Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

Looks like the article has been updated to suggest maybe they misread the policy.
I see people complaining that this also disabled their spam filters, though I still see new messages showing up in spam so it's still working fine for me after disabling things.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

this is quite frankly outrageous
37.5% - In penalty shootouts in all competitions for #NWSL teams, Aubrey Kingsbury has saved 37.5% of the on-target penalties she has faced (9/24). All other goalkeepers have combined to save just 17.2% (20/116). Different.

Starting with "You can have your opinions on trans issues & who can/cannot participate in women's sports leagues based on gender standards" is positioning this as a debate. Trans people's ability to fully participate in public life is NOT an "opinion" to "disagree" on! We have lost the plot!
Instagram post from former player Nicole Baxter following the appearance of her former teammate on a conservative news network this morning.
It reflects what others probably feel: have the conversation internally, not in a way that explicitly opens up players to abuse - that’s inexcusable.

What the actual fuck?
The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

The primary use case for "AI" is disinformation. Any discussion of the benefits of "AI" needs to include an understanding of the harms it does to our information environment.
So there were some AI-generated videos that purported to show Black women ranting about SNAP benefits, and... Fox News is reporting on this like these are real people. They're not! They're AI!
This is truly insane. Total unreality. www.foxnews.com/media/snap-b...

They don’t even have to pretend to hide their racism and classism anymore. They just show their whole bigoted asses.
Rep. Clay Higgins of Louisiana blames SNAP recipients for not stockpiling a month's worth of food.
