Image claiming to show Renee Nicole Good's car aimed at ICE officer isn't what it seems Credible videos of the shooting showed the wheels of Good's car were turned away from the agent when she moved forward and he shot her.

A ladybird / stubby red cow resting on a purple flower

The Vietnamese word for a ladybird, bọ rùa, means “turtle bug.” The Ukrainian word, сонечко (sonechko), means “little sun.” And the Norwegian word, marihøne, means “Mary’s chicken.” But my favourite word for a ladybird will always be the Welsh buwch goch gota, which I’d translate as “stubby red cow”

this was my first jaunt into coding a little tool with AI (channeling @simonwillison.net ) and it was really fun and frustrating and it didn't take long to grab the wheel and get into "I'm just gonna finish this myself" mode. Overall worth the running start also the world still needs programmers.

Social Security Workers Aren’t Allowed to Read This Story New internet restrictions at the embattled SSA have cut off access to WIRED, along with other “general news” websites like The Washington Post and The New York Times.

NEW: WIRED got IP blocked by the Social Security Administration, among other outlets covering Musk's takeover.

Federal workers are now "prohibited" from accessing our reporting on "government-furnished equipment."

WaPo, NYT, and MSNBC are likewise banned, sources confirm.

Zelenskyy saying US will have to send 'sons and daughters to war' in Ukraine is from old video

French Resistance Steps in After AP Banned From Trump-Macron Presser The Paris Press Corps today ensured that an AP reporter could enter and ask a question.

Breaking down false rumor that France's first lady Brigitte Macron is trans U.S. conservative pundit Candace Owens has repeatedly peddled this falsehood.

For years, a false rumor has spread across the internet that France's first lady, Brigitte Macron, is a trans woman. We unpacked the rumor and its origins here:
