genuinely starting to realize that a scary number of people on my end of the political spectrum really will excuse anything from long COVID to CSAM generation if it means not having to change their routine and i have no words for how i feel about that

A lot of people are noticing the spread of AI sexual abuse material on X now, but it has been happening for years. Young actresses like Jenna Ortega and Xochitl Gomez fled the platform. Even celebrities say there’s nothing they can do to stop it. Misogynistic violence is the main reason I left X.

This is a category error IMO. They don’t see it as the paper’s job to investigate whether Pepsi actually is The Choice Of A New Generation, or if Coke really is It. Their job is to present you with the proposition, so the public can decide.

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.

Made steak and eggs for breakfast and cut some pieces off for the cats.
Dorian refused to touch it in his bowl, so I moved it to the table and he IMMEDIATELY was interested.
Learning more about my cat's motivations every day!

The VioGén algorithm gave Lina a medium risk score and as a result, the courts refused to give a restraining order.
Within three weeks, she had been murdered.

In Spain, police have developed technology to work out how at-risk women might be from domestic violence. Some people have grave concerns about how often the algorithm is wrong.
