Uber Driver Francisco Valadez and Chanti Dixon:. Content Warning. AI-Generated.
Uber Driver Francisco Valadez and Chanti Dixon: Essential Self-Defense Strategies for Ride-Sharing Users This article resonates deeply with me, as I frequently rely on the city bus, which was recently set on fire, and I also take Ubers. In fact, I've even driven for Uber a few times in the Atlanta area. While searching for an article about a recent conversation I had with an Uber driver, I stumbled upon this shocking piece. It highlights that incidents can affect both passengers and drivers. In a world that often celebrates the positive aspects of the sharing economy, it’s unsettling to confront such dark realities. I can’t fathom what drives someone to commit such a horrific act, but I believe we must be better prepared for the unexpected.

Information and Communication Technology Warfare
As a teenager, I was an avid reader of the science fiction genre of novels. I spent my pocket money on books. What I loved most, was the promise of the future greater technology and a promised easier lifestyle. The idea that humans could make robots that were as smart as themselves thrilled me. It was exhilarating. Now, half a century later, I am witnessing similar book concepts manifest themselves increasingly inserting themselves into our mundane world. Let me express my admiration for Isaac Asimov, Jules Vernes, and H.G. Wells. As I grew older, my taste in books changed. I found elements of future worlds, extreme technologies, and gadgets in the writings of authors like James Patterson, who wrote about cyber attacks on police stations, David Rorvik, who introduced the concept of human cloning, the Sunday comic strips featuring Dick Tracy’s equivalent of the Apple Watch and George Orwell’s description of an authoritarian world where fake news was considered the truth and surveillance was as common as family visits.

Ted Bundy
The image of Ted Bundy getting up in the morning and acting like a baboon in front of the mirror seems strange in the context of this movie, which presents the infamous serial killer as the handsome, charming Angel of Death with an affable, easy, thoroughly deceptive, and deadly nature. The movie focuses particularly on his relationship with his much-maligned girlfriend "Lee" (Boti Ann Bliss), presented here as a needy, clueless young woman willing to take Ted's mentally abusive, narcissistic behavior, all the while never suspecting that the man who wants her to "pretend to be dead" while they make love might not be who he appears to be.
