Yeah, something fishy happens over there.
fascinating that Threads claims over 400M monthly active users while only ~21M of US adults claim to have *ever* used Threads

So where are the other 380M users located? Taiwan apparently has an active Threads community, but where else?

Does Meta purposely employ trolls to get people fired up and engaged? There’s no way I’m coming across as many rage-baiting opinions in any other environment as I do in the “suggested Threads” section on Instagram.

Reef relief in the Philippines.

After nearly two decades of relentless advocacy, local communities in the Philippines have secured a new 3,500-hectare marine protected area in Palawan that will safeguard vital mangrove and coral ecosystems.

I have approximately zero following on this app, sharing in the hopes it can get in front of the right person. A man I went to college with’s wife was kidnapped by ICE at a green card hearing, and he’s trying to find a reporter who will speak to him about the situation

Couldn’t agree more with this. In the context of this week, perfectly acceptable result. Welcomed even.
Always disappointing when you lose your lead in injury time but not bad week overall - victory in Manchester Derby; victory over Napoli in CL and a draw away at title hopefuls Arsenal. Nice work City.

Cardinal Timothy Dolan failed to report direct admissions of rape by multiple priests, lobbied against extending the statute of limitations for sex abuse, and moved money off the church books to hide it from victims of sex abuse. In case you were wondering.
Cardinal Timothy Dolan on Fox & Friends on Charlie Kirk: "This guy is a modern day St Paul. He was a missionary, he's an evangelist, he's a hero. He's one I think that knows what Jesus meant when he said 'the truth will set you free.'"

Wow! Listen to this list of acts of political violence. It’s not even complete, but sobering AF.

Now, Charlie Kirk was shot and killed in front of a crowd, and the video is all over social media. This needs to stop.

Let’s make one thing clear from the start: Charlie Kirk was the victim of a shooting in a country where he, along with other right-wing extremist influencers, have been inciting violence for years. — Kirk is neither a martyr nor a hero, he is a cause.

@michaelgaigg.bsky.social I wanted to show you how I've been applying what I learned about ExB at UC.

We had these 4 "Current Conditions" maps as different AGOL products. They've since been unified and restyled in ExB:

In June, Latricia Green pleaded for a protection order from her ex-husband. It was denied. She asked again in July. It wasn’t served.

She was shot and killed by her ex-husband this morning inside a Detroit hospital
Last month, hospital shooting victim sought protection from ex 'before this goes too far'
The cries for help from Latricia Green appeared in black and white, first in a personal protection order sought on June 13th of this year in Wayne County Circuit Court.

Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users.

While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

I debated 20 far-far-far-right conservatives (racists? fascists?) on Jubilee's 'Surrounded.'

Here are some of the highlights of them unable to answer my basic questions or rebut the simplest of points. Not sure whether to laugh or cry.
