And as always, lurkers are more than welcome and anonymous follows are on.

"A handful of cities across the U.S. have ditched Flock’s automatic license plate reader (ALPR) cameras and immediately replaced them with equivalent systems from law enforcement contracting giant Axon, according to local media reports and government documents from around the country. Axon, for example, advertises AI-powered cameras that attach to an existing streetlamp and are designed to completely blend in with their surroundings, and also collects license plate data with cameras installed inside police officers’ patrol vehicles.
The switch to Axon, which is not yet widespread but appears to be increasing as people oppose Flock, signals what might come next for the nationwide conversation around ALPR cameras: instead of doing away with the cameras entirely — which 404 Media has linked to ICE, the tracking of a woman who self-administered an abortion, and rampant abuse by cops stalking their exes — some cities may enter contracts with another company which has faced less scrutiny and backlash.
In February, Syracuse lawmakers voted 7-1 to approve a license plate reader contract between the Syracuse Police Department and Axon, Central Current reported. That came after the department used Flock cameras starting in summer 2024, the outlet added.
In March, the Denver, Colorado, city council voted 7-6 to replace the city’s Flock cameras with Axon ones, Denver7 reported. The one-year contract was for 50 ALPR cameras, which is less than half of the total Flock cameras, the outlet added."

#WordPress#a11y#accessibility - we must pressure this guy. Being the leader of most used CMS into the whole web, he feels to treat whole community like rag dolls. And accessibility team, in this case. I just reminded him that everyone is temporarily able, being ableist is a comfort no one should afford. Now let's wait, he could even decide to ban me from WordPress accounts, my comment is in moderation queue and I bet it'll never pass. But if it does, I recommend - maximum pressure to this man. For me, he should have resigned at least 2 years ago. But it's another story.
The American Dream once came with an actual finish line. For much of the 1950s and 1960s, the script was simple enough for a child to understand. You worked hard, stayed loyal to your employer, and bought a modest home. Then, somewhere around 65, you retired with enough dignity to enjoy your remaining years. Retirement was the final reward for showing up, day after day, year after year. That promise has been dismantled piece by piece, transforming the American Dream into a cruel form of comedy where the joke is always on the worker.

Someone I follow here on #Mastodon recently contacted the church where our parish meets, questioning my legitimacy as a bishop and suggesting I am "weird." This isn't the first time something like this has happened, and I doubt it will be the last.
I want to be honest about what's underneath it: I have refused to stay quiet about the dangers of Christian nationalism, and I have refused to soften my public health advocacy around COVID. For some people, that alone is enough to make me a target. I am also queer and an Old Catholic bishop, which for a certain kind of critic is reason enough on its own.
I understand people have questions. I would rather answer them directly than let rumor do the talking:
* National Church: https://myocci.org — I'm listed there as Presiding Bishop. * My local parish: https://oursaintfrancis.org — we meet at 557 Greene Street, Augusta, Georgia, hosted by MCC of Our Redeemer, to whom I'm deeply grateful. * Convergent Streams Magazine: https://convergentstreams.org — a publication I founded and edit. * Independent Sacramental Movement Database: https://independentmovement.org — another place you can verify my standing.
I'd rather be transparent than defensive. If anyone has real questions, my door is open.
