The image features a vinyl record album cover prominently displayed in the center. The cover is black with white text and graphics, reading "KENNY BURRELL JOHN COLTRANE." The artwork on the cover depicts two musicians, one playing a guitar and the other playing a saxophone, in a dynamic pose. The album is placed on a white shelf next to a turntable with a wooden base and a black platter. The turntable has a logo that reads "Linn Sonder." In the background, there is a chair with a black seat and a green cushion, and a carpeted floor is visible. The setting suggests a personal music collection or a listening area.

I fantasized about a car thief hot line that you could call and they'd roll up and steal the car with the obnoxious car alarm.

Mₜ = ( f (dB(-d) ) - |hₘ| ) / Mₐ

Mₜ= molotov cocktails thrown
f = weekly alarm frequency

The move could significantly increase the amount of data available to Flock, and in turn its law enforcement customers. 404 Media previously reported local police perform immigration-related Flock lookups for ICE, and on Monday that Customs and Border Protection had direct access to Flock’s systems.

Flock Wants to Partner With Consumer Dashcam Company That Takes ‘Trillions of Images’ a Month


Flock, the surveillance company with automatic license plate reader (ALPR) cameras in thousands of communities around the U.S., is looking to integrate with a company that makes AI-powered dashcams placed inside peoples’ personal cars, multiple sources told 404 Media.

Nexar, the dashcam company, already publicly publishes a live interactive map of photos taken from its dashcams around the U.S., in what the company describes as “crowdsourced vision,” showing the company is willing to leverage data beyond individual customers using the cameras to protect themselves in the event of an accident.

3 years ago my wife decided we should get a dog as it would help our autistic son. She insisted that if we got an older gun dog I wouldn’t notice it. I would never have to walk it or pick up shit.

I hate dogs but it was hard to resist the emotional blackmail.

We got the dog.

My life now consists of walking it and picking up shit. The dog is not interested in my son at all.

I have just walked out of the bedroom to find it noisily eating a dried pigs ear.

So that’s where we are.

Deathgasm (2015) is a splatter-comedy about two teenage metalheads who unleash hell by playing cursed sheet music.

The name alone is enough to hook me. Deathgasm. Any horror movie that calls itself that has a lot to live up to. And somehow, it actually does. This isn’t just gore and power chords. It’s dildos turned into weapons. It’s corpse paint and ice cream. It’s Walmart being so freaked out by the title that they slapped a shotgun onto the DVD art and renamed it Heavy Metal Apocalypse.

The story’s simple: small-town rejects bullied into the ground, one of them stuck living with his meathead cousin who makes life worse because his girlfriend likes the metalhead better. So what do you do when your cousin is a raging jerk and life sucks? You summon demons with music, of course. And once the needle drops, nothing goes according to plan.

The carnage is both homemade and excessive. Director Jason Lei Howden, a visual effects guy by trade, insisted on practical gore—about 80 liters of it—because fake blood sprayed out of a hose just looks better than any CGI. The result is the kind of messy, sticky violence you’d expect from the land that gave us Peter Jackson’s Braindead. But there’s also this homespun Kiwi charm baked into the madness, like the movie knows it’s swinging way above its $200,000 budget and doesn’t care.

And the soundtrack? This isn’t poser metal. You’ve got Emperor, Nunslaughter, and local legends like Beastwars blasting through the speakers, which only makes the bloodletting feel that much heavier.

Add in an axe-wielding babe, a washed-up rock star named Rikki Daggers, and a props department that actually kept a box of “used” sex toys slathered in fake fluids long after filming, and you’ve got something that feels like it was forged in a garage, baptized in beer, and left to rot in a practice space.

The movie might not have been a box office monster, but it became a cult one, with fans calling themselves “Gasmheads” and pushing so hard that a sequel—Deathgasm 2: Goremageddon—is finally happening.

So yeah. Deathgasm. A horror comedy that lives up to its name. And then some.

Das Bild zeigt einen schwarzen Labrador Retriever, der auf einem outdoor-Tischplatz sitzt. Der Hund trägt eine rote Leine und einen Harnisch. Er blickt direkt in die Kamera mit einem freundlichen und neugierigen Ausdruck. Im Hintergrund ist ein Teil eines braunen, hölzernen Tisches zu sehen, auf dem ein Glas Wasser steht. Neben dem Tisch befindet sich ein gelbes, geflochtenes Stuhl. Der Boden besteht aus grauen Fliesen. Ein Teil einer Person mit blauen und grünen Schuhen ist im Bild zu sehen, was darauf hindeutet, dass der Hund wahrscheinlich mit jemandem zusammen ist.

Whistleblower alleges widespread manipulation of DC crime stats, fueling Oversight Committee probe


A whistleblower has reportedly come forward to confirm claims that the Metropolitan Police Department in Washington, D.C., has been manipulating crime data, a scandal that has led the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform to launch its own investigation.

In August, President Donald Trump initiated a federal surge on D.C. streets, citing high crime rates despite the MPD reporting a decline.

'The Committee has obtained credible, alarming information that MPD leadership falsified crime data to deceptively show a decline in violent crime in the District.'

While Trump faces backlash from critics for taking matters into his own hands, a scandal is unfolding regarding whether the police department manipulated the data to make it appear as though crime rates have been declining.

The D.C. Police Union has long accused the MPD of manipulating crime data. Following the union's allegations, the department placed Police Commander Michael Pulliam on paid administrative leave in May. The department is investigating the claims.

"When our members respond to the scene of a felony offense where there is a victim reporting that a felony occurred, inevitably there will be a lieutenant or a captain that will show up on that scene and direct those members to take a report for a lesser offense," Gregg Pemberton, the chairman of the D.C. Police Union, previously explained to WRC-TV.

"So instead of taking a report for a shooting or a stabbing or a carjacking, they will order that officer to take a report for a theft or an injured person to the hospital or a felony assault, which is not the same type of classification," Pemberton added.

RELATED: DC police commander under investigation for allegedly manipulating crime stats

The allegations of underreported crime trace back to 2020 when MPD Sergeant Charlotte Djossou shared internal documents from two cases with WUSA.

The first case involved an alleged assault in which a man was accused of slashing a woman's face and neck with an unknown object. While the alleged attack could have been classified as an "assault with a dangerous weapon," it was instead recorded as a "simple assault." The first offense is a felony, punishable by up to 10 years in prison, while the second offense is a misdemeanor, carrying a maximum sentence of six months in jail.

The second case involved an incident where a man was accused of putting a knife to the neck of his partner. This also could have been classified as a felony assault; instead, it was reported as a misdemeanor "simple assault."

The cases were not prosecuted, according to WUSA.

"It's not OK to lie to the community about what's going on around them," Djossou told the news outlet during her 2020 interview. "That's what I saw happening."

"The commanders and the captains get promoted, and they get awards, when the crime stats are low," she remarked.

Djossou filed a lawsuit against the MPD, claiming that she had faced retaliation for disclosing the alleged underreporting to her supervisors. The lawsuit was settled in June.

Djossou stated that reporters have contacted her since, but she "can't talk to them until I retire" because she is "still a sergeant with the Metropolitan Police Department."

The Oversight Committee announced on August 25 that it launched an investigation into allegations of manipulated crime stats, revealing that a whistleblower had come forward.

According to the whistleblower, the manipulation was "widespread," directed by "senior MPD officials," and potentially impacts all seven patrol districts.

The Oversight Committee sent a letter to the MPD the same day, requesting information to aid its investigation, including the unredacted settlement agreement between the MPD and Djossou.

The committee has requested transcribed interviews with Pulliam and the current MPD commanders for all seven districts.

"Building on President Trump's successful efforts to restore law and order in the District of Columbia, the House Oversight Committee is carrying out its constitutional duty to oversee D.C. affairs and ensure our nation's capital is safe for all Americans," Chairman Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) told Blaze News.

"The Committee has obtained credible, alarming information that MPD leadership falsified crime data to deceptively show a decline in violent crime in the District. MPD has a duty under federal law to accurately report crime to the public, and the Committee is now taking action to investigate these allegations and ensure the safety of D.C. residents and visitors is never compromised," Comer stated.

The MPD did not respond to a request for comment from WUSA.
