"San Diegans Push Back on Flock ALPR Surveillance"
https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/06/san-diegans-push-back-flock-alpr-surveillance
"ALPRs like Flock’s don’t prevent crime—they just vacuum up data on everyone who drives past. The resulting error-prone dragnet can then chill speech and be weaponized against marginalized groups, like immigrants and those seeking trans or reproductive healthcare.
Despite local and state restrictions barring the sharing of ALPR with federal and out of state agencies, San Diego Police have reportedly disclosed license plate data to federal agencies—including Homeland Security Investigations and Customs and Border Patrol"
It turns out that a pub in Eugene had a D&D-themed dance/rave night called "The Beholder's Ball" last weekend and my son is bummed out that he missed it. I hope they hold another one!

Donald Trump's budget cuts are directly threatening victim support programs like SASS, which provides support for rape victims. In many cases, without sufficient support, rape victims and domestic assault survivors go to the judge and beg them to allow the abuser back into their lives. Frequently, prosecutors have no choice but to drop charges b/c of lack of cooperation. So much for the GOP being tough on crime. https://eugeneweekly.com/2025/04/24/sassing-back/ #Trump #Oregon #Eugene

@ai6yr @douglasvb I have posted this before here. There is a shop here in #Eugene #Oregon that does EV conversions for all sorts of vintage cars including Jag E-types.
Yes, just rip out all the Lucas crap, buy a used Tesla (prices are rock bottom now) and make it an EV. (I actually do not know what tech they use, I doubt they strip old Teslas.)
