So the student never filed a complaint, they were concerned about the ordering, not the inclusion of the slogan, and this is class on social justice?

Last night, Congress passed a government funding bill that included language to ban the entire hemp cannabinoid industry.

Comment, like, and share this post to let the world know you are with us and oppose the ban on hemp!

Toured an elementary school today and the plant operator is named Mr. Johnson, so that bodes well. Also, the JCPS start times are like sunrise or lunchtime.

people will use this to abuse others and the way to deal with that issue is to not collect thisdata at all, not to keep it inaccessible to anyone other than police
New: A judge in Washington has ruled images from Flock surveillance cameras are public records and that anyone can request them. Highlights the pervasiveness of this tech and just how much surveillance is being done. Very notable ruling

Anyone had a package delivered by Veho? Something I ordered is coming through them and it’s been impossible to get details. They say a 2-day delivery shipped on the 15th will arrive today. It’s in Indy. And it seems like they rely on Uber-like delivery drivers. No way.

New: Apple banned an app that simply archived videos of ICE abuses. Rather than other apps that record ICE official's real-time location, Eyes Up is to "preserve evidence until it can be used in court." Videos from TikTok etc. Every submission manually reviewed

To park at the Bristol, you now need to scan a QR code at the hostess stand and enter your license plate info. I’m sure this will go over well with their older demographic.

Anyone in Louisville know where to get the Covid vax for kids? CVS Indiana works for adults, but not young kids. Pediatrician’s office said they don’t have it and I can try calling around. Not a very helpful response.

Is it 2431 yet
I've seen this on Bluesky and had to try it myself. The image below was the response to the prompt: "Show me a diagram of the US presidents since Herbert Hoover, with their names and years in office under their photos" Bravo, OpenAI, bravo.
