I recently wrote an essay on what happened when I tried to trace the accountability for AI-generated sexual abuse. Turns out it's a whole messy situation where women and girls don't always get justice. forensicpsychology.substack.com/p/where-are-...

Last night I went to a local haunt that I had been to last year. Phenomenal production and beautiful examples of human creativity. And that was still there is there but there were a handful of places I spotted clear AI usage and it was incredibly disheartening.

i am having trouble articulating this but a system that excuses gang rape as a youthful error on behalf of college men with ~ bright futures ~ does so because it is served by producing older men who are comfortable with, even enthusiastic about, torturing people at the system's behest

Oh shit the White Sox are literally on a mission from God

Letter to Jerry Reinsdorf from the pope

I was pleased to receive the kind letter that you
sent
following the game that took place at Rate Field on August 11, 2026. I am most grateful for this thoughtful gesture.
As I have noted,
"sport can truly become a school of life,
where all can learn that abundance does not come from victory at any cost, but from sharing, from respecting others and from the joy of walking together" (Letter Life in Abundance, 6 February In this spirit, it is my hope that the White Sox will
continue to foster bonds of friendship and solidarity people, and thus bear hopeful witness to the possibility of living and working together in peace.
With
these sentiments, I willingly invoke the Almighty's
abundant blessings upon you and your loved ones.
From the Vatican, 9 September 2026

Genuine question. Company X manufactures a lawnmower that, every 3rd unit, spontaneously rolls itself out of the factory to destroy people's documents and kill their cats - for reasons Company X doesn't understand and can't control. Is there a mass tort suit somewhere I've missed, and if not, why?

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

Aaron Swartz, the famed coder and hacktivist who died by suicide in 2013, used similar language to describe Altman. Swartz had been batchmates with Altman in the inaugural class of 2005 at the Silicon Valley incubator Y Combinator, and warned his friends about Altman shortly before his passing.
"You need to understand that Sam can never be trusted," he told one confidante. "He is a sociopath. He would do anything."

It’s very simple. A reality TV host became dictator because he turned down a role for Sharknado 4 and that’s why the king of outer space, who cheats at Diablo, got to kill Africa. Now the economy is controlled by a sex cult that has something to do with Harry Potter fanfic because of robots.
