I have had it brought to my attention that Home Movies was at least 3/4 dubbed into Japanese so this is all I've been watching today. It's a great dub.

Looks like the Fifth Circuit sided with the DOJ in that crazy case out of Louisiana blocking the Biden Administration officials from talking to social media companies.
This is the preliminary injunction stuff, but hugely important.

This graph is making the rounds again on other social media sites. It begs the question "Why do men pay off their student loans, but women can't/won't?"
It's not Black history month, but you already know the answer!
Black women are forced to borrow more for their education. Then Black women are paid less when they graduate, even for the same degree.
A disproportionate amount of the $1.7 Trillion of loan debt (not a typo. Trillion. With a "T.") is held by Black women that did everything right)

Started working with these folks in mid-May and not gonna lie, pretty pleased with the progress they've made on INP in such a short span of time.
From a p75 of 4.25s in April (90% of sessions having a poor experience) to a p75 of 225ms in June (9% of sessions have a poor experience).

My union, SAG-AFTRA, is striking in Hollywood. It represents 160K movie and TV actors, as well as about 500 staffers at NPR. We journalists are not part of this strike but we support our fellow union workers!!!! ❤️ ❤️
I was never part of a union before coming to NPR but quickly learned the power of colleagues helping each other to be treated fairly at work!!!

Greetings from California, where a previously unknown 486-legged creature has been discovered.
"The animal boasts 486 legs and a toothy, Predator-style head. It has the greenish translucence of a glow-in-the-dark toy in daylight, and weaves through the soil as elegantly as an embroiderer's needle." #Biology

click-through is a useful metric, combined with others. by itself? not so much. besides converting viewers into site visitors (click-through is a conversion rate in that context), one must also convert site visitors into site buyers [of a product or an ideology or (possibly dis/mis)information etc].
there are many key-metric conversion rates to which one should attend, with both context and visitor-engagement-goal as critical/central to understanding what is going on.

‘Unite reps said the charity is telling workers that it can’t afford to give them a pay rise, without being transparent about why… “The reason why they are secret is also a secret.”
“I suggested that slashing real wages was not the only way to control costs, and that St Mungo’s needs stronger financial governance generally,” said Sanders.
At this point, Sanders said Haddad replied: “Good, get that off your chest if it helps. It’s all absolute crap.”’

This is a port of the @freedomofpress Twitter bot "FOIAFeed" to the fediverse.
It will soon start posting excerpts from news articles that make use of the Freedom of Information Act and other public records laws. These are often high impact investigations.
Currently it only monitors US-based news outlets. Credit to @xor for the original Twitter bot code :)
Please feel free to ping @harris or @eloquence if the bot is behaving badly. Humans signing off :)
