This is my cousin, Chief of the Manchester Police Department, Chief James Berry, who recently passed away.

In 2004, he was sworn in and was the first Black police chief in Manchester, Connecticut.

I don't read books but I do have a Kindle from a while back. I purchased the new #KindleColor because what I do read are #comics and now I can take them with me anywhere.

The new KindleColor is amazing for reading comics and the colors are vibrant. It also supports the #guidedview so I can read frame by frame which is best for me.

Absolutely epic

CareYaYa now has over 25,000 students on its platform from numerous schools, including Duke University, Stanford, UC Berkeley, San Jose State, University of Texas at Austin.

Japan also figures prominently in this literary landscape, and a fondness for #cats in the iyashikei genre has proven commercially viable abroad.

While it’s true feline-centered iyashikei literature may lean toward the frivolous at times, the late poet Mayumi Inaba amply demonstrates its quiet potentiality in her memoir “Mornings With My Cat Mii,” skillfully translated by Ginny Tapley Takemori.

Countries at the U.N. COP16 summit on nature on Friday approved a measure to create a permanent body for #Indigenous peoples to consult on United Nations decisions about nature conservation.

The consultative body is considered a breakthrough in recognizing the role that Indigenous peoples play in conserving nature globally, including some of the most biodiverse areas of the planet, according to Indigenous and environmental advocates.

This took WAY WAY too long.

Thanks to #PCOS my biggest problem area is the midsection.

Women with PCOS are often easy to spot because body shape; arms and legs are super thin and the middle is where everything settles.

As a result I have to spend more time doing a lot of ab work.

Got a ways to go but I'm pretty confident that I'll reach my goal considering I haven't done HARDLY ANYTHING since August and I'm down 2.9%.

The #ZoZoFit is great because when I work out, thanks to PCOS, I bulk up crazy fast. My muscle growth if I consistently row for a few weeks gets crazy and just going by a scale it always looks like I am gaining weight and my stupid doctors think so as well. With a body scan I can show them a more accurate view of what's going on with my body.

89/94 going into the weekend. 👍🏾

Month end is when @IronButterfly and I get a bunch of things done including our body scans with #ZoZoFit. Don't we look lovely in our scan outfits 🤣 🤣

I haven't updated my scan in a while only because I keep forgetting to do it.

I'm doing pretty well when it comes to my health and fitness but I just wanted to get a new starting point now that my apartment gym area is finished and I can get back on track. 🎉

Tauri worked out so hard he just fell off the wheel and decided to die 🤣 or pose ... yeah, I think this is a pose ...

Toho has greenlit a new movie from #Godzilla Minus One director Takashi Yamazaki.

Godzilla Minus One took a unique approach to the traditional giant lizard tale that created one of 2023’s best films. It notably won the Oscar for Best Visual Effects at the 96th Academy Awards.

There is no anticipated release date for Yamazaki’s new film but I'm still excited to see what he will do next!

Sasha Calle was cast as Supergirl in The Flash and there were big plans for her future in the DCEU. She signed on for multiple films and there were several conversations about her future in the franchise.

But, ultimately, after James Gunn and Peter Safran took over DC Studios to reboot the DCU, those future plans were flushed down the toilet.

In Gunn’s new DCU, Supergirl will be played by House of the Dragon star Milly Alcock. She will most likely make her debut in next year's Superman movie.

Hospital beds have wheels on them so they can be moved around. But one man went one step further, outfitting a bed with tank-style tracks so he could ride it around on any terrain. It can even climb a steep staircase. Not bed ridden but riding the bed instead. 🤣

The Impulse Induction Cooktop is inspired by a DJ console, the cooktop offers intuitive control with four raised burners, each equipped with temperature-sensing technology and LED light rings for easy visibility. The centralized LCD screen ensures precision, displaying real-time temperature readings for each burner.

Designed for seamless efficiency, the Impulse runs on both grid power and an integrated battery, ensuring functionality even during power outages.

Only 6k 🤣

The Nanxi hotel’s design by WH Studio draws from the structural form of leaves, particularly the Ginkgo biloba, one of the oldest tree species.

Ginkgo leaves feature a fan shape and simple, clear vein structures that provide resilience against wind and rain.

In the Nanxi Tree House, WH Studio mimics this structure through fan-shaped rooms and cantilevered supports that extend from the main ‘root’ of each unit.

A newly completed hotel by WH Studio, known as the Nanxi Happy Pastoral Wild Hotel Treehouse, presents an evolution in treehouse-inspired design.

Following the success of WH Studio’s 2019 Xianghu Senbo Resort Treehouse in Hangzhou, the studio was invited to design this second iteration. Unlike traditional treehouses, this design emphasizes suspended forms and a lightweight structural system.

The architecture is accentuated by Eastman’s cutting-edge color interlayers for laminated glass that complement the facade’s complex structure and offers a green-bathed space which further pays homage to the adjacent temple‘s dome.

The company behind the eye-catching glass features of the pavilion is Eastman, known for its Vanceva PVB interlayers, which enable architects to explore new possibilities in laminated safety glass.

With its striking geometry and glowing green interlayer accents by Vanceva, the OMA-designed Audrey Irmas Pavilion in Los Angeles, California, stands as a captivating example of modern design and historical #architecture coming together.

The Pavilion not only serves as a functional space for religious and cultural activities but also as a testament to the transformative power of design.

Łowcy skór (The Skin Hunters) is the story of a gruesome deal between emergency care workers and morticians in Poland.

Four people were convicted of murdering at least five elderly patients and selling information regarding their deaths to competing funeral homes.

I love it when Vir just gives his passive aggressive wait and stare when he doesn't like the food @IronButterfly put out for breakfast. Then he slowly creeps forward and sits again with the same look. The longer we ignore him, the closer he creeps up. 🤣

#CatsofCoSo

I can't begin to express how tired I am of all of these linguistic racists constantly trying to "correct" everyone - especially members of the #GlobalMajority - or belittle them for the way they speak or pronounce things.

I have zero patience for people who do this and people who insist on believing that language does not and should not ever change or evolve.

If you're one of these people who hates how people talk, hates slang, hates Gen-Z speech etc, please unfollow me and seek peace.
