The corporate dystopian aesthetic is getting very literal in Times Square. AI privacy vs AI surveillance - is this a reasonable middle ground?

The corporate dystopian aesthetic is getting very literal in Times Square. AI privacy vs AI surveillance - is this a reasonable middle ground?

"AI should be private and optional." New campaign hitting Times Square. The paradox of having massive corporate-sponsored screens in the middle of New York lecturing us on data surveillance. Is this wild only to me?

America's 250th: A Nation on the Verge of Collapse

America just turned 250. But which America are we celebrating?
There are two countries sharing one flag right now. One where billionaires build bunkers, buy citizenship abroad, and write the rules. And one where the rest of us can't afford to retire, can't afford to get sick, and are being told the solution is more surveillance, not less.
In this video, I break down where we actually stand at 250: the retirement crisis facing ordinary Americans, the accelerating push for digital ID, and what the UK and China show us about where that road leads. This isn't a celebration, and it isn't doom for clicks — it's an honest accounting, with evidence, of why this country feels like it's coming apart. Because it is. The division isn't the disease. It's the symptom. They want you arguing left vs. right. The real line is top vs. bottom. https://youtu.be/8M8B2JlPz4c?si=UniK0I7hKDqQVvfv

Decided to look at the newspaper we always get in the mail. There’s no news

I wanted to try scrapbooking or whatever that’s called and finally opened up a newspaper I received a few days ago. Am I insane? Are “adpapers” a thing now? I’ve always seen people throwing these away in the mailroom as do I whenever I see one. It’s truly just a waste of paper. The news companies understand and they’ve withdrawn from the paper, so why not the companies behind these ads? There’s not even any coupons
Nothing of use
