I tweeted about this guy last night and got all these replies from random people who said he'd saved their baby's life. Fuck being rich I would love to have been this guy, imagine how cool it would be to know you'd helped so many people. We need to name an airport after him or something

This is particularly insulting and egregious when the vast, vast majority of victims of nonconsensual sexually-explicit deepfakes struggle to get platforms to take any action against the material. Including underage girls, even the ones who are celebrities

Nothing about kids dying from measles is normal. Anti-vaxxers like RFK Jr. and the Republicans who enable them are responsible for every single one of these deaths.

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

Scholz 2021: „Mehr Respekt. Mehr Vertrauen. Mehr Schutz. Mit dem Bürgergeld.“ 2025: "Scholz offen für Arbeitspflicht bei Bürgergeld."

BREAKING: The SEC has dropped its enforcement case against Coinbase. Coinbase spent $46 million to influence the outcome of the election. Now they're already getting their payoff.

"They're putting persecuted Christian refugees in camps in the jungle" sounds like something Glenn Beck would accuse the Obama administration of doing and yet now it's a pillar of the Republican agenda.

Können wir bitte endlich aufhören mit Formulierungen wie "in den USA ist die rechtsstaatliche demokratische Ordnung in Gefahr". Über "Gefahr" sind wir weit hinaus. Dort wird offen auf Gesetzte gepfiffen, von einer autokratischen Führungsclique. Damit muss man jetzt umgehen. Leugnen hilft nicht.

It's appropriate that this sentiment comes after the industry realized that they haven't done anything useful in 20 years so they descended into mass psychosis over tech that does nothing but purports to do everything

Google has dropped a pledge not to use artificial intelligence for weapons or surveillance in its updated ethics policy on the powerful technology.

New from 404 Media: inside the gov meeting where Musk ally laid out plans for data sharing across gov/AI. We got audio. In the call an employee pushed back and said the plan would be “illegal.” Musk ally said “we should still push forward and see what we can do.” www.404media.co/things-are-g...

elon musk is the shadow president and making up what he deems legal. he genuinely wants it to be a crime to know who is working for him

“Elon Musk Has Plunged America Into a Constitutional Crisis. He Must Be Stopped.” Powerful and much-needed appraisal from Will Stancil of the meaning of, and fallout from, this weekend’s takeover of the Treasury and USAID by Musk and his minions.

One of the first things Hitler did was destroy and burn trans research at the Institute of Sexology. Trump has spent the past couple weeks systematically attempting to erase any trans related information that he has power over. Just for context, you know.

People in and around USAID, State Department, and other agencies — I'm hearing about a lotta stuff. I'd like to hear more about it from you. Please feel welcome to reach out via Signal premthakker.35 Your anonymity will be protected. And friends, please boost this so others can find it too.

This Democratic Senator is saying that Trump isn’t deporting enough people. This isn’t opposing fascism, it’s encouraging it.

Don't need help with that, but thanks 👍

if we had DEI this would have never happened

This almost goes without saying, but just because it’s in the news again: no, chemtrails are not real. The government is not spraying fluoride into the atmosphere to mind control the population. Those lines in the sky are just what happens when airplanes dump all their piss up there

I hear what you guys are saying about the Oscars, and how they're a celebration of life, and the show must go on, blah-blah-blah, so-on-and-so-forth. It all makes a degree of sense, but to me it still feels like Nero fiddling while Rome burns. Or in this case, wearing fancy clothes while LA burns.

Not that I use TikTok at all but how the fuck would this even be legal? (I know it probably will be but like obviously shouldn't)

The CEO of Watch Duty used his skills as a software engineer to build the app to amplify fire safety information as a public service: “Techies are obsessed with going to Mars and inventing an AGI robot to do art. But I’m obsessed with time and life.” sfstandard.com/2025/01/09/w...

Very brave of them, not everyone has the courage of a publisher that made seven dogshit games that everyone hated in a row

Crazy that 'virtue signaling' is supposed to be insulting. Like, yeah, I openly don't want to hang out with fascists. I vocally and publicly declare them losers. You got me.

This sort of “feel good” story needs to stop.

dutch wasn’t originally all cutesy like “weer petten de leetel raabbet”, but they changed it so they could i’m-just-a-little-guy their way out of being in trouble for the east india company

***ANNOUNCEMENT*** Coming on February 11th on MOD #4K from #WarnerBros: #TheNiceGuys (2016)! Set in 1970s Los Angeles, down-on-his-luck private eye Holland March (Ryan Gosling) and hired leg-breaker Jackson Healy (Russell Crowe) must work together to solve the case of a missing girl and

I was on holiday when this dropped, as many of us were. So in case you missed it, I was on last month's episode of Bellingchat Premium talking about another one of my investigations into, you guessed it, AI non-consensual content. And some of the worst kind, content of children.

🚨UK People🚨 1/7 Your government is proposing a HUGE change to copyright law, where they give away YOUR works to Tech companies to profit from for FREE! A disgusting overreach that will cause irreparable harm to ALL creatives and beyond .You have one chance to stop it, read how below👇

now this is self-optimisation

I can’t enjoy horror movies because the characters always act so irrationally. If I was in a horror movie situation I would simply kill myself straight away

MrBeast unveiled his latest and most harrowing viral challenge yet. paletteswap.site/dif...

adrian dittman is elon musk confirmed

i got a shirt that says "Warning: Objects in mirror may be more Sarcastic than they appear" so i can ball it up & nut in it about 4000 times

NEW: Disney, Comcast, and other advertisers are returning to X after a year-long boycott. It’s not just because they want to reach users. They want to buy influence with Trump’s shadow president Elon Musk. youtu.be/l9_I4UYMl8s

The most frustrating thing about this is that even acknowledging that it's true and doing your best to be as transparent as you can be about the ways in which you are forced to play that game doesn't actually do anything to prevent it.

Normally people would be suspicious about things like this but with a cybertruck everyone is just like “yeah they do that sometimes”

Ein Treffen in der Schweiz, organisiert von Neonazis – mit AfD-Politikern als Rednern. Die Themen: Abschiebung, „Remigration” & rechte Netzwerke. Unser Reporter war undercover dabei.

drank so much piss yesterday, but it's the holidays so it's alright.

Really struggling to figure out how the Democrats could have possibly lost the hearts and minds of voters going into the home stretch. Ah well, will probably be forever a mystery.
