Just as a headed up, police brutality footage of the death of Tyre Nichols is so bad that multiple cities have been preparing to quell protests is being released sometime today. If video auto-plays in your browser, you might want to get an extension to block that.

I don't know how big this story will be, but a lot of places are preparing for it to spark outrage and for it to be mega-viral. Obviously, some of the delays, the insta-firing the cops and charging the cops with murder *before* the tape is even out are all moves hoping to lessen the impact. But, I am expecting this video to pop up in places would I would not typically witness a brutal murder. People who have seen the tape already have said both that everyone needs to see it and also that no one should ever have to watch it.

* I was going to photowalk last night, but it's been a heck of a week and I face planted instead. Not sure about heading out tonight... I probably will, but just not to the areas I'd planned. I photo walked through all the 2020 protests, but I am just not feeling up to seeing people using this as an excuse to cause trouble right now. I am just not in the right mindset to handle it, esp after my attempts at getting out and people around people in chill social ways these past few weeks all fell through or went badly.

* Insta keeps spamming me with these videos of someone Oh No spilling coffee or tea on their drawing and then, what's this? OMG they are painting with the coffee to make art! So Creative!

Every video you've ever seen of that is this specific ink. For at least 20 years that's been the special sauce in fake viral content.

* Yeah, I'm just not in the mood to deal with things right now and will probably stay in.
