🚨 Oh, joy! Another #dystopian #surveillance toy for the boys in blue 🚔. Because who doesn't love a camera that knows where your car is every second? Citizens, apparently, but who asked them? 🤷♂️

Here's some local reporting, encouraging users in the Poconos to recognize and report Flock cameras wherever they see them.
They mention WaPo's reporting that over 50 police have been charged with using Flock surveillance for stalking personally. In Georgia alone, 18 such arrests have been documented.

“Release” is a #dystopian #SciFi #MMRomance by Marie Sexton.
Misha grew up in the “trenches” of lower Davlova, where the poorest citizens scratch out a living without technology while the high-born “purebloods” live in electrified luxury behind the walls of the inner city on the hill. Misha gets taken in by one of the clans, criminal gangs that run all sorts of operations in the city. Over the years, Misha learned the fine art of pickpocketing. Sometimes he also turns tricks to see if a potential mark had a lot of money, and where he kept it.
One day, the clan leader offers Misha a new opportunity. One of the most powerful men in the city is looking for a new toy boy and wants someone “exotic.” The clan leader isn’t just asking Misha to prostitute himself. She wants him to gain the man’s confidence and learn his secrets. The information may provide the catalyst that starts a revolution.

"British Police Offer Animal Rights Activist "Thinking Skills" Course Over Online Post"
To summarise, a UK Animal-Rights activist posted an Instagram reel about the activity of a British lab allegedly breeding beagles for "research". Soon after, a couple of police turned up on her doorstep to "discuss" her social post. If you're sceptical about Government/Police overreach in the UK it's well worth a read.
The course "offered" is actually devised by HM Prison Service: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/217268/correctional-services-accreditation-panel-report-09-10-annex-e.pdf

I am super amped to announce the next live concert, online, free and easy to attend in your browser just like the other recent shows. If you could use some dark disco in your life or perhaps are a bit synth curious...
control.org presents: cycles
28th August 0100 UTC (or 27th Aug time zone dependent)
at: https://live.theindiebeat.fm/
Join me on a live walk through 30+ years of control.org. There will be tracks never played live before, songs from every release, debuts of tracks from the upcoming album ERADICATE, obscure remixes, and remade tracks from the cassette era for another new release called REGENERATE!
Apologies to my European and UK friends whom show the heck up and I usually cater to prime time. This concert is part of the #NHAMFest26 streaming festival and I took a time that isn't so early in my morning. This means Asia Pacific and the Americas, please get amongst it and join in the chat for a good cathartic stomp.
Hope to see you at the show.
I have made some changes to the micro black box theatre I broadcast from to freshen things up. I also have two other custom live productions under development and in the pipe.
As always, the catalogue, with new stuff adding soon, is free or donate what you can if you can at:
https://music.control.org
If you have the desire and means you can donate for a "ticket" and be an advanced member of the Gaffer Tape Appreciation Society. The shows run on 64% adhesives and hacks. It helps me keep the studio warm and develop and deliver more free for all live events in solidarity.

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 […] -

Ahoy dark disco aficionados, gaffer tape appreciators, and hopefully curious others?
Great news! I am about to announce two upcoming new custom live production concerts and a third production as a virtual world tour coinciding with a new album. As always these shows will be free to attend and on independent platforms of agency for artist and punter.
Of course there is bad news. My drum mixer had been progressively losing some channels and has got to a point that it can't do the job and needs retired. I have skipped enough meds to cover half of what I need. Hoping we can stir up some fresh looks, listens, and support for my catalogue, the live shows, donate what you can commissions for sound assets and remixes or just tossing a few bones to help me oontz our way through the darkness.
See my pinned posts for commission stuff and recent releases. And posts about previous shows and my home brewed micro black box theatre I can perform from in my bubble. It is 64% gaffer tape and rising...
My music catalogue is always free in solidarity or donate what you can if you can.
