Trump says movies produced outside the U.S. are a national security threat. So he’s imposing a 100% tariff on all movies that are “produced in foreign lands.”

Translation of this thread: "We've decided our Trust & Safety team doesn't require trust, and our users don't require safety." Have we learned NOTHING from the history of the internet about how bad actors love to weaponize strict objectivity?

Blocking is self-care. If you see dog shit on the sidewalk, you don’t avoid it because you’re scared of it. You avoid it because you don’t want dog shit on you. 🚫

it took vaccines starting in the 1700s to the discovery of antibiotics in 1933 to achieve this near elimination of maternal mortality. with it came a reduction in infant mortality.
the baby boom wasn't prosperity leading to more kids, they were literally just the first generation to survive fully

I do want to force catholic hospitals to perform abortions against their will, actually. If you can't offer full maternal care don't be a hospital. Fuck off.

Speaking as someone who knows a little bit about copyright, and has been a proud member of the "edgy internet"* since the early 90s, I'd like to talk about why letting the AI companies freely scrape content is a bad thing for open content, and a threat to everything the commons movement worked for.
Fascinated by the “edgy internet” turnaround on copyright law from 2005 to now. Even a decade ago, this kind of transformational use would have been seen as acceptable or even affirmatively good in many circles. futurism.com/the-byte/ope...

lot of negativity towards AI lately, but consider :
are these tools ethical or environmentally sustainable? No.
*but* do they enable great things that people want? Also no.
*but* are they being made by well meaning people for good reasons? Once again, no.
maybe you're not being negative *enough*

Public policy should, at minimum, be about preventing Bond villains from existing
so in addition to causing significant light pollution that harms astronomical research, the sheer volume of starlink low earth orbit satellites constantly burning up on re-entry could prevent the ozone layer from healing, scientists warn:
