The Las Vegas Sphere as seen by night, with the lights of Vegas behind it. The Sphere itself has been replaced with the glaring red eye of HAL 9000 from Kubrick's '2001: A Space Odyssey,' and centered on it is a Madison Square Garden logo. The Sphere has been topped with Trump's hair. Image: Cryteria (modified) https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:HAL9000.svg CC BY 3.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en

damn, you were in Toronto on my birthday and missed it! Lol. Anyhow, I've been reading your book about seizing the means of computation and have been loving it. When I was in high school and wanted to be a programmer, I devoured your books, especially Pirate Cinema and Little Brother, and now that I'm older, I'm glad you've put out something of the philosophy behind those works. So, thank you! Cheers, man!

one conspiracy theory I find totally plausible is that Mangione was identified by facial recognition tech at McDonalds. Given what we know about how venues like MSG are doing real time facial recognition, and how the feds have backdoor access to things like gmail, and law enforcement access to AI face search platforms like Clearview, it seems totally plausible to me that three letter agencies have face search access to the fleet of McDonalds security cameras
