The state of Rhode Island requires all visitors to wear safety orange during the busiest hunting seasons. For the 2024-2025 season the regulations are:
All other users of State Management Areas and designated undeveloped State Parks, including but not limited to: hikers, bikers, and horseback riders are required to wear 200 square inches of solid daylight fluorescent orange from the second Saturday in September to the last day of February and the third Saturday in April to the last day in May.
500sq. in. by all hunters (including archers) and all users of management areas and undeveloped state parks during all portions of shotgun deer seasons.

It’s right in this fine article:
Section 230 allows platforms to avoid liability for removing bigoted speech that drives away customers. Now why the heck do some Democrats want to disappear Section 230?
A cop so dishonest and dangerous even the courts wouldn’t believe him.

I noticed that the Google infobox from a search for a local town contained photos of sites in neighboring towns. So I sent them feedback to help them improve their service. But the feedback system changed my comment to be about one of the nature preserves in another town rather than feedback on the infobox itself. Almost certainly that means they’ll keep showing people pictures of things they WILL NOT FIND in the town they searched for.
Generally I find Google search gives me the better search results than any other general search engine but there’s always room for improvement.
What a horrible piece of work Laura Burkett of Pawtucket is. She’s whining about getting a parking ticket for violating a parking ban law. Then she says she doesn’t want the city to enforce speed limits around schools, WTF!
Burkett said she thought the $50 “robo tickets” for tickets in school zones, where someone is ticketed for going 31 mph in a 20-mph zone, were bad enough.

Seriously of all the places you don’t want people flagrantly violating the speed limits it’s school zones. It’s very likely the system lets you get away with 25 or 26 MPH in school zone, but she wants to drive 11 MPH above the limit, what a horrible person, I bet she cheats on her taxes and violates many other laws too.
Thankfully the judge slapped her down in court. I think the city of Pawtucket will be far better off if she moves to a town that is willing to let well off white business woman ignore the laws everyone else has to follow.
This was a disappointing read this morning.
This is where the Mayo Clinic is truly delinquent. It’s one thing to soft peddle claims of making patients feel better. It’s another to misrepresent clinical science. That has negative effects beyond the topic at hand, and demonstrates a lack of dedication to the science of medicine that should be embarrassing for such an institution.
