It appears our Snopes' X/Twitter account has just been hacked.

One of our staff was logged-in at the time and all of sudden got booted. We checked our email and noticed 3 just came in from X (first saying a new device logged-in then an email saying an authenticator app was added followed by an email saying our password was changed).

I immediately reset the password as our email was still tied to the account but we still couldn't login because it said we need to use the authenticator app which we didn't add. I also immediately submitted a request to X support saying our account may have been hacked.

Anything else we should do? This happened about 20 minutes ago. So far there are no weird posts on our account [x.com/snopes]. I'm hoping the hacker got booted when I submitted the password reset and request to X support immediately after being booted.

Sunset San Diego Style.

A sunset is not just a sunset…each one is a unique and majestic expression of nature. A sunset suggests an end to the day. A day filled with goodness is amplified by the beauty and colors of the sunset. A day that was filled with difficulties and worries can be washed away in a sunset with a promise of a better tomorrow.

Essential reading re: #Trump, his evisceration of #language, why we see the same #media people who are perpetually shocked (but shouldn't be) by #fascism, which then gets normalized. It's difficult to choose an excerpt to introduce the piece b/c it's all so important and chilling but the piece ends with this: "If you have transgender kids, or you're transgender yourself, you've got to try to leave the country if Trump and the fascists win."

The day after firing him and ousting him from the board of directors, Open AI is trying to woo Sam Altman back.

Everything in AI is going fine, guys.

Paris has revealed plans for pedestrianizing the city that include creating 100 hectares of new pedestrian space by 2030 and transforming car lanes to human-friendly pathways and rain gardens.

Love this part: "walking is free, it's emission-free, it's noise-free, it's good for your health and, as we see every time we pedestrianise, it's also good for local businesses."

People-friendly cities for the win! 🚶‍♀️ 🌳 🚴‍♂️

When we warn the real threat of AI is how it’s used against people in the present, not the fantasies that some day computers might think for themselves, this is exactly the kind of thing we’re talking about: health insurers using AI to deny care.
