Another day, another pizza. Homemade dough, whipped feta base with pesto, artichoke bruschetta, italian sausage, red onion and mozz. Not the prettiest, but very good! #pizzasky #foodsky #breadsky

Screenshot of a Democracy Docket article featuring an excerpt of Kamala Harris’s remarks at the National Urban League conference. It reads: “For former Vice President Kamala Harris, figuring out how to restore the hobbled Voting Rights Act (VRA) is not something that voters and lawmakers should be focused on right now. 

“I honestly don’t believe that it will be any time soon that we are going to revive the Voting Rights Act,” said Harris at the National Urban League conference on Friday. “I don’t believe that is going to be the best use of our energy right now, to try to get that done. Because I don’t know that it’s going to get done right now, the way this Congress is composed and the way they have been treating civil rights issues.”

The female cop giving this man a pep talk during his arrest really says everything. He is not the fucking victim here ffs. 🙃
Screenshot of a portion of the linked article in the quoted post. It is white text on black background and reads: “404 Media also obtained footage from when Roman was arrested several days later at his home. The footage shows that Roman was allowed to make several phone calls before being arrested as he loiters on the sidewalk. Eventually, he is handcuffed and put in the back of a police SUV. Moeller tells him “Roman, I’m sorry man, it is what it is, we’re here now. But remember what I said. It’s a speed bump, OK? In the scheme of things, you’ll get past this bro. Alright, I wish you the best of luck. Keep your head up man.””

Truly. I live and die by this. Less ingredient waste because you spend the whole week actually using everything up. And you can still get plenty of variety *within* each cuisine. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Rural counties are bearing this burden invisibly.

Marion County’s approval came just weeks after developers proposed a similar complex in another majority-Black rural county in Colleton County, South Carolina. The Colleton County complex came to be after developers first tried — and then failed — to place it in a predominantly white rural community where residents organized fierce resistance and filed lawsuits to block the project.

Completely infuriating and the weaponization of NDAs is deeply nasty work. capitalbnews.org/secret-data-...
Text reads: “As a rare winter storm bore down on South Carolina, bringing conditions that historically paralyze the state for days, local officials in a rural county quietly pushed through a massive $2.4 billion data center without most residents knowing it was even on the table.”Text reads: “There was a public meeting, which most were unaware of,” Jessie Chandler, a resident of rural Marion County, told Capital B, referring to a Jan. 22 council meeting. “I know legally they had to announce the public meeting within a certain time frame for all of us to attend, but most of the county [was] preparing for this winter storm, which we know firsthand will affect us all because it has before.”Text reads: “Marion County officials confirmed that the council signed a nondisclosure agreement, which barred their ability to make the data center public. On the agenda prior to the council meeting, the line item for the vote was called “Project Liberty,” but it did not list details of the project.

The pattern residents of this majority-Black rural county are experiencing is not isolated.”Text reads: “Across the country, developers are using NDAs to keep projects hidden while systematically choosing communities — often majority-Black rural counties — with less organized political and economic power. Marion County is no different. The area has a poverty and unemployment rate that is twice as high as the U.S. average.”

The original tweet states: “Yeah, nano banana is gonna kill instagram.” The quote tweet is by @jxwaly and states: “We have to live our lives,” they say in response to taking COVID precautions, as they create false photographs of a life they aren’t living.”

Screen shot of a Variety article headline dated Oct 6, 2025 3:24pm PT. It reads: “Robin Williams’ Daughter Tells Fans to ‘Stop Sending Me AI Videos of Dad’: It’s ‘Gross’ and ‘Not What He’d Want’

By Zack Sharf”Screenshot of a quote by the late Robin Williams’s daughter, Zelda Williams. It reads: “Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad,” Zelda wrote. “Stop believing I wanna see it or that I’ll understand, I don’t and I won’t. If you’re just trying to troll me, I’ve seen way worse, I’ll restrict and move on. But please, if you’ve got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It’s dumb, it’s a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it’s NOT what he’d want.”Screenshot of Zelda Williams quote from the Variety article. It reads: “To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to ‘this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that’s enough’, just so other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening,” she continued. “You’re not making art, you’re making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else’s throat hoping they’ll give you a little thumbs up and like it. Gross.”

Post via Thread by Adam Mosseri. It reads: “We are rebalancing ranking to prioritize content from people you follow, which will mean less recommended content from accounts you don’t follow and more posts from the accounts you do starting today. For you creators out there, you should see unconnected reach go down and connected reach go up. This is definitely a work in progress – balancing the ability to reach followers and overall engagement is tricky – thanks for your patience and keep the feedback coming.”
