Never heard of 'em so that shows how old I am, ha. Looks like tons of fun!

Good morning Mastodonians! Here’s the view I’ll be missing after I move out of my home of the last 4.5 years … Pink & orange dawn clouds on the purple sky!

North Dakota county official, David Lym, and his well-known photographer wife Karoline, have both been arrested for sex crimes & child abuse.

"Misinformation often continues to influence people’s reasoning even after it has been corrected...One frequently recommended but hitherto insufficiently tested strategy is source discreditation... In two experiments, we tested whether immediate source discreditation could reduce people’s subsequent reliance on fictional event-related misinformation...
discreditation alone was effective, but less effective than a correction, with the combination of both most effective."

ermmm..... "all the propositions in alphabetical order"??

I'm guessing PREPositions, and for that, there's a different poem, by Morris Bishop:

Lately I lost a preposition
It hid, I thought, beneath my chair.
Angrily I cried, "Perditition!
Up from out of in under there!"

Correctness is my vade mecum,
And straggling phrases I abhor. And yet I wonder, “What should he come Out from out of in under for?”

My first Waymo ride. I've been checking out FSD for a long time and all I can say is that Tesla is so far behind it's not even funny anymore. Waymo is easily handling LA's busy traffic while Tesla routinely shits all over itself even in benign suburban streets.

WOW. How did I not hear about this? A law went into effect in Illinois on July 1:

The law requires parents to set up a trust fund for their child if they earn income from their child’s likeness.

A social media user who makes money from content uploaded to YouTube, Twitter, TikTok, or another platform that features a child in 30% or more of their content must set aside 15% of the gross earnings from the video content into a trust.

Added to that: The law also allows the child to request the deletion of any content they were featured in upon turning 18. If the parent does not follow the law, the minor may sue for damages.
