Orlandoβs artistic crosswalks boosted safety. Florida ordered them painted over
City data shows the bright, colorful designs reduced pedestrian-vehicle conflicts on busy Orange Avenue.
This #Florida city's data shows the artistic crosswalks that #Florida Gov. Ron DeSastrous ordered painted over actually INCREASED safety. He had his DOT paint them over anyway. www.orlandosentinel.com/2025/08/31/o... via @skylerswisher.bsky.social

A giant hamburger with many fixings. There is a wire grill brush sticking out of the burger. The text reads: Keep sharp objects out of your food. Clean your grill with a nylon brush or ball of aluminum foil.

If we still care about national media, and we are not investing in our local media, we have a problem. Understandably, local media cannot cover all national issues. But they often do, and non-conglomerates deserve everyoneβs financial support.

Opinion | No One Has Ever Defeated Autocracy From the Sidelines
βWhen citizens must think twice about criticizing or opposing the government because they could credibly face government retribution, they no longer live in a full democracy.
By that measure, America has crossed the line into competitive authoritarianism.β

The Federal courthouse should be open to everyone. They should simply say dress your best. Especially for a middle school that houses so many kids from all walks of life. Not everyone has a shirt and tie and women should not be expected to wear skirts.

Nonsense. Everyone cares, and everyone acknowledges our challenges. We just disagree with the solution you choose, which is hurting other people rather than helping yourself, and pretending like there aren't better ways to get help.

In total, Mr Friede has endured more than 200 bites and more than 700 injections of venom he prepared from some of the world's deadliest snakes, including multiple species of mambas, cobras, taipans and kraits⦠to build up his immunity when handling snakes

SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
No. 24A1007
A.A.R.P., ET AL. V. DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, ET AL.
ON APPLICATION FOR INJUNCTION
[April 19, 2025]
JUSTICE ALITO, with whom JUSTICE THOMAS joins, dis-senting.
Shortly after midnight yesterday, the Court hastily and prematurely granted unprecedented emergency relief. Proceeding under the All Writs Act, 28 U.S. C. $1651, the Court ordered "[t]he Government" not to remove a "putative class of detainees" until this Court issues a superseding or-der. 604 U.S. _ (2025). Although the order does not define the "putative class," it appears that the Court means all members of the class that the habeas petitioners sought to have certified, namely, "[a]ll noncitizens in custody in the Northern District of Texas who were, are, or will be subject to the March 2025 Presidential Proclamation entitled Invocation of the Alien Enemies Act Regarding the Invasion of the United States by Tren De Aragua' and/or its imple-mentation."* Motion for Class Certification in No. 1:25-cv-59 (ND Tex., Apr. 16, 2025), ECF Doc. 3, p. 1. And although the Court does not specify what it means by "[t]he Govern-ment," it appears that the term is intended to embrace all the named defendants, including the President. Cf. Fed.
Rule Civ. Proc. 65(d)(2).
NEW: Alito issues his dissent, complaining, "Shortly after midnight yesterday, the Court hastily and prematurely granted unprecedented emergency relief." He then gives a bullet-point list of his opposition. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...
