This is a oft-repeated company line from them for opt-out, for deciding what kind of ads our channels get, etc. Rather than figuring out how to engage their userbase—which I admit is weird because it's freelance streamers AND viewers—they fall back way too easily on, "Because no one would use it!"

NEW: This week, Michigan announced the first two U.S. deaths linked to cyclospora. The chief culprit in this outbreak? Our food system where just four massive corporations control over HALF of the U.S. fresh-cut salad market. Keep Americans safe. Break up food monopolies.

In what universe would I be connected to Reese Witherspoon? LinkedIn? Y'allrite? Is everything okay at home?
I have nothing against Jimothy or any of his fans, really. But I can't get away from him him right now and it's a bit annoying.
Further evidence that morally bankrupt leadership of AI companies will be downfall and not the tech itself. It doesn't matter if there was no "malicious intent". Ya boi committed a crime! Blow it up and start from scratch.

It has been criminally underreported but Kelsey Pfendler has just rowed solo across the Pacific Ocean from the US coast to Hawaii in record time. A 2,400-mile unsupported journey in 43 days, 17 hours, and 55 minutes. Notably beating the Men’s record by 9 whole days.
In the last few days I've found myself on Kelsey Pfendler tiktok and it's healing my heart a little. I hope she lays under a palm tree for a week straight with a pina colada IV after she breaks the record.

I grew up signing along to Village People songs with NO CLUE what they were really about. That _very_ straight little white boy just enjoyed the music. Seems pretty simple, huh?

Pequea Township Silver Mine which dates back to the 1800’s. Photos of the Old Lime Kiln, 2 macro shots of the decayed wooden beam across the top of the kiln opening, and the house across the road. I’m not sure if the house was a homestead or office for the mine.
