The Flesh-Eating Drug Taking Over San Francisco, America | Documentary youtu.be/YJH6N58gSzk?si=DSf4… via @YouTube. The story is not about any one drug per se. Zero enforcement. Programs that don’t work yet keep getting funded. Massive inflows of people from other states,why?

𝕏 just terminated the EU Commission's ad account The same EU Commission that fined 𝕏 for so-called “deceptive design” quietly logged into its dormant 𝕏 ads account and exploited an ad format - posting a link that deceives users into thinking it's a video, to artificially boost its own reach It had never been abused like this before

Hey @HomeDepot solving your shoplifting problem by forcing customers to take plastic bags with each purchase… Two wrongs don’t make a right. Inserting that much plastic into the environment for no reason is wrong. Just check receipts at the door like @Costco

What a fantastic, mic-drop response to this question which, thankfully, fewer and fewer people ask nowadays.

What's that document called that gives Americans the right to assemble? Speech? Well, whatever that things is called, I'm pretty sure it was written to avoid such slippery slopes. Bravo, Master Chief.

I know it's odd, but I just love statistics and @StatistaCharts. This chart is timely as both Facebook and Twitter increasingly employ "fact checkers". Again, while good intentioned....still, chilling.
Replying to @RSF_en
@RSF_en has a very catchy name and recently released the 2020 #pressfreedomindex. #Scandinavia seems to be at the top of lots of lists, must be something in the icy water. Full story by @uisceglas statista.com/chart/13640/pre…
And to be clear, I would not personally go to a rally - any rally - right now. If I did, I'd wear a mask. But...

Pass a law, implement a rule, enforce the law or rule. Great. However, don't shut down reporting of people's actions. Scary. More scary? A public company censoring....

Another sobering reflection post #InternationalWomensDay
According to a report from @WorldBank, just 8 countries have full equal rights for women. Good news - 87 out of 194 countries ranked 80% or above. Bad news: All countries are not at 100%. #genderequality #EachforEqual #InternationalWomensDay statista.com/chart/17290/cou…
