Horrific though unsurprising report from @propublica.org: Ectopic pregnancy deaths have basically doubled since the end of Roe

Mark Jacob@markjacob.bsky.social · 36m agoLet's remember: / AG Todd Blanche still won't fully release the Epstein files, in violation of federal law. / Howard Lutnick is still Commerce secretary, despite blatantly lying about his Epstein ties. / Border czar Tom Homan still won't say what happened to the $50K he took in an FBI bribery sting.
These records prove what families and first responders have long known: City government knew the conditions around Ground Zero were dangerous — yet lied to New Yorkers.
For years, New Yorkers have demanded access to City records about the lasting health impacts of the horrific September 11th attacks. For years, they have been denied and ignored. That ends today. nyc.gov/sept11docs

Had to look at a Koreaboo article to find out about this since I don’t want to wander to the bad place. Yikes. Aren’t they supposed to have sensitivity training and stuff? How many people signed off on this choice who were supposed to have been trained to know better?

How @archive.org pulled together the BET Digital collecrion and made it usable: wayback-labs.sf.archive.org/bet-explorer...
Internet Archive@archive.org · yesterdayMuch of BET’s digital journalism is no longer available on the live web. Internet Archive has preserved more than 199,000 BET articles over the years. They can now be accessed through the Wayback Machine & a new pilot explorer: wayback-labs.sf.archive.org/bet-explorer/
It's crazy to me that this is not leading the New York Times, NBC News, CNN, etc. If you're that numb, maybe think about a field other than journalism.
Kevin M. Kruse@kevinmkruse.bsky.social · yesterdayIs it a big deal that the U.S. president is telling insane lies that he personally rushed to the site of 9/11 and heroically acted like a first responder himself? Sorta seems like it should be! Maybe?
I’ve been watching this on repeat all day kzjshshqvqvsvvsb
when i worked at sbux in high school they kept scheduling me for like 35 hours a week and i kept saying i can't work this schedule i have to go to school. turned out they were hugely overscheduling kids to avoid giving enough hours to the adults that they would've qualified for health insurance

the psycho terf groups are starting to have their eyes drift towards diy hrt resources again - so it's a good time to remember that under no circumstances in no world whatsoever for the rest of time should you talk to journalists, especially regarding anything related to diy hormones.
Streaming prices are rising 3x as fast as inflation. All 8 major streamers w/out ads will cost you $151/month now vs $90 in 2022. Cable companies made studios fight for every price increase. Remove the middle man, and you remove the guardrails. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus... #TVSky
Streaming Is Raising Prices Faster Than Cable Ever Did
Congrats, you cut the cord. Now you have six more cords. Streaming prices are rising three times as fast as inflation, making escaping cable company greed now seem quaint.

"Perhaps more concerningly, the TVs were capable of recording microphone audio when in standby; this continued even after the TV was disconnected from the internet, with audio files stored offline and uploaded once a connection was restored."

Sixty years ago today, the starship Enterprise launched and with it, a vision of the future where humanity had moved beyond its divisions. I was there at the beginning, and I can tell you...
Not to caricature, because many tech people are broadly curious and educated, but I do think some of the weirdness in AI discourse involves some people inventing philosophy basically from first principles and arguing with people who are more or less saying “We covered that sophomore year.”
