Rest well, Mary Rivera - Thank you for such a wonderful, fun performance as Ned's Lola. Growing-up around a Filipino Community, it was extra special seeing her on the Big Screen. Artist Ben DeGuzman made this Series of faux NED'S LOLA Comic Covers, which are really great. Please enjoy! #ComicSky

i just saw a reel on IG about how China's approach to AI, compared to the US, has the right guardrails. that may be so but dawg what???

Manya Koetse@manyapan.bsky.social · 2d ago

Anti-foreign content is nothing new on Chinese social media and dates back to the early days of Chinese social media. The age of AI has brought new dynamics to such content. Last year, AI-generated anti-Black videos presented cautionary tales about Chinese women becoming involved with African men.

July update on Cd values, which seem to be trending upward. Fly ball distances for given LA are same in July as in June, with both greater than April and May. I will continue to post monthly update for remainder of season.

NEW FROM ME: A frenzy of cruel and unusual ICE flights over the last few days suggests the Trump admin is ratcheting up its ethnic cleansing campaign. And it may be increasingly desperate to find willing collaborators. My breakdown: gillianbrockell.com/frenzy-of-cr...

Frenzy of cruel and unusual ICE flights shows Trump’s ethnic cleansing campaign is escalating – again

Seven apparent ICE removal flights in the last few days – including third-country removals, prolonged shackling, and failed deportations – reveal an agency ratcheting up.

feel like AIPAC was batting 1.000 until about 2025, when people realized that they would fund MAGA over an Israel critic.

Will Stancil@whstancil.bsky.social · 6d ago

AIPAC is bad, it supports a lot of bad candidates, its electioneering is often sketchy. No argument there. It also hasn't been particularly successful in achieving the outcomes it wants, and its transformation into the omni-villain of left-wing politics has obvious, disturbing historic echoes.

Still getting records back from schools that purchased Lumi, Kaepernick's genAI "edutech" comic book app. And I'd still like to speak to people with hands on experience. Maybe you're an educator, artist, parent, or student(!) who knows something about Lumi? If so: holler@bwd.nyc! (Or hit my DMs)

NEW: I obtained hundreds of emails between Colin Kaepernick's AI comic book startup and an Atlanta-area school district. The school superintendent gave the QB-turned-founder permission to write his answers on implementing tech in the classroom. issa new [eyeblack]

For about five years, people have made the category error of mistaking every transphobe in the country for a women's sports fan in waiting who just wants to make sure the competition is fair. I wonder how many of those people are in positions of power here. We will know shortly

The Sophie Cunningham thing seems like a massive problem for the WNBA and while there are probably leaders who could figure it out, my sense is that Cathy Engelbert ain't one of them. Also god what a tough one this could be for the union if it goes a certain way

apparently a white nationalist volunteered as a spotter at the International Powerlifting Federation world champs and deliberately sabotaged Sonita Muluh's world record attempt, and then outed himself as such online. what an era www.instagram.com/reel/DbRNrD_...
