It was over for Max Miller politically when he said his wife couldn’t have been abused because she offered to make him dinner 6 days later. He may not have known it when he said it, but that was the end. You have to be a sick bastard to come up with that as your defense.

There’s no excuse that you can use to stay on these platforms. None. You either support a business using CSAM, or you have morals. People will find you in different places if they give enough of a shit about you / your biz. Every second you spend on those platforms earns them af revenue to continue

Over the last nine months, Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta has run dozens of paid ads that include explicit AI-generated child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and images of minors alongside sexually suggestive statements, according to details of the ads shared with WIRED.

AI companies scraping websites at scale is a real problem. But a proposed NY law could make it harder for libraries, journalists & researchers to preserve the web and investigate the powerful. That's why we've joined @eff.org & others in a letter to Gov. Hochul. blog.archive.org/2026/08/04/i...

One of the worst companies for micro transactions and screwing over gamers is now fully private. No need to answer to anyone and they just added 20 billion in debt they have to make up. Good thing no one can afford consoles so they won’t be able to afford these games making shit even worse

perfect example of how hospitals are the worst: some have been using an app that will post an open shift that needs filled, will ask nurses to place a bid on that shift, and the bid includes the hourly wage at which they are willing to work, then the system gives the shift to the LOWEST bidder

A data center was just shut down in Wisconsin after the town council refused to have private talks with the developer and told them everything would include public approval That’s how it’s done, folks

That's what taxes are, man. That's the definition of taxes. "You are subsidizing things you might never use" man shut the fuck up. My taxes currently subsidize like oil company exec private jets, you think I'm upset at low-income people eating inexpensive bananas?

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.
