Delete X. Get rid of it. The entire existence of that company has become an obscenity.
Child exploitation content on X/Twitter sharply increased under Musk, who not only abruptly disbanded the group of volunteer experts advising the platform on child safety, image exploitation, and other abuses in 2022, but tried to blame them for the company's CSAM problem www.npr.org/2022/12/12/1...

something very important for Dems to realize is that the tech overlords are not people you can win back by promising a lighter touch and saying a few nice things
they’ve gotten a taste of mask-off fascism and they are not going back, they don’t want to play nice with the peons anymore

There’s a funny Politico story showing that the latest polling on AI shows 80-20 in favor of heavy regulations, an absolute slam dunk platform, but Dems are worried about not winning back mask-off tech CEO donors

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Yes, CECOT is a concentration camp in the guise of a prison. The Venezuelans were the first people to *ever* be released from CECOT since Bukele opened the prison in January 2023. Seriously. The first.
These are concentration camps. No other way to describe them. Truly horrific, and none of it surprising in the least.
30 minutes. Some deportees described sexual assault. Detainee describes the guard sexually assaulting most detainees. Lights left on all day. Prisoners not given clean water.
Now the DHS tour. Nobody spoke to the detainees. Noem's video was in a different area of the prison.

I strongly condemn the Islamophobic remarks made by U.S. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard about our Muslim community in the great city of Paterson
This type of religious hate and bigotry has absolutely no place in our nation.
This type of religious hate and bigotry has absolutely no place in our nation.
Tulsi Gabbard’s comments targeting Paterson’s Muslim community are reckless, false, and dangerous.
This kind of fearmongering has real consequences. Targeting Americans because of their faith is unacceptable, un-American, and will not be tolerated in New Jersey.

Tulsi Gabbard's dangerous attempt to sow fear, pit people against each other, and smear the Muslim Americans of Paterson, NJ is dishonest, cruel, and un-American – it endangers an entire community. In Jersey, we know our state's diversity is our strength and we stand up for our own.

🚨 The DOJ appears to have redacted Donald Trump’s name from the allegations made in this exhibit in the Epstein files.
Trump’s name was in the original release. Now, it’s blacked out.
See for yourself.

Garcia: In our initial estimation—It could be that we're only getting about 10% of what the DOJ has. And of that 10%, 5% of that has already been released. And the other 5% is highly redacted. So we're getting very little so far

“We don’t have to be kind, anymore” is a sentiment that seems to be manifesting explicitly and implicitly all over the place. An alarming number of people seem to be relishing the opportunity.
