Well THIS is interesting. The University of South Carolina is asking its medical students to formally waive liability for exposure to COVID-19. The other option is to opt out & do non-clinical rotations... but they risk not graduating in time.

9️⃣ Mandate a separation between the crime response units and investigative units in a department I quite literally can't count how many times I've tweeted about police officers caught on camera planting evidence 36/ Sailor Brendan

Ann's personal AI hurtled the autonomous car down an urban chute, suspension taking staccato punishment through each intersection, their wet asphalt path lit green by traffic management LEDs it controlled, as blood began to penetrate the driver seat and short its occupancy sensor

Under constant acceleration, the car’s four rubber contact patches pitched and atomized water from the soaked road, displaced air degenerating into violently buffeting turbulence as speed increased beyond anything designed for. This tool couldn’t last. But it didn’t need to.
