Claim via Social Media: that a video of a lady in Atlanta telling a reporter that she sells $2,500 in #SNAP food stamps each month for $1,200 is authentic.

MediaBias FactCheck rating: Blatant Lie
@leadstoriescom #factCheck rating: False (An AI Creation) And it makes you wonder about the depravity and desperation of the plutocrat plunderers -- and about the fealty of their puppets. MAGA lies and real people do actually suffer, sicken and die.

Completely taken by the 2025 Local Deprivation maps on gov.uk:

These maps are painting such a sad & harsh picture of the country (well, at least of England)! Been spending the past hour or so checking out various places I've been to, worked and lived in — for some of them they confirm nothing seems to have changed (for the better) in 15+ years. E.g. Central Sunderland[1] still is 99% more deprived than the rest of England, many neighborhoods in the larger cities are faring pretty bad too. Austerity visualized. Would be great if there would be a time travel option available, to see/compare these maps before/after Brexit...

[1] Back in 2010, Sunderland was an eye-opening experience for me (of a VERY different England than I knew from the south), when I was there a few times developing & installing the generative and agent & sensor-driven animation/software for the 140 meter long LED wall on Platform 5 at the main train station. It seems the project might still be running after all these years (never had a single support call), and it's still the first image on Google Maps... 🙌

[2] I always admired the UK datastore, the amount of available national data and the related mapping/infoviz culture. I built quite a few projects with their data myself, but have yet to find anything comparable for Germany. https://www.govdata.de just seems a lot more disparate and limited...
