I don't know if this is the same site but these sites seem to specialize in nightmare fuel. This looks like what Furiosa would wear if she went to PT.

That burning toast smell is my US History education going up in smoke.

While Article II, Section 2 of the Constitution spells out that "the President shall be commander in chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the militia of the several states,
" only Congress has the
power to declare war, as an enumerated power under Article I, Section 8, Clause

Devastating news on top of everything else this weekend. www.livescience.com/32974-punxsu...

the Punxsutawney Area Chamber of Commerce, which keeps track of these things, doesn't know what happened to Phil during those years. Data from the Stormfax Almanac's data shows that Phil's six-week prognostications have been correct about 39% of the time, so less than chance. And a 2012 to 2021 study revealed that Phil was right only 40% of the time, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Centers for Environmental Information. - from Live Science

Welp. YouTube Shorts, you ready for this?

A screenshot of TikTok saying: Sorry, TikTok isn't available right now
A law banning TikTok has been enacted in the U.S. Unfortunately, that means you can't use TikTok for now.

We are fortunate that President Trump has indicated that he will work with us on a solution to reinstate TikTok once he takes office. Please stay tuned!

In the meantime, you can still download your data..."

I wonder how today’s SCOTUS ruling is going to go? The groundwork for Meta to reap the rewards has been going on for years.

The Washington Post article with the headline “Facebook paid GOP firm to malign TikTok”

The firm, Targeted Victory, pushed local operatives across the country to boost messages calling TikTok a threat to American children. "Dream would be to get stories with headlines like 'From dances to danger,' " one campaign director said.

Facebook parent company Meta is paying one of the biggest Republican consulting firms in the country to orchestrate a nationwide campaign seeking to turn the public against TikTok.

I don't know why Bluesky needs to do this to links. Exit intent popups are usually used on shopping sites to keep you. If I had to guess with the most generous intent about the @safety.bsky.app team, perhaps these embedded links from @techmeme.com might be perceived as user protection? Anyone know?
