NFL star helps unveil vending machine with free opioid-fighting medicine
SUMMARY: Tennessee Titans defensive end Jeffery Simmons is supporting Mississippi through youth football camps and public health efforts. After hosting a free camp in Starkville, Simmons helped unveil a naloxone vending machine at Jackson Medical Mall, providing free opioid overdose medication to combat rising overdose cases in the capital. Naloxone rapidly reverses opioid overdoses and saves lives by bridging time until medical help arrives. Simmons, featured in Fund Recovery’s “Tackle Overdose Now” campaign, chose Jackson for its high overdose rates. Mississippi saw a drop in suspected overdose deaths from over 200 in 2023 to 146 in 2024, partly credited to naloxone distribution. Simmons emphasizes youth support as key to the future.

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.
