Bluesky stops operations in Mississippi over age verification law
SUMMARY: Bluesky, a social media platform once funded by Twitter, has temporarily blocked access in Mississippi due to a new state law requiring age verification for social media users. The law, passed in 2024 after a tragic sextortion case, mandates platforms verify users are over 18 or have parental consent. The U.S. Supreme Court allowed enforcement to proceed while legal challenges continue. Bluesky cited concerns about privacy, free speech, and the high costs of compliance, arguing the law disproportionately impacts smaller platforms. Users from Mississippi now see a message explaining the block. Bluesky remains committed to child safety while advocating for balanced regulations.

Mississippi stores affected by Blue Bell ice cream recall over packaging mishap
SUMMARY: Blue Bell is recalling limited batches of its Moo-llenium Crunch ice cream due to a packaging error at its Brenham, Texas plant. Some half-gallon cartons of Moo-llenium Crunch were mistakenly labeled in Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough containers with Moo-llenium Crunch lids. Since Moo-llenium Crunch contains almonds, walnuts, and pecans, the recall warns customers with nut allergies of potential serious reactions. The mislabeled cartons can be identified by a specific code on the lid. Retailers across multiple states, including Mississippi, Alabama, and Texas, are affected. Consumers are advised to return the product for a full refund. No illnesses have been reported.
