Popcorn: The Only Grain That Performs
Last weekend, the village of North Loup, Nebraska, population somewhere around three hundred, threw its 125th Annual Popcorn Days. A carnival took over Highway 11 from Friday to Sunday. There was team penning and sorting, a turtle race, kids' games, a juvenile parade, a men's slow pitch tournament, sand volleyball, a street dance, and on Sunday the largest parade in the area to close the show. The theme this year was "Looking Back at 125 Years of Popcorn Days," which is what happens when the anniversary becomes the headline: the parade turns into a mirror. II spent my childhood summers in North Loup with my grandfather, in a house where the television pulled in exactly one signal, channel 10/11, and where the calendar bent around one August weekend the way other towns bend around Christmas. The smell arrived before the event did. Hot oil, salt, the sweet dust hanging over the poppers. You could stand at the edge of town with your eyes closed and know what week it was.

It’s infuriating that weather warnings are so bad that people don’t get the notice until the danger has passed.

#Nebraska wants #datacenters to come clean about #water usage
As the state deals with persistent #drought, residents and regulators want more answers.
In addition to #electricity, water has emerged as a point of contention as companies look to build more data centers. With water use expected to rise due to droughts and higher temps from #climatechange, water policy and allocation are top of mind, said Crystal Powers, water extension educator at Univ of Nebraska-Lincoln.

Omaha Police Deploy G.L.O.V.E. Electroshock Gloves for School Resource Officers as ICE Plans Parallel Acquisition
Video Source
https://reddit.com/comments/1vqawj0The G.L.O.V.E., or Generated Low Output Voltage Emitter, is a wearable electroshock device manufactured by Compliant Technologies of Lexington, Kentucky. Omaha Police Department purchased 40 pairs for approximately $66,000 after City Council approval in June 2025. School resource officers wear the gloves and activate electric pulses through palm pads by grip pressure. The dual-use vector is the same pain-compliance architecture now under DHS solicitation for ICE agents at up to $20 million.
For students this means exposure to directed electric pain in middle and high schools. The right in tension is bodily autonomy. The pattern follows prior less-lethal expansions justified by de-escalation. OPD has recorded two uses with zero reported injuries; expansion remains under evaluation.
At scale the capability normalizes contact electroshock in educational settings and federal enforcement. Verify via City Council records and DHS notices. Scrutiny of procurement transparency and use-of-force policies is the immediate response.
