@RebeccaAguilar @YouTube @paramountplus It really needs to be said: Genevieve is hilarious.

[Josh Hedrick @joshfromAL]

@HeedShift @RebeccaAguilar @YouTube @paramountplus It is. Very wry.

South Carolina just passed a law requiring platforms to estimate your age every 100 hours of use, or any time they run their algorithms on you. 80% confidence minimum, $10k fine per wrong guess. The incentive is to collect more data about everyone, including kids.

....but how long before we start seeing releases (and sunsequent reporting) like

For immediate release:
"New Investigation Reveals Handsome and Super-Cool Alabama AG Steve Marshall Also Very Strong, Brave"
Sources report AG can run soooo fast, literally faster than all crime.

@RobinsonCarol mmkay, so what were the outcomes of this municipal election, any indications this alleged ballot harvesting had any impact, whose absentee ballots, context of the AG's touted law in terms of... (cont'd) https://t.co/9oedJ6Rhu9

[Josh Hedrick @joshfromAL]

It does bum me out to consider the biz model of contemporary journalistic endeavors is fundamentally broken (or at least has an inverted incentive structure). So a(n AI-assisted?) rewrite of an office of the AG's press release does make sense as a practical necessity...

dismantle US elections starting with upcoming midterms and remain in power indefinitely, have a clear and documented track record of claiming any electoral loss is the result of cheating/fraud, the future of democracy itself is kinda the stakes here, no?

previously routine (non-detrimental/uncontroversial) get-out-the-vote efforts? Known or predicted impacts on voter turnout? Broader national partisan efforts to chill if not outright suppress voting? Similar laws in other States? When one party is telegraphing intent...(cont'd)

@BradleyOnishi my dude, are you doing a bit with the constant mispronounciations of Jack Posobiec's second name? If so, it's lost its charm. Either way, for the love of (straight, white American) Jesus I am compelled to inform you the pronunciation is 'puh-so-bic.'

@hungrybowtie Pro tip for finding the best Korean food in the area: be soju-drunk and order randomly off the menu of whatever karaoke joint you find yourself in at 2a.m.

[Josh Hedrick @joshfromAL]

@AskTarget Appreciate the prompt response. Will give that number a call and see what they can do, but I gotta be frank that I’m not stoked for this secondary hassle of a maze of touchtone menu prompts and/or robo-telephony…

[Josh Hedrick @joshfromAL]

As much as I can appreciate birthday trolling as a spicy new direction for loyalty program mgmt, could I actually get a redeemable discount code and/or @Target Bucks, please @AskTarget? Diapers and wipes are expensive and every little bit really helps stretch our family budget.

The Art Institute of Atlanta will be permanently closing. The announcement came a week before a new semester was supposed to start.

@IAmJerdog Gives me a degree of solace to be in such stalwart #CCIalumni company as yourself, my friend. I like to think we did some pretty great work at our often intersecting and overlapping ends of the community. On to the next

I do love me some @followerwonk. Glad they've formulated a plan to roll with Twitter's dramatic new API access pricing model.

[Followerwonk @followerwonk]

Followerwonk is currently down. It appears Twitter has suspended our application. A banner on the developer portal page indicates an email was sent with details. We have received no such email.

We have opened a support ticket with Twitter and await a response.
