Big tech pedophiles empowered by a pedophile president and his administration
Katie Drummond@katie-drummond.bsky.social · 13h agoNEW: Meta has run dozens of paid ads that include explicit, AI-generated child sexual abuse material in recent months. Some as recently as this week. "These are ads that were reviewed, approved, and allowed to run by Meta, never encountering interference while the company collected the ad dollars."
Somehow things that would have been a background gag in a Verhoeven movie are now just real
The booing of what sounds like a foreign (and no doubt in the man's mind, 'Islamic') name, really speaks volumes about the mindset of some Trump supporters. Even when Trump is gone, this white Christian nationalist section of US society will still remain.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 10h agoLOMBARDO: So I know the pastor spoke about Officer Abdelnabi-- TRUMP RALLY CROWD: *Boooooo* LOMBARDO: No. We're not booing him. He's the officer that passed away here recently
El-Sayed: "Mike, I'm gonna say it right now, I know you're gonna say no because you're a coward: Five debates, alright? ... By the time we're done, you are not gonna have safe quarter from people holding you accountable to what you've done for them here in Michigan. We will send you back to Florida"
This is just rank Islamophobia and anti-Arab racism, based on the bigoted idea that there is something inherently scary about a president with the last name "El-Sayed." It is incumbent on all of us to call it out.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 16h agoJD Vance: "We don't want the next administration, whoever -- god forbid you're gonna have President El-Sayed in three years ... "

This screed is so misguided and full of weird, bad ideas. It's got that vibe of "I didn't really think this through and actually don't even understand the subject much, but I want to yell about it anyway." Which is fine for Gen Pop internet, but like, maybe keep it off the HWA newsletter, wtf.
Holly Lyn Walrath@hollylynwalrath.bsky.social · yesterdayThere is a lengthy pro-AI screed in the latest HWA newsletter and it is . . . a mood.
The extent to which I would notice it at all would be me being less irritated when I Google something

SpaceX rocket hours away from crashing into the moon in unintentional collision
Piece of SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket weighing four tonnes will hit the lunar surface on Wednesday at 5,400 miles per hour A four-tonne piece of a SpaceX rocket that has been floating in space since last year is set to unintentionally crash into the moon at high speed on Wednesday, a collision that poses no danger to Earth but will leave behind a new lunar crater and afford an opportunity for further scientific research. The school-bus-size object is the second stage of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket that had launched a lunar lander from Firefly Aerospace toward the moon in January 2025. Continue reading...

There are 15 core states, but cyclosporiasis cases have been reported in 45 states where more than 270 million people live during the current outbreak. This is why we built (pre Trump’s first administration) a functioning CDC and FDA, to avoid the human and economic impact of disease like this.

This would’ve kept me out of school sports. I was terrified of going to the doctor as a kid because I was made to take my shirt off. I didn’t go to the in-school scoliosis screening because I didn’t like getting undressed in front of people. This will keep girls out of sports entirely.
Gillian Branstetter@gbbranstetter.bsky.social · 3d agoAn initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play
It's absolutely insane we've somehow let the Covid recriminations debate become like "why didn't we reopen in person schools before there was a vaccine" and not "why did none of the trump guys go to jail for stealing PPE from New York hospitals in March 2020"
per this source: the blue ash ICE office said that for some of these Haitian clients, who got ankle monitors on today, the feds were placing them on a 75-mile restriction, but….. the court they’d need to go to is more than 75 miles from Springfield, Ohio.

Pirro repeatedly and strenuously blames the Dept of Interior for this debacle, alleging they withheld info that the lining was botched. "Had DOI been forthcoming with the information clearly in its possession, the government would not have sought a grand jury indictment."

Make no mistake here. This is Trump objectively taking the side of Iran, a nation we are currently at war with, over the Americans in Minnesota because he hates the governor and the fact that a majority of voters there did not vote for him
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 6d agoTrump: "We heard in Minnesota there was a cyberattack and they blame it on Iran. I don't think so. I blame it on Minnesota because they're grossly incompetent. Iran's got bigger problems than worrying about Minnesota."
There is no meaningful use case for Google’s new “faking satellite imagery with AI” product.
Doremus Schafer@doremus-schafer.bsky.social · 6d agoGoogle put out a five-point bullet list of supposed use cases, it is, uh, not wildly convincing. My 'favorite' is 'have the stochastic parrot show your students what historical sites looked like in olden days'. blog.google/products-and...
This is such BS. The 75 y/o who sees an image on her Facebook feed isn’t going to say, “hmm, let me ask the Gemini app to look for the synth ID watermark”.
