In one vm…, a caller yells: “Where the hell do you get off letting illegals vote? This is the nation’s capital. You are traitors, traitors to our country.”
Evans said that employees have been encouraged to cover up any DC BOE paraphernalia they may be wearing or holding while outside the office in case someone who opposes #noncitizen voting directs their opinion toward a staffer. DC police spox said in a stmnt that officers would be near polling locations “ensuring #safety for voters”

The Gardaí finally admit what the dogs in the street know. Irish roads are stuffed full of unsafe drivers who follow no rules. The Gardaí are saying cameras are unworkable due to the numbers of drivers they catch.
A system of enforcement that shrugs its shoulders is not worth keeping. Something fundamental needs changing.

Protecting children's safety requires privacy and end-to-end encryption:

Proposed "upload moderation" would fuel the very problem it aims to solve, undermining rather than protecting children's safety.

Something about this seems a bit odd.

Especially since DEI efforts have been cut back or just cut.

Twitch is disbanding its Safety Advisory Council and will replace it with streamers

Tip of the day: Our Earth is struck by lightning eight million times per day and the power of a single strike can shut down electricity for a house, a neighborhood, or more. But there are also other potential causes of power outages, outages that can lead to data loss. Here’s one way to try and minimize potential losses of your data. https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20220503-protecting-data-ups

I took this picture while passing through a parking lot on my lunch today. This is a severe workplace OSHA infraction. This worker is not wearing any fall protection. He was the only person working on this structure at the time of this photo (there were two workers in the parking lot on a lunch break.)
He appeared to be installing some metal flashing along the edge.

In the photo you can see how extremely dangerous his situation is if...

  1. you have an idea how wide an I-beam is, and
  2. you can see that his right foot is at the very edge of the upright beam - it's only as wide as his shoe.
  3. one miss-step, a gust of wind, a distraction, slipping or losing balance while installing material, etc., and he falls to his death.*
  4. you know that falling from a height of 4ft or more, can cause serious injury and even death.

*Falls is the #1 work-related injury in the U.S. according to OSHA.

Should police officers be deployed in schools for safety?
Are the children safe?

Some U.S. school districts that removed police officers in the wake of George Floyd’s death in 2020 are rethinking what safety experts called a “knee-jerk reaction” as fights and incidents with guns that endanger students spark concern.
