Zhang Yazhou was sitting in the passenger seat of her Tesla Model 3 when she said she heard her father’s panicked voice: The brakes don’t work! Approaching a red light, her father swerved around two cars before plowing into an SUV and a sedan and crashing into a large concrete barrier.

Stunned, Zhang gazed at the deflating airbag in front of her. She could never have imagined what was to come: Tesla sued her for defamation for complaining publicly about the car’s brakes — and won. A Chinese court ordered Zhang to pay more than $23,000 in damages and publicly apologize to the $1.1 trillion company.

...

Over the last four years, Tesla has sued at least six car owners in China who had sudden vehicle malfunctions, quality complaints or accidents they claimed were caused by mechanical failures.

The company has also sued at least six bloggers and two Chinese media outlets that wrote critically about the company, according to a review of public court documents and Chinese media reports by The Associated Press. Tesla won all eleven cases for which AP could determine the verdicts. Two judgments, including Zhang’s, are on appeal. One case was settled out of court.

It is not common practice for automakers — in China or elsewhere — to sue their customers. But Tesla has pioneered an aggressive legal strategy and leveraged the patronage of powerful leaders in China’s ruling Communist Party to silence critics, reap financial rewards and limit its accountability.

local organization Queer Residents of Worcester and Our Allies filed the petition asking councilors to make Worcester a sanctuary city for transgender and gender diverse people.

The petition specifically asks the city to not cooperate with federal and state policies aimed at harming transgender and gender diverse people, and to ensure that the LGBTQ+ community here has access to healthcare, housing, education, and employment without fear of discrimination.

“You have an incredible opportunity as a community to support our children, you have an opportunity to decrease the rates of depression and suicide by showing our children that their safety and dignity are a priority," one meeting attendee said.

Taiwan is going to increase the scale of its main annual military exercise by mobilizing more reserve brigades, amid media reports that the number of Chinese military aircraft entering the airspace around Taiwan has doubled since the inauguration of President Lai Ching-te in May last year.

This Eastern Screech Owl was found on the ground in LaPorte this past Tuesday, unwilling or unable to fly. After being rescued he was transported to our center for an exam to determine his lethargic behaviors. After determining that he had no broken bones and no soft tissue injuries, our team conducted a lead toxicity test as well as a test for rodenticide toxicity by checking to see how long it took for his blood to coagulate.

Not only did this Eastern Screech Owl's tests come back with elevated levels of lead of 10.7 ug/dL (should be less than 3.3 ug/dL) but his blood took hours to coagulate! Not only did his blood in the test tube have difficulty coagulating, but the tiny puncture site for his needle stick also had a difficult time clotting!!

Staff was able to utilize QuickStop and pressure on the puncture site to get the bleeding to stop but this is a very real sign that this Eastern Screech Owl had recently ingested a mouse that had been poisoned. For the next two weeks, we will be treating this owl with Vitamin K to help alleviate the rodenticide toxicity. Thankfully, he is already eating on its own and is much more alert.

Most rodenticides are anti-coagulants. They prevent the blood from clotting and thin it until the victim eventually dies from internal bleeding. The time taken for a rodent to die after eating the bait varies from 2 to 12 days. A rodent eating a sub-lethal dose (not enough to kill it) may carry the poison in its liver for several months. Before a poisoned rodent dies it may be caught by a predator which then ingests the poison. This is called secondary poisoning. Creatures which have been killed by secondary poisoning include opossums, foxes, owls, hawks, raccoons, and coyotes. Animals which have been killed by directly eating rodenticide baits include dogs, cats, pigeons and blackbirds.

To contribute to the cost of medical care for animal like this Eastern Screech Owl, who is being medicated for both Lead toxicity and Rodenticide Toxicity, please consider making a donation at www.humaneindiana.org/donate

January 2025: Seeing and photographing this beautiful and Northern Hawk Owl became an adventure in persistence for me. First informed about it on Sunday as it was rarely seen in these parts which caused huge excitement in the local birding community, we went every day for periods of 30-90 mins each time, but dipped on it.

Finally, yesterday we were able to spend the morning waiting and arrived at 8am. The weather was inclement and rain was in the forecast for the late morning. We waited for over three hours and need to leave at 11.15am. Nothing! With comments from fellow birders like "First day this week it hasn't been seen"

Then finally at 11.03am it was observed perched on a pole. I ran over and it decided to take flight past me and despite the weather, with a flat background flew past a tree which gave me good contrast for this picture. I was super happy! We drove off, smiling from ear to ear. What an amazing owl! And as we left.... it started to rain.

In an unbelievable hit piece, the Atlantic's deputy executive editor blamed "progressives" for the death of American Dream, blaming Jane Jacob, an advocate for mixed use building in urban environments, for the lack of housing in the US.

Somehow the editor completely failed to account for various obvious reasons that housing became unaffordable, such as NIMBYism, financialization of housing, speculative purchases, loose monetary policies, etc. and put all the blame on "progressives".

Insane paragraph below:

The sclerosis that afflicts the U.S.—more and more each year, each decade—is not the result of technology gone awry or a reactionary movement or any of the other culprits that are often invoked to explain our biggest national problems. The exclusion that has left so many Americans feeling trapped and hopeless traces back, instead, to the self-serving actions of a privileged group who say that inclusion, diversity, and social equality are among their highest values.

"Another person who was allegedly targeted on WhatsApp with spyware made by Israeli company Paragon has come forward.

Beppe Caccia, one of the co-founders of Mediterranea Saving Humans, an Italian non-government organization that helps immigrants, told TechCrunch that he had been targeted by the spyware campaign.

Caccia disclosed he was targeted after another one of his organization’s co-founders, Luca Casarini, said publicly last week that he had also received a notification from WhatsApp alerting him to the suspected spyware attack.

On Monday, during a press conference organized by Sandro Ruotolo, an Italian member of the European Parliament, Casarini said that he filed a complaint with the Prosecutor’s Office in Palermo, Italy, regarding the alleged hack. Casarini said his goal was to find out who targeted him and his organization.

“We don’t have anything to hide. Those who spy have a lot to hide,” said Casarini.
(...)
In the same press release, the Italian government said that Meta told it there were other targets in Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, Greece, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, and Sweden."

Golden hour fades into blue hour, and then blue turns to purple? Knocked a photo off my list that I wanted, alpenglow over the mountains with the owls. Also got a shot that I didn't know I wanted or needed, a pastel purple sky as this short eared owl looked at me.

Alpenglow: the rosy light of the setting or rising sun seen on high mountains.
