Folks, this is really REALLY bad. This has nothing to do with drug cartels or money laundering. This is how they are going to target and identify immigrants. People sending money home or receiving these small amounts will have their names and addresses submitted to FinCEN on the CTR's.

This is probably just a test since it is limited to 30 zip codes, but that will absolutely be expanded across the US. I'm not being hyperbolic about this. /1

Every.
Single.
Word.
Of.
This.

So horrible and hysterical at the same time.

"“Can the US win?” Trump asked at one point, interrupting Infantino, who ignored the question."

"Then the Swiss handed Trump an official match ball with the latter’s signature printed on it, tickling the last of the president’s erogenous zones that had not yet been activated."

"He’s a gruesome man, and we all need to come together to stop him having this incredible influence over all of our lives. Wouldn’t it be amazing if we didn’t have to ever think about him ever again? That’s the goal. A world where we don’t have to ever think about Elon Musk ever again. It would be wonderful."

👏 I dream for this.

On apple, right in the app. See screenshot

I guess I have volunteered for the 'round-up list" by submitting an Issue Report?

Maybe it is time to start a reverse-mis-information campaign to get others to start freaking out? Must be outlandish and conspiracy theory worthy. Examples:

-Elon Musk is going to use your direct deposit information to take money from your checking account if he thinks your social security payment is too high.

-EM is going to use your personal and private health data to determine if you will be allowed to continue receiving your prescription medication.

Anything to get people to call congress

Everyone in on the Saquon Barkley bandwagon like he is the second coming now that he is playing for the eagles. I find it amusing, being a Giant's fan. ;)

@ATLeagle

I can only hear this version

I've muted those words for years and things still leak through. Bsky is FULL of them. Read NPR or Democracy Docket to stay on top of what is going on. Marc Elias's stuff is good. ✌️

@molly0xfff

not that it makes any sense, but the back-end systems between personal and business accounts are probably different. I'm surprised you could even link a business checking to the HYSA in the first place. What is the point of linking then? /rhetorical

Wow. Not over. What a mess.

GOOOOAAAALLLL!!

Now we know how Bill feels. ;)

@glynmoody

I just checked my settings and my preference to sort by newest first was not changed to the new default. Maybe they heard the feedback?

I know banned substances are bad, but it would be helpful if these articles could also explain how the substance enhances performance and what amount of the substance it takes to achieve increased performance.

Iga Swiatek accepts one-month ban after testing positive for trimetazidine

Sorry @ATLeagle . I will root for RBNY to kick Orlando's butt in the next round.

Never forget your team took out Miami. That makes it a winning season!

@ATLeagle

LOL Teeth on the pitch!!

@ATLeagle

A tad aggressive I see?

@chris

Its not about quote posts. It is more than that. I think it is the ease of finding those you interacted with before. It is also much more active with celebrities, be they journalists or entertainment.

Functionality lacks there, so it is not 'better'. (no edit function for example.)

Though the ability to remove your post **from** a post quote and prevent anyone from seeing the comment is extremely popular.

People want what they liked before and bsky gives them that.

@chris

This being said, all the trolls are there too, but they have some unique moderation functions. Someone maintains a list and you can 'subscribe' and auto-block a bunch of accounts. It will also be changing as they are still figuring out what they are gonna do, so it is not 'stable'. i.e. there is no verification and fake accounts are popping up.

IMO, nothing will ever be what twitter was and people need to move on and accept social media will be different going forward.
