“Taco Resistance” ~ Los Angeles

latacos.jpg

To the strains of psychic and spoken shouts of "sell-out," today local supervisor Gloria Molina launches L.A.'s stormtroopers on loncheras/mobile Mexican restaurants, attempting to put a serious dent in our Southern Californian culture. This attempt to deny healthy marketplace competition and consumer choice of product and price seems damned un-U.S. American to me! That this legislation has politically racist overtones screaming out of it is another component that appears out of step with the true popular opinion of our city. Don't touch our tacos! A few ideas to join the fight back:

    • Yesterday the L.A. Times mentioned a swelling "taco resistance." Get behind it! Make sure you've signed the petition at www.Saveourtacotrucks.org.
    • Moderated by C. Thi Nguyen, Chow Digest Editor at Chowhound.com, Remember the Taco Truck! at Zocalo~ Los Angeles Theater Center on Thursday, May 22nd  @ 7:30PM, hosting "a panel of writers, thinkers, and activists (including Jonathan Gold, Barry Glassner, and Chris Rutherford of SaveourTacotrucks.org) discussing the joys of taco trucks, their place in Los Angeles culture, and the politics behind the new regulations."
    • Support your favorite independent restaurants, be they taco truck, taco restaurant, or another--whoever has the best food and price should have a right to compete for our taste buds and dollars.

Can Anti-Surveillance Makeup Protect Protesters from Facial Recognition Software?

Known as Computer Vision Dazzle, or CV Dazzle, this abstract style of makeup was created by artist and researcher Adam Harvey for his 2010 master's thesis at NYU. While traditional camo is designed as a disruptive pattern meant to hide the wearer from the human eye, CV Dazzle was created to break machine vision systems.  The name comes from “Dazzle,” a type of camouflage on battleships in WWI and WWII that used complex patterns of contrasting geometric shapes to make it difficult for enemies to determine their speed and distance.
