Flock Tracked This Journalist for Days. Plus, MN's High-Stakes Primary Season, and Free Fishing Lessons
About this episode
The episode discusses an automotive journalist's experience with AI surveillance, Minnesota's primary elections, and local events including free fishing lessons.
A routine errand turned into a police stop for automotive journalist Joel Feder, who was wrongly flagged as a car thief by an AI-powered license plate surveillance network. He joins us to break down how a typo in a national database cascaded into four squad cars boxing him in at a Kohl's parking lot. Then, contributor Winter Keefer walks us through Minnesota's high-stakes primary season, from the governor's race and Trump's endorsement of Mike Lindell to the Flanagan-Craig Senate showdown. Plus, we've got your week planned: a Bernie Sanders rally at First Ave, free fishing lessons at Lake Phalen, the Twin Cities Tattoo Festival, and more.
