A police spokesperson said Monday that the body camera video would not be released until the cases are resolved.

That could take years! That’s unacceptable.

Man sues Macy’s, saying false facial recognition match led to jail assault (www.washingtonpost.com)

Retailers increasingly are using facial recognition software to patrol their stores for shoplifters and other unwanted customers. But the technology’s accuracy is highly dependent on technical factors — the cameras’ video quality, a store’s lighting, the size of its face database — and a mismatch can lead to dangerous...

Yeah, prison rape shouldn’t exist.

Impossible for a non-Islamic state to invade Saudi Arabia. There would be a profound religious war. The crown’s whole legitimacy comes from them protecting Mecca.

Right. If there’s a criminal, ask them to come out.

Some of the taxes are “voluntary,” meaning people are buying cigarettes, lottery, alcohol, (above average) gasoline etc.

If you and Bezos each buy a pack of cigarettes, your “tax rate” is higher. The poorest people can sometimes lower their tax rate significantly.

Kinda sounds like daesh philosophy.

However he seems to have started believing his own schtick that he’s a special golden boy whose farts smell of roses, and here we are now.

Yeah, that’s the problem. Honestly, a lot of people would do this. That’s why corporations are supposed to have checks and balances.

I appreciate the effort, but the nationwide infant mortality rate is lead by Republican states.

Lately I try to get people to use Chrome’s built-it password manager. It’s simple and it works across platforms.

Ibex0 ,

That’s what I’m getting at. It’s an upgrade for most users and certainly novices. I thought I was being cleaver with a password manager and they got hacked twice (you know who).

Russia announced it had deployed, to Ukraine, its best new artillery-detecting radar. Hours later, the Ukrainians blew it up—with artillery. (www.forbes.com)

It would be better if Ukraine was regaining territory.

‘Incompetent dumpster fire’: Michigan GOP rocked by financial turmoil and infighting (www.cnn.com)

The Mackinac Republican Leadership Conference often lures a who’s who of GOP power players to Michigan. Wealthy donors shake hands with presidential candidates, who give rousing speeches to packed audiences in hopes of winning the conference’s straw poll....

Once the GOP has completely self-destructed

They’re currently favored to win the WH and Senate. They already control the House and SCOTUS.

Self destruction has been predicted since Obama won in 2008, but they’re doing pretty well.

Yup, no paywalls on right-wing garbage.

Sure, agreed, but what’s his plan to fix this? Where’s the progress? I see plenty of Qanon and bigots (and whatever you don’t like) stinking up the place.

Partly agree, but, like, anybody acting with a modicum of seriousness could do better. Of course it will never be perfect, or even great, but improvement is possible.

Though Smith posted a video of his brief interaction with the aggressors, commenters on X (formerly Twitter) noted that the video didn’t feature the n-word and mocked Smith his membership in an anti-gay political party.

Without proof or corroborating witnesses, he’ll be called a Jussie.

I’m seriously concerned about my car not starting or turning off while on driving. Think about that Maui wildfire, what if your bac was just over the limit? Do you deserve a death sentence because your car won’t start?

And any system that can disable your car can be hacked or abused by the government.

Heck yeah, I’d support 25 years. We could be jamming to Nirvana and Tupac royalty free. Instead, we only just got Happy Birthday.

It’s wild that you can bring these lawsuits 20 years later. How is he supposed to defend himself when the Jane Doe only needs a preponderance of evidence? How can he produce an alibi after so long? Is there corroboration? I don’t know how I feel about these super-old lawsuits.

I’m fine with incarcerated felons not voting. But they should have a pathway to voting when they’re released. Maybe immediately upon release, or after probation. Something.

Emails Reveal How a Hospital Bowed to Political Pressure to Stop Treating Trans Teens (www.propublica.org)

The Medical University of South Carolina initially said it wouldn’t be affected by a law banning use of state funds for treatment “furthering the gender transition” of children under 16. Months later, it cut off that care to all trans minors....

The hospital was not; its pediatric transgender patients did not receive hormone therapy before puberty, nor does it offer surgical options to minors.

Yo, puberty is still pretty young; late elementary school or early middle school.
