"It's soup for my family"

I swear Meta has like 10 humans working for them. No way they can deal with this type of thing when it takes them 10 weeks to reply to a Facebook customer service issue, and when they do itAs I with an unrelated "answer".

NEW: Dozens of ads containing video and other child sexual abuse material ran across Meta’s social media platforms, including some as recently as yesterday. @mattburgess1.bsky.social has the scoop: www.wired.com/story/meta-r...

A gracious concession: “I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He is a doctor, a community health official, a Rhodes Scholar, and a dedicated Michigander. I am proud to offer my support as he takes on Mike Rogers in the general election…

Possible we usher in a crop of young good looking progressive Senators. AES, Peltola (shes my age so she is young and good looking), Talarico, Turek, and of course Ossoff. Not counting Troy jackson because he's a bit fuggo but he can be in the group photos I guess

my family did the “Color Hunting” trend while on vacation in Maine. Each person assigned a color to photograph, and then we curate and edit the best. We added a contest element to it by having my sister and brother in law judge the results and pick a winner.

America is now a joke country where citizens are arrested to cover up for the president’s lies on social media. We’ve replaced DEI with incompetence and protecting the egos of mediocre white men.
