    Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. replaces banned weed, LGBTQ rights flags — with bigger ones
    https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/540323-pennsylvania-lt-gov-replaces-banned-weed-lgbtq-rights-flags-with-bigger
    Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, a Democratic Senate candidate, has replaced the pro-weed and LGBTQ rights flags hanging from his office balcony with bigger ones after lawmakers moved to ban the display. "Since they passed a law that said I can’t fly my old [LGBT] + weed flags from my office balcony, I figured new, bigger better ones would be legal," Fetterman said on Twitter along with a photo of the new flags. Fetterman was referring to a measure that the GOP-controlled Pennsylvania state legislature included in its budget legislation in November that banned the display of any flag other than the American flag, Pennsylvania’s state flag or flag honoring missing American soldiers at the state Capitol or its grounds.

    Savannah Police investigating two social media posts alleging attempts at human trafficking
    https://www.wtoc.com/2021/02/19/savannah-police-investigating-two-social-media-posts-alleging-attempts-human-trafficking/
    The Savannah Police Department is investigating two separate social media posts circulating in Savannah that detailed two incidents alleging attempts at human trafficking. In one incident, a woman claims a man, who she believed was a human trafficker, was attempting to distract her at a Savannah gas station so that he could take her children. Officers spoke with the woman and the alleged suspect and determined the incident to be a misunderstanding and not an attempt at human trafficking. Officers learned the alleged suspect was actually a gas station employee who was attempting to tell the woman that the pump she was at was inoperable.

    ‘Justice League’: The Shocking, Exhilarating, Heartbreaking True Story of #TheSnyderCut
    https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2021/02/the-true-story-of-justice-league-snyder-cut
    A demoralizing battle with Warner Bros. A devastating personal tragedy. A fan base he couldn’t control. Zack Snyder tells V.F. why he quit ‘Justice League,’ and why he’s returned to complete a cut that’s reached near-mythical status. Zack Snyder, the director of Justice League, has never seen Justice League. His name is in the credits as the filmmaker, but he’s never sat through the version released to the world three years ago. His wife, Deborah, who produced the movie, advised him not to. In late 2017—months after the couple cut ties with the superhero epic amid an increasingly demoralizing battle with Warner Bros.—Deborah Snyder sat in a screening room on the studio lot alongside Christopher Nolan, one of the movie’s executive producers, as well as the director of the Dark Knight trilogy. She braced herself as the lights went down. “It was just…it’s a weird experience,” she says now. “I don’t know how many people have that experience. You’ve worked on something for a long time, and then you leave, and then you see what happened to it.”

    https://www.cbc.ca/news/indigenous/poundmaker-cree-nation-bison-1.5925300
    For the first time in over a century, plains bison are roaming on Poundmaker Cree Nation territory in Saskatchewan again.  Last Friday community members gathered as a herd of 20 bison were released into a compound. "It was very heartfelt, knowing the importance and significance of the buffalo in traditional and current times," said Jojo Tootoosis, a member of the Poundmaker Cree Nation, about 225 kilometres northwest of Saskatoon. "They tie us to our spirit and to our history and our future." Tootoosis witnessed the release of the bison from the trailer into the 16-hectare compound they will call home.
