Incident Involving Scooter
06/29/2026
As mentioned in other BuffScan channels this incident unfolded at West Ferry and Niagara on the evening of June 28, 2026. The call went over the air as a "pedestrian struck" though it was unclear if the victim of that was still on scene at the moment of this documentation. A witness told BuffScan she thought that the actual perpetrator had fled.

Changes to BuffScan Publishing
06/29/2026
Not that anyone should be surprised at yet another change-up as I am constantly tinkering, but as one may know from my announcement in today's BuffScan Daily Drama Showcase I am moving the single stream impulse publishing component of BuffScan from X to BlueSky in a migration effort that begins this week.
What that means for the publishing schema of the BuffScan digital title is that now it looks like this:
- BuffScan on the Web - This is very important to BuffScan whether it evolves as a routinely updated and engaging component similar to a blog. Or it stays static and acts more like an online repository showcasing longer form content. The center of any digital entity should be a WWW presence and as a matter of cause I do my best to maintain that order, even at the expense of audience size and growth. I have mixed spells of wane and surge in this regard but long term my vision is to make this HTML website BuffScan's home base to a world wide web that is gradually waking back up as others agree with me. I would like to eventually eradicate all need for anything else on this list.
- BuffScan on Facebook - The BuffScan Facebook Page is merely a circulation and re-amplification platform just like X or BlueSky. BuffScan's WWW page acts as home base and its Facebook page and other social media channels are considered reflectors. Were it possible, the ideal scenario would be to have a presence on ALL popular social media platforms of an era to reflect, circulate, and re-amplify content. However, as a small digital press shop the resources simply do not exist for that. Facebook's unique talent is that it is a very polished and capable publishing platform in its own right, with Meta touting it as a sort of more plugged-in web publishing solution -- on top of the actual web. If I did not care about free access, control, and digital sovereignty, it would probably be this chief editor's exclusive "blogging/publishing" platform of choice. People without my philosophical quirks but the same instinct to publish and circulate, exist exclusively on Facebook quite comfortably.
- BuffScan on BlueSky - ...and as of today we can add "and once on X" for that matter. BlueSky is what I refer to as the impulse publishing platform component of BuffScan. Like Twitter and X once did, it provides a simple way to blast content fast to the world that is easily accessible on a platform where people can subscribe. Unlike the later Twitter and the current X, on BlueSky people can receive chronological feed posts of their subscriptions, and due to the company's corporate structure as one for public benefit, and its inert philosophy, it will always be this way. Today's X by contrast is striving to be a closed paywall platform that (like Facebook) also interferes with a regular user's absorption via algorithms that result in click bait and unfair if not capricious discoverability of user content contributions; the latter matter which is supposed to be the value point of any system relying on a network effect in the first place.
- BuffScan on YouTube - BuffScan maintains its YouTube Channel as a video hosting solution. Hosting video files directly on one's webserver to any meaningful degree (efforts to experiment with that aside) requires too much infrastructure and isn't the most efficient way to do it. YouTube solves that problem particularly since it allowed embeds into websites. YouTube is not a social network per se although where video is the primary content output, it nonetheless maintains a social ecosystem that can be depending on how you define that. It is an effective broadcast monetizing solution. That being said, your BuffScan Editor-in-Chief believes that one day the free hosting of billions of videos will eventually become unsustainable and that everyone counting on YouTube doing that as a cheap solution for exactly that will have to one day pay up or give up on the video components of their digital press output period. This is already true for producers who don't want their content intermixed with advertising, which is currently the method they "pay" for all the free hosting today.
