‘Reverse Goldilocks’: Black bear enters Ucluelet home through dog door Ucluelet resident Brandon Halvorson was on vacation when a black bear popped off the plastic cover to his dog door, squeezed through the hole and ate $500 worth of freezer food – plus about an ounce of weed.

Portfolio update : The Mirror of Pride
"She's been following me for several days; I only see her at dusk. She always stays about ten paces away. When I confront her, she claims to be my shadow. I then asked her if I was her light. She replied that I was confusing my pride with her patience."

Why you might not know that 2024 was America's safest year since the 1960s An overwhelming majority of Americans, 64 percent, believe that crime increased across the country in 2024, according to a Gallup survey conducted late last year.

1. This week, the FBI released its comprehensive crime report for 2024, which revealed that both VIOLENT CRIME and PROPERTY CRIME reached their LOWEST LEVELS SINCE THE 1960s

This a massive story. But you might not have heard about it, even if you follow the news closely.

Here's why.

It cannot be said enough, Buttigieg has spent his entire time on the national stage wrapping himself in the rainbow flag and trying to play like he was LGBTQ Obama.

And the MOMENT he decided that image was politically disadvantageous, he yanked out the T and stomped on it

Silicon Valley Godzilla vs. Wall Street Mothra The only two sectors thriving in Trump’s economy are increasingly sparring with each other.

Only two industries in America are thriving: Big Banks and Big Tech. And they both appear to want only one industry in America to thrive. So they're taking each other on in a series of regulatory fights. From me:

Not only do I want to see the next Democratic administration stop giving covering fire for Israel via security council votes, I want to see America to sign up to international law, and prosecute American citizens for serving in the IDF and committing war crimes. Which is what the IDF does everyday.

I think this is more or less what Ingrid Robeyns noted in her book Limitarianism; there is functionally 0 reason to allow anyone to put together 10 million dollars or more.

Kind of a haunting precedent that America’s dumbest newspeople are going “yeah sure I believed in a deepfake saying things you never said but the deepfake did sound like you so really it’s your problem”

‘A million calls an hour’: Israel relying on Microsoft cloud for expansive surveillance of Palestinians Revealed: The Israeli military undertook an ambitious project to store a giant trove of Palestinians’ phone calls on Microsoft’s servers in Europe

Israel is using Microsoft Azure to store recordings of every phone call made by Palestinians in the occupied territories, then using AI to analyze the contents and select targets. Microsoft is (dubiously) claiming ignorance.

The Trump Administration Is Promoting Its Anti-Trans Agenda Globally at the United Nations U.S. delegates have objected to use of the word “gender” in U.N. documents during forums on topics as varied as women’s rights, science and technology, global health, toxic pollution and chemical wast...

At a United Nations meeting on pollution, the U.S. delegate said the U.S. has a "national position" on gender.

The position leaves no room for the existence of transgender, nonbinary and intersex people, who face discrimination around the world.

From a report today on @npr.org: People held at Alligator Auschwitz have no legal path out. ICE says they're held on state charges, so Federal immigration judges can't hear cases for bond or anything else. The state hasn't charged them, so state judges can't hear the case because there's no case. 1/

ICE Raids Broke Los Angeles’ Economy. Shouldn’t ICE Pay for That? The economic impact of the immigration crackdown is quantifiable, and could be written down and sent to Washington as a demand for payment.

The economy in Los Angeles and California is depressed. 3.1% of the state's workforce stayed home in June. ICE raids are the clear culprit; some businesses say it's worse than COVID.
Isn't ICE responsible for that? And shouldn't they pay for the damage? A provocation from me:
