Police slam their SUV into an #LGBTQ bar in St Louis, Missouri, Dec 18.

They then arrest the co-owner for felony assault but haven’t released body cam footage. Bystander video shows no assault.

Now they are threatening to condemn the building because it’s damaged.

Israel has destroyed all the universities in Gaza. Every single one of them. That is a war crime, pure and simple. It’s the obliteration of education and Palestinian future. Every university in the world should be outraged.

Remember when there was a debate over whether hospitals were being bombed? 100 days later, NONE of Gaza’s 36 hospitals are fully functional, according to the World Health Organization.

After the death of my previous bill to provide for a right to inspect source code of software used to generate evidence in criminal cases, I thought I'd just give up on it, but this case is convincing me to give it another try once the next filing period comes around...

AT&T is sending out letters warning they want to kill virtually all landlines (and perhaps related data circuits where fiber is unavailable) across essentially their entire coverage area throughout California. This would have devastating effects. Related CPUC meetings will be taking place through March.

Landlines provide crucial services for individuals, businesses, and other organizations in a wide variety of situations -- not just emergencies when cellular and Internet service tends to rapidly fail, but also for vast numbers of people in areas with poor, unreliable, or in many cases (even in large sections of major cities!) NO cell service, NO fiber, etc.

Landlines often provide the only available communication in a wide variety of security and safety situations, from elevators to interior spaces of all sorts where cell service simply doesn't work.

Many disabled and other persons have crucial equipment that depends on landlines. Often they are not tech-savvy and do not have friends or relatives to help them through forced technology changes.

AT&T has been shirking its public safety responsibilities for years, while still leveraging their effective monopoly on services in so many areas.

Their new effort must be stopped. I'll have much more to say about this as the situation progresses.

New COVID wastewater updates from CDC and Biobot suggest that we just reached the peak of this wave.

Every state that is reporting has high or very high COVID levels.

Reminder: viruses don't magically vanish, it will take weeks for levels to come down. Keep taking precautions.

Also, fans of the amazing Jonathan concept modeling by @NanoRaptor of Apple's original design prototype or just those aesthetic "what ifs" in retro computing may enjoy the homage to it on the Prompt website done by Panic's relentlessly-talented team!
