3 arrested in Livonia after cops use 'The Grappler' to stop stolen car
Livonia officers deployed net and tether device to ensnare fleeing vehicle on I-96 Thursday.
This is some Wile E. Coyote level stuff right here. If it was your stolen truck, it would definitely be a good news/bad news situation to find your rear axle ripped off but the rest of the truck saved. www.detroitnews.com/story/news/l...

Detroit sports fan, social-media star enters hospice: 'I love you all'
Andy Isaac, behind the @WorldofIsaac account on X, has been battling cancer since he was first diagnosed in 2006.
I've only ever really paid attention to a handful of social media stars. And this guy, a genuinely good guy, is one of them. I will forever remember his "Faturdays" posts to Twitter, where he'd give his unbiased and hilarious video reviews of snack foods, candy, ice cream, whatever. Fuck cancer.

West Texas measles outbreak grows to 58 cases, including some vaccinated people | CNN
The number of measles cases linked to an outbreak in West Texas has grown to 58, according to the Texas Department of State Health Services.

Interesting. I did not know there was a third party doing this. Thankfully, one of my credit card companies lets me generate a virtual number with either a time limit or a credit limit -- my choice. Folks should check their CC company before giving too much info to yet another company.

Not actually part of the #Hallmark Collection. Thank goodness. As a #CjhicagoBears fan, this one stings. Shoutout to @kevinjhardy.bsky.social for the initial share. I'm looking forward to the next one of Matt Eberflus holding an hourglass.

The mainstream media will lose its last grip on relevancy
"The gap between mainstream media readers, people who get most of their news through influencers or partisan social media, and people who barely think about news at all will create a fundamentalβ¦
"Moving forward, we should not be concerned with isolated incorrect facts, but with the deeply-rooted stories that circulate at all levels of culture and shape our points of view," @alicetiara.bsky.social says.

Meta's X competitor Instagram Threads is gaining an improved search interface, the company announced on Monday. The app, which offers a Meta-run
I don't think Search is Threads' problem. Its problem is that it seems to have the same sort of mystery algorithm as the rest of Meta, bent on force-feeding users what it thinks they want (and a whole lot of things it knows they don't want).

#ChicagoBears need to #FireFlus for that debacle. Is Eberflus planning to hang onto that timeout to give as a Christmas gift? WTF? It gets harder every week to be a fan of this team.

Don't know if you're aware, but one of our former co-workers was a cousin to the band's former drummer, I think it was. Not sure that'll get you any pull for a concert date. But it's a fun fact.
