The 12-person special grand jury was impaneled Friday to consider if any of the nearly 400 cops will be charged
Jurors are expected to spend at least six months reviewing evidence
It comes a day after the DOJ slammed Texas law enforcement for their 'epic failure' in waiting 77 minutes to intervene while 19 students and two teachers were killed

Only part about this that bothers me is that after all this time Merrick The Weasel Garland has finally weighed in on it. Why did they have to wait for him?

^ They were hoping to dodge that bullet. As outraged as people are over what happened in Uvalde, some people in Texas think anyone in a PD uniform comes in right behind The Father, Son and Holy Ghost in sacredness.
There are problems right out of the gate empaneling a grand jury that disallows anyone related to a cop.

With the aide of @Liberty_Ctr, a California school boy is suing @sdschools for accusing him of a hate crime through “black face,” suspending him and banning him from all sporting events. Read: https://t.co/iKkWmbwxNo
Oh, yasss. Looks zackly like Al Jolson singing "De Camptown Racists"
A lawsuit in Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, against the principal of Muirlands Middle School and superintendent of San Diego Unified School District has been filed by a middle schooler who was suspended for wearing eye black to a football game that school officials deemed "blackface."
The lawsuit, filed on Tuesday, brings to memory recent headlines about a young boy who was accused of the same racist act when he was falsely accused of "blackface" in November 2023 at a Chiefs football game.
In the lawsuit of the more recent incident, the middle schooler is referred to as "J.A." Muirlands Middle School Principal Jeff Luna and Superintendent of San Diego Unified School District Lamont Jackson are being sued at their personal and official capacities by J.A. and his legal guardians. The school officials also alleged that J.A. had used "racial slurs" while wearing the eye black, which the lawsuit says is false.
The introduction of the lawsuit states, "Muirlands Middle School ("Muirlands") student J.A., along with around one hundred other fans, wore face paint at a high school football game to show spirit for the team. J.A.’s eye black design—commonly referred to as Warrior eye black—is well known and regularly worn by professional athletes and fans in a wide variety of sports."
"Yet for this innocently-intentioned and protected expressive conduct, Luna suspended J.A. for committing the 'hate crime'—threatening violence to another person with the purpose of intentionally invading legally protected interests—of wearing blackface," the introduction continued. "Luna offered no evidence to support this outlandish allegation, yet his decision was then rubber stamped by the Doe Defendants in the SDUSD office of placement and appeals, again without providing any evidence to back up the incendiary claims that J.A. engaged in racist activity."
On a Friday back in October 2023, J.A. had attended a football game and wore what is known as "warrior eye black," a style of eye black that athletes he admires have worn before.
The school does not have any policies against wearing such eye black, and others at the game were similarly putting eye black on their faces.
When a black security guard at the game saw the eye black on J.A., he had "said it looked good and complimented J.A. on his design," according to the lawsuit. He had also received compliments about the eye black from other racial minorities in attendance.
The Monday following the game, nobody at school mentioned his eye black. Two days later, on Wednesday, J.A. was pulled out of class and sent to Principal Luna's office.
"Principal Luna told J.A. that the high school had received complaints that someone matching his description had worn blackface at the... football game on Friday night," the suit recounts. "Principal Luna also told J.A. that there had been complaints that a group had been yelling 'racial stuff' at the other team and their fans."

Keep on suing these azzholes in both their professional and personal capacities. When a few of them have to pay out of their pension finds, they'll get the idea and stop.
Blue state nonsense, though they’re completely blowing out of the water that First do no harm thingy. I seem to recall it was a Massachusetts hospital that disagreed with a child’s diagnosis and treatment not long ago, getting the local courts to allow them to lock her away from her parents for child abuse for a year or more.
[NYPost] Milford Regional Medical Center’s announcement about rules for its “inclusive environment” caused a recent stir with a warning to potential patients that they must follow a specific code of conduct to access their services.
Dr. Peter Smulowitz, chief medical officer at the Massachusetts Medical Center, released a now-unlisted video on the hospital’s official YouTube channel Jan. 3 explaining how not just staff, but patients themselves, are held accountable for causing offense, ranging from rhetoric to a hostile tone of voice.
“Everyone should expect a safe, caring and inclusive environment in all our spaces,” Smulowitz said. “Our patient and visitor code of conduct helps us meet this goal. Words or actions that are disrespectful, racist, discriminatory, hostile or harassing are not welcome and will not be tolerated.”
He specified that some examples of unacceptable conduct would be “offensive comments about others’ race, ethnicity, accent, religion, gender, sexual orientation or other personal traits; refusal to see a clinician or other staff member based on these personal traits; aggressive or intimidating behavior, physical or verbal threats and assaults; sexual or vulgar words or actions; and disrupting another patient’s care or experience.”
Smulowitz warned that “body language and tone of voice are also important parts of communication.”
The doctor said, however, people would be given a chance to explain themselves should they be accused of such conduct.
“Some violations of this [c]ode may lead to patients being asked to make other plans for their care. For serious or repeated violations, future non-emergency care and visitation rights at Milford Regional may require review, though we expect this to be rare,” the entry on the website read.

Point of trivia:
Bike in the graphic is a Schwinn Heavy Duty, sometimes referred to as the 'paperboy.' Manufactured in the early to mid-1960s. If you can find one in the condition as shown (with original saddle - as shown), the price will be in the $1000. range. (handle bars appear to be from a later model).
Price when new, about $62.

The F-35 was undergoing maintenance at Luke Air Force base in Glendale, Arizona on March 15, 2023 when the incident occurred
An engineer left a flashlight inside the engine: the three-person team did not follow the standard procedure of ensuring all equipment was accounted for
When the jet's engines were turned on, they heard a clanging sound: on shutting them down they saw the blades were damaged
Bird strike here on the ramp? No, that story just ain't gonna fly Eugene.

...This sort of thing shouldn't be happening, but it does whenever people are involved - doesn't make it better, but it does explain it. Foreign Object Damage - or FOD, to use the colloquial term - is a constant threat to the care and feeding of airplanes and their crews.
The RAF actually lost an F-35 about a year ago because some poor sod left an inlet cover in the inlet, and at least two preflight inspections didn't catch it. The good news here is that the Luke AFB bird will fly again after an unscheduled engine change. The bad news is that the idiot who failed to follow standard, simple, direct, written-in-stone procedure will now be exploring the exciting world of grounds maintenance for what's left of his career.

Not necessarily. If a diversity hire of P&W, will probably be bumped upstairs or golden parachuted with a NDA. If some poor enlisted airman but of the appropriate box-checking background, will probably be kicked upstairs.

^5 - M.M, I had not even thought of the possibility of these guys being contractors. It's a lot more prevalent now than when I was in - at my last base we had a couple of tech reps each from LockMart, P&W/GE, and the like who were mainly there to assist when not even the TOs could figure something out. These days we don't have enough Airmen on the line to keep things going and the contractors are apparently helping to pick up the slack...at a tidy profit for their employers as well.

[GEO.TV] An earthquake of magnitude 6.4 has rocked the Colombia region, as reported by the European Mediterranean Seismological Centre.
The quake, with its epicentre buried deep at 115 km (71.46 miles), has plunged entire communities into disarray.
Colombian media paints a grim picture of the disaster, revealing that the temblor struck approximately 5 km southeast of Cartago city, home to some 134,000 souls.
The shockwaves of this natural catastrophe were not confined to Cartago alone; Pereira, a city of nearly 467,000 people situated 22 km southwest, bore the brunt of the quake's force.
Reports from the ground depict scenes of chaos as the beleaguered residents grapple with the aftermath, Colombian authorities have yet to release any official information regarding the extent of damage or potential casualties.
In the wake of this seismic nightmare, communities are left anxiously awaiting news of their loved ones and the fate of their homes, as the nation braces itself for the long and arduous road to recovery.

[RIA] Two British Navy minesweepers collided at a base in Bahrain and suffered damage to their hull, the Mirror reported , citing sources.
"The millions of pounds worth of Royal Navy ship Chiddingfold collided in reverse into... the British warship Bangor in a humiliating accident in Bahrain," the newspaper writes.
According to the Mirror, both ships belong to the class of minesweepers. Chiddingfold crashed into Bangor while it was moored at a naval base. In connection with the incident, a high-level naval investigation has been launched, which will establish how two valuable ships could have ended up in a similar situation, the consequences of which could be very expensive, writes the Mirror.
A Navy spokesman did not tell the publication the extent of the damage, but said that no crew members were injured.
According to the publication, both ships are part of the British fleet group deployed in the Persian Gulf and Indian Ocean as part of Operation Kipion.

How is she different from the human version?
The OFF switch.
William Gibson wrote a novel "Idoru" where a man falls in love with an AI pop star. The idea seemed a bit implausible at the time, but after watching the social media phenomena, I can see it becoming a thing.

[REGNUM] The 54th World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland is over. Following the event, representatives of the world elite from more than 120 countries were forced to admit: the largest powers and even states of lower rank entered into fierce competition for the right to determine the new world order. And this competition leaves no room not only for consensus, but also for any collective decisions at all.
