Say what you want about him, but Royce White has incredible skill in one particular subject: somehow not making Michele Tafoya the worst person in a room
Heartland Signal@heartlandsignal.bsky.social · 7h ago"How are they going to tell you the difference between the biological sex of your crops?" MN GOP Senate candidate Royce White went on a rant at Farmfest, attacking Democrats on gender identity and claiming California is giving power to "communists." #Farmfest
Word from sources on the ground is that these throngs of street revelers are even giving out food, exchanging communiques, and wielding bats, handheld projectiles, and other menacing implements. Total. Anarchy.
ICE OUT State Fan@therealjoro.bsky.social · yesterdayGuerilla forces across Minneapolis have mobilized, cordoning off dozens of blocks with improvised barricades to render them impassable by car, and gathering en masse in the middle of the street This is truly a dark day for our fair city.

Just when you think @angiecraigmn.bsky.social can’t get any lower… she is using that image of Liam without permission in an ad to vilify her opponent. Reminder that Angie voted for Laken-Riley, Angie voted to bring ICE into our community and then she voted to THANK ICE. Liam deserves better
The weather in the Twin Cities today is perfect if you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to be a soup dumpling
Twin Cities, this is one of the people who was working on top of the roof in Chanhassen when ICE trapped them on the roof. People rushed to their defense from miles away. But these laborers were stuck in freezing temperatures for hours at a time & suffered injuries. Please help as you're able 💙🩵

The ICE murder of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo deserves the same fury as Renee Good and Alex Pretti
So you know how you can’t see images right now, but when the images have alt text you still know what they were supposed to be? That’s why alt text is important. Accessibility benefits everyone!
Pool supposed to be blue, now green, can mean only one thing: someone peed in the pool

Obama paid 1.7 billion to Iran and that was supposedly bad but if I read this correctly Trump has agreed to pay Iran over 300 billion dollars lol

Like we even needed another reason. But this is a huge one for me. Deep fakes are nonconsensual. Deep fakes are invasive. Deep fakes should result in jail time.
Peggy Flanagan@peggyflanagan.bsky.social · 2mo agoToday, you might see a TV ad starring something that... kind of looks like me. My opponent's super PAC is using an AI deepfake of me to mislead voters. They can't win with the truth - so they're resorting to lies. It's disgusting. Minnesotans deserve better.
This is absolutely nuts: hackers are hijacking high-profile Instagram accounts by simply asking Meta's AI chatbot to change the email on the account. Meta's AI does it, hacker gets password reset code, they're in. A staggering security issue www.404media.co/hackers-simp...
Hackers Simply Asked Meta AI to Give Them Access to High-Profile Instagram Accounts. It Worked
The exploit shows the extreme risk of offloading technical support to AI.

Every summer I repost this article on how to spot drowning. Please read it and pass on. In the last few years I’ve had SIX messages from people who saved a kid’s life after clicking on the link from my feed. slate.com/technology/2...
Drowning Doesn’t Look Like Drowning
Drowning is not the violent, splashing call for help that most people expect.

The kids are alright
404 Media@404media.co · 3mo agoFormer Google CEO Eric Schmidt was booed throughout this commencement speech at the University of Arizona for his praise of AI. This comes just a week after another commencement speaker who mentioned AI was booed at a school in Florida. Read more: www.404media.co/ucf-ai-comme...

A brief story: This morning a child went missing on the way to school in my neighborhood. Law enforcement and search and rescue were called, and also the networks we built for ICE Rapid Response. 1/2
Alright, I’m home now so here’s the Norm update. Yesterday at 4pm, I got a text from a family I’ve been helping who had a loved one abducted a couple of days after Renée Good’s murder. This was the family that Norm Nation kept from being evicted (and you delivered). ICE had released their loved one.
As promised, here’s my tax day rant. For 99% of taxpayers, the IRS already has the data to send you an almost fully completed 1040 for you to add a few pieces of data to, automatically recalculate, be done. It doesn’t because of Intuit.
Iran: We will blockade the straits of Hormuz if you attack us. Donald: No, WE will blockade the straits of Hormuz unless you surrender to us. Iran: Ok. That might save us some trouble tbh.
a “ceasefire” that lasted 17 hours and killed 254 people in lebanon is not a ceasefire and referring to it as one is inaccurate
Found this to be informative video, that puts things into perspective. Via Max Fisher on Instagram www.instagram.com/reel/DWrsUcU...
Social Media Lab@socialmedialab.ca · 4mo agoThe last of the ships that made it out of the strait is set to arrive in Japan & S. Korea in the next 8-10 days. Then it's lights out for some countries in Asia. www.cbc.ca/news/busines...
It's only worth going back to the Moon if it makes us look properly again at Earth, and appreciate how beautiful, precious and fragile what we have here is. The most famous images from Apollo aren't about the Moon - they're pictures of Earth. We need to stop taking our home for granted.
Chat, they are NOT done in Minneapolis. Don't let the media silence fool you. We are still under threat every day.
