Meta is facing an antitrust trial in April. The company has lots of other business before the U.S. government. And Trump once threatened to send Zuckerberg to prison for "the rest of his life." That's just some of the background for today's big Meta announcements...

It's just so tricky to figure out if vaccines work or not

Let's look at polio.

The data isn't clear

We may never know

TIME magazine made a terrible mistake in failing to nominate Gisèle Pelicot for person of the year. Her stand is, I think, changing societal views about sexual stigma – all done in the hope that future victims won't ever feel ashamed about coming forward again. It's breathtaking

LOL..Charlie Brown's teacher is exactly what subway announcements sound like.

[Sara Ackerman 🐺🗽 @saramikaila]

@james_f_thomas This has happened to me multiple times on the F train. They just love to skip stops when they are running late, and while they probably announced it, we all know the announcements sound like Charlie Brown's teacher so I rarely catch what they are saying.

Been there. Done that. Par for the course for the NYC subway system.

[yolkito @yolko0no]

got on a train marked C that announced itself as an E train running on the F train line

[Committee to Protect Journalists @pressfreedom]

Photojournalists covering U.S. election-related events generally have to be in the thick of the action, so are at more risk. To protect themselves, photojournalists should:

✅ Have someone watching their back
✅ Remember to look up from their viewfinder every few seconds
✅ Not wear camera straps around their neck to avoid the risk of strangulation
✅ Minimize the time they spend in the crowd

A wonderful story in the @nypost tonight! Lucali owner Mark Iacono’s act of kindness ended up saving his friend Theo’s life when he desperately needed a kidney.

Be sure to read about how Theo met his hero Rusty 🙏

If I was Lego, I would release a special set of Jimmy Carter building a house for Habitat for Humanity and raise the age to 100 just for that set. All profits go to Habitat for Humanity. Total missed opportunity.

Gov. Walz to Vance: "Did he lose the 2020 election?"

Vance: "Tim, I'm focused on the future…"

Walz: "That is a damning non-answer."

Correction JD Vance: The vast majority of school shooters get their guns from their own home or the home of relatives, not from the cartel. #VPDebate

[Olivia of Troye @OliviaTroye]

Let me be very clear: As a Homeland Security Advisor in the Trump White House, I witnessed firsthand how Donald Trump politicized disaster relief, leaving devastated Americans waiting for help. Leaders across the country & government were calling my office, desperate for action as Trump failed them in moments of crisis. Today, he's once again failing Americans by distorting the facts & spreading lies. The reality? The Biden-Harris Administration is stepping up in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene with decisive leadership & a swift, effective response.

“I wish God hadn’t made me a girl, for we’ve become so unfortunate. I regret being born a girl; we are valued less than animals, who enjoy more freedom than we do,” says an Afghan girl living under the Taliban.

When you think of hurricanes, we usually think about the destruction they cause near the coastlines. Asheville is far, far inland, and these are the scenes from #TropicalStormHelene #HurricaneHelene
