FLOCK to disappear from LA. Now police are pushing a new $235 million Axon package. Beware of cities dumping FLOCK. Many are simply updating to the fancier fully integrated Axon system instead of ending mass surveillance.

OutKast is suing rapper and producer Ovrkast. over his stage name.
The case was filed by High Schoolers LLC, a trademark company owned by André 3000 and Big Boi, on September 16 in the Northern District of Georgia against Ovrkast. (Silas Wilson).
The suit cites Ovrkast.’s July 2025 Rolling Stone interview where he stated, “The worst thing I get is like, ‘The n***a think he OutKast.’ It’s like, ‘No, bro. I wasn’t even thinking about OutKast...’” OutKast argues that Ovrkast.’s statement proves the public confusion is real and that he’s continuing with knowledge of it.
OutKast is seeking a permanent ban on using the name Ovrkast. or anything similar across his music, merch, websites, and socials, plus his profits, damages, legal fees, and destruction of branded materials. They’ve requested a jury trial. In 2024, OutKast also sued EDM duo ATLiens, arguing that they coined the word for their 1996 album.
