My uncle is completely blind and was still able to sky dive so idk why this is supposed to be some kind of gotcha.

Julie literally posts videos of herself getting the vaccine to her TikTok. The complete opposite of an antivaxxer

My favorite part is when she tells the supervisor he has the same voice and then continues to talk to him for a few minutes.

US funding for global internet freedom ‘effectively gutted’ Programme that funds groups building tech to evade oppressive government controls under serious threat For nearly two decades, the US quietly funded a global effort to keep the internet from splintering into fiefdoms run by authoritarian governments. Now that money is seriously threatened and a large part of it is already gone, putting into jeopardy internet freedoms around the world. Managed by the US state department and the US Agency for Global Media, the programme – broadly called Internet Freedom – funds small groups all over the world, from Iran to China to the Philippines, who built grassroots technologies to evade internet controls imposed by governments. It has dispensed well over $500m (£370m) in the past decade, according to an analysis by the Guardian, including $94m in 2024. Continue reading...

US funding for global internet freedom ‘effectively gutted’

It isn’t plural. There’s only one son. Please fix your article.

NYT headline that reads. The Trump Administrtaion is Lying to Our Faces. Congress Must Act.

Better.

Just tried to upload a video and got an error message. Doesn’t seem to be any better

Right? Not a single news outlet mentioning the fact that a global platform has not had any new videos on it for the entire day, right after being sold. And the company hasn’t even released a statement.

Instagram is worse than TikTok. So is YouTube. There is no viable alternative at this point in time. It’s been impossible to upload anything to TikTok for the last 10 hours or so. Hopefully it will come back.

Why is no one talking about the fact that TikTok has been down for at least 10 hours?

It appears that nothing new has gone live on the platform today.

This video contains graphic imagery. Eyewitness video shows a US Border Patrol agent shooting and killing a man in Minneapolis on January 24.

NBC NEWS NBC News • @nbcnews.com VIDEO ANALYSIS: Witness videos strike:(appear to) contradict the Trump administration's narrative of Alex Pretti's killing.

Fixed it for you

You don’t use quotes when you’re quoting someone else?

Other top Republicans also expressed alarm as video footage contradicted authorities' claims that Pretti had "violently resisted" attempts to disarm him. "The events in Minneapolis are incredibly disturbing," said Louisiana senator Bill Cassidy, adding that the "credibility" of the

Why aren’t there quotes around “violently resisted” in your screenshot?

i think gavin newsom fucking sucks and if you ever try to guilt me into voting for him i’ll scream

SCOOP: 25 year old shot by ICE doesn't even have a criminal record, despite DHS claims to the contrary

At 6:50 PM CT, federal law enforcement officers were conducting a targeted traffic stop in Minneapolis of an illegal alien from Venezuela who was released into the country by Joe Biden in 2022. In an attempt to evade arrest, the subject fled the scene in his vehicle and crashed into a parked car. The subject then fled on foot. The law enforcement officer caught up to the subject on foot and attempted to apprehend him when the subject began to resist and violently assault the officer. While the subject and law enforcement were in a struggle on the ground, two subjects came out of a nearby apartment and also attack d the law enforcement officer with a snow shovel and broom handle. As the officer was being ambushed and attacked by the two individuals, the original subiect got loose and began striking the officer

The official DHS statement says an officer shot someone because they had a snow shovel.

People shouldn’t be able to avoid seeing this by default. Bluesky is a joke.

Mamdani: For too long, those fluent in the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty

Generating these images is now a huge proportion of what's being asked publicly of Grok on X.

It's generating nonconsensual images of people in revealing clothes, manipulated into sexual poses and otherwise degraded.

Stop participating in that platform.

good luck, can't wait to read it

you can do that but you will have draw a longer line after it

This doesn’t ensure the platform can continue operating, does it? Doesn’t china have to approve?

I think people though he might be announcing a war with Venezuela

This is why we can’t advocate for death with dignity laws in a system incentivized to cut costs by any means necessary.

Australia allows children 12 and up to obtain firearm permits but they need to be at least 16 to post to instagram.

Why doesn’t this have alt text

You’d think the administration of brown university would be at least a little more competent than this.

The New York Times interviewed the woman who crouched down and she said she scared the cat so it darted under the vehicle and that’s when she moved from the front of the car which allowed it to drive off and run over KitKat
