Oh man, that video gets even more insane the longer you watch. He was apparently going to weekly meetings where he was talking with other dads about their sons jerking off and how they get blurred screen captures from the program when it detects possible porn.

(And how proud he was when he got an alert and a blurred image sent to his phone and it turned out to just be a livestream of two of his teachers talking and wearing shoulder-less dresses.

The oldest Duggar kid had that on his computers because his wife insisted on it, but he was very easily able to work around it so that he could view child porn at work.

It's like each layer is worse than the last, and it's all so loving creepy that it's kind of effectively distracting from the fact that the Speaker of the House has all his electronics monitored by a puritanical 3rd party app. Like, I want to focus on that but then, boom, middle aged men and their teenage sons gathering to talk about what they got caught jerking off to.

Goddamn America indeed.

The US prison system is just modern slavery but holy poo poo it's way worse than I was aware of. I'm not gonna post the full article because there is some dire poo poo in it.

https://apnews.com/article/prison-to-plate-inmate-labor-investigation-c6f0eb4747963283316e494eadf08c4e

quote:


ANGOLA, La. (AP) — A hidden path to America’s dinner tables begins here, at an unlikely source – a former Southern slave plantation that is now the country’s largest maximum-security prison.

Unmarked trucks packed with prison-raised cattle roll out of the Louisiana State Penitentiary, where men are sentenced to hard labor and forced to work, for pennies an hour or sometimes nothing at all. After rumbling down a country road to an auction house, the cows are bought by a local rancher and then followed by The Associated Press another 600 miles to a Texas slaughterhouse that feeds into the supply chains of giants like McDonald’s, Walmart and Cargill.

Intricate, invisible webs, just like this one, link some of the world’s largest food companies and most popular brands to jobs performed by U.S. prisoners nationwide, according to a sweeping two-year AP investigation into prison labor that tied hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of agricultural products to goods sold on the open market.

They are among America’s most vulnerable laborers. If they refuse to work, some can jeopardize their chances of parole or face punishment like being sent to solitary confinement. They also are often excluded from protections guaranteed to almost all other full-time workers, even when they are seriously injured or killed on the job.

Prisoners harvest turnips at the Louisiana State Penitentiary, April 15, 2014, in Angola, La. Within days of arrival, they head to the fields, sometimes using hoes and shovels or picking crops by hand. Today, it houses some 3,800 men behind its razor-wire walls. (AP Photo/Gerald Herbert, File)

...

The goods these prisoners produce wind up in the supply chains of a dizzying array of products found in most American kitchens, from Frosted Flakes cereal and Ball Park hot dogs to Gold Medal flour, Coca-Cola and Riceland rice. They are on the shelves of virtually every supermarket in the country, including Kroger, Target, Aldi and Whole Foods. And some goods are exported, including to countries that have had products blocked from entering the U.S. for using forced or prison labor.

Edit:

The NYPD just put out a statement. They don't back Sliwa's claim that he was shoplifting. They said that someone called the cops because he was getting confrontational with members of the guardian angels and trying to "disrupt a live television interview."

They gave him a ticket for disorderly conduct and let him go.

There is no confirmation on whether he was a migrant or not, but apparently someone mentioned he had family in Venezuela and that was what lead Sliwa to claim he was a migrant. That claim is also not confirmed by anyone there.

quote:

Officers responded to a 911 call about “a disorderly male,” a police spokesperson told The Post, with no mention of it being either a migrant or a shoplifter.

“Upon arrival officers observed a male being detained by bystanders,” the spokesperson said.

“Officers were informed that the male had repeatedly attempted to interfere with and disrupt a live television interview. The male was issued a summons for disorderly conduct.”

CNN also now saying they have confirmed the man's identity and that he is not a recent migrant. His parents brought him to the U.S. when he was 10 and he is currently 23.

A law enforcement official told CNN’s Mark Morales the man was not a recent migrant. Instead, he was a 23-year-old from the Bronx who moved to the US when he was 10 years old.

My favorite mini-storyline of NYC politics is that a Republican mayoral candidate promised to kill a cat if he had to make a choice on whether to kill a cat or slow down a MTA train.

After he lost, Curtis Sliwa was the next Republican nominee and he owns 17 cats, was almost unable to vote for himself because he brought one of his cats to the polling station and threatened to fight the poll workers when they wouldn't let him bring the cat inside the booth, and got hit by a taxi.

He’s what could generously be called “a character”.

I was on a phone in public and couldn’t watch the video ; I couldn’t even really see the preview image. But it was racialized violence with that loving beret and I knew instantly that we were in Sliwa territory.

In fairness at the time, penal labor was a completely acceptable and accepted punishment for crime that was by no means unique to the US. It's just that unlike most other countries, the US decided it loving loves using prisoners to make money for the rich and so never reformed away from it later.

I've absolutely heard of Covenant Eyes before, but I have not heard of a father and son using it. Generally it's assumed to be for you and another consenting adult, equal partners who are trying to stay away from porn and have agreed to keep tabs on each other. Father and son, though, that is equal parts creepy and "no way that's gonna work"

And aside from all that, the security aspect is a pretty huge problem.
