Huh. Meta's already market-lagging AI offering will be trained on Newsmax data. Now, I get that Zuckerberg is now full fascist but given Trump's deep unpopularity and the schisms in maga over Iran, etc. it seems like a bold choice. Is this Meta's MySpace moment? popular.info/p/meta-will-...
Meta will train its AI on far-right media outlet
This week, Newsmax — a far-right news organization with a strong allegiance to President Trump and a history of pushing wild conspiracy theories — announced it had struck a deal with Meta.

I’m loving the new album from @theblackdrumset.bsky.social Hypnotic, layered, unexpected. Check it out

Delighted for Spain. I’d say FIFA need to investigate Argentina for their dirty tactics, but looking for justice from the corrupt is daft.

Soderbergh's new picture, The Christophers, is just A+ in every respect. Ian McKellen and Michaela Cole are both just so masterful. James Corden and Jessica Gunning are extremely satisfying as the old artist's grifting children. The whole movie is a warm bath of cranky wonderfulness. #filmsky
Good thread raising some interesting questions around FIFA's consistently unequal application of rules
Melissa Nadia Viviana 🐸@resistrebelrevolt.net · last mo.THREAD: Some thoughts on Balogun’s red card: beyond the headlines. From someone who has watched 90 out of 92 of the World Cup matches so far:🧵
I think Balogun should sit out the match tonight. It's the only way to mitigate the damage from Trump and FIFA's clearly corrupt intervention. Obviously, that's a big personal sacrifice, but instead of being forever stained with this, he sets an example for the world. #worldcup
John Washburn ❌👑@johnwashburn.com · last mo.The red card was a bad call. The White House intervening with Fifa to get it suspended is worse. #worldcup

Norway! As an Arsenal supporter I'm against Man City so Haaland is a notorious figure. But I'm half-Norwegian, and Odegaard is hero in my house, so of course I'm supporting... Haaland is a beast. Whipped one in off a header and then megged a defender for a gorgeous low right corner. Brutal.
Even Messi looks disappointed Cabo Verde didn’t win

Melissa Nadia Viviana 🐸@resistrebelrevolt.net · last mo.Final OT: Argentina 3-2 Cabo Verde 8 saves by 40 yr old Vozinha. Many were toe to toe with 39 yr old Messi. Ranking disparity 67-1! Man oh man. Cape Verde lost on paper, but won so, so much in narrative. Phenomenal! FIFA fed them to the lions. Just imagine if they'd been put in another group.
Just noticed a bunch of new followers all of a sudden... Guessing it's not something I said since I haven't said much lately. Hello everybody! What're you working on/thinking about/watching/listening to?
Just cast my vote for @bradlander.bsky.social and @lydiagreenbk.bsky.social Let’s goooooo!
My project has landed a really fun attachment I’m super excited to tell you all about but of course can’t yet for reasons that might make sense to someone #filmsky #scriptsky
Our mayor is okay. And not just for this, though this counts. I don't care what the right wing nutbaggerati tells you.

happy Pride Eve to all the people who are about to paraphrase this tweet from 2022 or repost it with my name removed as if it’s a thought they just had themselves
When Robert Smith sings “Misjudged your limit/Pushed you too far” in Boys Don’t Cry, what “limits” is the narrator talking about? That’s like a kinky sex thing isn’t it…
