ijk3e9ctiytburfipehy.jpg

We all know Donald Trump believes mail-in voting is dire a threat to democracy, or a threat to his re-election chances, which is somehow the same thing.

Facebook is seeking to force a face-off with Apple over its 30% in-app purchase commission fee, which Facebook suggests hurts small businesses struggling to get by during the pandemic.

Facebook said Friday that it will launch “Paid Online Events” for small businesses in 20 countries around the world to charge Facebook users to attend their classes, instructions and other events.

Bald eagle attacks $950 state drone, drops it into Lake Michigan

Near Escanaba, nature and mankind clashed as a bald eagle waged an attack on an EGLE drone 162 feet above the waters of Lake Michigan.

Nature won the battle, and the drone now rests on the bottom of the lake.

The skirmish took place last month. The pilot of the ill-fated drone was Hunter King of the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE). On the day of the EGLE drone’s swan song, King was mapping shoreline erosion. He had completed seven minutes of the flight when he began having reception problems. King pressed the button to recall the drone.
