The major platforms—Facebook, YouTube, and X—are all refusing to show the trailer for the upcoming documentary that eviscerates the ridiculous pest Elon Musk. So I guess we have to do our part to make sure it is seen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eY_8...

Discord is going to reintroduce Global Age Verification, which restricts teen accounts.
Teens will face several limitations:

To lift these restrictions, unverified adults can confirm their age via one of the following options:
- Credit Card checks via k-ID x Stripe

Friendly Neighborhood Mouse @missmouse.bsky.social · 06/09/2026
Friday morning, I was gardening when I checked my phone. A request had gone out for help. For 25+ hours, ICE had been laying siege to a quiet neighborhood in Frederick, MD. Community members were afraid, some didn’t want to leave their homes. ICE vehicles seemed to be lurking on every corner.
ICE vehicle - black Nissan Maxima with plate cover - posted up in a spot that also serves as an elementary school bus stop. Another ICE vehicle, black Dodge Durango, lurking around the community. Two more ICE vehicles - black Dodge Durango and a white SUV, unclear on make, model - on a quiet residential street, being quietly creepy. Note that the white SUV has its plate covered. Yet another ICE vehicle. Black Nissan Pathfinder. They were all over the neighborhood.

I really cannot think of a greater honor than to have the Muppets say this about you upon your passing
Instagram post from the official Muppets account: Few humans have earned the title of honorary Muppet more than the legendary Tim Curry. As a performer he was unparalleled - witty, charming, unnerving, and deeply funny. We will always consider it one of our greatest treasures to have been part of Long John Silver’s crew. Thank you for everything, Tim.

(AI actually has been used in science and medicine for decades and is incredibly good at doing things like finding cancer that can’t be seen with the human eye but that is a completely different type of AI then we’re all angry about it and we shouldn’t discuss them in the same conversations TBH)

My brother is a high school math teacher and has spent the summer creating new and exciting problems for his students to solve, and, for a few of them, he also made accompanying art. I wanted to share one with everyone, so we can all appreciate how much my brother is living his best life:
Text reads: Following the AI apocalypse of 2038, Mr. Murphy relocated his teaching job to a secret doomsday property near the Alaska range foothills. The lithium-powered killer robots limp around the permafrost like drunk Roombas while Mr. Murphy stays toasty warm in his bunker, building math curriculum for a rising generation of freedom fighters. 

The underground propane tank is a cylinder with a radius of 2.3ft and a length of 8ft and two hemispherical end caps. When burned, propane releases 91,500 BTU per gallon. Mr. Murphy estimates he will need about 520,000 BTU per day to heat the home during the winter. How many days can the tank last before refueling? (MATH FOLLOWS)

This is fucking terrifying
Separate research supports the concern. Anat Perry, a Helen Putnam Fellow at Harvard’s Radcliffe Institute and associate professor of psychology at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, co-authored a paper in Science examining how sycophantic AI responses erode users’ ability to calibrate their own judgment. The paper found that when AI systems consistently affirm a user’s position, the user’s capacity for independent evaluation degrades over time.

Joanna Stern, NBC’s chief technology analyst and author of “I Am Not a Robot: My Year Using AI to Do (Almost) Everything,” has documented the creep of AI dependency in daily life. Her reporting has shown how users begin with low-stakes queries, such as what to cook for dinner or what to wear, and gradually escalate to consequential decisions about careers, finances, and relationships. The trajectory from convenience to reliance is difficult to reverse once established.

When the AI bubble pops, every AI company will beg for a bailout and say AI is “too big to fail.” These companies tried to replace the artists, writers, workers, teachers, and journalists whose work they stole. They will demand you save them so they can take your job, too. Can God get a hell no?

You don't need to watch this. The trailer, the show, none of it. You are not a child anymore. There are other stories. Potter may have once been a well of inspiration or joy, but that well is poisoned by the venom of its creator who sees every engagement as endorsement of her war on trans people.

Fun note on this article, this company uses comfyUI, which boasts a collection of some of the most unethical and exploitative GenAi models. This whole deal is Netflix normalizing the exploitation of the creative workers—whose works GenAi companies stole to train their models— they hope to replace.
A twitter post from ComyUI company:
We're honored to see how Interpositive is using ComfyUl to help filmmakers stay focused on what matters most — the creative work.
Founded by Ben Affleck and built by filmmakers, for filmmakers, InterPositive has been on a mission to develop Al-powered tools that protect and expand creative choice. Their technology is purpose-built to match the language cinematographers and directors already speak, keeping creative decisions firmly in the hands of artists.
Today, that mission just got a massive boost.
Congratulations to the entire InterPositive team on joining @netflix .
It's a powerful reminder that the best creative technology doesn't replace human judgment —
it amplifies it.A shot of all the unethical foundational models that power comfyuiScreenshot from Netflix showcasing comfy ui

They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.
