UC Merced’s Brandi McKuin found that covering California's water canals with solar panels could save as much as about 63 billion gallons of water a year. @TurlockID is now piloting a first-in-the-nation project to test the idea. ucm.edu/uOeoiV via @UofCalifornia

When Amara Strande was just 16, a 15-pound tumor was found embedded in her liver. Nearly the size of a volleyball. She was one of many students at Tartan High School in Oakdale who got cancer. Students joked about the water fountains, saying, “Don’t drink the 3M cancer water.” 🧵

@RMac18: NY Times reporter on Twitter beat
@drewharwell: WaPo reporter on Twitter beat

Free speech!

Reporters who cover Twitter at the NYT, CNN and WaPo, along with a few others, have seen their accounts on Twitter suspended tonight. Appears to be either a purge of tech journos who report on Musk, or a gambit by Musk to create buzz. or both

The same reason the German government wanted a list of all the Jews in Germany in the 1930s. You don’t need to be an elite detective to solve this mystery.
Just months after beginning his attempt to remove transgender youth from their families, Texas AG Ken Paxton attempted to compile a list of every transgender person in the state who had changed the gender marker on their driver's license. No one knows why. washingtonpost.com/nation/20…

Way too many people think that mute and block are adequate. They are nowhere near enough. Trivial example where mute and block don't work: slander.
A life can be utterly ruined by allegations flying and plugging your ears and going lalala doesn't stop it from happening.

As someone who has run online communities for nearly 30 years, principle 2 just doesn't work. Period.
Further, the reason why is evident in the real world.

NEW: Twitter has a plan to force you to opt in to personalized ads to continue using this app. @ZoeSchiffer and me in @platformer:
platformer.news/p/twitters-r…
ALT And it’s not just personalized ads that Twitter plans to require. The company is also considering forcing users to share their location, let Twitter share their data with its business partners, and use contact data phone numbers used in two-factor authentication for ad targeting purposes. (In May, Twitter paid a $150 million fine for doing this without obtaining users consent.)

I want a Hallmark movie about a woman who dumps her bigoted small-town boyfriend, moves to a big city, lands a dream job and discovers the magic of Christmas by living in community with people of different creeds and cultures.

absolutely not surprised that dumbillionaire will freak out about the idea of twitter having proper moderation tools (TWITTER FILES!!1) but then, two seconds later, will happily use those same tools when he needs them

Elon Musk tweeted he would vote for a Republican Congress, he wants Trump back on Twitter, and supports DeSantis. He derides liberals and journalists, cuddles alt-right trolls and conspiracy theories. Where he stands politically remains unclear to The New York Times.
News Analysis: Elon Musk has tweeted about political topics regularly since taking over Twitter, often belittling some liberal causes. But what he stands for remains largely unclear. nyti.ms/3iWE23i
