I really hope this is a county holding area that people only stay in for a couple days, because holy poo poo. The thing is, they're all wearing white tees, which in most states, you have to buy from the commissary. That means these are probably long term prisoners. What the hell California?

Tomorrow is the 24th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square protests. As a result, Chinese censors have blocked the words "today" "tonight" and "June 4" as search terms. Also the words "big yellow duck" as a result of this creative image that made the rounds on Chinese social media by circumventing the censors.

The anniversary is almost over on this side of the world. I did some liveblogging in the China thread of some of the more interesting/hilarious/moving things that have been going on if you wanna check it out.

Also, California was ordered in 2009 to reduce the prison population to 137.5% of capacity, this was upheld in 2011 by the Supreme Court. California responded by taking some inmates and cramming them in county jails then flipping the Supreme Court the bird. Who is this governor dedicated to keeping California's prisoners in unsafe and unconstitutional conditions?

The level of vitriol displayed towards the bike program by some sectors of NYC is simply amazing. There's an endless flood of horror stories about how someone's day or health or business was ruined by those evil bikes. It does have problems, but with thousands of the things deployed and less than a week of operation a few glitches here and there are inevitable. By and large normal people are either happily using the bikes or not giving a crap one way or the other.

Here's a picture that ran in the Daily News of one of those unfortunate victims of the totalitarian bikeists infesting our fair city:

The Wall Street Journal is so incensed by the bike program that they're practically giddy with the news of a bicyclist being killed after getting hit by a car.
