Readings for April 25, 2023

• 👮🏻‍♂️🖕🏼 Officer who killed Breonna Taylor has been hired by a nearby police department 🔗 - Oh, sure, he may have mowed down an innocent black woman simply living in her own home, but “we think he will help reduce the flow of drugs in our area and reduce property crimes,” Miller said. “We felt like he was a good candidate to help us in our county.” Fuck the police.
• 🛻 GM confirms Chevy Bolt will die this year, making way for electric pickups 🔗 - I’m not in need of a new vehicle, so I can’t say whether a Bolt would have been in any final list, but sure wish I lived in a country that wasn’t aching to shoehorn every vehicle owner into a big ol’ truck. I live in an area that pretty much requires me to own a vehicle of some kind. That doesn’t mean I need some overdesigned, oversized behemoth just to bring back a few bags of groceries.
