Illinois is joining a network of the World Health Organization
in hopes of better positioning the state to handle potential health threats,
following the U.S. withdrawal from the group last month.
It’s the state’s latest move into an area that was previously the domain of the federal government,
before the administration began remaking public health policies and guidance.
The Illinois Department of Public Health this week officially joined the World Health Organi…

Headlines this morning: Pam Bondi has ordered the arrest of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort, alleging they were participating as part of a protest.
Lemon and Fort state they were not part of the protest and instead were there as journalists covering the story.
Ordinarily, federal prosecutors would not be involved in investigating & filing charges for a protest. I'd expect the local police and prosecutors to handle that. IANAL

I have the feeling that the world is focusing too much on the energy/oil consequences of the war against Iran and not thinking enough about all the other terrible effects and consequences this war could have, for the region and the world….with Trump making all mistakes possible in handling this war…

In my "Following" tab on Bluesky I now have post from people I don't follow.
I could handle this, it's the way mainstream SN works.
But there a lot of porn in it. That's an issue.
WTF Bluesky? Wanna be worst than X?

I know that following a hashtag is part of the Mastodon protocol itself, but since I'm in @… the majority of the time - it feels like it would be cool to:
- Offer a "follow for a week" / month option
- "We'll ask you when time's up"
mechanism (maybe the ask part is configurable? maybe the client could also just handle it when next it runs?)
I hit this time and time again for moment in time events where during the thick of it, I'm invested and interested - conferences, world news, etc - but after which there's no more signal in the hashtag and it's just detritus putting load on a server somewhere.
Ideally this is something that should be in the protocol itself, but it feels like similar to quote replies that @… could bring a better user experience in advance of adoption of something like that
