In the 1960s, the GOP used Operation Eagle Eye to challenge voters of color. Now, Operation Eagle Eye is back — on steroids — with the help of AI technology.

Maryland waited until the last minute to seek alternatives to its troubled prison health care provider.

The current provider is a for-profit company spun off from a company in bankruptcy that’s been sued in Maryland and elsewhere for poor quality care.

apparently yet another 737 MAX experienced an incident, the side blew out and nearly took a seat with it in flight, Alaska Airlines Flight 1282. The mother had to hold onto their child in that seat who lost their shirt. Several phones were ripped out of passenger hands.

your neighborhood software girl here. none of this should be a priority now, especially not stuff like circles and video. instead:

- first-class accessibility
- app-based auth code 2FA
- notification tab needs a deep rethink
- search needs investment (this includes tags as part of feature work)
if you're running bluesky what's your priority ranking of circles, DMs, functional threads, and videos/gifs?
