Thread worth reading if only b/c of how much of it, by volume, is people saying “the way GLP-1 meds are marketed/talked about is undoing decades of what was already achingly incremental progress on fighting cultural fatphobia and thin people are being more fucked up about fatness than ever”

Lots of fun factoids in this dashboard. Like: the Strandherd park and ride sees 21 per cent usage of its spaces; it takes an hour to get downtown by transit from there. Driving takes half that at peak traffic time. You would save on downtown parking, but at the cost of an hour of your day.

amid protests, the Grand Saline, TX city council voted 4–1 to evict Pip, the library cat, over scratching & biting. He'll now live with the librarian. a cat was installed in public office, performed public service, & was removed for being a cat. this is injustice. this is a crime. Justice for Pip!

Pip, a black-and-white cat wearing an orange collar, stands on a dark patterned carpet, looking upward with wide, alert eyes. His ears are perked up, his tail is raised, and he has a small black heart-shaped marking on his nose.

NEW: The head of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has issued a statement firmly condemning plans to livestream the execution of Nidal Malik Hasan. Archbishop Paul Coakley calls the decision “a barbaric promotion of a culture of death and must be reconsidered.” www.usccb.org/news/2026/us...

Catholic Bishops
READINGS
WASHINGTON - Yesterday, the U.S.
Department of War announced that the firing squad execution of Nidal Hasan, the man convicted of killing 13 people and injuring 32 at Fort Hood, Texas in 2009, would be publicly livestreamed. Archbishop Paul S. Coakley, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops issued the following statement sharply condemning the decision of the U.S. government:
"It is with shock and great sorrow that I have learned of the Department of War's decision to publicly livestream the execution of Nidal Hassan. Our God is the God of life. In no way can Hassan's actions be condoned but this decision is a barbaric promotion of a culture of death and must be reconsidered. The word of God exhorts us: 'do not repay anyone evil for evil' (Romans 12:17). The public execution even of one who has done grave harm will only further undermine the moral fabric of our nation and be a blight on the conscience of its people.

A key component of the Cambridge Analytica outrage was your friends subjecting you to data theft without your consent or knowledge. Facebook is running the same playbook on your text messages. Even if you’re not on Meta properties, they’re ingesting your interactions.

Aten installed Muse on both his iPhone and a Mac mini that he uses to test out various Al agents and tech. It took Meta a single day to begin "helpfully" pitching article ideas based on texts he'd sent to a podcast co-host.
When he asked Muse how it got the information, it said that it read banners from incoming texts. But that's not true, either.
After doing a little digging, Aten says Muse synced 187,000 lines from his Messages database, despite Full Disk Access being Off.

Unless Aten is the most popular person on the face of the planet, I sincerely doubt he'd gotten 187,000 lines of text in roughly 24 hours. What happened is that, without permission, Muse went into the app and downloaded the information.
He had not given Muse permission to access Messages, and full disk access was not enabled. It just went ahead and uploaded those texts anyway.
Muse can take "unexpected actions" indeed.

Some of the most horrific and vile Jew-hatred happens in diaspora languages, including Arabic, Urdu, Farsi and Punjabi. Our government must give police additional resources so they can properly monitor extremist social media channels and radical influencers inside Canada who communicate in other languages.

LOL, the gotcha part in the second paragraph is truly hilarious. Who will think of the straight white rightwing men in the literary world? WHO? WHO?

Last week, the longlists for the National Book Awards were announced. Among the 20 authors in the fiction and nonfiction categories, nearly all are straight white males. Most are also on the political right, some even on the far right. Remarkably, mainstream media outlets haven’t reported this, perhaps because they don’t think it’s noteworthy. It’s as if we were living in 1956 rather than 2026.

If you’re scratching your head at this “news,” well, it’s because I made it up. Or rather, I inverted the particulars about the authors’ identities and their political views to make a point: If today, as a reader, you recoil at the thought of a time in which minorities were systematically marginalized when it came to the literary world’s public honors (and so much else), shouldn’t you also recoil now that the tables have been almost completely turned? And if you object to the right’s efforts to politicize the arts, won’t you also object when the efforts come from the left?

His 2.5% tax increases are not covering police budget increases at about 4.4% a year on average. 2026 was 6.7%? So what is the police budget going to be in 2027 with Sutcliffe in charge, and, where is he nickel and diming the other things we need in the name of “#SafetyTheatre”?
