ICYMI, an investigation by @sheilawang.bsky.social, me and @icij.org has found more than 30 unauthorized crypto-to-cash shops on Yonge Street in the Greater Toronto Area, openly flouting the law.
We also found alleged links to Iran-backed terror groups.
Suspicious transactions at GTA crypto shops reveal alleged links to Iran-backed terror groups. Is the regulator doing enough to police them?

Thought I would have gotten used to it by now, but I’m still grappling with the realization of just how stupid the men running this country are.
first time we’ve see big tech stand up to the trump administration in a solid, documented way
Many Americans have heard tales of folk legends Johnny Appleseed and Paul Bunyan. Now, with the publishing of a new book this week, people will also learn of Ah Bing, a larger-than-life horticulturalist who immigrated to Oregon and has a cherry named after him.
Mal definitely needed therapy.
a chocolate lab snuggles with a person on a sofa, laying on their lap with one front arm tucked around their legs. his face looks up at the person with enormous eyes, dilated with little rings of golden brown. his ears are back, and the result is one of the most effective begging faces we’ve ever seen.
Moose rests on a brown sofa, his chin tucked on a rawhide bone and the flap of one lip squished up by the couch cushion. he has one front paw extended out, and the other tucked into his body like a little chicken wing. he’s looking up a bit, showing a little sliver of the whites of his already-enormous eyes, making them look even bigger under his cutely furrowed eyebrows.
the big-eyed brown pup as a puppy. he’s sitting in a white bathtub, slightly damp. he’s mostly in shadow, but his eyes are like two glowing orbs in the center of his face, almost human in their coloring and shape.
This is Moose. He has very big eyes. They are the result of a rare and painless ocular condition. Doesn't seem to mind it. Makes his puppy dog face even more powerful. 13/10 (credit u/aGooseyMoose)
(We know his Disney princess eyes look fake, but we can confirm these photos are not AI generated)
NBC’s Richard Engel: “The White House meme campaign is outraging many former US military commanders… they say only someone who has never really seen combat would think it’s a joke and put out material like this.”
Really, @washingtonpost.com ?

Sgt. Benjamin N. Pennington, 26, of Glendale, Ky., died from injuries sustained during an enemy attack on March 1. Pennington was assigned to 1st Space Battalion, 1st Space Brigade, Fort Carson, Colo. www.stripes.com/branches/arm...
The only Dems “in a bind” about funding this war are ones beholden to AIPAC like Moskowitz — why is @cnn.com centering them in their chyron?
Cutting off💰for a bad war isn’t abandoning the troops, it’s supporting them. Stop using missile makers’ lines
Dems overwhelmingly oppose this
Yes. Ogles is a blatant racist. And he faces no consequences for this.
Saying this about any other group would never be allowed.

“Short term pain for long term gain”
Watch Trump’s puppets pathetically parrot their new line — that nobody is buying. #NoWarWithIran (from @bluegeorgia.bsky.social )
Gov. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social calls out ogles
What exactly is the Pentagon paying these AI companies to do to us?

PSA for Tennessee media: you are either calling out Rep Ogles’ racism for what it is, or you are normalizing it. There is no third option.
“Wow he blocked me because he can’t take criticism” that’s correct. This is social media. You’re just some asshole. I am under no obligation to listen to you tell me what to do. Have a blessed day
You can almost sense his little boner-tingle at saying something naughty. They’re all the fucking same, just worthless underachievers with the imagination of afternoon television.
Fuck him, fuck his party and fuck his supporters.
it's impossible to overstate how much the presence of cops escalates a situation in which someone is confused and scared. most of these people didn't pick up a weapon until police entered their home and threatened them. often family members tried to shield them. they were usually dead in under 2 min

We are aware of recent reports regarding targeted phishing attacks that have resulted in account takeovers of some Signal users, including government officials and journalists. We take this very seriously. 1/7
To be clear: Signal’s encryption and infrastructure have not been compromised and remain robust. These attacks were executed via sophisticated phishing campaigns, designed to trick users into sharing information – SMS codes and/or Signal PIN – to gain access to users’ accounts. 2/7
These attacks, like all phishing, rely on social engineering. Attackers impersonate trusted contacts or services (such as the non-existent “Signal Support Bot”) to trick victims into handing over their login credentials or other information. 3/7
To help prevent this, remember that your Signal SMS verification code is only ever needed when you are first signing up for the Signal app. To protect people from such phishing, Signal actively warns users against sharing their SMS code and PIN. 4/7
We also want to emphasize that Signal Support will *never* initiate contact via in-app messages, SMS, or social media to ask for your verification code or PIN. If anyone asks for any Signal related code, it is a scam. We make this clear when users receive their SMS code during initial signup. 5/7
So… mission accomplished then ?
