Joe Heller turns surveillance into a roll call of America's dysfunctions: measles, botched executions, institutional absurdity and Trump's Nobel fixation. The cameras aren't the punchline. What they're watching is. 📹🤦🇺🇸 #PoliticalCartoon #Satire #Surveillance

Joe Heller editorial cartoon, 08-Oct-2026, titled “SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS MONITOR SOCIETAL ISSUES.” A colourful, seven-panel cartoon satirizes contemporary American controversies through a series of punning surveillance-camera names. At upper left, a solar-powered surveillance camera mounted on a pole introduces the theme. Six illustrated scenes follow:

“FLOCK CAMERA: WATCHES YOUR EVERY MOVE” depicts a couple being observed while lying together in bed.

“HOCK CAMERA: WATCHES AS YOU PAWN STUFF FOR GAS MONEY” shows a worried customer handing over a watch at a pawnshop counter.

“POX CAMERA: WATCHES AS MEASLES SPREADS THROUGH THE ANTI-VAXXERS” portrays three visibly ill children covered in red spots.

“CHALK CAMERA: WATCHES CORNELL UNIVERSITY’S HANDLING OF GAY/RAPE CASE” shows a blackboard bearing the words “PUNISHMENT: WRITE AN ESSAY,” with a hand writing in chalk.

“SHOCK CAMERA: WATCHES THE DEATH PENALTY BOTCHED IN TENN.” depicts a terrified prisoner strapped into an execution chair beneath electrical equipment.

SCHLOCK CAMERA: WATCHES THE REFLECTING POOL REPAIR” shows a worker beside a drained, muddy reflecting pool, with equipment and debris scattered about.

“SQUAWK CAMERA: WATCHES THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE ANNOUNCEMENT” caricatures Donald Trump angrily shouting, fists raised, beneath a speech bubble reading “I SHOULD BE ME!” with stars and agitated lines surrounding him. Through wordplay and caricature, Heller transforms surveillance technology into a satirical observer of public-health failures, institutional responses to sexual misconduct, capital punishment, infrastructure maintenance and Trump's desire for recognition. Heller’s signature and ©2026 appear beneath the surveillance camera at left.

Police searched one license plate database 12 million times, with hundreds of searches flagging protest as a behavior of interest. Without legal limits, AI surveillance can be turned against dissent, write Cato’s Matthew Cavedon and Laura Bondank-Harmon.

Is there a way to block Meta Muse from a web site without blocking all Google Chrome on Linux or running a fingerprinting script?

(Chrome/Linux users, are you getting blocked as a bot in more places now?)

A reporter documenting Flock camera installation was stopped by police after the installer expressed fear of being followed. The irony: cameras tracking public movements, yet the installer fears being photographed in public. #privacy #surveillance

Some of my best results came from customer calls that, by all objective measures, should have been catastrophes. It's just stupid to assume we can measure human connections during a call. However, we can destroy trust and corporate culture with AI.

General Rule:

Someone will always use a technology to do something stupid or evil to another person.

Special Rule:

LLMs are a technology that will allow a few people to do stupid or evil things to a shitload of people.
