also, this assumes people 1) know they can even check for a watermark and 2) know HOW to check for a watermark

Google's statement that it includes a watermark that can identify them as AI-generated is completely braindead as to how disinformation works. You think people spending literally three seconds to derail a discussion give a shit about that? This is so easy to abuse www.404media.co/google-earth...

Asked for comment, Google pointed 404 Media to a tweet the company posted on Thursday. “We take misinformation seriously – every image created with Nano Banana in Google Earth includes the SynthID digital watermark, so if someone is unsure about an image, they can ask the Gemini app or use Lens in Search to see if the image was AI-generated. In addition, we prevent image creation on harmful topics and are continually updating our protections,” it read. This of course ignores the very obvious fact that plenty of people do not bother to verify themselves if an image is real or not. People spreading misinformation also often don’t care about eventually getting caught; they can cause a massive amount of damage to a certain conversation very quickly before anyone calls them out for their bullshit.

It is AGGRESSIVELY clear in Christmas Carol that Scrooge’s life directly leading up to the night of the story is a boring and monotonous grind of repetitive cruelty expressed via the dull repetition of petty humiliation.

"parasite outbreak blamed on taco bell because they're the only company reporting it" feels very "1918 flu blamed on Spain because they're the only country reporting it"

These guys aren’t sexist because they’re secretly gay; they’re misogynists because it’s perfectly possible to have sex with women and also hate them. That’s the central problem of heterosexuality, actually.

This morning, ICE killed a 26-year-old Colombian man in Biddeford, Maine. Minneapolis stands in solidarity with Biddeford, with Maine, and with the family, friends, and loved ones now grieving this loss. 1/

75,000 Minnesotans have benefited from our new nation-leading paid leave program. In Minnesota, we stand by the workers who drive our economy - whether you’re welcoming a new baby or taking care of a sick family member. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

As Minnesota paid leave program hits half-year mark, 75,000 have already tapped into it

Minnesota’s paid leave program gives workers time off with partial pay around family expansions or medical programs. So far almost 75,000 people have been approved for leave.

Antibiotics and vaccines alone improved the world immeasurably, even setting aside the fact that most of our ancestors had to work themselves to the bone just to have enough to eat (and even then all it took was one stretch of bad weather and then your whole village is facing starvation)

There really is a perverse sort of humor in watching ppl whose main activities are working an email job, getting things delivered to them, & looking at their phones too much bc like "god, people during X Time Period probably had it way easier than we do rn"

I was once arguing with a libertarian and I went “there are some things that it doesn’t matter if you make money off of them” and he stared at me like this

If New York City ran its school system like Amazon some of the diplomas would be delivered to the wrong porch, the students would be classified as independent contractors, and the school tax would keep changing every minute.
