In Iowa, Prosecutors Want to Bring Back Court Fees as Bargaining Chips - Bolts Iowa's high court recently ended the practice of making defendants pay fees for charges that get dismissed. Prosecutors are backing legislation to undo the court’s ruling so they can keep using fees a...

3️⃣ Iowa prosecutors have gotten used to a pretty shocking practice: pressuring defendants to plead guilty or else risk suffering major financial harm.

The Supreme Court struck down but now prosecutors and some lawmakers want to bring it back, @laurengill.bsky.social reports:

Meta is putting a "Name Tag" feature in Ray-Bans - facial recognition through the glasses' camera. You look at someone, AI tells you who they are.

Digital image of a serigraph, 9 Barn Owl faces peeking out of a heart-shaped opening in a red wall with straw pieces sticking out, in Harper's signature "minimal realism" style Put a fancy lace border around these barn owls and you could send them to your sweetie on February 14. “Be mine!” you could say, “I love you with all my hearts!” Or when you’re ready to pop the question: “Let’s owlope.” And on your anniversary: “You’re still as owlluring as ever.” For Flag Day: “I pledge owllegiance.” Then there’s Cowlumbus Day and Owlection Day. And Christmas! “Owlleluia.” Oops, almost forgot Howloween. Maybe we’d better start listing them — owlphabetically. — Charley Harper

The absurd hyperlocal drama I am in invested in: an LA bagel truck chain called (help) Yeastie Boys did a collaboration with the New York Post’s new California branch. Painted trucks red, handed out mock papers. You’re never gonna believe this but bagel truck patrons aren’t Murdoch fans, turns out

CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

Thank you. My lord. Too many rubes (or worse, people playing rube) ignoring this shit. It's no different than your "AI microwave" that for some reason needs to be attached to your wifi. Everything is selling/using your data and giving you zippo in return.

photo of the tapestry hanging on display at museum long vertical composition “Norwegian Revival In the latter part of the 19th century, Norway's artists, writers, composers, and historians looked to their country's medieval past to assert their desire for political independence. Traditional folk tales and Norse mythology inspired a generation of artists to adapt fantastical motifs for silver, furniture, tapestries, and even architecture. Medieval stave churches-timber structures once common in Norway and increasingly rare after the 16th century-often included intricate decoration with interlaced patterns and dragon motifs. These sources inspired a new style that emerged in the 1890s, known as Dragon Style. Lars Kinsarvik, a wood carver and furniture maker, became the style's leading proponent. Similarly, Norwegian painter Gerhard Munthe helped to formulate what he termed a "Norwegian national style,' a modern aesthetic rooted in traditional rural culture. Munthe explored folk tales and mythology in a distinctively bold abstract style that incorporated the influences of Japanese art and European Art Nouveau with inspiration from medieval tapestries and colorful hand-painted folk art. In the 1890s, he began to produce tapestry designs (woven by his wife Sigrun Sandberg and female artisans at Trondheim's Art Weaving School), contributing to a textile renaissance in Norway. His tapestries, critically acclaimed at the 1900 Paris World's Fair, shaped Norway's national identity abroad in the years leading up to its independence in 1905.”

In 1854, after watching the federal government deploy 2000 federal troops and spend $40,000 sending Anthony Burns back into slavery, Boston's Amos Adams Lawrence said “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.”

They're gonna make both Yuma and Ilia sit through five hours of interviews where they ask what went on and how they lost the gold, instead of letting them go sit by themselves and rehydrate and have a little cry.

Outrageous.
