The CDC has turned off its vaccine search tool.
The vaccines.gov site now gives an error when you enter a valid zip code.
They also removed text saying “Vaccines can help you stay healthy” and added a banner saying the site is being updated.

General Heleno fez parte da ala que queria dar golpe dentro do golpe durante a ditadura militar brasileira. General Heleno cometeu atrocidades no Haiti. General Heleno queria dar outro golpe no Brasil. General Heleno finalmente foi preso hoje, se isso não é motivo pra comemorar, eu não sei o que é.

After 404 Media's months-long reporting and pressure from lawmakers, the data broker owned by the U.S.’s major airlines will now shut down a program in which it sold access to hundreds of millions of flight records to the government and let agencies track peoples’ movements without a warrant.

DOGE was created for data theft and infrastructure dismantling and it wildly succeeded on both counts within the first few weeks of its existence. It will take a generation to rebuild what it destroyed and the breach of data is unprecedented.
Bye bye, “DOGE”.
It no longer exists as a “centralized entity”, according to the Office of Personnel Management.

i think if you want to have those disgusting LED headlights on your car, you should have to do a test where they blast you point blank with your own headlights and then you have 15 seconds to successfully complete some sort of vision-based task, and if you can't do it they push your car off a cliff

They're savvy enough not to submit something that's entirely fabricated, but it's clearly part of their workflow, which they think is ok bc the university has basically said as much. So feedback takes longer, as you're really just coaching them on where the AI has failed them. It's not sustainable.
