Holy shit. So Elon decides it would be nice to know what region of the world people are posting from. So they add that little feature.
2 hours later they figure out that many Trump supporters with millions of followers are posting from other countries. Surprise!
That "feature" is now gone.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

When a President calls for the death of lawmakers protecting the oath military members take to the Constitution (NOT the President), you are watching a full-blown Constitutional Crisis. This is the ultimate test of our democracy. We cannot look away.

The President of the United States is publicly calling for the political prosecution of his political opponents, urging the death penalty because they urged soldiers to uphold the rule of law.
This should be front page news everywhere. It is not, which tells much about how we got to this point.

When a sitting president calls for death to lawmakers, it’s not a warning sign, it’s the emergency siren. He is talking like a dictator and telling you exactly how he plans to use his power.
This is how democracies fall and how dictatorships begin.

The crown prince saying he was going to invest a trillion dollars in the United States had the same energy as Mark Zuckerberg right before he got caught on a hot mic saying, “I didn’t know which number you wanted me to pick.”

The UCP touts itself as a small, freedom-loving government.
Objectively, using the notwithstanding clause goes against both of those notions.

Is this like $1.1 trillion over 50 years, just like the mortgages? Corrupt liars doing deals with corrupt liars. 🙄
Fox News credulously reports that "the Saudis now say their investment pledge in the US will be increased to $1 trillion." THE ENTIRE GDP OF SAUDI ARABIA IS $1.1 TRILLION, so this is total nonsense.

The speed with which the astronomy community set up working groups and organized special discussion sessions around satellite megaconstellations (compared with often glacial pace for these things) demonstrates very clearly that astronomers are Not Fine With This. 🔭
In one of my astrophoto groups, a guy posted a photo that shows some non-celestial stuff in it and someone said it’s satellite constellations and another person said that astronomers really hate those and several men have weighed in to say actually astronomers think they’re fine
Me: WE DO NOT

Fellow Albertans, pharmacists and AHS staff are trying their best to find reasons to not charge you for the covid shot. Anxiety, depression and high bp all count as reasons to not charge you.

This is disability visibility.
Mamdani listened. He didn’t pander or talk over the disabled journalist.
He acknowledged his concerns and gave real responses about how he plans to fix them.
1 in 4 Americans has a disability, it’s a huge number of voters.
Don’t ignore us!
