  • The wording is also extremely suspicious. “We can confirm that, again, according to family and people that we’ve interviewed, he does come from [a conservative family], but his ideology was very different than his family,”

    They don’t specifically say he’s on the left, just that his ideology is very different. I think if they even thought he is on the left they’d say it clearly.

    Does he actually say that the shooter was on the left or is this just the media making the assumption based on the comment that his ideology was very different from his families’?

    I think US customs said it was because he admitted to using drugs in the past and had photos of a paraphernalia on his phone. He said they ignored that stuff and focused on the photo. So it comes down to whether you think one specific customs employee could potentially see something they don’t like and choose to refuse entry for another reason or that customs is being honest and open about the reason his entry was refused and that the people making the announcement fully understand the situation (including the thoughts of the person that examined the photos).

    I feel like the latter is unlikely, but I don’t have enough evidence to say either way. I don’t think drug paraphernalia in a photo or admitting past drug use are good reasons to refuse entry either.

    I know there’s been a campaign for years about seasonal depression, but lack of sleep causes depression too and if it’s only dark for 5.5 hours I’m probably getting about that much sleep and I’m probably waking a few times during it to sigh and turn over. Unless there’s AC and the light is 100% blacked out (not a speck peeking over or around the curtain).

    Her punishment should be at least as bad as the sentences rioters served for breaking into the U.S. capitol. Or maybe that should be the cap since her actions didn’t result in death and weren’t intended as an attempt at insurrection (unless someone that owns Tesla is now considered the head of government).





  • Honestly, I don’t want age signals sent at all. As long as I (the parent) can use parental controls to limit app access, that’s all that matters. Give users the option to deny ad personalization and that protects children from ad personalization. Companies don’t need to know anyone’s age. Meta is pushing for more data, but this feels like an underhanded way to take a middle road that gives Google more data (but not as much as Meta wants). We should take the high road and tell them both to butt out.


  • The site is also set up so users get recommended images to pin to their own boards. What’s not clear is that when that happens, Pinterest seems to assume some sort of shared ownership. So if the original image is removed, anyone that pinned it is suddenly counted as the new owner.

    I had pinned images to one of my boards that I used to keep a board of art that I liked, thinking it was like bookmarking. Then I started getting emails saying I had violated copyright because Pinterest couldn’t tell the difference between me pinning something it recommended that I pin and me uploading an image.

    I went into my boards and saw that some of the art I had pinned (I uploaded nothing) had changed to look as though I was the original uploader and/or owner.

    I deleted everything and quit the site after that.
