Tech-naive question: can content on these apps be placed on a site instead whenever they're pulled from the app store?

I understand the pulling of the app is its own disturbing issue

New: Apple banned an app that simply archived videos of ICE abuses. Rather than other apps that record ICE official's real-time location, Eyes Up is to "preserve evidence until it can be used in court." Videos from TikTok etc. Every submission manually reviewed

Apple Banned an App That Simply Archived Videos of ICE Abuses

Eyes Up's purpose is to "preserve evidence until it can be used in court." But it has been swept up in Apple's crackdown on ICE-spotting apps.

Tattoo my in-network hospitals on my forehead; do NOT let that ambulance take me to anywhere else

The plans changed to a different provider and I...think I picked the right one for me? I checked 3 different portals, the enrollment site, called the hotline, and compared to my current plan. Knowing I'll have at least 1 MRI a year means I need a spreadsheet to figure out how to break even

It look the better part of an hour to understand what the new health ins plans are at work. I have a pretty broad vocabulary & learned experience (and used to manage the health plans for a couple of years at a different job). I'm thankful I have coverage at all! It also shouldn't be SO confounding

Highland cattle are famous for their ability to "disco nap". Normally these brief, efficient sleeps will last between three and twenty minutes, deploying a variety of objects as pillows, including moorland boulders, cars or any particularly large dog or sheep who happens to be nearby.

this is news to no one who follows me, but if you hear of someone you know getting a care credit PLEASE try to talk them out of it. Or at least explain they HAVE TO BE ON TIME FOR EVERY *SINGLE* PAYMENT

M3GAN @meganreally.bsky.social · 1d

a family member used to work for a company that cleared credit for these kinds of cards, they're all Awful with a Capital A.

M3GAN @meganreally.bsky.social · 1d

sht like this is particularly horrid bc you can be on time with your payments until the veeery last one - miss it by a day - and then be liable for ALL of the back interest!!

Vulnerable patients are getting signed up for medical credit cards—in some cases while they’re still on anesthesia.

These cards are creating a new frontier of medical debt.

Some patients are even getting sued over debt from cards they don’t remember signing up for.

At the gyn today filling out the check-in paperwork and they ask to "rate your stress 1-10, what is your primary source of stress"...I cannot write it all in this little 10pt line, ma'am, but I appreciate you asking, I guess. Can I just get in the stirrups so we can get things moving along

Hampsterdance inspired me to make an angelfire site with so many ranma gifs in the hopes it would eventually crash the browser after enough scrolling

🐹 Before viral videos on TikTok or YouTube, there was Hampsterdance.

Full of dancing hamster GIFs & a sped-up tune, it became one of the internet’s first viral hits.

You can still dance to it on the #WaybackMachine ➡️ web.archive.org/web/19991222...

THE CHICKENS ARE FINALLY COMING HOME TO ROOST

Ryan Walters is out & the investigation floodgates just opened. The Oklahoma AG launched a full audit of Walters’ entire tenure as Superintendent, and it’s about damn time.

Also the education dept website’s being scrubbed of his culture-war nonsense.

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

Body-camera video appears to contradict the government’s claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed.
