YouTube video by BBC Global People Are Partying Less. Here’s Why That’s Worrying. | BBC Global

Loved seeing @profgalloway.com on BBC talking about the dangers of younger Americans being less social & partying far less than older generations. At 42, I am always seeing my younger friends (21-30) staying inside more & direct correlations to more of them being depressed. youtu.be/Umc1adOQ-r8?...

Every single word of this!

US Air Force to deny retirement pay to transgender service members being separated from the service The U.S. Air Force has decided to deny early retirement options for transgender service members with 15 to 18 years of service.

These Americans served with honor for more than a decade. Put their lives on the line. Trump fired them, just for being who they are-and now is denying retirement benefits our nation promised them for their service.

Treating troops this way is dishonorable, unfair, & harmful to national security.

When you arrive home 2 hours late..

Reminder that I AM LATINA AND PROUD. I am the product of immigration - my grandmother was undocumented and entered the country from Mexico as a baby. My mother was a fierce, gorgeous Latina woman of Mexican and Spanish descent.

Happy June 2nd, everyone! It’s time for Marsha P Johnson on the Gay of the Day! Love and share! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 #pride #pridemonth #lgbtq #lgbtqia #gay

Biosolids Digester Facilities Project at the Southeast Treatment Plant.

🏗️Seismic resilience is also a strategic priority for the SFPUC’s Wastewater Capital Improvement Plan. These long-term infrastructure improvements include investing billions of dollars to upgrade the earthquake resilience of critical facilities at the Southeast Treatment Plant.

Bay Corridor Transmission and Distribution Project.

⚡️We recently completed the new Bay Corridor Transmission and Distribution Project, which is built to modern seismic safety standards and provides electricity to buildings in the Mission Rock area and southeast San Francisco.

🔧We are upgrading some of the oldest water pipelines in SF using state-of-the-art technology to protect residents after an earthquake. This allows crucial water supplies to continue flowing to customers when they need it most.

Proud to have written this piece for the #SFPUC about the anniversary of the 1906 EQ and the importance of designing seismic resilience into the billions of dollars of investment the agency is spending on upgrading the entire #SF wastewater system to survive the new big Bay Area earthquake!

FAA Leader Quit Before D.C. Plane Crash—Thanks to Elon Musk The world’s richest man apparently thought it was a good idea to bully the Federal Aviation Administration chief out of his job.

"FAA Leader Quit Before D.C. Plane Crash—Thanks to Elon Musk"

If you're looking to deport an immigrant who killed Americans, we found one.

@corybooker.com hello I used to run the Wendy’s Twitter account and I am begging you to let me help you with the dems social media strategy, I will literally do it for free at this point

He's not blaming DEI, he's blaming women and non white people.

“Nepo pissbaby” is my new favorite insult. Such a sick burn from @deadmau5.com. Honestly, I didn’t know he had it in him, but makes me so happy to have a Canadian ally like him in the resistance.

So. The Potomac Crash

It wasn't DEI.

It was DOGE.

Not your first crash, right, Elon Musk?

If you end the Veterans Suicide Prevention program you support Veterans dying by suicide.

Donald Trump supports Veteran suicide.

Hundreds of Subreddits Are Considering Banning All Links to X Dozens of big subreddits have already banned all Twitter links, and posts about potential bans are some of the most popular on the site.

New from 404 Media: hundreds of subreddits, including some of the most popular, are considering banning all links/content/screenshots from X/Twitter. r/NFL, r/hockey, r/baseball, r/nba, r/formula1, r/ComicBookMovies, r/MadeMeSmile, so many more. Some already have. www.404media.co/hundreds-of-...

I have and will continue to. But you know why I say it here ? Because @bsky.app is 30m strong and growing quickly. The collective wisdom and influence of users here is far greater than any individual democrat.

I can't say it enough. Bluesky can be the influence that can counter RW media.

Green really dominated this year

Australia Bans Social Media for Everyone Under 16 The law sets a minimum age for users of platforms like TikTok, Instagram and X. How the restriction will be enforced online remains an open question.

I see Australian politicians have been listening to @scottgalloway.bsky.social & @karaswisher.bsky.social’s latest episodes of @pivotpod.bsky.social lately! I hope the US is next. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/28/w...

I didn’t do it in rage. I did it in resignation. I think for many people it was the final straw that broke the social media camel’s back. It was time to go. It was just the final push to get many of to finally leave that sinking ship full of hate and racism.

A lot of folks are giving up in advance. Capitulating before a single skirmish.

Well, not this old warrior. I’ve seen much worse from the U.S. government in my day. I’m concerned for our country, but not a bit scared of these miscreants. I’m ready to do my part.

Who’s with me?

Stolen valor ☠️😂

Howdy. Does 5’8” still make the cut?

Fortune headline: Elon Musk’s AI turns on him, labels him ‘one of the most significant spreaders of misinformation on X.’

Well, at least it got that one right.
