Officer 2: “Get out of here!”
The confusion is not surprising. The shooting officer had his phone out too.
This deserves a clear and fair investigation

If there’s no difference between upholding the Constitution and attacking it, then there’s no honor in service.

I have had enough. I deleted my Backblaze account. Their pricing seems to rise unrealistically over time. Cloud storage should be getting less expensive per byte over time, or at least stay stable. @Backblaze has slowly cranked the cost over the years. Overpriced security is still overpriced.

This sudden freeze in federal funding is so sweeping that it could cause widespread harm across our state—delaying disaster recovery, undercutting law enforcement, and affecting children and veterans. It violates constitutional power over federal spending, and I’m taking legal action to stop it.

I moved out of Los Angeles just over three years ago, but I have been watching the news of the firestorm for three days and feel overwhelmed and gutted for the people who have lost their loved ones, homes, and memories. And neighborhoods are still burning this morning.

Dec 29th: a few days below freezing so far, but it is warm again today … and the honey bees in the backyard are still finding pollen. Small joys of beekeeping.

Thankfully we live on that planet where the Cartesian coordinate system won, so yay for box shapes.
Which is weird since our round planet spinning around our round star spinning around our galactic blackhole would be better represented in spherical coordinates. But math.

This is infuriating, and in a non-bizarro world her staff would be investigated by Congress. This is an immense screw-you to the spirit of the Constitution at the very least.
A U.S. Congresswoman disappeared for the last six months of her term. Nobody noticed.
Turns out she's in a memory care unit, & her staff (and apparently other people?) covered it up (though she was somehow propped up for an event a month ago?)

In 2023, UnitedHealthcare reported $22 billion in profits. They also lead the field in claim denials. And they’re not alone.
Health insurance companies are in the business of denying our healthcare. They profit off the suffering of you and your loved ones. Prove me wrong!

More infants died in the US after Roe v Wade overturned. A Texas study found infant mortality rates up to 7% higher in the 18 months after the state’s six-week abortion ban went into effect in 2021: equivalent to an average of 247 more deaths.
