For months, myself and my team have been the target of conspiracy theories that seek to undermine and delegitimzie our research and advisory activities around combating false and misleading claims about elections (I know, it's meta.. researchers of conspiracy theories become the focus of conspiracy theories.) A few weeks back we published a statement describing some of the mispercetions: https://www.cip.uw.edu/2023/03/16/uw-cip-election-integrity-partnership-research-claims/

I’ve followed Holly and her Merry Moggies on Twitter for a couple of years now and she does excellent work. She takes in cats that have disabilities or “issues” that they would have otherwise been put down for. Some of the cats she’s able to treat and adopt out, but others become permanent members of her little family. If you have a few spare dollars and are feeling generous, I would absolutely recommend donating to her GoFundMe.

People can change. What’s more—societies can change. But the change doesn’t happen unless we make it happen.

So keep fighting.

Wondering if any #WordPress folks can help me out.

I've got a website where the admin email appears to be changed after a #WooCommerce order is attempted.

The IP from the order is from Ukraine. But I think the order is a red herring.

Access logs show that IP (which my firewall should have blocked, all traffic from outside NAm is blocked) hit similar #Elementor links multiple times:

1 time: POST /?wc-ajax=get_refreshed_fragments&elementor_page_id=65

5 times: POST /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=elementor_ajax&_nonce=ca568afb67

1 time: GET //wp-content/plugins/elementor-pro/changelog.txt

I think we have the culprit there - checking the version of the Elementor Pro plugin.

I've loathed page builders for years (this is an inherited site), so this really sticks in my craw.

“My hot take on “15 minute cities” is if you can get to the coffee shop within fifteen minutes, but the barrista who makes your drink can’t afford to live closer than a half-hour away, then you live in a theme park.” - Gareth Klieber #cities #urbanism

What? Clarence Thomas is a problem?

If only some impressive and well-educated young woman from Oklahoma had tried to warn us...

'When I emailed Twitter’s press email asking for comment about its supposed push for transparency, I received an auto-reply containing a single poop emoji—part of the CEO’s new approach to media inquiries.'

'He believed that books should be read, and that close reading could and should leave material traces. In an ironic piece on book-borrowers, he praised his friend ‘S.T.C.’ (Coleridge), who had returned Elia’s books ‘with usury; enriched with annotations, tripling their value’, though written ‘in no very clerkly hand’.

Clarence Thomas and the Billionaire: SCOTUS Justice Thomas Secretly Accepted Luxury Trips From Major GOP Donor
--

Island-hopping on a superyacht.

Private jet rides around the world.

The undisclosed gifts to Thomas have no known precedent in the modern history of the Supreme Court.

“It’s incomprehensible to me that someone would do this,” says one former judge.

Just wanna say this: My single favorite feature of Mastodon compared to Twitter, if I had to pick just one, is that Mastodon does not have quote tweets
