The Animal Legal Defense Fund (ALDF) is offering an $8,000 reward for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of whoever wrote the word Trump on the back of a threatened manatee.

TOLLAND, CT The latest installment of the Picture Tolland series takes us back to the late, late, 1700s and a North Green landmark in Tolland that no longer exists.
It s the Lee Methodist Church, built in 1793 on the site of 95 Tolland Green.
The Tolland Historical Society Tells us that Charles Underwood bought it in 1878 and moved it back about 200 feet (putting it over the current day property line in the wayback part of 689 Tolland Stage Road) after the Methodist Society voted to build a new church on the Green site.

The breakfast foods brand formerly known as Aunt Jemima finally has a new name and logo.
The name Aunt Jemima, which has long been criticized as a racist caricature of a Black woman stemming from slavery, will be replaced with the Pearl Milling Company name and logo on the former brand s new packaging, according to parent company PepsiCo. We are starting a new day with Pearl Milling Company. A new day rooted in the brand s historic beginnings and its mission to create moments that matter at the breakfast table, a PepsiCo spokesperson told CNN Business.

Aunt Jemima is rebranding as Pearl Milling Company, a move that comes months after parent company PepsiCo Inc. announced plans to retire the pancake mix and syrup brand name and image, sparking a broad and brisk makeover in food branding as marketers moved to remove monikers and images with racist undertones.
The new name goes back to the brand’s roots. In 1889, the owners of Pearl Milling Company, Chris Rutt and Charles Underwood, came up with the first ready-made pancake mix in St. Joseph, Missouri. Rutt named the product Aunt Jemima after “Old Aunt Jemima,” according to a company timeline, “a song from a minstrel show featuring performers wearing an apron and bandanna headband. The image of Aunt Jemima was registered as a trademark in 1890.
