Headline: PM moves to tighten gun laws Author: Daniel Lo Surdo Article Text: Prime Minister Anthony Albanese will propose tougher gun laws when he meets with his state and territory counterparts this afternoon. This will includes measures to limit the number of firearms used or licensed by individuals. "People's circumstances can change. People can be radicalized over a period of time. Licenses should not be in perpetuity. And making sure that those checks and balances are in place as well," Albanese said.

snippet from the Wired article above
Why don’t we use blackletter anymore? The answer is literally “Hitler.” Nazi leadership used Fraktur, an archetypal variety of blackletter, as their official typeface. They positioned it as a symbol of German national identity and denounced papers that printed with anything else. As you might imagine, the typeface hasn’t aged well in the post-war period. In just a few years, blackletter went from ordinary to a widespread taboo—the same way the name “Adolf” and the toothbrush mustache have been all but eradicated. The Nazis played a part in this. In 1941, the regime re-characterized Fraktur as *Judenletter, "*Jewish letters,' " and systematically banned it from use. The long history of Jewish writers and printers had tainted the letterforms themselves, they argued, and it was time for Germany to move on. Historians speculate that the reversal had more to do with the logistics of occupying countries reliant on Latin typefaces, but the result was the same. No printed matter of any kind could use Fraktur, for German audiences or abroad. Even blackletter handwriting was banned from being taught in school. Think about that: The government of one of the world's great powers banned a typeface. That is the power of a symbol.

In 1829, Sir Robert Peel established the London Metropolitan Police Force. He became known as the "Father of Modern Policing," and his commissioners established a list of policing principles that remain as crucial and urgent today as they were two centuries ago. They contain three core ideas and nine principles. 9 Policing Principles 1. To prevent crime and disorder, as an alternative to their repression by military force and severity of legal punishment. 2. To recognize always that the power of the police to fulfill their functions and duties is dependent on public approval of their existence, actions and behavior, and on their ability to secure and maintain public respect. 3. To recognize always that to secure and maintain the respect and approval of the public means also the securing of the willing cooperation of the public in the task of securing observance of laws. 4. To recognize always that the extent to which the cooperation of the public can be secured diminishes proportionately the necessity of the use of physical force and compulsion for achieving police objectives. 5. To seek and preserve public favor, not by pandering to public opinion, but by constantly demonstrating absolute impartial service to law, in complete independence of policy, and without regard to the justice or injustice of the substance of individual laws, by ready offering of individual service and friendship to all members of the public without regard to their wealth or social standing, by ready exercise of courtesy and friendly good humor, and by ready offering of individual sacrifice in protecting and preserving life. 6. To use physical force only when the exercise of persuasion, advice and warning is found to be insufficient to obtain public cooperation to an extent necessary to secure observance of law or to restore order, and to use only the minimum degree of physical force which is necessary on any particular occasion for achieving a police objective. 7. To maintain at all times a relationship with the public that gives reality to the historic tradition that the police are the public and that the public are the police, the police being only members of the public who are paid to give full-time attention to duties which are incumbent on every citizen in the interests of community welfare and existence. 8. To recognize always the need for strict adherence to police-executive functions, and to refrain from even seeming to usurp the powers of the judiciary of avenging individuals or the State, and of authoritatively judging guilt and punishing the guilty. 9. To recognize always that the test of police efficiency is the absence of crime and disorder, and not the visible evidence of police action in dealing with them.

Show me a picture on your phone that has your energy, but isn’t a selfie.

It’s a GJÖRA double bed frame with LUROY slats and a firm HAUGESUND mattress.

because I’m extra, here’s a photo of the frame (discontinued 😢) a link to a review of the mattress bc the product was also sadly discontinued

www.mattress-reviews.com/mattress-rev...
Product image of an ikea GJÖRA bed frame. The frame looks kind of like a four-poster bed, but with only the head and foot posts being connected. It is made of untreated birch wood with rounded posts and an open “head board” and “foot board” that consist only of a cross dowel at the tops of each. One of the cross dowels is twice as high as the other, for a total of about six feet from the ground. The mattress base sits higher than most beds with at least 13 inches clearance between the side rails and the floor. I really love my bed so much.

Somewhat grateful to be further north and around less dense urban centres today but also damn

The ingrained response for hiviz as a cyclist also extends to transporting them long distances* with a car, apparently

*300km
A nighttime photograph of my bicycle, a yellow hybrid bike from Canadian Tire (the Toulouse, circa 2016) on a a bike rack attached to the rear hatch of my VW Golf SportWagen. There are Velcro high visibility straps on each wheel, and one across the bars that extend beyond the bike itself. The photo was taken with flash so it emphasizes the high viz components and reflectors on the bicycle as well as the car.
