Maybe? But so close to DC?

That's what it looked like, but there's nothing on that site scheduled for today unless I'm missing it

Whatever they are they're now flying back the other way, higher and more spread out

I need someone to tell me what this is. Long string of lights following each other near the DC border.

Read the room, Verizon.

My coworker (a tech minimalist to the extreme): why do you need a good camera on your phone? Do you really need photos?
Me: ... Have you seen clouds?

If you're not using freaking cold temps to freeze bubbles, what are you even doing with your life.

That does not surprise me at all.

Just saw a guy in a sweatshirt, no coat. Meanwhile this is me.

I'm already tired. This isn't a good sign.

ICE is planning immigration raids starting Tuesday. Please amplify.

Thank goodness the TikTok ban is in effect and now no one can ever use my data for nefarious purposes.

The "why are people upset about losing a silly dancing app" rhetoric is not only profoundly incorrect and shows a lack of understanding about the platform, it also reeks of the disdain society shows for things girls and young women like. Even if it was just dancing, people can grieve something fun.

Sen. Romney links TikTok ban to pro-Palestinian content Critics say his remarks belie the "national security" motive and expose free speech suppression.

Reminder that Mitt Romney explicitly said the rationale behind the tiktok ban was pro Palestinian content. The renewed push last year was explicitly to help Israel conduct a genocide without scrutiny on social media.

Imperial boomerang in action.

The real question is if goosechats will be joining us

Just a reminder of some of the context around the TikTok ban: In 2020, Trump tried to ban it via executive order a couple months after K-pop fans used it to organize fake signups to Trump’s Tulsa rally, which led him to publicly overestimate how large the crowd size would be.

Yup. And they wonder why we don't trust institutions

Welp, here we are.

I mean, yes, that's probably somewhat because of who I follow over here, but I didn't have to worry about following over there. It just served me the right content

I'm sad and all of the discourse over here is missing the snark and sarcasm and fun of TikTok.

The fact that Tyson's has not cleared entire lanes 9 days after our snow, causing traffic to back up on the interstate, is inexcusable.

Remember when Zuck and Elon were going to fight? I think in the Colosseum for extra pretentiousness? All the Meta announcements and Zuck's podcast quotes make me think we're just in round two of that, this time using social platforms.

If this happens I will delete my account so fast

I really need someone with tech and government contacts to tell me the reactions to the REDnote news.

Sorry the link “autocorrected” incorrectly, thanks AI. The link is bit.ly/placeAD (link sensitive)

If TikTok actually gets banned, what I'm going to miss is: a. That people over there are genuinely helpful. I ask a question, strangers reply with useful info. B. It lets people be their weird glorious self. C. I've discovered so many small businesses. D. I've learned so much about other communities

“Kind of disheartening to see people in the comments celebrating a man who is on video assaulting his wife and another who was recently convicted of rape,” one employee commented, referring to White and McGregor. “I can kind of excuse individuals for being unaware, but Meta surely did their due diligence on White and concluded that what he did is fine. I feel like I’m on another planet,” another employee commented. “We have completely lost the plot,” a third said.

New from 404 Media: Facebook is deleting internal employee criticism of its new board hire UFC president and CEO Dana White. Facebook also deleting internal employee posts asking why the first ones deleted www.404media.co/facebook-del...

The rush of basically every institution to go right wing as fast as possible, isn't actually indicative of a huge swing in the sentiment of their ostensible audience, it's just revealing that they kind of wanted to the whole time.

What is the Gaza Strip? The Gaza Strip is a small area bordering Israel and Egypt on the Mediterranean Sea. It's one of two Palestinian territories. More than 2 million people live in Gaza, making it "one of the world's most densely populated territories," according to Gisha, an Israeli nongovernmental organization. A map below shows population density from low to high, featuring areas West-East from Cairo, Egypt all the way up to Beirut, Lebanon.

In its war with Hamas, Israel has ordered a siege on the Gaza Strip, one of the world’s most densely populated and impoverished territories.
