After 404 Media's months-long reporting and pressure from lawmakers, the data broker owned by the U.S.’s major airlines will now shut down a program in which it sold access to hundreds of millions of flight records to the government and let agencies track peoples’ movements without a warrant.

"Teens may have come up with a new way to detect, treat Lyme disease using CRISPR gene editing." But the Trump administration cut the money (granted to pursue the research), claiming it fell under DEI – diversity, equity and inclusion www.cbsnews.com/news/teens-m...

I do not like the fact that Iowa State's just letting Oklahoma State hang around.

JUST FLUSH THE ENTIRE SPECIAL TEAMS COACHING STAFF (except kickers and punters). #BlueCy

Northwestern’s leaders will likely try to justify their choice to appease fascist extortion with some BS about needing to help researchers get federal funds that were illegally withheld, so it’s important to note that virtually all of the researchers said not to.

This is just gutter racism and it’s a standard that would never be applied to say, the descendants of Italian immigrants who fled the lawlessness of Southern italy post unification and now staff this fascist administration bsky.app/profile/publ...

So I got to see Wicked: For Good today, and really enjoyed it! Movie is good, although the new songs didn't really add anything and it was longer than it needed to be. But oh my goodness, I did get a reminder as to why going to the movies is such a crap shoot.

the Doug Mills video embedded in the NYT Trump aging story is pretty amazing

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture. They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

Of course he got hurt in the second half and is now day-to-day. #bluecy

Tamin Lipsey is so good and so special, yet I am constantly filled with anxiety that his bones will turn to dust mid-game. And he would probably keeping playing, or at least try! #bluecy

A year ago, flyers promoting vaccines were prevalent across the Navajo Nation. But as Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has put his stamp on federal immunization policy, the Indian Health Service’s messaging on immunizations has taken a stark turn. By @maryhudetz.bsky.social

Lol, Iowa is going to lose to Michigan State.

How is Jalon Daniels still in college? #bluecy

At the Iowa State game right now, and I got to say, the helmet cart race seems exceedingly difficult. And why does the helmet cart start ahead of the person? #bluecy

This story is nuts. "ICE agents then surrounded the judge’s car and demanded everyone to exit the vehicle, threatening to smash in the windows if they did not comply."

Cannot get over how bad the meta AI commercial is. Why do you need your AI glasses to tell you whether or not you should wear a jacket?

Exclusive: The U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify the swastika, nooses and the Confederate flag as hate symbols. The military service drafted a new policy that classifies them as “potentially divisive.”

Now THIS???? is a white man! this is how you white man!!!!!!!!!

The facts are complicated, but here’s a summary of what appears to have happened based on the filings and today’s hearing:

And Matt Campbell has just announced that Burkle is done for the year, having surgery. #bluecy

People coming to bluesky because twitter is broke

So my student worker didn't show up, but thankfully(?) neither have any other students, so right now I'm all alone in the library. It is a little unsettling!

How has the 49ers kicker managed to miss not 1 but 2(!) extra points today?

in the actual real world secret police are disappearing americans on behalf of an openly white nationalist government but george packer’s latest is a novel about a world beset by woke totalitarianism

i’d be more comfortable with the olivia nuzzi coverage if every story was headlined something like “seduced by a guy who eats roadkill: the story of an extremely stupid lady”

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric

yes I have been “tried for war crimes” (forced to use Microsoft Teams in the workplace)

In the second part of A System of Harm, a three-part examination of failures in New Hampshire's care system for people with disabilities, @willskipworth.bsky.social introduces the Wiedlich family and their painful story that began at edge of the disability cliff. #NHPolitics

There's a lot of bad shit out there but seeing the Northern lights from my driveway is pretty cool

Every time someone’s like “put that in the louvre,” my head now goes “and then steal it from the louvre, the security password is louvre”

Me seeing Tamin come out:

Speaking of Tamin, why is a our somewhat breakable star point guard still in the game with a lead of 20? This is a long season, give this man a rest. #bluecy

Wait, did the ESPN announcers just refer to Tamin as a junior? 🤔

Texting with my sister, as apparently the sorority sister of some her friends was hit by a car and killed a few days ago. She and her husband have four little kids, I cannot even imagine. Just absolutely devastating.

I wish I was watching tonight's basketball game, but John and Eric are a suitable alternative, considering I refuse to give Disney a single additional $. #BlueCy

"Like an ancient cyborg culling through the ruins of a post-apocalyptic planet (twitter, derogatory), Joyce Carol Oates recently fired her full-power death ray at aspiring trillionaire Elon Musk."

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it. Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

We rode up the elevator with member of the New York Giants and he wished my mom a happy birthday and all I could think was. "What a nice young man."

Apparently we are staying at the same hotel as NY Giants, and I have to say that you forget just how large these guys are until you see them in person

The defense is doing as much as could possibly be asked of them. But the offense sure isn't. #BlueCy

Rocco Becht is broken, and I can't tell if it's the yips or something else. #BlueCy

Love the montage of Iowa State just dropping passes 😭😭 #bluecy

Gotta say, I’m not so confident that you do

There are no words for how evil this is

NEW: Billions of pounds of food are imported to the U.S. each year. The FDA inspects foreign producers to ensure what we're eating is safe from pathogens and dangerous manufacturing practices. But now, after Trump's drastic staff cuts, these inspections have plummeted to a historic low. 🧵/
