Flock ignored multiple requests to take down their cameras after the City of Verona did not renew the contract. So this is where we are at. You can't trust Flock. Dane County needs to take their Flock cameras down.

Reminder: International Women's Day celebrates **women** (ALL women).
By all means, wish the women in your life a happy IWD!
Remember tho that non-binary folks are not women-lite*, and trans men are not women (you may be shocked to hear that they are, in fact, men).

I bet they had to use spells of protection to make their books fireproof, which would have been the first gauntlet for a young wizard. The young wizards that did not have a knack for it probably burned their towers down with those big sleeves, leaving only the wise wizards.

I mean think of all the flammable books and tomes sitting around in those wizard towers. Wizards must have been knocking candles over all the time and burning those towers down.

When I have my bath robe on, I'm constantly knocking things over with these sleeves and getting them wet. Wizards must have been having a rough time with those robes too.

I haven't heard anyone really talking about how the inability for Americans to get software updates for TikTok is going to create a security nightmare for users. "Preventing" the full ban of TikTok in the US and leaving partial infrastructure is leaving users extremely vulnerable to attack.
