This is crazy. When I was young my friends and I went to the library a lot. We would read magazines and play tag as well as work on school projects. Banning children from a library is insane.

AP's move is a little self-serving as smaller news orgs are likely to use AP's services (as well as Reuters').
HOWEVER, I think this is a good thing as AP and Reuters' normally provide news based on facts written by real people.
A few companies are buying up TV stations, newspapers, and radio stations and presenting opinion as news. Sinclair's TV news is one example.
TIL rabies and drunkenness have similar signs.
Maybe some of the people I've met really were sick on the head and not just drunk.

It does not prevent people from voting.
It may, however, amplify distortions of the truth or bold-face lies.
With regards to AIPAC it amplifies the voice of a group that is ONLY concerned with the advancement of Israeli interests.
The timing is interesting.
I'm posting more Thao stuff then I normally would because this is a developing story with zero communication from Thao. This does not mean she is guilty of anything.
Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao's spokesman resigned from office and will be replaced by an interim, KTVU has learned.
I know this isn't Oakland but there are cute dogs.
Forums are alive and well when looking for car info. Whenever I get a different car I look for communities with the most activity and that is usually a forum.
The one exception I can think of (proving the post to be true) is the first generation Tundra (2000-2007). The FB group had more current news than the forums and I managed to get banned (first time ever).

I started typing everything below and then remembered most people that modify their exhausts want attention and most of these people with loud cars are young. They usually grow out of it.
I used a loud radio in my car to get mine when young. I still like loud music but keep it to myself.

I've almost always lived in places where there was a mechanical inspection or smog inspection. There were a few times I had to temporarily let my car be loud and I hated it. These times were only when I was waiting on parts or talent.
Some people play the cat-and-mouse game with loud, modified exhausts and fix them when caught. Others like to modify their ECU so the car makes popping noises when decelerating.
I had a No Mow Spring in my backyard. The yard was cut down less than a week ago because I could not go out there for 10 minutes without my eyes starting to hurt. It was worse if I tried to kill the invasives. My area has had a terrible allergy season.

It is mostly non-native grass mixed in with invasives. There is ONE native plant I put in. Baby steps. I will add a few more natives during planting season.
Someone is asking the real questions. The AI answer may be garbage but appreciate the initiative.
