EXCLUSIVE: We found that Instacart is using AI algorithms to charge customers different prices for the same items.
It's not just online. It's in physical grocery stores too.
Our months-long investigation with @consumerreports.org and @groundwork.bsky.social found it could cost families $1200/year.

The people of New Orleans have created an incredible grassroots community intelligence service to track the feds as they hunt the city's immigrants. A real good cops vs. bad cops dynamic being replicated across the country right now.

🛳️🛢️ Almost 180 million barrels of Russian oil are in tankers — 28% more than at the end of August, — Bloomberg.
Russia is loading oil onto tankers at an unprecedented pace, but the cargoes are piling up at sea. This puts pressure on prices and undermines Moscow's ability to finance the war.

The reason we don’t sell H200, and other advanced chips to China is that they have dual-use (military and civilian) capability.
These will help China improve their AI, surveillance, and cyber espionage capability.
The export controls existed strictly for NatSec purposes.

Don't understand how the nazi army continues to operate under these circumstances, and again, these nazi soldiers who are being murdered by their COs deserve exactly what they get. They choose to fight for their beloved motherland.
1/ So-called 'black commanders' are confiscating Russian soldiers' salary cards, then sending them to their deaths, failing to report them missing or killed, and stealing their salaries. This scam is reportedly widespread and has prompted many complaints from soldiers. ⬇️

Police surveil everyone driving in San Jose and search that data thousands of times per month without ever seeking a warrant. It’s an unchecked police power, an end run around the courts & a blatant privacy invasion, EFF’s Lisa Femia wrote for @MercuryNews.com. www.mercurynews.com/2025/12/06/...

The Tasselled Wobbegong is a master of disguise that can eat a fish almost as big as itself in one gulp. It's classified as a shark, but when it lays on the sea floor it looks like a harmless rug if you manage to see it. But with powerful jaws and sharp teeth they are no fish to mess with.
