California court rules that bees are a type of fish in order to protect them under the state's endangered species act
Whoa… did they just assume their species???
What's their pronoun?
“It has been a source of great pain to me to have met with so many among [my] opponents who had not the liberality to distinguish between political and social opposition; who transferred at once to the person, the hatred they bore to his political opinions.” —Thomas Jefferson (1808)
"California authorities have urged people to recycle water, take shorter showers, and only run dishwashers and washing machines when full, but the messaging has fallen on deaf ears. According to State Water Resources Control Board, average urban water use even rose nearly 19% in March, compared to the same month in 2020."
California is a leader in the concept of distorting reality to fit current desires. I guess it just doesn't occur to them to simply and honestly protect bees as bees for the openly apparent reasons. They seem especially hazy in the biological fields. It's like they smoke a little DMT right before the legislative session or court proceedings.

Wealthy people are turning my neighborhood into a flashy slum. And then they complain about having to wait because service is slow (businesses cannot fill the jobs because working folk can't afford to live here). Sucks.

Makes me wish I was a judge sometimes. "Yes ma'am, you're ordered to pay court costs of $5.2 million for wasting my time."

Testing the proposition that if one tells the lie loud enough, and often enough, it will become true.
I don't see that working out, but I'm sure there will be plenty who fall for it.

I just last week purchased a quarter pound sample of Foiano, an air-cured Brazilian wrapper. Better not blow smoke on my Linux laptop out on the porch.

Facial Recognition Is Out of Control in India
The country’s use of biometric data against activists and “hooligans” paints a grim picture of how the technology is threatening human rights.
" Telangana's IT Secretary stated this in 2019 on the usage of digital footprints: “We have created a best algorithm through which this machine learning capabilities has become so robust that today we have reached a level of almost 96-97 percent accuracy. So if you tell me one person's name I can give his entire digital footprint at about 96 percent accuracy to them... this tool throws up the results in a matter of seconds and the tool also is very useful in doing what is called family tree analysis or relationship analysis.”

As one who worked in unemployment cost control for 25 years, I can tell you that's about the average goof rate anyways.

She's suing because she caught HPV from someone insured by Geico in his car.

I'd like to know under what coverage detail they are holding the insurance company liable.
Don't let the wife know what you spend on guns, ammo or cigars.
Under this logic any woman who gets pregnant in a car can sue for child support? Homeowners? McDonalds?
Anything to avoid a little personal responsibility.
