It is now illegal in New Mexico to openly possess a firearm within 100 feet of a polling place and 50 feet of a drop box.

Ill Considered & special guests incl. Theon Cross - Precipice (Live)

I was just wondering when Ill Considered might have new music out and here it is, ahead of a single coming out tomorrow. Since their most recent album was their finest yet (in fact it keeps moving up and is entering rare air in my personal hierarchy, I think it is a masterpiece) I'm quite excited for anything new from them.

As usual for them, this is improvised.

This really hurts. Tom (Tommy) Smothers, who along with his brother Dick formed the Smothers Brothers, has died at 86. Despite his character being played as a dummy, in reality he was the driving force of the comedy duo, pushing them from a fairly straightforward singing comedy team into realms of free speech, anti-Vietnam war, and anti-censorship realms that incurred the wrath of President Johnson, who pushed CBS to cancel their show ("The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour") -- which ultimately happened.

When they featured (in September 1967) once blacklisted Peter Seeger singing his anti-Vietnam war "Waist Deep in the Big Muddy" all hell broke loose and CBS cut the performance from the tape before the show aired. After pressure from the brothers, CBS permitted them to bring him back for another performance of the song in February the next year, which did air -- but the brothers relationship with CBS was beyond repair, especially when CBS tampered with a performance by Harry Belafonte later that year.

It's impossible for me to express here the impact of the Smothers Brothers, or reasonably point at a single representative sample of their vast work, or their many interviews about these topics, but you may find this Q&A interesting as a starting point.

Peace Tommy. You deserve it.

I so, so, so don't want to drive any new car that can do this:

A federal appeals court refused to bring back a class action lawsuit alleging four auto manufacturers had violated Washington state’s privacy laws by using vehicles’ on-board infotainment systems to record and intercept customers’ private text messages and mobile phone call logs.

The court ruled that the practice does not meet the threshold for an illegal privacy violation under state law, handing a big win to automakers Honda, Toyota, Volkswagen and General Motors, which are defendants in five related class action suits focused on the issue.

The plaintiffs had appealed a prior judge’s dismissal. But the appeals court ruled Tuesday that the interception and recording of mobile phone activity did not meet the Washington Privacy Act’s standard that a plaintiff must prove that “his or her business, his or her person, or his or her reputation” has been threatened.

A suit filed against Honda in 2021, argu[ed] that beginning in at least 2014 infotainment systems in the company’s vehicles began downloading and storing a copy of all text messages on smartphones when they were connected to the system.

An Annapolis, Maryland-based company, Berla Corporation, provides the technology to some car manufacturers but does not offer it to the general public, the lawsuit said. Once messages are downloaded, Berla’s software makes it impossible for vehicle owners to access their communications and call logs but does provide law enforcement with access, the lawsuit said.

Many car manufacturers are selling car owners’ data to advertisers as a revenue boosting tactic, according to earlier reporting by Recorded Future News. Automakers are exponentially increasing the number of sensors they place in their cars every year with little regulation of the practice.
