Cipolla’s Five Laws of Human Stupidity
1. Always and inevitably, everyone underestimates the number of stupid individuals in circulation.
2. The probability that a certain person is stupid is independent of any other characteristic of that person.
→ Education, wealth, or ideology don’t protect against stupidity.
3. A stupid person is one who causes losses to another person or group while deriving no gain and even possibly incurring losses themselves.
4. Non-stupid people always underestimate the destructive power of stupid individuals.
→ Rational people assume stupidity can be reasoned with, it can’t.
5. A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person.
→ Because you can predict the behavior of a bandit (self-interest), but not the chaos of someone acting irrationally and destructively for no reason.

NYPD turns public housing Internet program into surveillance network
The New York Police Department (NYPD) has quietly begun wiring cameras at scale in public housing into its real-time surveillance network, sparking a political battle over privacy, transparency, and the use of digital-equity infrastructure as a policing tool.
By tapping the broadband lines of the city’s Big Apple Connect program, officers are now able to watch New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) residents through a live feed connected to NYPD’s Domain Awareness System (DAS), a move officials say will speed investigations, but which critics warn turns public housing into a testing ground for expanded government monitoring.
Originally designed as a counterterrorism platform, DAS now aggregates CCTV, license-plate readers, 911 calls, complaint, arrest and warrant data, and other NYPD databases, and can surface linked records about people, locations, and vehicles.

Genetic privacy erodes as millions of DNA profiles are entered into US database
In May 2024, researchers at Georgetown Law’s Center on Privacy & Technology released a sprawling report on how the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) had quietly built one of the most expansive DNA surveillance systems in American history.
What began as a rule change in the waning days of Donald Trump’s first administration had by then spiraled into a massive dragnet. More than 1.5 million genetic profiles were funneled into the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) in just four years, dwarfing the pace of criminal law enforcement collection.
The report warned that immigration powers were being twisted into a tool for population-scale genetic monitoring, with people of color disproportionately swept up into the system.

Help me, winter is upon us, and my children and I have nothing. It is definitely cold in winter. No clothes, no blankets, and the tent is worn out. I need urgent help, my brothers. Support is not with slogans, but with material and moral support. Please do not let me down.
One dollar is small for you but very big for me and my family

Ibrahim Is A Gazan I've Been Communicated With On Telegram, He Reached Out On My Newswire @PsyopDaily GC. He's Provided Timestamped Photos To Me Numerous Times, Upon My Request. He needs your help.
In over a month, he's gotten $140. Keep in mind, A bag of flour cost $400 -$500 in Gaza right now.😔

GoFundMe Creator: "Please help my friend Ibrahim. He resides in Gaza. He used to own a small carpentry workshop — it was everything he had in this world. He built it with his own hands, and it was his only source of income. Through it, he used to support his family and preserve his dignity.
But the war did not spare him or his family. Their area was bombed, and his workshop was completely destroyed. In addition, his house was bombed too, leaving him homeless and without any means of livelihood.
Today, he and his children live in unbearable conditions. They have nothing to eat. His children are suffering from malnutrition because he can no longer provide food or medicine. He doesn't know how to explain to them that he can no longer give them anything. The pain in their eyes breaks his heart every day. No children should have to endure this and no parent should have to watch.
I beg you from the bottom of my heart: please help him get back on his feet. Your donation, no matter how small, could save a life and bring a smile back to a child’s face. Look at what hunger has forced them into — his children and he are eating red lentils soaked in water as their daily meal, but food is scarce and most is bug-infested.
May God reward you with goodness and place your generosity in the scale of your good deeds."
