CDC’s clinical guidelines for PrEP — which all but eliminates HIV risk — have been removed from CDC’s website. This is what you get when you search.

Expanding PrEP access is essential to end HIV infections.

They want people to get HIV as some sort of punishment for being immoral.

How a College Student Used Creative Commons to Dominate Political Photography - Priceonomics Gage Skidmore has photographed nearly every presidential candidate since 2008 — and by giving away all of his images for free, he has quickly become the Internet's most prominent political photographe...

yes, but images must be freely licensed (not under copyright) to use. that’s why the photos for many celebs are out-of-date/lower quality.

I'm seeing a few reports of this, but I can't confirm this is widespread. I have been told a separate passport office is no longer processing changes, but new apps will go by your BC and renewals by your current info.

There's a lot of confusion out there on passports and no real answer yet.

(though this really isn't that deep. i wouldn't do anything goofy from your personal/work email, but creating some noise on a alt email probably isn't a big deal.)

i use mullvad. it's generally best to use a vpn provider that's not too big, not too small (in terms of popularity).

i also use firefox. but no browser inherently provides privacy. really about how you configure/use it. if i were you i'd read up more on opsec.

yeah it was a recent thing unfortunately.

i would not rely on any email provider to protect you on its own - use whatever you'd like, but make sure you're taking opsec measures like using a vpn, working in a clean environment (vm / clear your cookies at the very least).

CapCut is still down so Meta is going to take advantage to launch their own carbon copy video editor after they lobbied to ban their competition.

so funny that my options for this in gmail are "learn more" and "continue" and I can't just turn it off

Screenshot of Hollywood Reporter interview: 

“I don’t want to sell this. To who? No one should own this. The fact that I have to do this with my team is not OK. Part of this is out of spite. I’m angry that I’m here having to do this, and the government hasn’t spent the money to do this themselves,” Mills says. “So, no, it’s not for sale. No, I’m not open to change all of a sudden, and I just don’t give a shit.”

A Crowdsourced Wildfire App Tracks All of California’s Blazes Watch Duty is already a lifeline for the state’s residents. Its reach could soon extend to more disasters and regions.

What is Watch Duty? The free, nonprofit service is a lifeline for California's residents as multiple wildfires rage on. "Watch Duty weeds out all of Twitter’s extraneous chatter and shoots straight for its core goal: telling people where a fire is right now, and where it is headed."

From 2022:

Your periodic reminder that if you need to get out of your house FAST, do not bother trying to stuff your cats into carriers, just scoop them up in pillowcases. (You can drop said squirming rage sacks into carriers for added security if you have time.)

the whole amber alerts situation is terrible. received one last week that you could not view if you didn’t have an X account. they should really link to the info on California Highway Patrol’s site, not a third party’s.

Watch Duty - Wildfire Maps & Alerts Real-time information about wildfire and firefighting efforts nearby

I’m liking the Watch Duty app (using on iOS) for keeping track of local evacuation orders (with notifications) for the fires in Los Angeles. It also integrates with local news reports and other updates.
