WTF LA?! I don’t live in LA, and I don’t foresee any police department in VC thinking this is a good idea, but how long till police everywhere will be required to ask for social media info? It’s like we need to go back to the old days where we kept our online identities separate from our offline lives.

Interesting articles, links, sites, whatever. And my commentary on them.

“2 Black men say they were handcuffed while trying to return a TV. Now they’re suing Walmart.”
The men said a routine trip to the store resulted in police being called on them on suspicion they stole the television. They added that they were placed in handcuffs despite Stewart showing store workers the $300.94 receipt for the Hisense television he bought, according to suit, which names Walmart Inc. as a defendant.
Didn’t believe them even though they had a receipt for the exact item they’re trying to return…… 😐
While the men remained detained, Stewart cried for about an hour, according to the lawsuit. They were eventually freed from the handcuffs after a female employee screamed at them to take the TV and get the “f— out of this store, and never come f—— back,” the filing said.
In one last indignity, the men, according to the lawsuit, were required to sign a “Criminal Trespass Warning,” which guarantees that criminal charges remain on file at Walmart if the men try to return to the store, the lawsuit said.
Apparently, these Walmart employees just don’t know how to admit they screwed up.
Sure hope Steward & Richardson win this. Absolutely ridiculous. 😤

Reddit bans r/NoNewNormal and quarantines 54 “COVID-denial subreddits”
Notice how reddit only banned NoNewNormal for brigading and harrassment and not misinformation? They would have left the community up if said community hadn’t shit-talked and harassed others.
Reddit is still leaving up other misinformation subreddits but quaranting them so it’s harder to find. Still up and active though, which just shows how little they care.
rcduke – Sep 2, 2021 9:19 AMI’m on reddit a lot, but daaayyyumm, it’s like we can’t have nice things anymore. :C
