We tried to warn you… Clearview AI’s founders *always* intended to target immigrants and the political left And now “their digital dragnet is in the hands of the Trump administration” www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Same.

I sure hope The food is good At Camden Yards This year. Because the Baseball Is not.

I don't think people realise the barrier of entry for creating non-consensual deepfake nudes is effectively zero - Commissioner calls for ban on apps that make deepfake nude images of children www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Love this. In his “I Agree” installation Dima Yarovinsky-Yahel took the content from terms of service statements for companies like Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, Tinder and printed them out on A4 paper with a standard font size for legal contracts to demonstrate the length of these agreements.

This is what a rigged economy looks like: In the 1970s, CEOs made 27 times more than the average worker. In the 1980s, CEOs made 48 times more than the average worker. This decade, CEOs are making 354 times more than the average worker. That has got to change.

Fully on board with dems running for office promising to reinstate fired federal employees and jail this administration’s various criminals, but let’s go ahead and add “we will seize by eminent domain any national parkland sold to developers”

Watching live on tv I was struck by how the St Peter's crowd was silent when Trump came out (as with other leaders) but spontaneously applauded Zelensky Two other rounds of applause since: when the pope's coffin was brought out (an Italian tradition) and during the homily which called for peace.

NEW: Nike says most of the 1.1M people making its products earn 1.9X their local minimum wage. We obtained a payroll ledger for a Cambodian factory that supplied Nike for two years. 1% of the workforce earned that much. Team effort with @sbmaneyphoto.bsky.social. www.propublica.org/article/nike...

I've just come back from the Cambridge Disinformation Summit where I gave the opening keynote, titled "Demanufacturing Consent - How Disordered Discourse is Destroying Democracy", featuring everything from Fake Hooves to Jackson Hinkle being the worst. www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-FV...

Google AI overview with give you a definition for any made-up phrase. In theory, AI should be VERY good at identifying what is or isn't common English idiom (considering all the training!). So what went wrong? www.businessinsider.com/google-ai-ma...

What's extremely funny is Trump's economic advisor has PhD from Harvard, but if you read his work, it's the stuff an econ 1 dropout would write. He also repeatedly cites an economist named 'Ron Vara' in his book, a person no one can find, and whose name is an anagram of his own last name, 'Navarro'.

If you’re changing the definition of human rights, it means you plan on violating people’s human rights.

Lucy would like for the record to reflect that she’s been an excellent yard work helper today, and that she’s seen to the maintenance of a number of very fine legacy dirt holes.

New from 404 Media: that "college protester" you see online isn't real. Instead it's an AI-powered undercover bot for cops. We've obtained documents showing how 'Massive Blue' is helping cops deploy AI-powered social media bots to talk to protesters. Examples: www.404media.co/this-college...

Another image from this incredible foggy morning at the iconic Mont Saint Michel last week… #photography #art #landscape #history #myregion

A glorious and golden start to the day here in Glastonbury today. Photo taken on Glastonbury Tor this morning.

The New York Times’ Glenn Thrush says that while Attorney General Pam Bondi offered her personal sympathy to Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro over the arson attack, she refuses to label the incident as domestic terrorism—even though she labels attacks on Tesla property as domestic terrorism.

On March 28 and 29, settlers and Israeli forces stormed and attacked the Jinba community in #MasaferYatta, #WestBank, #Palestine. Five Palestinians were hospitalized —two in intensive care, including a child.

🚨 Misogynist Andrew Tate has been banned from several platforms but his hateful videos are still reaching millions of young men. The ideology of Tate & other women-hating influencers can radicalize young men & put women's lives at risk. Our research in @news.sky.com ⤵️

I've seen some people saying how "AI"-generated text is now as good as certain published authors, and honestly I think it's really brave for these folks to admit in public how poor their reading comprehension has to be

this tail will participate in not even a bit of nonsense. Sandal has his tail under control. this is a responsibility we all have, but so few respect it.

Sorry, today's video will be a bit delayed. Got a nasty cold and it sounds like I'm talking out of my nose, so I'll get it put out as soon as the cold is gone and I'm able to record the finishing parts. Here is a preview of an image from the video. #photography #landscapephotography #sunset

How Fox this morning frames Russia’s latest missile attacks against civilians: “Both sides now accusing each other of violating the 30-day cease fire agreement.”

…just as *every other survey and experiment* has found for decades. The “problem” with UBI is that greedy rich fucks want captive victims and UBI causes supplies of those to plummet.

We stand by our reporting.

Trump tried to bury this story on a Friday night, but it’s extremely important: He’s planning to take land on the border controlled by the Dept. of Interior and sign it over to Dept. of Defense so migrants “would have trespassed on a military installation,” resulting in harsher punishment.

Trump never, ever admits a mistake. Remember the hurricane sharpie incident? Somehow, in American media, if you simply never admit errors but double down, they never call you on it. The only way Abrego Garcia is coming back is if it’s in some kind of face-saving way for Trump.

We found the government “waste, fraud, and abuse”.

I realize this isn’t the most important thing in the scheme of things, but if you have been putting off getting any board games or paper books, get them now, because a whole lot of businesses are about to go under
