2. 'Fire is out': Leon commissioners updated after chaos in the courts (tallahassee.com) — Leon County, Florida officials say their court-records IT crisis is now contained after a problematic software upgrade, and they're auditing millions of records for errors.

3. California man who's spent the last two years living in his Tesla and paying no rent shares how much he's saved (supercarblondie.com) — A former supervisor at Tesla's Fremont factory, laid off in 2024 and forced to sell his $1.2 million home, has spent the last two years living full-time in his Model X. By relying on 24-hour gyms and careful parking choices, he says he's cut rent and utility costs enough to save about $1,500 a month in high-cost California.
4. Why did a California white man call a Black father a racist? (themarysue.com) — A Fremont father says a white man confronted and yelled at his daughter while she practiced driving near the local DMV, sparking a tense exchange over public-road use and race.
