There is a new wave of scams pretending to be Bluesky moderation or support accounts claiming you are suspended.
DO NOT CLICK THAT FUCKING LINK.
IT IS A SCAM.
CHECK BEFORE ENGAGING. Accounts look like these.

There's a sense of solidarity in knowing that nearly ALL of Gen Z can't get a job
As in: It's not *just me* that can't find employment, it's entirety of my generation. That at least means that it's not specifically me that is messing things up.

Please do not refer to the CDC for health information or advice anymore. It has been bastardised and now full of misinformation.
Very disheartening to see what was once a leading public health platform has turned into.
A dangerous blunder to push horrid agendas with RFK led HHS & GOP led Govt.

That still doesn't account for the fact that in most areas where they're chasing LLM development, it's not actually improving anything. Because the people selling it have no idea how it works, or rely on the buyer not knowing.

What if the A.I. bubble “is an inevitable part of developing and adopting a revolutionary tool that will fundamentally improve productivity and growth?” Mohamed El-Erian writes.
Opinion | A.I. Is a Bubble. Maybe That’s OK.
Investors’ excitement rightly reflects the potential transformation of the entire economy.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers at the University of Exeter have found that getting vaccinated against shingles- a painful and debilitating condition that can flare up years after infection from varicella zoster virus- not only LOWERS the risk of infection, but can also PROTECT against Alzheimer’s disease!

It is particularly galling that Trump is calling for the execution of people who actually served honorably in the military, while he took a bone spur exemption and famously boasted that his Vietnam was dodging syphilis in 70s New York.
Just a historically loathsome figure by any measure.

This is a lawyer thing that is far more common than lawyers like to admit. It comes from backwards reasoning. ”We want result X. We have to put on testimony Y. Who knows about those facts and is qualified? Do a declaration for him and put it in there.”
A senior ICE official just admitted in an evidentiary hearing in Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s case that someone else drafted his declaration in the case and he didn’t know what certain words meant.
