I found a ‘dead’ person collecting Social Security in Seattle
“Dead” Ned Johnson turns out to be very much alive. It took him weeks to convince the system he was breathing and to start clawing his benefits back.
The richest man in the world took over $5K out of this guy's bank account, claiming he was dead. The richest man in the world said he was saving money.
He was not dead.

Green card holder from New Hampshire 'interrogated' at Logan Airport, detained
Fabian Schmidt’s family said they are unsure of why he is being held. They said he has a recently renewed green card, and no active issues in court.
ICE stripped a German green card holder naked, drove him from Boston to Vermont to Rhode Island, put him in a cold shower, deprived him of medication, sleep and food until he collapsed.
No one knows why he was detained.

Witchcraft helped my autism
This neurodivergent individual describes their experiences of healing and growing wholeness by practicing witchcraft. The occult community should collect stories like this and communicate them widely. These testimonies speak powerfully to those who don't practice.

Senate votes to strip the CFPB of its power to regulate X
Democrats are demanding oversight of Elon Musk’s financial conflicts.
When I’m trying to explain the dangers of Elon Musk gutting the same agencies that regulate his companies, I could not come up with a better example than “stripping the CFPB of its authority to regulate digital payment systems like the one X plans to roll out soon.” www.theverge.com/news/624904/...

I actually don’t agree with any of you people. I have my own set of morals and policies that are exclusive to me. You’re not even allowed to see them.

A scicomm subtlety here: Is it ever permissible to talk about particles "touching"? What does it mean to "touch" in that context? When you "touch" something with your hand, you're allowing electron interactions to occur. Is there "space" between or not?
(I think the term is fine, in this context.)
