Larry the cat celebrates 15 years as the British government’s official rodent-catcher and unofficial first feline, a reassuring presence who has served under six prime ministers. Sometimes it seems like they have served under him.

this is absolutely what the guy who greenlighted the ring ad also thought
Facebook plans to put facial recognition in its glasses and they think we’re too stupid to fight back.
Their internal memo: “We will launch during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns.”

that is ridiculous and abusive. they are adults taking part in collective bargaining, not hostages
San Francisco schools will remain closed for a fourth day as the teachers' strike drags on.
The superintendent chided union officials for not staying overnight to work on a deal.
Elsewhere, many hundreds of teachers took to Ocean Beach to form a human banner reading "Strike."

In California, the right-wing tech billionaires behind Trump are funding a gubernatorial candidate named Matt Mahan.
Leading the pack: Joe Lonsdale, the Palantir co-founder who recently said the USA should resume public hangings.

good news everyone, our local supervisor/police spokesman guy says equity concerns are less prevalent today!
San Francisco passed a law in 2019 requiring brick and mortar stores to accept cash, so as to promote “inclusivity.”
Now city leaders are seeking to repeal the rule, citing “out of control” break-ins, counterfeit bills, and over-burdened small businesses.
