You really can’t see the posts on twitter? I didn’t realize. I do have an account, strictly for news feeds and such. Why not get an account ?
ETA: I’m actually antI social media, primarily Facebook .
mainly because it perpetuates self centered narcissism. IMO

How an 11-year-old Iowa superfan got to meet her pop idol, Michael McDonald
Paisley Gardner's parents didn't know what to think when she became obsessed with the smooth voice of 1970s soft rock legend Michael McDonald.
www.cbsnews.com
Apparently, she was hungry and wanted to go to McDonald's and one of his songs came on. It was a coincidence, but she listened to the song.
She thought Michael McDonald had blonde hair and was in his 40's. She drew a picture of this imaginary guy.
She was shocked to find out he had white hair and wrinkles. She found it distressing.
After meeting him, she gave him the drawing.
Apparently, Christopher Cross and Michael McDonald are good friends.
Cool story

Stay vigilant against credit card skimming devices!
They might look like your standard keypad at self-checkout, but some are actually skimming devices! On April 1, the two pictured individuals attached a credit card skimming device to a self-checkout register at Walmart located on Exposition. It wasn’t until July 1 that the device was discovered! It is still not known how many people could have had their information stolen, but detectives are actively working on this case. If you recognize either of these individuals, please contact @CrimeStoppersCO
With the increase in self-checkout registers, investigators have noticed a rise in credit card skimming incidents, where criminals install hidden devices on card readers to steal your sensitive information. Here's how you can protect yourself:
Stay Observant: Before using any card reader, inspect it closely for any signs of tampering or loose components, even consider giving it a tug since they are usually only installed with tape. If something seems off, trust your instincts, and report it to staff or management.
Shield Your PIN: While entering your PIN, shield the keypad with your hand or body to prevent anyone from capturing it with hidden cameras or who might be peeking over your shoulder.
Choose High-Visibility Locations: Opt for gas pumps, ATMs, or checkout registers that are more frequented or can be seen by the attendant. Skimmers often target remote or less busy areas.
Use Contactless Payment: Whenever possible, utilize contactless payment methods like Apple Pay or Google Pay. These methods provide an extra layer of security by not transmitting your actual credit card number.
Monitor Your Accounts: Regularly check your credit card and bank statements for any unauthorized transactions.
Report suspicious activity immediately to your financial institution and the police. Report Suspected Skimming: If you come across a suspicious card reader or suspect skimming activity, notify the authorities and the business where it was found. Your help can prevent others from falling victim.
Share the Word: Spread awareness about credit card skimming among family and friends.

Surveillance video released on Friday showed two people allegedly installing a credit card skimming device at an Aurora Walmart back in April. The device was allegedly placed at the self-checkout area at the Walmart located at 14000 E. Exposition Avenue on April 1 and was not discovered until July, according to Aurora police. In a release, investigators said it was not clear how many people might have had their information compromised. Police noted the device looked like a typical keypad used at self-checkout counters and warned of an increase in credit card skimming as self-checkout registers have become more common in stores.

These conditions, by today's standards, would be considered "austere". Working in this environment made me a better death investigator.

Bodycam footage shows the moments surrounding a near-deadly stabbing attack on a Nevada police officer on August 25. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department said 25-year-old Sandra Lopez-Ochoa allegedly grabbed a kitchen knife and slashed an officer before being shot five times. The Law&Crime Network’s Sierra Gillespie @sierragillespie breaks it down.

All aircraft on the installation have been evacuated/secured in preparation for #HurricaneIdalia . During the evacuation, the 50th ARS recorded St. Elmo’s fire, a weather phenomenon in which luminous plasma is created in an atmospheric electric field.

If you miss this one Wednesday night you will have to wait a while as the next Super Blue Moon will not happen until 2037.

RUNAWAY...TOILET? A police officer in Michigan chased down a port-a-potty that rolled away. "Luckily, he was able to apprehend the suspect before things became messy," police said.

It was bright and beautiful. I’m glad we went out to have a look!
I expect it to still be impressive in the wee hours of the morning, too, unless cloud coverage blocks my view…
