you know what's cheaper and safer than a ring camera? a fake camera. I've had one since my last porch theft three years ago and it even fooled the eye of a cop trying to get me to snitch on my neighbors. you can't subpoena a recording that doesnt exist.

It's Bl*ck History Month in Florida, even at H*CUs.
It is now #000000 History Month in Florida since the word “Black” triggers the racists down there. Hopefully they’re too dumb to understand hex code.
A Florida A&M University law student says the school told her to remove the word 'Black' from a Black History Month event flyer. The school says it is in full compliance with state law

Documents show RFK Jr lied to Congress about his agenda in Samoa—he did indeed go to spread anti-scientific doubts about vaccines. He was ultimately successful in getting an outbreak going there that killed 83 people, mostly babies and young children.
RFK Jr said during his Senate confirmation hearings that his trip to Samoa in 2019 ahead of a devastating measles outbreak had “nothing to do with vaccines." Documents obtained by @us.theguardian.com and @apnews.com undermine that testimony. Details here, by me and @aliswenson.bsky.social ⬇️

And then all these kickoff classic type games will start playing in Week -1.
The idea of starting the CFB season in "Week 0" is gaining traction, says Georgia's AD, who co-chairs an NCAA committee on the calendar.

We go back to one-bye seasons this year, and schedule-makers tell me they much prefer 14 weeks to play 12 games. www.nytimes.com/athletic/702...

Every time I see this, I have to comment that my middle school biology teacher was one of the NC A&T students who participated in later protests. (He wasn't one of the first four, but more students participated in sit-ins at the counter later.)
Feb. 1, 1960, 4 NC A&T students sat-in at the “whites only” counter at Woolworths in Greensboro. Their defiance ignited a movement led to the birth of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee.

Young people fuel movements. It is inspiring to see that today they still do.
