Anchorage Alaska police won't release bodycam video of 3 shootings. It's creating a fight over transparency
  • We are investigating the footage internally > we have found no fault in our internal investigation > no you can’t see the footage

    Interesting that they only release bodycam footage when it supports their narrative. Almost like having them wear cams in the first place was a PR move.

  • Harsh, but true
  • “’Non-breeding’ plumage can mean any plumage that is not the plumage birds have moulted into specifically for the breeding season. (Some birds only moult once a year so at breeding time, their plumage is the same as the rest of the year, others have an additional moult early Spring into smarter feathers). So ‘non-breeding’ can mean an adult in winter plumage or an immature bird that has not yet reached maturity but as applied to birds that normally moult twice a year. Adult Birds moult out of their breeding plumage from around July onwards into a winter plumage. Usually it’s a lot more drab and less colourful than breeding plumage.” -Deb Burhinus

    Looks like they get into more detail but that was the first thing I found.

  • People will be telling his story for generations
  • IIRC the drone operator had permission from the event for the shot and the spear thrower did it as a joke because he assumed he’d miss and nobody had any hard feelings because of how impressive it was.

  • Gig companies spent $224 million to write their own labor law. The state Supreme Court could throw it out
  • The weasel words these companies use to describe pay like “active hours”, “utilized hours” etc are such horseshit. The fact that they paid $200 million to push this in the first place is all you need to know. I guarantee they wouldn’t spend $200,000,000.00 to improve working conditions or customer experience.

  • Nobody wants to work anymore!
  • Thank you for fostering, that’s hard work. For what it’s worth the only people making good money in veterinary medicine are management and the veterinarians (and that can vary). Vet techs, assistants, receptionists, and kennel techs generally all make shit.

  • Having teeth extracted is unlikely to affect how he eats. He is much more uncomfortable having teeth affected by infection or periodontal disease. Cats don’t do much chewing in the first place. I have known toothless cats that still eat dry food.

  • Hey OP, thanks for taking him to see a doctor. Your local vet should charge A LOT less for treatment than an emergency clinic would. My advice as someone who works at a general practice is to be completely honest about what you can afford. There’s a wide spectrum of care from full anesthesia and wound cleaning to more conservative management with medications and the vet can discuss what the best options are. I really feel for you and the stress you must be feeling right now.

  • Animal control services in Atlanta suspended as city and county officials snipe over contract
  • Reminder not to approach animals like raccoons when they are behaving oddly as they may have rabies. If you are scratched or bitten by any unvaccinated animal you need to seek immediate medical attention or there’s a chance you will die.
