Your Smart TV Knows What You’re Watching (themarkup.org)

These TVs can capture and identify 7,200 images per hour, or approximately two every second. The data is then used for content recommendations and ad targeting, which is a huge business; advertisers spent an estimated $18.6 billion on smart TV ads in 2022, according to market research firm eMarketer.

I leave the TV on all day for the cats, I'm sure they're getting lots of useful data while they sleep in front of MASH reruns

@catsalad Isle Royale and a good chunk of the Keweenaw Peninsula gone too, did they finally sneak over to Canada?

It snows there from October to May, and there's super bad black flies and mosquitos once it thaws. Only 3% of the Michigan population live there, and they'd prefer you not interfere with that.

Oh no, it's never good to see a picture of one's high school in the news. That stuck-up suburb is still teeming with white supremacists and indignant morons.

I like pizza, but don't like cheese. Without cheese, the sauce gets dried out, so I order regular pizza and eat the toppings, then peel and discard the cheese before eating the rest. Sometimes I pile the toppings and reapply them to the cheese-free pizza afterwards.

Without cheese, the sauce gets a layer of dried, often burnt, sauce in areas not covered by toppings. It's OK once in a while, but not great.

Back in the day, I'd be thrilled to read something like this, but now all I hear is 'look at how many new ways the Google overlord can fuck humans up with protein mutations to eliminate fragile meat-based enemies'

It looks like a protection racket with extra steps. An unpleasant solution presented by the problem creator. Why is this not banned?

The End of Roe Is Having a Chilling Effect on Pregnancy (www.politico.com)

Polling conducted in August by All In Together, in partnership with polling firm Echelon Insights found that 34 percent of women aged 18-39 said they or someone they know personally has “decided not to get pregnant due to concerns about managing pregnancy-related medical emergencies.” Put another way, poor or unavailable...

K-9 officer put on leave after police dog attacks surrendering suspect (abcnews.go.com)

An Ohio K-9 officer has been put on administrative leave, and his dog placed in a kennel, following an incident this month in which the animal was captured on body-camera footage attacking a truck driver as he was surrendering to state troopers with his hands up following a highway chase, an official told ABC News on Monday.

Why? The dog did their job right, it was the handler that fucked up. If anything the dog is the least deserving of punishment in this scenario.

This was super obviously suspicious from day 1. I immediately thought either this person was in a drug induced haze, trying to cover up a drunk/drugged driving incident, in the middle of a mental health crisis, or covering up being somewhere with someone they shouldn't have been at the time.

I draw the line where one political side wants me to go back to the fucking kitchen and eliminate anyone who's not straight and cisgender because of their violent imaginary friend

Starting September 12, 2001 it became mandatory in high school, with disciplinary action taken if you refused to stand during the pledge

Fucking hell, just reminds me again that if they lose the election anyway, the state can just come in and replace the entire elected board as they see fit--see Houston TX for example. Why the fuck did I put effort into researching and voting for not-insane, education-experienced school board members just to watch them get removed against the will of the people in the district?

What, no period talk until 6th grade? Did no one tell them the average age of menarche has been declining for a while, and it's not unusual for 9-10 year olds to start menstruating? If anything they should be covering it for even younger kids than before.
