At least someone is saying it like it is. Gotta respect Pritzker
atrupar.com
Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross. And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

Missed this but HIGNFY (in a scripted moment) spread a fully debunked, viral conspiracy theory about ID cards last night. The most basic of fact checking clearly never happened. When online rubbish makes it to mainstream, worrying for public discourse.

Here’s the clip (which I will once again note for out-of-context reposts, is a total bullshit conspiracy/fake news).

“The source told CBS News that [Kash Patel and Dan Bongino] asked for "large, beefy" agents to conduct an arrest of Comey "in full kit," including Kevlar vests and exterior wear emblazoned with the FBI logo.” The leadership of the FBI is now in the hands of infantile psychopaths.
The FBI is weighing an arrest and perp walk for Comey — and suspended an agent for refusing to help, sources say
The FBI is considering carrying out a "showy" arrest and perp walk of the agency's now-indicted ex-Director James Comey, sources tell CBS News.

“If you wish to see a virgin on screen”. What the actual …?

Paramount is about to pay $150 million for this
New article from The Free Press

My Favorite Actress Is Not Human

“Not everyone is happy about this gorgeous innovation,” writes Tyler Cowen.

Tilly Norwood doesn’t need a hairstylist, has no regrettable posts, and if you wish to see a virgin on-screen, this is one of your better chances. That’s because she’s AI.

One of the things I miss about old Twitter was being able to say: ‘who’s listening to tonight’s Blue of the Night on Lyric and enjoying the hell out of it?’ And finding kindred online souls. Anyone?

Nepal-style protests with young people taking to the streets in what is normally seen as a relatively stable country, Morocco. Feel like its not getting enough attention in news - been going on for five days now.

🇲🇦 Two people were killed when officers opened fire on a group of people attempting to "storm" a police station in Morocco , state media say, as protests -- sometimes violent -- roil the north African nation.
