Take a deep breath.

I shouted for joy when I read this great justice.

"Uber and Lyft to pay $328 million for stealing $ from their drivers"

"Of the incalculable amount of money stolen from drivers by Uber and Lyft through various accounting shenanigans, $328m will be paid back to them..."

" . . in what New York Attorney General Letitia James called the largest wage-theft settlement her office has ever secured."

Applicable EVERYWHERE.

Today we drove to Bellevue, MI to witness the annual fall migration of thousands of Sandhill Cranes. Turn on your sound to listen to their calls, which can be heard up to 2.5 miles away.

These magnificent #birds nearly disappeared a century ago due to overhunting, but populations rebounded & are now stable in MI.

Sandhill Cranes are among the oldest living birds on Earth with a wingspan of up to 6 ft. Aldo Leopold described them as "nobility, won in the march of eons."

The ever-brilliant @Catvalente on #fascists "... do not ever listen to what fascists say about themselves. It’s ALL bullshit. Either a premeditated lie or natural ignorance. They aren’t rule-followers, they’re rule-eaters."

"It is truly astounding how quickly, holistically, and voluntarily Ronald DeSantis transformer-ed himself from the seemingly-inevitable President Damien (what up, Omen III fans) of democratic nightmares to Principal Puddingfingers, smearing his shitty evil custard all over the educational system and uncontrollably red-faced screaming at random kids for wearing outfits he doesn’t like"

That Omen III reference sent me. I almost spilled my water, @Catvalente

I was the victim of an extremely clever card fraud/social engineering hack.

Well, partly a victim since I managed to stop it.

I was called by my bank, as they wanted to “verify some suspect transactions on my account”.

Then things got weird…

NEW: Cellebrite asks law enforcement customers to keep their use of the phone hacking tech "hush hush," according to leaked video.

The company especially doesn't want cops to talk about it in court to protect trade secrets and avoid helping criminals.
