For those of you who aren't aware: there is a petition on change.org, to face what I believe may be the most important challenge of our generation. I'm talking, of course, about getting Lightning McQueen Crocs made in adult sizes. If you haven't already signed, please head to chng.it/2zrwG8wCh8 and do your part!

A very interesting take on Taylor Swift's recent rerecording and release of her album, Fearless; the value, scarcity, and power of influence, of talented artists; and their relation to the value of resources with no inherent value; ie. blockchains(BitCoin, NFTs, etc.), gold. A great read, for anyone interested.

police violence against Black people, Minnesota 

cops shot and killed Daunte Wright, a young Black man as he was driving away from them. This happened in Brooklyn Center, MN, which is about a fifteen minute drive from where George Floyd was murdered.

this system cannot be reformed, because it is working as its designers intended.

Police violence 

Minneapolis rioted last night after cops shot and killed Daunte Wright -- a Black man -- at a traffic stop.

Posting this because I haven't seen anyone else here yet.

I don't really have words.

Given the long history of police retribution against people exercising their First Amendment right to record interactions with authorities, a U.S. court upholds the ability of the public to secretly record police encounters. eff.org/deeplinks/2021/04/firs
