importantly, there is no way to take it off. In fact, it is illegal to try and take it off. Still with me?

Now I would like you to imagine putting this collar on. I would like you to imagine giving the remote control for it to your worst enemy. Even imagine giving the remote control to your best friend, but understand that the next time your best friend switches jobs, the remote control goes to whoever gets the job next, even if it is your worst enemy.

Are you comfortable with this? If not, then I would encourage you to contact your representatives and tell them why you think Flock cameras are a very bad idea. Please feel free to use your big kid voice. Be the change you want to see in the world.

Also consider Mikinakoos' as they're extending support beyond their traditional service areas due to the scale of this emergency!

During the stop, Lorenzo had 3 coworkers with him in his truck who have all been taken into ICE custody.

His family described Lorenzo as a hardworking family man who didn’t deserve to be killed. All he wanted was to provide for his wife and see his sons become great people. His eldest son recognized his father by his cries and pleas when trying to identify who the victim was.

The Salgado Araujo family has set up a gofundme to help with funeral and legal costs, and to help keep their family supported since Lorenzo was the sole provider.

Hello, gays! Saving for next month. I'm still paying 1 installment monthly (from old cards debts). I'll spend what is saved in July on mother's eyes (after 2 surgeries she'll need a third). I need to continue my anemia treatment. My back pain has become worse and more often. We both have chronic health issues and living on benefits means bills keep happening cause emergencies keep happening. We weren't prepared for her issues right now, as most of us disabled and financially struggling people aren't.

Today we paid rent, food and utensils, thanks to benefits + help, and we might need it again. Please, if you can support us in any way, any dono is appreciated.

Like said, I know lots of us struggle, and if you can't or prefer not to help, I totally get it... Thank you so much regardless, and special thanks to people who reach out with kindness. More info under the cut.

this is fucking insane. two different cases in Florida where pregnant Black women were forced into video call court proceedings, in the middle of labor, laying in their hospital beds, because their doctors chose to go after them for refusing cesarean sections.

the first woman was able to convince them to let her continue laboring unless it became medically necessary, and ultimately chose to go through with the C-section of her own accord later.

the second woman was completely denied autonomy and the C-section was performed against her will.

"Stop forcing pregnant people to have cesarean births.

Take all necessary steps to end discriminatory policies and practices based on sex, gender, pregnancy status, and race.

Discipline the doctors and hospital staff who ignored Doyley and Bennett’s concerns and coerced them to undergo a court-ordered C-section against their will.

Publicly acknowledge and provide financial relief for the harm UF Health caused to the Doyley family and Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare inflicted on the Bennett family."

This is actually the reason she was Cherise was forced to have one. She had had three c-sections in the past and it was determined after 12 hours that she might need to have another.

Brianna also had a prior c-section and was in labor for 24 hours before being forced to have one.

To put it bluntly it’s a question of who has more rights, the mom or the fetus and where do the rights of each begin and end.

Let’s say there’s a woman who needs a c-section or the baby will very likely die. In a state where the mom has more rights then she can be told this and essentially wave away her right to sue the hospital over the baby’s death by refusing the c-section and going with a natural birth anyway. It would be traumatic for all involved but it would be her choice.

In a state where the fetus has more rights then if determined that there’s a risk then she can be forced to undergo the surgery.

Carolina Milanesi, an independent technology analyst, said Google is trying to make its cash cow business — search — richer and more personalized, and it will make shopping easier. But there is a risk that users may have fewer choices about what to click. "Right now it's: I ask a question, I get a bunch of answers and I feel that I'm in control as to which answer I take, or if I'm looking for something, which product I'm going to end up buying. That is going to be less so going forward," she said. Milanesi envisions AI-enabled search and agents proposing products to consumers — perhaps even those they have requested — but with less clarity or choice around where it's coming from. "If you're going to say: 'I want a pair of Jordans, go find them,' you're not necessarily sure what steps have been taken and whether the AI has used a source or a store that was paid for and therefore came up in the search results," she said, "or if AI actually went and did their due diligence and picked the best for me as a customer."

And here's one from Time magazine (May 20, 2026):

While Google already has “AI Mode,” the company will now power the whole search bar through its new Gemini 3.5 Flash model.  Instead of the classic list of blue links, Google Search will now also generate a custom page with an AI-generated summary of what you’re searching about, which will then trigger a conversation with AI Mode on the main page, allowing users to ask follow-up questions—similar to the kind of layout you would see when opening ChatGPT.

And a little more from Time's article on how this may affect the websites that we are trying to search for:
