RIP to a poster who enjoyed hip-hop and American basketball.

Not really, no.

Iowa governor's case for large state plane doesn't add up The Iowa State Patrol had a plane with advanced technology before Gov. Reynolds used pandemic relief funds for a Cessna Grand Caravan.

Who's up late?
Gov Kim Reynolds has claimed the Iowa State Patrol needed a large plane for its high-tech equipment.
But I obtained docs showing the ISP had a smaller plane w/advanced tech before gov used pandemic $$ for new Cessna.

ALT text copied and pasted from the linked website: An infographic titled “How To Write Alt Text” featuring a photo of a capybara. Parts of alt text are divided by color, including identify who, expression, description, colour, and interesting features. The finished description reads “A capybara looking relaxed in a hot spa. Yellow yuzu fruits are floating in the water, and one is balanced on the top of the capybara’s head.”

Posting this again because a lot of people said they found it helpful! Guide to ALT text: www.perkins.org/resource/how...

WHO COULD HAVE PREDICTED THAT

Illinois State Police just declared an unlawful assembly. Five minutes to disperse or arrests. The crowd is significantly smaller now, maybe 50 people.

How to get people excited about transit "It will literally be your best selling t-shirt, it will get you so much PR, and if anyone interprets this inappropriately that's a them problem"

“…'Ride the D' is obviously just very popular at the moment due to all the enthusiasm around climbing aboard such a long subway extension that goes deep into new neighborhoods, which gets everyone in LA very excited.”

It’s also a choice to call it an officer “shortage.”

One of these days I hope to see Erika Jayne’s son on a skirmish line at a protest so I can ask him how he flipped his car over in the snow in LA.

"One way we as a nation have managed to 'reduce homelessness' is by defining entire segments of the homeless population out of existence."

I spoke with the Miami Herald about There Is No Place for Us — and about the staggering number of homeless families and individuals who literally don't count.

Robin D. G. Kelley: It’s Not Enough to Abolish ICE — We Have to Abolish the Police “What’s happening now has happened before,” Kelley said, underscoring the anti-Blackness foundational to US fascism.

Premature death at the hands of armed agents of the state is merely a hazard of being Black in America. It’s not enough to “abolish ICE”; we have to abolish the police force and replace it with a radically different form of public safety.

CCPSA said it invited Snelling to participate in tonight's meeting to discuss those concerns.

If your goal is to give your readers full context, you put credit much higher in the piece with a link for reference. This is also a free and easy way to show respect to journalists whose work you (evidently) rely on. Burying this mention deep in the report without a link accomplishes neither.

Reminds me of the Atkins diet people who were like, “bacon is good for you actually!” But it all came across as a way to justify eating tons of bacon.
