Facial Recognition is spiralling out of control in the UK and there are no clear laws in place to protect our privacy
Stop scanning us all with facial recognition Unlike CCTV, facial recognition doesn’t just record what you do, your face becomes a barcode in the same way as your fingerprint or your DNA. We must stop this. The Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood, recently revealed her chilling vision of building a “panopticon” where “the eyes of the state can be on you at all times.” Your passport photo is now being searched by police facial recognition systems, even if you have done nothing wrong […] -

#SCotUS is so rotten and partisan, the talking heads are saying "At least it makes the pre-writes easier"
Meaning when they're writing the articles about cases we know the #SupremeCourt agreed to hear and are waiting for a #verdict, the court's fascist-leaning #judgements are easily predictable.

Two tremendous dystopian whodunnit films
Two recently released dystopian thrillers are outstanding movies and both are available via streaming services.
Mercy (2026)
Source: imdb.comReleased earlier this year, Mercy is a tremendously interesting and entertaining science fiction movie — despite what the critics may say. In fact, the reviews and ratings by viewers of the film are much, much higher than those of the critics.
Rebecca Ferguson and Chris Pratt are tremendous in their respective roles – Ms. Ferguson as the AI generated Judge Maddox of the Mercy Capital Court and Mr. Pratt as a police officer accused of murder. He has exactly 90 minutes to prove his innocence sufficiently to AI Judge Maddox (a threshold below 92 percent likelihood of guilt) or be summarily executed.
Mr. Pratt must prove his innocence while his arms and legs are locked into the execution chair by employing all sorts of evidence gathering techniques that access the court’s ties to the municipal cloud. All technological devices within the city (LA) must be registered to the municipal cloud so defendants can access them. This includes surveillance cameras, live action feeds, cell phones, databases, and other technologies available. He can do this by use of a small hand screen or through voice requests to the cloud and/or AI Judge Maddox.
You will definitely be on the edge of your set while watching Mercy!
Relay (2025)
Released to theaters in 2025, Relay is thoroughly entertaining movie and unique in its story/use of an older technology as the conduit to protect whistleblowers who are being tormented by those entities they called out or implicated.
Relay stars Lily James and Riz Ahmed, who both excel in this film. Lily James plays a whistleblower who is being harassed by powerful corporation that she has dirt on. Meanwhile, Mr. Ahmed play the fixer who uses old-fashion TTY (teletypewriter) relay service to communicate with his clients (the whistleblowers) and to those who are harassing them.
TTY machine – Source: ultratec.comThis movie fan does not recall seeing TTY employed in a movie before and certainly never in such a central role of the plot. Mr. Ahmed’s use of old-fashioned TTY technology makes his communications virtually untraceable. That premise alone makes Relay highly engaging, truly groundbreaking, and a definite must see!
Hope you enjoy both films too. Peace!

Not the #Cyberpunk proper, being written back in 1975, but fucking close. And still extremely to the point even some fifty years later. It feels so damn contemporary I couldn't believe it had been written so long ago.
(I only checked the publishing date after I finished the book) 😯#ShockwaveRider #JohnBrunner #ComputerWorm #hacking #dystopia #mastobooks #SciFi #net #hackers
