For 2026, my introverted self is doing a makeover of who I follow on this app. If I follow you for sports, food, photography, music you are likely safe. Same with the few of you I know I real life. Unfollows will be gradual. No offense to anyone but I never wanted to be popular. Quality > quantity.

Going through my music collection lately & noticed some artists missing like No Doubt & Tom Petty. What the hell is wrong with me? What else is missing? I use Apple Music if you have any suggestions. I'm not into death metal or anything like that but everything else is fair game. #MusicSky

Politicians are hoping to not just ban trans kids from playing sports with their friends but also open the door to all sorts of discrimination against transgender and other LGBTQ people.

We'll be at the Supreme Court tomorrow to stop them.
How the US supreme court case on trans athletes could unravel LGBTQ+ rights
If bans on trans youth athletes are upheld, more girls could face ‘invasive sex testing’ and trans people could broadly lose civil rights protections

WSJ investigation: In the past 6 months ICE agents have fired at vehicles 13 times, leading to:

* 8 people shot
* 5 of which were U.S. citizens
* 2 died
* no victims drew a weapon

The playbook: Agents box in a vehicle, block attempts to flee, then fire

Videos Show How ICE Vehicle Stops Can Escalate to Shootings
A WSJ visual investigation found that the Minneapolis ICE killing is one of 13 incidents where federal immigration agents have used deadly force against civilians in vehicles since July.
