In line at a Toys R Us that has everything at 50% off. Nobody is smiling, no one makes eye contact, and the shelves are bare. A small toddler is in the LEGO aisle eating a human foot.

A LEARNING OPPORTUNITY
The Defense Department’s Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Program has demonstrated the Radio Frequency Vehicle Stopper, an experimental "direct energy weapon" that causes car and boats' electronic engine control units to enter into an endless cycle of rebooting, immobilizing the vehicles until the weapon is switched off.
It is amazing...relatively cheap and non-lethal.

Simone Giertz, a roboticist/satirist/artist/youtuber, has announced that she has a brain tumor the size of a golf-ball behind one of her eyes. It is operable but she could experience longterm vision-loss, paralysis, or cognitive impairment.
This is a really sad video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpa4kp4lK60
I really liked her work and posted it often.

The National Memorial for Peace and Justice, opening Thursday in Montgomery, Alabama, is dedicated to victims of white supremacy and lynching. An undertaking never before seen in the country.
Powerful image.
Hundreds of jars of soil from the sites of documented lynchings, collected by families of victims or community volunteers, are on display at the museum.
The people who say, "Why can't we just forget and move on?" never were on the losing end of that stick.

A 7-Eleven in California has found a way to keep people from panhandling and loitering outside the store. The owner of the franchise said his customers tell him they feel safer since he started blasting symphonies and occasional operas over outdoor speakers. “Once the music started, the riffraff left."

I just hope she did it without ingested chemicals.

A+ on today's blog.
Especially the posts re Simone Giertz and the memorial in Alabama-both very thought provoking.
