You know what, let's do the Annual Mister Global National Costume thread tonight after all. Usual rules apply - this is all in fun, this isn't about the contestants looks or making fun of them, it's about the costumes and appreciating them (or, you know, making fun of them...)

“I … met with the governor, met with the mayor, met with the chief of police, and the superintendent of the highway patrol. They’re all lying, and disingenuous, and dishonest people,” Noem said, because they wouldn’t back up her baseless claims that the streets were overrun with terrorists.

The political project of the Trump Admin is mass death. Sometimes fast, sometimes slow. This is the real threat, not the people they target to justify their actions.

Consider how, up til now, if you couldn't find a book, you just didn't have that book. It was not available to you.

Now, if you search for a book, odds are you'll get a thousand shitty genAI regurgitations of that book, weird sketchy print on demand listings, that book remixed and digested.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

I would expect the amount of ai content especially trying to muddy the waters around government actions like the fake reporter arrest video to accompany any actual video of fascist violence coming online in an effort to discredit it all as ai.

The information war is getting much more serious now.

Anyone thinking this much power won't be abused should consider what's going on in the US right now. Even if for some reason you're confident that the party *you* voted for can be trusted (spoiler: it can't), do you trust all of them?

Until a few years ago, it was a criminal offence in Canada to scare the Queen of England

The Carney government's new hate crime proposals have a similar aim—to protect the ruling classes from discomfort and political dissent

New hate crime law is a cover for suppressing Palestine protests ⋆ The Breach

The proposed 'Combatting Hate Act' is built on the idea that protests inspire hateful violence, and gives police the tools to crack down on expression

Here's a neat trick they teach in authoritarianism school: If you purge the people who measure the effects of your policies (BLS, MMWR), you can just claim everything's great, and nobody can prove how much damage you're doing.

Fuck yeah you should.

Using a swearword in your Google search can stop the AI answer. But should you?

Artificial intelligence is more than Trump deepfakes of Tilly the actor. It’s used in smartphones, customer service, healthcare – even legal cases. Is it possible to avoid?

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.
