Something wonky going on with FB

Facebook bug disabled block feature for over 800,000 users

A glitch in Facebook’s software allowed hundreds of thousands of individuals who had been blocked to message and view the profiles of those who blocked them, the company said.

The bug, which Facebook said popped up on May 29 and was fixed on June 5, affected 800,000 users. The social network has 2.2 billion monthly active users.

When a user blocks someone on Facebook, it severs the connection between their accounts, and prohibits the other person from seeing their posts.

Though the bug did not restore the blocked individuals as Facebook friends, it did make it possible for them to contact their blockers on Messenger.

In its blog post, Facebook said that 83 percent of the people impacted only had a single person blocked.

Facebook shares closed Tuesday’s abbreviated session down 2.4 percent, at $192.73.

A well-placed Democratic aide went to WaPo with detailed allegations of crimes involving Imran Awan in Feb 2017. WaPo never got back to him, then claimed the stuff never happened. Source only came to me bc he was shocked WaPo ignored him

Massachusetts Governor Signs Gun Seizure Bill

Republican Gov. Charlie Baker signed a bill on Tuesday allowing for temporary gun confiscation without any due process in Massachusetts.

Bill H4670 enables a family or household member, which includes roommates, relatives or significant others, to remove firearms, firearm identification cards and ammunition from any individual deemed to be a danger to oneself or others.

Surrendered goods can be confiscated for up to one year, with the ability to renew the order, but an individual can try to appeal the ruling. (RELATED: Gun Groups File Massive 923-Page Objection Against ATF’s Bump Stock Ban [VIDEO])

Baker defended the so-called ‘red flag law’ over twitter calling it a “model for the nation.”

Help Wanted: New York Times National Security Reporter

America’s renowned “newspaper of record” seeks ambitious young journalist to work as national security reporter. (Previous reporter has been reassigned.) Candidate should have no more than four years experience working in journalism: A history of job-hopping between the nation’s top news outlets is preferred.

Qualifications include sleeping with high-level government employees for scoops and accessing unlawfully-leaked classified information. Examples of work product—particularly articles that smear Trump campaign associates and/or boost the Trump-Russia election collusion narrative, will be favorably considered and should be attached to thin résumé. Additionally, we totally will believe any candidate who insists high-level lover is not the anonymous “senior intelligence officer” cited in any articles.

Letters of recommendation by former editors confirming that the candidate’s sex-for-scoops method of investigative reporting led to an increase in page views are required. Candidates who admit he/she has been questioned by the FBI in the Justice Department’s ongoing probe of illegal leaks to the media will not be disqualified.

Benefits include a paid, three-week vacation after only six months’ employment to regroup after ex-lover’s arrest by federal officials. Unethical conduct that violates our professional policies will not result in termination, rather, any employee who disregards basic journalistic standards and humiliates our news organization will be relocated to another city and receive a “fresh start” and because the Times is all about being a “humane place that can allow for second chances when there are mitigating circumstances.”

(Please note that this compassion and humanity does not apply to any targets of our reporting, particularly if that monster has anything to do with Donald Trump.)

To apply, please contact Dean Baquet, executive editor, New York Times. Or we can just meet for drinks and dinner.

Attorney General Denies Allegations He Groped And Told Women To ‘Show A Little Skin’

Indiana Republican Attorney General Curtis Hill is facing mounting pressure to resign in light of allegations he groped and made inappropriate comments to women at a bar in March.

A confidential memo prepared by an outside law firm alleges that Hill touched multiple women, including a state lawmaker, hugging them and in one instance putting his hands under her clothes and grabbing her buttocks, the Indy Star reported Monday.

Major drugmakers ignore plea from HHS to not hike drug prices

Several top drugmakers have decided to raise prices this month, a few days after a plea from Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar for restraint.

Pfizer has decided to raise prices for more than 40 drugs, with some big ones like Viagra and antidepressant Zoloft getting a price hike of nearly 10 percent. Several other drugmakers also plan to make hikes to their products.

The hikes from several drugmakers come a week after Azar appeared before the Senate Finance Committee to discuss healthcare affordability.
