I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

This disingenuous commentary doesn’t help anyone. Frauds start unravelling pretty quickly. That you apparently cannot afford to put your oven or treat yourself is quickly undermined by the question “so why are you spending £50 per week on petrol?” Then, it turns out, she has an agent and /1

Elaine in this article "can't remember the last time she used her oven" but also spends £200 a month on petrol (so driving probably ~50 miles a day?) (she's also a professional old person; she was on Good Morning Britain last year, and then also at the Nov budget, and the year before lmao)

Meta now lets anyone use your Instagram photos in AI images without your consent. SAG-AFTRA recommends that #SagAftraMembers (and all Instagram users) opt-OUT of Meta’s new AI image generation tool, Muse Image. Take action to protect your likeness.

If you want to avoid AI generations of your Instagram posts without switching your account to private, you’ll have to dig into the app’s settings. Open the Instagram app, tap your profile, and then tap the three lines in the top-right corner of the screen. Then, scroll down to the Sharing and reuse tab. Here is where you should see a section labeled Allow people to use your content on Instagram and with AI features on Meta, with a toggle for Posts and one for Reels.

The fact that people are making jokes about this is sickening. It's not funny when someone dies or almost dies. McConnell has long-struggled with autoerotic asphyxiation and was found by the police with a belt around his neck and his erect penis in his hand. It's not a fucking joke.

Sen. Mitch McConnell was found unconscious when rushed to the hospital.

It's so draining and embarrassing being part of the video game industry Some of us are *really* trying to do good work, and it just feels completely, constantly overshadowed by fucking idiots doing what they describe as "business" Honestly just don't even like saying I'm part of *this* anymore

On March 26, 2026, during a debate on violence against women in Germany’s Bundestag, left-wing MP Kathrin Gebel was repeatedly interrupted by AfD MP Martin Reichardt. She responded: “Mr. Reichardt, the clitoris has 3,000 nerve endings, and you’re still more sensitive. That’s quite an achievement.”

Deus Ex, a sci-fi masterpiece, was released 26 years ago today! Do you know what that means? It means we're halfway through the time span between the release of this cyberpunk game, 2000, and the events depicted in its story, which takes place in 2052. 😎

The video game cover for "Deus Ex" features a man with dark hair, wearing futuristic goggles, looking upwards with a beam of bright light shining down on his face from above. His head and shoulders are visible against a dark, futuristic cityscape silhouette with several tall buildings and flying vehicles. The game's title, "Deus Ex," is written in a stylized, metallic, and somewhat cyberpunk font at the top of the image, illuminated by a white glow.

I'm still in awe about the EU youth mobility scheme, where it's uncontroversial and he believes in it... and he's.. just letting some cabinet ministers kill it on vibes? What? Same with Hillsborough. Why let Mahmood block Hillsborough if you want it? YOU ARE HER BOSS, KEIR!

Currently exploring the methodology of the consultation that the government used to justify a social media ban for under-16s. I'm not saying it was deliberately designed to generate results that would justify a ban... but I can't see what you'd change about it if that was your goal. Updates soon
