Interesting argument that social media encourages extremism because people are arguing themselves into extreme positions they didn't know they held until they wrote them down, and then find themselves backing up these positions rather than publicly questioning them.

He Called 311 on the Police. They Called Back Making Dolphin Sounds. NYT

On May 16, 2021, the officer used his department-issued phone and left a voice mail of dolphin noises, according to the records. Nine days later, he escalated the harassment, adding seal barks and the bleating of sheep.

The six messages that Officer Sullivan left between March 2, 2021, and Jan. 24, 2022, came to light after the city’s Department of Investigation began looking into retaliation by the police against people who had complained about illegal parking. Streetsblog, an online news organization, had been publishing stories about the allegations, including one that quoted Mr. Vogel.

What's a biker bucket? Some kind of impromptu saddlebag?

A bucket with ice and 5 long neck beers in it while the 6th is in your hand (six pack). You could carry them outside and up and down 6th Street in Austin. Just return the bucket to The Black Cat (bar) after the long necks are gone.

Dozens of San Fernando Valley white supremacist gang members charged in federal indictment, DOJ says

Federal prosecutors said 42 members and associates of a San Fernando Valley white supremacist gang were arrested and indicted.

abc7.com

Forty-two members of what prosecutors call a San Fernando Valley-based white supremacist gang have been arrested in connection with a federal indictment unsealed Wednesday alleging a years-long criminal operation that included drug trafficking, weapons violations and COVID-19 and loan fraud.

A total of 68 defendants are named in the 76-count indictment, which alleges offenses including conspiracy to violate the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, conspiracy to distribute controlled substances, distribution of controlled substances, bank fraud, conspiracy to commit bank fraud, aggravated identity theft, possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime and unlawful possession of a firearm and ammunition by a felon.

The gang's "violent white-supremacist ideology and wide-ranging criminal activity pose a grave menace to our community," U.S. Attorney Martin Estrada said in a statement announcing the indictment. "By allegedly engaging in everything from drug-trafficking to firearms offenses to identity theft to COVID fraud, and through their alliance with a neo-Nazi prison gang, the (gang is) a destructive force. In prosecuting the members of the ... criminal organization, our office is carrying out its mission to protect the public from the most dangerous threats."

During the investigation, law enforcement seized "large quantities of illegal firearms, and dozens of pounds of fentanyl, methamphetamine, and heroin," prosecutors said.

Dozens of pounds of fentanyl...

The new bathroom windows, at Emory H Markle Middle School in Hanover, will not allow people to see into stalls

The school district couldn't afford the mirrors for that during this round of funding.
