(not) sorry to keep hammering the point, but this really is the thing: as AI-generated video becomes more sophisticated, it will only become harder for non-experts to tell what's real and what isn't based on incongruous details, but an old-fashioned "source??" will always give the sloppers away.

Nick Robinson advised someone to buy an ICE uniform from Amazon and impersonate ICE at the Somali and Islam Center. Nick works for the Depot Bay Fire District and sells MLM dietary supplements on the side. I wonder how Depot Bay feels about that?

Unbelievable. This would be a terrible blow to American science, writ large. It would decimate not only climate research, but also the kind of weather, wildfire, and disaster research that has underpinned half a century of progress in prediction, early warning, and increased resilience.
Exclusive: The Trump administration is moving to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, according to a senior White House official, taking aim at one of the world's leading climate research labs.

NCAR is quite literally our global mothership.
Everyone who works in climate and weather has passed through its doors and benefited from its incredible resources.
Dismantling NCAR is like taking a sledgehammer to the keystone holding up our scientific understanding of the planet.

Not unexpected, but still a punch in the gut. NCAR has always been a shining jewel of weather research, and an architectural gem, and my favorite field trip to visit the Cray II.

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

this article is straight up anti-socialist propaganda. No fucking person in their right mind does not think she should be fired (sans racist creeps). Their repeated “as a socialist” is a lie.

Looks like ICE found a greedy old fuck on the coast eager to rent his resort to the thugs trying to open a kidnapping facility in nearby Newport.
A friend on the coast attended the Waldport OR city council meeting today, as they were discussing potentially ICE being housed at the Alsi Resort there. I’m going to copy/paste their Mastodon dispatches in chronological order (1/12)

For a long time, Oregon was a destination for folks who drink and brew beer. And Portland was THE destination. F.H. Steinbart Company, thought to be the nation's oldest home brew supply store, played a key role in helping build the city's reputation.
