Pretty infuriating: King Gizzard quit Spotify over ethical concerns -- and now Spotify is letting AI knockoffs of its music (with all the lyrics copied verbatim) proliferate on its platform

Based on the facts recounted by the Senator, the two do sound “shipwrecked” for LOAC purposes.

But they were never lawful targets in the first place even if LOAC applied.

And LOAC doesn’t apply because there is no armed conflict.

Term for premeditated killing outside of armed conflict is murder.
WELKER: Lawmakers say the 2 men appeared to raise their arms potentially to surrender. Why did Admiral Bradley interpret these actions as anything other than them trying to survive?

Two independent studies found that AI chatbots were better at persuading voters than political ads. The most persuasive bots also lied the most. This is something that humans working in psyops have known for decades. AI is psyops at scale. www.technologyreview.com/2025/12/04/1...

👴🏻"But we have to protect US auto worker jobs!"🤡

Everyone who says this is lying.

Because when you call their bluff and try to protect US auto worker jobs directly, they say no. Then they dismantle the NLRB.

And you protect US auto worker jobs by making affordable, competitive cars in the US.

This person who openly advocates war crimes, who lobbied for pardons for war criminals, and repeatedly disdains the laws and ethics of war, the one we confirmed as Secretary of Defense, turns out to have done war crimes. Shocking!

(But hey, if they're finally coming around, better late than never.)

When power went out across all of Puerto Rico on 16 April, a lot of the lights in the town of Adjuntas stayed on. A combination of experimental microgrids, solar panels, and storage kept power on for many businesses and residents.

I feel that partisanship has to be destroyed, and the way to do that is for each of us to promote our non-orthodox stances. Blur the boundaries.
I have found a lot of merit in certain conservative ideas which I deploy almost entirely against actually-existing conservatives

"Never spread the lie in the headline" should be a hard rule of 21st century journalism.

Research shows that repeating lies helps to spread them, and people read headlines more than they read stories.
News media has to do better with headlines that present false and unverified public health claims.

Don’t forget that *Trump’s own lawyer’s argument* to the Supreme Court in the immunity case was that the check on the President using his immunity to order criminal acts was that those under him would not follow illegal orders. Now it’s a crime for lawmakers to remind servicemembers of that?
The President doesn't want you standing up and speaking out against him, so he's coming after me to intimidate all of us.

But I won't back down — and neither should you.

People piping in to "akshually" me about the identity of the shooter. Let me be clear: I wrote this before I knew who it was. Because that doesn't change my assessment: Fuck that asshole. Dudes w/ guns shooting people who aren't literally shooting at them? Always assholes. Easy!
