🚨 Breaking: Lexington’s Flock cameras were searched 7 MILLION times in just seven months — and Lexington Police accounted for only about 1% of those searches.

A review of the audit logs from January through July found that just 63,000 searches came from Lexington Police.

So who was doing the other 96% of the searching?

According to WKYT Investigates, those searches came from out-of-state and federal agencies.

Sony said you don't own your games… but we have all the receipts.

After Sony recently argued in court that “reasonable consumers” understand they don't actually own their digital games, fans have started compiling every example they can find where PlayStation used language suggesting otherwise.

The Consumer Rights Wiki has now documented dozens of examples of Sony using phrases like “games you own” and “you already own” across PlayStation's own websites and services.

That evidence is being collected as part of the wider backlash surrounding Sony's digital ownership policies and the ongoing lawsuit over how PlayStation presents digital game purchases.

Sony's legal argument hasn't been decided by a court yet, but gamers clearly aren't letting the company's older wording disappear.

Do you think Sony's old “you own” wording will come back to haunt them?

LET’S NOT PLAY ON PLAYSTATION FOR ONE WEEK. 🎮

Starting tomorrow, August 23 through August 30, let’s support the #PSBlackout campaign.

So for one week:
❌ Don’t play on PlayStation
❌ Don’t buy games
❌ Don’t make in-game purchases
❌ Skip PS Store purchases
❌ Skip logins & purchases
❌ Cancel/avoid subscriptions if you can
📀 Support physical games & preservation

The goal isn’t to hurt developers. It’s to send Sony a clear message:

Gamers still want the choice to own their games.

If you support physical media, join the #PSBlackout from August 23–30.

Would you participate? 👇

Sony is moving new PlayStation releases toward digital-only or code-in-box formats after January 2028.

This isn’t just about discs. It’s about ownership, preservation and access.

If a digital store shuts down one day, what happens to the games you paid for?

Some gamers are even considering Switch 2 or PC as alternatives for long-term ownership.

No PlayStation. No Sony game purchases. No in-game spending. August 23–30.

Would you join the #PSBlackout? 🔥

[Does it play? @DoesItPlay1]

The #PSBlackout starts tomorrow!

We want physical games to stay! A digital-only future without ownership & customer protection law is unacceptable!

Log off, don't play, don't purchase, cancel subscriptions, become a ghost, until Sony realize their mistake!

Over here, the school bus has an ARM, and when the arm extends, all of America stops.

I witnessed it on a morning walk. The yellow vehicle halted, lights flashing, and a small red blade swung out from its side bearing one word: STOP.

And EVERYTHING stopped. Both directions. A delivery truck. A sports car driven by a man who had been treating the speed limit as a rumor. A police cruiser — the LAW ITSELF — sat obediently behind the little arm.

For what? For one child with an enormous backpack to cross at the speed of a child with an enormous backpack.

He dropped a paper. He PICKED IT UP. He examined it briefly for damage. Two lanes of adult lives idled while a seven-year-old conducted a document review in the middle of the road.

No one honked. Hear me, America. NO ONE HONKED. I have seen your people honk at a red light for hesitating. I have seen you honk at each OTHER'S honking. And here, total silence, engines purring, a nation of the impatient waiting like stone guardians.

I asked my neighbor about it. He said passing a stopped school bus is one of the few things this country will not forgive.

"You can mess up a lot here," he said. "Not that."

You can mess up a lot here. Not that. Carve it on the courthouse, America — it is the most honest sentence in your legal system.

In Japan, we guard our children with crossing guards, flags, and song. You guard yours with a red blade that outranks police cars. Different schools. Same sword.

The bus folded its arm and rolled on. The sports car roared off to its debts. The boy never knew an army had held its breath for him.

That is the point. He should never know.

A man does not ask the bus to fold its arm. Nobody asks. Not even the law.

I stop walking now when the arm comes out. Pedestrians are not required to. I do not care. When a whole country goes quiet for one child, you stand still and you bear witness.

It is the best thing your roads do, America, and your roads do not even brag about it. Almost nothing else of yours is this humble. Protect it.

USA. A breakfast counter. The waitress recommended the biscuits and gravy, and when the plate arrived, I thought something had gone wrong in the kitchen.

I say this with shame. The dish looked like a construction site after rain. Pale mounds. Gray ladle-fall. Speckles I could not identify.

In my land, the eye eats first. A meal is arranged like a garden. This meal was arranged like weather.

"Is it… finished?" I asked, carefully.

"Honey, that's what it looks like."

The man beside me was already eating his. He did not look up. "Just try it."

I am a man who has charged hillsides at dawn. I raised the fork. I tried it.

I must now formally apologize to the biscuits, the gravy, the waitress, the kitchen, and the entire breakfast tradition of the American South.

It was magnificent. Warm. Peppered. The biscuit drank the gravy the way a field drinks rain — THAT is why it is shaped like that, you fool — and every mound I had insulted was a soft fold of comfort that my homeland, in eight hundred years, never once thought to invent.

"Well?" the waitress asked.

"I judged it," I confessed. "By its appearance. I am ashamed."

"Everybody does, hon."

Everybody does. A national dish that forgives you for doubting it. It expects the doubt. It waits for you on the other side of it.

Do not judge the gravy by its face. Judge yourself, for hesitating.

I order it every Saturday now. I no longer see the construction site. I see only the garden.

It was a garden the whole time. The eye must be trained.

@TRHLofficial God granted me a truly profound sense of peace, and so I didn't go down the road of pain.

Zoomers talking about how they can't cook meanwhile my 10 year old just brought me two fried eggs while I nurse the baby. They don't have the skills of a literal child. NGMI.

Dear Thomas Massie,

Tear it all fucking down on your way out.

Sincerely,
America

I lost the election but we started a revolution. Keep the flame of LIBERTY burning my friends! I will continue to put People and Principles before Party. America First! 🇺🇸

Thomas Massie for President 2028

[Dr. Simon @goddek]

I think it’s fair to say that the U.S. is no longer a constitutional republic but an oligarchy serving foreign-lobby interests over its own citizens.

Congrats to the elites, we’re now the United States of Israel. 🇮🇱
America was pretty good while it lasted, making it 249 years.

[Dave Smith @ComicDaveSmith]

If Massie loses tonight, he should run for President.

If Massie wins tonight, he should run for President.

[Joe Kent @joekent16jan19]

God bless Thomas Massie.

He walks out of this with his honor intact. He’s a patriot & kept his integrity.

As long as the voters give their votes to whoever can run the most ads we will have politicians who are purchased by foreign governments & corporate interests.

[Hodgetwins @hodgetwins]

Wish they went after Epstein pedos like they going after Massie

[Alex @EuropaActual]

Notice how every post about the KY-04 race is either pro-Massie or anti-Massie?

No one is pro-Gallrein. That should tell you everything you need to know.

[Covie @covie_93]

The fact that Thomas Massie is fighting for his political life in a Republican primary because he wants pedophiles to face justice is not a good look for the Republican party.
