A rare bit of good news on the LEA front: the LAPD is banning the public display of the 'thin blue line flag' because it has been co-opted by right-wingers and fascists. (I've been telling people for years that it's a shame this symbol that means so much to LEOs was stolen by racists and authoritarians. Not sorry to see it hidden.)

LAPD ban of 'thin blue line' flags is latest salvo in culture war

LAPD Chief Michel Moore says the flag's original meaning, police support, has been "hijacked" by extremist groups.

It’s a new year - don’t forget to check and rotate through your emergency supplies - food, stored water, medicine, etc 👍

[9 AM] Snow from our upcoming storm is expected to be quite heavy! Heavy snow = tough to shovel. Check out some tips below on how to best manage snow removal over the next few days.

A southward shift in the forecast storm track prompted an increase in anticipated snowfall through tomorrow evening! The high elevations along the Rte 2 corridor & in the Berks will likely see between 6-8 inches of snow. Pockets of up to 10" possible across the highest terrain.

Can't figure how to reply, favorite, and boost with https://handy.social using NVDA for #a11y and Firefox browser. Next time I'm on the other machine, I'll try with orca and Firefox.

humans are at the top of the food chain because of technology. for example these binoculars allow me to spy on squirrels and steal their nuts with relative ease
