The officers are giving out citations to those who don't stop for the chicken crossing the road.
The gig is paying off as the department has given out about 40 citations with some fines costing upwards of $400.
"If you don’t see someone in a giant chicken costume, then we really have a problem," said police Lt. Jonathan Ozol to the SFGate.
"It’s having an impact. Drivers seem more aware, more cognizant. Certainly when they see the chicken."
Eminem would like a word. ✰ (explicit language)
I don't expect DJT to comprehend this, but we might see a Truth Social post "I Hate Eminem" soon.

Laura Loomer removed from congressional hearing. Hilariously shut down...

SUPPRESSED AND SABOTAGED 2024: The Fight to Vote
Thurs Sept 19, 7pm, Resource Center for Nonviolence, Community Room, 612 Ocean St, Santa Cruz.
FREE
Reel Work and the Santa Cruz County Chapter of the ACLU of Northern California present a special free event regarding combating voter suppression and showing everyone how they can make a difference in the November elections. In addition to anyone who wants to learn about voter suppression, this event is geared to people who are not already involved in election-related actions, but would like to get involved, or who want to get more involved.
The evening begins with a screening of the powerful 30-minute film from Brave New films, "Suppressed and Sabotaged 2024: The Fight to Vote." The movie "is a tool in the arsenal of every concerned American, sounding the alarm on voter suppression and election subversion ahead of November 2024." After the screening, Robert Greenwald, the founder and President of Brave New Films and the director of "Suppressed and Sabotaged," will join us virtually for a Q&A about the film.
The evening will continue with discussions by leaders of local work to overcome suppression efforts and increase voter turnout by writing postcards, making phone calls, canvassing, and other tools, and how you can join them and/or start your own group. The speakers will include representatives from Indivisible, Walk the Walk, and Artists Respond and Resist Together, as well as several individuals who have organized their own groups from Capitola to Ben Lomond.

Toyota's Controversial 1:6:90 Rule: Prioritizing Hybrids Over EVs
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
Toyota seems to have an agenda against EVs.
And, their "vision" conveniently fails to consider the fossil fuels required to run hybrids and PHEVs. There's a place for these as part of the solution, but Toyota's math is cherry-picking to make a point.
Toyota's 1-6-90 Rule is a controversial strategy the company has outlined to prioritize hybrid vehicles over fully electric vehicles. According to the leaked internal documents:
The 1-6-90 Rule Rule states that the raw materials required to manufacture one battery electric vehicle could alternatively be used to make 6 plug-in hybrid vehicles or 90 traditional hybrid vehicles.
Toyota argues that the overall carbon reduction achieved by these 90 hybrids over their lifetime is 37 times greater than that of a single-battery electric vehicle.
The rationale behind this rule is that Toyota believes there are significant challenges with widespread EV adoption, including limited critical mineral supply, insufficient charging infrastructure, and high vehicle costs.
Toyota sees hybrids as a more accessible and impactful solution in the near term to reduce emissions rather than focusing primarily on more expensive and resource-intensive EVs.
However, critics argue that Toyota's reluctance to embrace EVs fully could hinder innovation and progress in the EV industry, which many see as crucial for long-term emissions reduction.

Coincidentally, here's a fun widget to work with that I discovered when researching this topic.
I can't vouch for it's accuracy but it could be useful!

EDITED, Taylor Swift talks to parents about coming out politically. Video:

I now love me some Taylor Swift even more than ever.
