Remember all those videos of police screaming "Stop Resisting" at people who very clearly weren't resisting? Congratulations, you're now a violent criminal.

Little blip at 1701 (NCC-1701). I wonder what the other individual blips represent.

And suddenly, everything the Russian banks do is related to civil nuclear energy ....

I would love AOC as president. Unfortunately, she's a woman and she's a minority, and this country is just too racist and sexist - and stupid! - to elect her.

This can only end well ...

There was a NYT article about three different incidents of ice impersonators back in February.

Until they change their ToS (without telling you) and enable it by default (and hide the controls that let you decline).

Bruuuuuucccceeeeeeeeeee!

Facial recognition apps are notoriously inaccurate when it comes to minority faces, but I suppose they think that's a benefit :(

I can only hope ...

In other words, meta is harvesting your WhatsApp data, and gives you a (potentially inaccurate) summary in exchange for feeding their LLMs.

Just a reminder that the "border" in the US extends 100 miles inland from any actual physical border - so 100 miles inland from Canada, Mexico, the Atlantic, Pacific or Arctic oceans, or the Gulf of Mexico.

And that for the last decade or so, they've also been trying to claim that any international airport is also a border, so the "border" would extend 100 out from Denver, Saint Louis, Indianapolis, etc.

And they've been trying to claim that an "international" airport is any airport capable of landing an international flight, regardless of whether any international flights actually fly there.

Elon Musk‘s lawyers are claiming he “does not use a computer,” contradicting Musk’s social media posts, video game streams, employees at his companies, publicly available data, and common sense.

I mean, poverty helped kickstart the last one ....

I would love to get some of these data centers off our power grid.

Just a reminder that it's illegal to wear masks in New Orleans unless it's Carnivale.

If they didn't do anything wrong, why are they trying to hide?

tl;dr: US conservatives have been generally racist, sexist, xenophobic and homophobic, and those traits have become increasingly stronger in the past decade or so.

More stuff in lower resolution, and focus on less-popular (or less-collectible) material.

The internet isn't going to go out just for you, it's going to go out for everyone (at least in your region). You're going to be without it for the long-term, so you'll want variety in what you can watch and listen to. But your friends and family will also be looking for entertainment, so you'll be providing for a range of tastes over a long period.

You want to focus on less-popular / less-collectible material because trading networks will spring up, and the less-popular material will be the stuff that's in demand. There'll be plenty of people with a full collection of Star Trek or all the Best Picture winners, that kind of thing. But there'll also be people who suddenly realize that they want to re-watch all of Law and Order or they've always meant to watch Miami Vice and now is the perfect time.

I'll also point out that you've hypothesized that it's just the internet that's gone down. There would still be broadcast tv and radio, and I think people would re-adapt to broadcast viewing and listening.

"Subject has no criminal history.". Fuckers.
