POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

destroying the WP was certainly the goal, but it's interesting to see it destroyed in this way that reveals how unpopular the fascist project is along the way. they could have just eroded it over a longer span of time, but didn't.

I do tend to think: this is not a consumer product, this is a weapon marketed and sold to states and militaries, and nobody is pretending otherwise

Why, on God's green earth, would I ever upload a 3D likeness of my face and voice to a software so that strangers could make deepfakes of me.

Unlike the original Sora, Sora 2 isn’t a mere video-generation platform; it’s a social app with a TikTok-style feed of short AI-generated clips, and it allows you to authorize a “cameo” of yourself so friends can drop your likeness into their skits—and to revoke it later once you’ve seen too many videos of yourself fleeing police or crying on game shows.

With how bad everything else has gotten lately you sometimes almost forget we're living through a global climate collapse.

Warming waters cause corals to “bleach” when these organisms expel symbiotic algae that provide nutrients, oxygen & vibrant colors.

The latest global bleaching event - researchers estimate >84% of the planet's coral ecosystems have been affected since Jan 2023 - has made it clear the crisis is now.

I know it’s the most obvious thing in the world but it’s really sad that so many people have absolutely no desires or dreams in life except to accumulate money and our entire world is becoming a fucking pit because of it

A good way to go insane is to reread stuff published in November 2008 www.independent.co.uk/voices/comme...

The Obama administration will have no difficulty in closing Guantanamo. But how can the US atone for the use of torture on Donald Rumsfeld's watch? By ratifying the Torture Convention, for a start. And then by taking an initiative that would, for the first time, provide a meaningful safeguard for its prisoners of war, namely by waiving its right to confidentiality in Red Cross prison visitation reports.
