A bunch of police officers in #SF area arrested in an #FBI raid today #ACAB
The investigation began as a narrow probe into officers who cheated on college tests to obtain raises. This investigation opened a “Pandora’s box” of unethical & potentially criminal behavior among officers.
The early morning raid came after a federal grand jury handed down an indictment containing a wide range of charges against officers.

SEC Chairman Gensler expects the US will end up with two or three foundational #AI models, making a #FinancialCrash more likely because when one model or data set becomes central, it increases “herding” behavior, meaning that everyone will rely on the same information and respond similarly.
“This technology will be the center of future crises, future financial crises,” Gensler said. “It has to do with this powerful set of economics around scale and networks.”

Slate takes a dive into #HeatPumps, incentives/rebates, and most importantly what about people who rent their homes and apartment dwellers.

Far too often this huge segment of the population is ignored when people come up with their technological solutions to #ClimateChange like EVs.
Many people have to park on the street and can't run cables to their cars. These same folks can't make structural changes to their rental unit. #ClimateJustice

Musk is basically having a garage sale for rich people (also known as an #auction) to clear out all that bird stuff the former owners collected in the offices he can't seem to afford rent on.
He is hoping to kill two birds with one stone - so to speak, by requiring the winner to acquire the removal permits he is incapable of.
“Bird is still mounted on the side of the building. Buyer is responsible for hiring an SF Licensed Company with appropriate Permits.”😂

New study calculates that about 59% of species on Earth rely on #soil for one or more stages of their life. That figure is a steep change from the only previous general estimate of about a quarter of all animals.
“We’re starting to realize that we’ve really messed up our soils at a global scale.” says one of the study's authors.

#[0] all my bots are utilitarian and thus regional like the various NWS regions. I kinda wish I could just nominate #[1]'s whole local timeline feed https://m.ai6yr.org/public/local
But since we need to pick just one, #[2] covers the whole US. Anytime the Emergency Alert System is activated for a shelter in place, evacuation, or severe weather, EASWatcher is on the case.
