A new era of government censorship has begun.
It started with the silencing of scientific speech, when the admin blocked release of research on bird flu. But MAGA has also cracked down on other wrongthink—on race, geography (!), and of course Trump himself

The CDC’s Youth Risk Behavior Survey has monitored the wellbeing of America’s high school students since 1991.
Since 2015, it’s been a vital source of data on LGBQ youth. In 2023, it provided the first ever nationally representative sample of transgender teens.
As of this morning, it’s gone.

Memphis goes to Clemson and wins on the road to get to 8-2. Penny Hardaway scheduled aggressively in the non-con and it's going to pay off. Impressive stuff and quite the résumé: wins over UConn, Missouri, Michigan State and Clemson, w/ @ UVa, plus home to Miss St. and Ole Miss still to come.

Winning at Clemson is hard enough. Doing it after losing at home to Arkansas State is huge. Mad respect for Penny and the players. By far their biggest win of the season.

The $82.5 million sale of "Hot Ones" studio First We Feast is part of a broader strategy at BuzzFeed to shift away from human editors, writers and content producers in favor of artificial intelligence, which result in "high-margin, tech-enabled revenue lines."
BuzzFeed sells "Hot Ones" studio for $82.5 million as it pursues more AI-driven content
The company said the sale will allow it to depend less on human-created content in favor of "high-margin, tech-enabled revenue lines."
