Yet again, the most common harm of AI-image generators is nonconsensual porn (as it's been for the past ~decade). Perhaps unsurprising given the sex cult reporting, this is an obvious problem with clear demonstrated harms and tech companies have put very little effort into solving it.

Unfortunately their pivot to doing quiet ethnic cleansing instead of having bozo agents murder people in the streets has worked and there has been basically zero coverage lately of any of this and all those whose lives are being ruined

The Trump regime admitted in court filings that the cancellation of clean energy grants for Hawaiʻi was because the state voted for Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election, rather than the previously stated reasons of advancing energy needs or economic viability.

Trump Administration Lawyers Admit Hawaiʻi Funding Cuts Were Partisan
The admission about terminated clean energy grants emerged in recent court filings, confirming what many already suspected.

This is such a flagship moment for where America is right now. Gun violence, showmanship, celebrity, mass confusion, and also according to C-SPAN, people are opening the bottles of wine still on the tables.

Netanyahu is bombing Lebanon because his political career (and therefore avoidance of prosecution) depends on constant war. How many more people must die for the sake of one man's standing?

Basically, Trump sees the ayatollah as an unruly pro wrestler who is off script doing a shoot and the ayatollah sees Trump as the guy who killed his family.

Exclusive: Prior to Iran attacks, CIA assessed Khamenei would be replaced by hardline IRGC elements if killed, sources say
In the run-up to the U.S. and Israeli attacks on Saturday, the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency assessed that even if Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in the operation, he would likely be replaced by hardline figures from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), two sources briefed on the intelligence said.

If there is one industry that I've noticed tends to have the most lazy/careless workers in it, it's truck driving. Every day I come across drivers that don't appear to have much common sense, are lazy or just carelessly incompetent. If you want your work to be valued, show that you care about it.

Lindsey Vonn crashing and needing airlifted off the course is the perfect example of "stupid ≠ brave". It was a predictable outcome in a short saga of hers that felt irresponsible at best, trying to prove something that didn't need proving. #olympics

So between Stake and now Moonpay being naming sponsors, the #XGames rebrand appears to really be targeting the more edge non-traditional sponsors. I feel the optimism in growing the events again and its good seeing big crowds, just maybe not the biggest fan of where the money comes from 🙄

Our information space is dominated by a system that demands and rewards continous and immediate emotional gratification, so you can't even begin to have a discussion about complex issues. It's a bright cancer that spreads and multiplies with every interaction.
