Somehow not everyone is aware of fact alluded to below. So one more time: John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett were all on GWBush 2000 'Florida Recount' team. (Which made GWB first prez in 112 yrs to 'win' after losing popular vote. Now they 'impartially' rule on our future.)

I’m drawing 76 Black people who freed themselves from enslavement in 1776. This is Gabriel. He escaped with Ben. I’ll post that drawing soon. The foliage in the background is from a recent photo from the bridge where he was last spotted before his escape. That bridge is still in existence today.

the bsky team is working on various ideas for creating smaller social spaces in the app. which use case is most interesting to you? 1. posting into "topics" that organize public posts 2. posting into "communities" or "groups" that can be public or private 3. posting directly to your followers only

So, to recap: a mom became homeless, went to DFCS for housing aid, had her children taken away instead, and was then *billed* for their foster care—leaving her $13k in debt and making it harder to secure the very housing she needed to get them back. Hard to imagine a crueler, more perverse system.

I asked America.gov whether Donald Trump is an adjudicated rapist and it responded: basically, yes so that clears that up at least

Andrea's prompt for America.gov reads "is donald trump an adjudicated rapist" and the bot response is:

In civil litigation brought by writer E. Jean Carroll, a federal jury found Donald Trump liable for sexual abuse and defamation, awarding damages.

Regarding the specific legal term:

The jury did not find him liable for "rape" under the narrow legal definition used in New York penal law at the time, but instead found him liable for "sexual abuse".
The presiding judge later clarified in post-trial rulings that the jury's verdict established that Trump had forcibly sexually assaulted and digitally penetrated her, which meets common understandings of rape even though it did not match the specific statutory elements required for that charge under New York criminal law.

Trump’s new AI website is kinda fun, it turns out.

Can the president use taxpayer funds to air his old campaign ads on TV?

No. Federal appropriations law has long barred using taxpayer funds for political advertising.

It hasn’t rained since June. “The small ditches and even the rivers have dried up, which makes it extremely hard for us to put out the fires. Our only option is to gather at the edges of the plantation or the forest to keep a constant watch on the fire’s progress. It is extremely dangerous.” 🏺🌏🧪🦊🐒

When this little guy arrived at our Ramona Wildlife Center, he was furless and covered in painful scabs caused by severe mange. But thanks to two months of care from our Project Wildlife team, he’s gone from barely looking like a coyote to looking like the fluffy little canid he was meant to be!

Soooooooo. As expected, the guy in that story about Muse doing FB Marketplace deals *had* in fact clicked the permission to "always allow" Muse to do things for him. Still very, very poor design by Meta such that the user didn't understand what permission he was giving...

Update on letting Muse run Facebook Marketplace for me.
So I’ve spoken to
@davidsingleton
and the Muse team tonight and we went through the log to figure out what went wrong. Regarding the address leak. The first thing that popped up from Muse when asking it to handle my Facebook marketplace was an option with ‘Allow One Time’ or ‘Allow Always’. I clicked the latter thinking it would still send approvals to accept offers later down the line (it didn’t so be careful).

By doing that it granted Muse permission to send messages on my behalf going forwards using a template it put together using information it asked from me. Which also included the pickup address that I did give to Muse (again I didn’t think it would send it out to everyone that gave me an offer so it’s worth checking). I mentioned to the meta team it could be easily overlooked as it was with me and they said they will be making this more clear moving forwards.

Regarding the lowball offer situation. It accepted an offer of $600 and sent out my address to a buyer to come collect the item after I strictly set a minimum of $700 with Muse. The Meta team informed me this was an error on their end which caused a display issue removing the ‘7’ from the output to the buyer. And with it stating “Sounds good, 00 it is!” after the buyer asked for $600 it made it look to the buyer like his offer was accepted.

I suggested to Meta that each message sent by Muse should have a little “Sent By Muse” badge underneath so everyone knows it wasn’t sent by a human as there was really no way of knowing who sent what in the chat which is very concerning.
As for the buyer, we made up and he even came by tonight to buy something else. All ended well.
