She won a Pulitzer for exposing how the country's poorest state spent federal welfare money. Now she might go to jail. "The rabbit's got the gun now," said a lawyer for former Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant, who is trying to force reporter Anna Wolfe to reveal her sources.

This is prob too harsh. WNBA threads is good. If Bluesky gets native video worked out it will really be a game changer. Sports can make a social network.

We need to put all the people who come online just to argue on one platform and they have to earn their way out to other platforms by attaining normal points.

The early vibe of threads wasn't good. Then, for about three months, it was good not great. Now it feels like x-lite and I'm not a fan.

Like, let's say you were interested in the increase in ER visits due to nonlethal weapons following a mass protest movement from a few years ago. You could find some government data on that if you were looking.

Haven't looked into it in a bit and would hate to mislead ya. Fun thing to do sometime - our injury/death data is available through our National Electronic Injury Surveillance System.

Depends on the set up imo. You got yourself out there with a trash bag over a gravel pit that's a problem. You got a nice patch of grass and some inflatable tubes, you're in better shape.
