Doctors say that vaccines protect children from dangerous diseases. A nepo baby who barbecues dogs and snorts cocaine off toilet seats says that vaccines make children vulnerable to 5G radiation. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

If you could do a successful heist of any museum or gallery which would you choose and what would you take

In the early morning, ICE raided the elementary school bus stop during the pick-up time, causing panic among the 4th and 5th graders. This unfortunate event took place outside the Woodland Village Apartments in Lindenwold, New Jersey.

The FTC and state AGs need to act *now* to stop this. Last time Meta slipped facial rec into its products (face tagging), enforcers dawdled. Meta took 11 years to wind it back.
We can't afford a decade of roving FRT-enabled surveillance cameras in every bathroom, clinic, classroom, and protest.

In an internal memo in May, Meta laid out its plans to release facial recognition in its smart glasses, to the blind first, & then to the general public.

A leaked internal Meta memo included in the article noted that, due to the current political environment, “[C]ivil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns.” EPIC would like to take this opportunity to demonstrate our ability to multitask.

My parents were all girl groups of the 50s/60s, protest songs, broadway musicals, and classic rock (what we’d identify as 60s-80s rock now). I definitely have the more modern stuff I adore but I also go back to all that stuff and still love so much of it
I know it's just childhood conditioning, but it sure feels like I actually enjoy the music of the 1960s

Out of my wheelhouse so can someone clarify: do “meal cards” work the same way—money deducted from a paycheck & put on the card? Or are they essentially being given a ~$14k/yr “raise” to cover the $39/day, which they’d then have to pay taxes on? (Shifting tax burden to soldiers or is it tax free?)
![The Army will open a new dining hall at one of its largest bases later this month, which the service has close] modeled off cafeterias on college campuses. Soldiers will be given $39 worth of what the Army is calling
"freedom dollars."
Freedom dollars is the term the Army is using to refer to the funds that are taken out of soldiers' paychecks to go toward meals at dining facilities. Typically, soldiers can only get a set number of food items per meal card swipe.
Now, individual items are assigned…](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:p2iywzxunav4tcdhcn2velsr/bafkreiakjzgenhkzakb7wq5xt3wkaiehkkvfmbbe7pyoscnwufhybbfena@jpeg)

Bondi crashes out over Epstein: "The Dow is over 50,000 dollars! I don't know why you're laughing. You're a great stock trader as I hear, Raskin. The Dow is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000, and the Nasdaq smashing records. That's what we should be talking about."
