In six weeks, we have gone from 'Dead people are collecting Social Security!' to Social security falsely declaring people dead.
what must be understood is that once *some* people can be declared legally dead because they are undocumented, *any* people can be declared legally dead because … well for anything
Exclusive: Two days after the Social Security Administration purposely and falsely labeled 6,100 living immigrants as dead, security guards arrived at the office of a well-regarded senior executive in the agency’s Woodlawn, Maryland, headquarters.

We at ProPublica obtained internal government data in May that showed the Trump administration knew the vast majority of Venezuelans sent to El Salvador had not been convicted of violent crimes. Our reporting is featured in Frontline. Read our full coverage: www.propublica.org/series/depor...

60 minutes CECOT segment. Recorded through my browser. HD quality. Not phone. Spread it around. If you're press, it's yours. Go nuts.

It's streaming on a Canadian website, but there is no telling for how long.

Hello,

I'm trying to get started (from scratch) with Power BI.
Microsoft seems to require several layers of subscriptions and corporate/school purchases; I'm *totally* on my own.

Does anybody know of good resources for learning Power BI from scratch, with no corporate/school accounts?

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

Grow the fuck up you goddamn weak ass censoring bunch of dumbass twats.
BlueSky is automatically hiding posts with cuss words in them.
You may want to adjust your settings:

You can edit these yourself IF you wish. To view the settings, follow the path:

Very important thread if you've never tinkered with the moderation settings.

Half the point of Bluesky as a social media platform is having control over your algorithm(s), after all.
