As furious as I am with Americans for wilfully electing Trump & effectively terminating their own democracy, my main issue with them is the way they mispronounce Craig.

Just heard Julia Roberts being interviewed and the things she is saying are so reminiscent of Gregg Turkington on @oncinema.bsky.social that I’m wondering if @neilhamburger.bsky.social is scripting her answers for her.

When I was reporting in Sudan several years ago, a driver warned me not to tell government officials when I was leaving because the airport is where they stop and detain writers.

So, yeah, this is a very bad sign. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Yesterday, Meta unveiled a new "feed" on its platforms that will exclusively feature AI-generated videos.

This overshadowed another big announcement...

On Tuesday, Meta launched a super new PAC geared towards electing politicians that will block any AI regulation.
