The Davises have been serving their city for more than a decade, but in Sept they announced that they would not be putting on a show this year, due to the risk of exacerbating the pandemic. It was a heartbreak, but it was also the right call.

But this story has a happy ending. The Clackamas County Scare Fair is a 20-30 minute drive-through, pandemic-safe haunt with a soundtrack broadcast on low-power FM radio, and the Davis Haunt has been integrated into it!

Tickets are $20 for "as many people as you can legally fit in your car" or $11 for a solo. It's yet another reason I wish I lived in the region (I tried to move my family there in 2015 when we emigrated to the USA, but we ended up in LA, which has some badass haunts, too).

For avoidance of doubt, this is a steaming pile of BS.

1/
Here's the context. Ad Observatory is a tool that helps FB users scrape and store the ads that get shown to them. These ads are pooled by academics in a repository that is used to analyze Facebook's failure to enforce its own policies about paid disinformation campaigns.

2/
FB has threatened to sue a university for maintaining this tool. They claim that they are required to do this by the FTC and as a means of protecting their users' privacy.
