Mulleted man states: "I just liked Star Trek better without all of this touchy-feely subtext, allegory, and diverse representation."
Wise protagonist replies: "Ok, I think I get it now.   You want Star Trek to be like you thought it was when you were too young to really understand Star Trek."

The Library is devastated to learn of the passing of Dolly Parton, a music legend and titan of children's literacy. Her Imagination Library program has earned multiple Library Literacy Awards and, in 2018, she visited us to donate its 100 millionth book to our collection and host a story time. 🦋❤️

Interesting article about the features of Flock from and admin POV. In particular the ability to omit plates from tracking and the possible lack of audit trail around the use of this feature. chazstevens.substack.com/p/the-list-t...

The List That Forgets
A police agency can turn off the alert for one license plate, then turn it back on years later, and its own audit log will show neither. A Florida custodian put that in writing.

I would kill or die for Larry
A small operation in Oregon that hunts truffles with a trained dog has added an unpaid trainee. A cat named Larry accompanies the handler and the truffle dog into the woods every outing, works a patch of ground a little apart from them, and digs with tremendous confidence in places where there is nothing.
The handler says Larry has never found a truffle and shows no sign of understanding the assignment. He does not use scent the way the dog does and he does not respond when the dog makes a find.
He simply digs his own holes nearby and then inspects them. "He thinks he's on the team," the handler said. "He is emphatically not on the team."

An artillery shell fired during 250th anniversary celebration of the Marine Corps at Camp Pendleton on Saturday detonated prematurely over Interstate 5, damaging a California Highway Patrol vehicle on JD Vance's security detail

Dealing with law enforcement can be stressful, so it’s important to know your rights before you’re face-to-face with ICE agents. While there’s never any guarantee that law enforcement officers will follow the law, here’s what they can and can’t legally do to you and what you can legally demand. ⬇️
