OMG I almost got scammed by a fake account on X lol Someone was posing as a TechCrunch journalist. They told me to schedule a call with them through their calendar link which leads you to the API page below. They’re followed by so many mutuals so I almost fell for it. Look at their profile name.

Is there a fired feds feed? A deportation feed? A protest feed? A litigation feed? BlueSky has so much potential. Where are the smart activists leveraging it?

Feels like as good a time as any to re-share this t-shirt I made a few years back. To be fair, I had a smaller scope of things in mind that needed fixing at the time. cottonbureau.com/p/E6HKY2/shi...

You’ll never see this but that doesn’t matter. Thank you to my wonderful fellow passengers, on the very delayed flight from JFK to Miami (LA 6543) this morning, who let me skip the line to make a dash for my connection. It worked.

Okay what is going on here. Are the accounts at a private banking entity? Does the federal government have direct debit permission set up? So many questions as to how Treasury instructed this payment. (Via NY Post’s Craig McCarthy)

Found out that TWENTY emails is considered a lot to politicians on an issue. TWENTY. As in, they call that getting slammed. So next time you see a request to email your rep, or call, keep that in mind. TWENTY is a lot.

I am allowed one useless outage tweet every quarter and I’m using it to express dismay at the Musk takeover. It’s not even one of the many continuingly updated stories at the NYT. I’m finding reporting at @404media.co and @wired.com. (Reporting, not takes, is what we need)
