San Francisco's Speed Camera program has been very effective - on the streets where we have them. We need to change State law if SF is to use speed cameras to reduce the speeding that happens on other streets. Walk SF has a petition campaign asking the City to engage with the state to change those laws. If you are a SF resident, please sign at:

There comes (hopefully) a time in life when one recognizes that the law and the system called a "justice system" have nothing to do with justice.
Maybe it's when you see the system's complete disinterest in even investigating rich pedopholes. Maybe it's when you hear about a 6-year-old immigrant separated from his parents and compelled to take the stand in his own defense. Maybe it's when you see it give every benefit of the doubt to killer cops so they can get away scot-free, while doing nothing to change the cultures that continue to produce police shootings. Maybe it's when you see a woman prosecuted for having a miscarriage. Maybe it's when you read the court's opinion upholding the idea that police do NOT have a duty to protect civilians, or the opinion stating that if police choose not to uphold the law that's fine and they aren't accountable for that.
Whenever you see it, a natural question is: when did this happen? How long has this been going on?
Thankfully that question is easy to answer: just open up a history book and look for the founding date of whatever nation you live in.

Better! I added a runt filter for the sync pulses on my my pico based rgb-uvc adapter; much better - it's just running on another PIO sm, and so other than an extra wire, it's still component-free.
My BBC Master's sync is really nasty; it looks that way on the main board, I'm not sure if it's the 6845 or the croma chip or what.

#FlyingLess puts you in iconic #trains, like this Polish-German InterCity. That’s a decent way to end the #EAAST conference. Including, of course,

The consistency of the #NetanyahuAdministration's persecution of #Palestinians and anyone who supports them is a pretty strong indication of intentional #CrimesAgainstHumanity…

I’ve heard reports exactly like this in • every • single • election • since 2004. And every time, when somebody finally manages to get to the bottom of it, it turns out the culprit is garbage UI design — not the machine secretly changing votes (because why would it •show• the user if it’s actually cheating?!).
But these breathless stories about touchscreen voting aren’t going die unless touchscreen voting itself dies — because it’s a terrible idea.
Paper ballots, marked directly by the voter themselves, validated and counted in an optical scanner. It’s not rocket science, folks.

RE: #TOTP because I used it to set up the Now Playing bot. The first two tracks were S Club 7 - Reach, and Stephen Gateley - New Beginning.
And indeed that's what the TOTP Archives website confirms was on the original broadcast back in the year 2000: https://totparchive.co.uk/episode.php?id=1890
But if you go to the iPlayer version (https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0032wtl/top-of-the-pops-09062000), the first two tracks are Len - Cryptik Souls Crew, and Doves - Catch The Sun.
The rest of the stream then proceeds as per the broadcast version. How very strange.
