babe wake up, they're doing insider trading on war crimes
“What appears to be a newly created account appeared to invest $30,000 Friday in Maduro's exit. After Maduro went into custody Saturday morning, that same investor netted $436,759.61.”
Someone made $400K by predicting Maduro's capture. Here's what happened
The winnings come as the rules governing prediction markets are still evolving.

As much as I hope there are consequences for this, Japanese entertainment companies seem as equally enamored with AI. AI is even friendlier to copyright law over there than it is here.

A lot of these "For the Children" Internet bills often do a lot more harm than good. Sometimes because of unintended consequences...Sometimes by design.

This is an excellent breakdown.

I urge you to call your Congresspeople/Senators in opposition. #InformationPolicy

I was definitely one of those people saying, “well, his historical takes seem wrong but the stuff about early hominids is good.”

Legit, my Intro Bio II prof recommended it. It took way too long to question the parts of the book that didn’t seem that bad
Episode 46: Sapiens

It's an ambitious goal to write the entire history of humanity in just 400 pages. It's even more ambitious to do it without reading any research.

Honestly, Grok sponsoring a Tron movie is the most anti-Tron thing and just shows how much Ares is straight up corporate tech bro propaganda. It’s very sad. Tron has such potential and never fully gets there. Legacy and Uprising are good but Tron: Identity tbh is the franchise peak.

This has been coming from the beginning. All major democracy-supporting NGOs and foundations have their legal complaints already drafted. And in time, perhaps not even much time, they will win their cases. What is needed most in the meantime is courage. Keep saying what you think, doing what you do.

The story about Trump ordering the removal of references to slavery from national Parks is being censored on here by the moderation service because it wrongly labeled the photo of an enslaved person with scars from being whipped on their back as "self harm."

When I was placed on the Professor Watchlist in 2021, people sent death threats about my children. I had security officers monitor my 8yo at school.

Where is all the outrage for those of us who have been targeted for years? Where is the outrage for our families?

I am just going to keep posting that the TX governor recently pardoned a political murderer.

The dude texted "I'm going to shoot protestors", then went and shot a Black Lives Matter protester. He was convicted in a jury trial.

Hard to find a more blatant example of celebrating political violence.

A Travis County jury sentenced Perry to 25 years in prison last year, prompting Abbott to ask the state parole board to review his case.

Michigan lawmakers are proposing a total porn ban

The "Anticorruption of Public Morals Act" H.B 4938 would prohibit the distribution of "real, animated, digitally generated, written, or auditory" depictions of sexual acts.
