I’m fascinated that Star Trek addressed the question with Barclay in the 90s. And the main solution was that society as a whole considered it out of line and sent him to therapy. Here most comments are “I’m not surprised” which is sad and terrifying.

This is a nuts story. An AI chatbot and image platform left millions of images exposed. They show what people are actually using the AI for: taking random women's yearbook, graduation, and social media photos and making super realistic hardcore porn with them www.404media.co/ai-porn-secr...

They absolve the viewer from confront a reality of rejection and having to grow as a person. Capitalism sold as a solution to alienations radicalizes young men into becoming pathetic forever-14 twitter Nazis. They will do anything to protect their supply of comfort. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDne...

AI and the internet have aided the goals of abusive men. Those yearbook photos are children, no matter what Megan Kelly says. Femicide rates are up, and an accused pedophile and rapist in one of the most powerful positions props up unregulated tech companies led by degenerates.

Just a reminder that Jamal Khashoggi was murdered because he was investigating (amongst other things) the fact that Jared Kushner allegedly was selling intelligence secrets to the Saudi Arabian government including the location of people disloyal to the Crown Prince Which is HIGH TREASON

I think the President of the US responding to a question about the murder of a journalist with "A lot of people didn't like that gentleman" is probably pretty bad.

As of the 2nd quarter of 2025, the average monthly car payment is $749 for new cars and $529 for used according to data from Experian. 7 year loan periods are also now more common than 5 year auto loans.

This thread is right. The point of DOGE was not what they *said* it was, but what they *did*. Steal all of our data. Destroy USAID. Profoundly destabilize civil service. Gain a competitive information advantage over both business and political rivals.

Joshua Foust 🪖🎮@joshuafoust.com · 8mo ago

Don’t do this, you guys. The enormous pile of dead bodies, and small but still massive of dead careers, would point to the opposite being true: DOGE was a massive financial and political boon to Elon Musk and it paid off marvelously for him at horrendous cost.

I dont even know what to say about this cause my 401K is already invested in fucking Blackrock and every war machine you can imagine through my job. I found out a couple months back. Everybody’s 401Ks are in crazy shit

Benefits@kgbenefits.bsky.social · 8mo ago

And it's all invested in maybe the biggest bubble ever. AI is going to crash everyone's 401k & ETF funds. They make up a third of our economy & simply can't be profitable.

Hi Bluesky! My name is Gabrielle A. Perry, MPH. I am an epidemiologist specializing in infectious diseases, a feminist writer (soon to be author), and founder of The Thurman Perry Foundation. I eat, sleep, & breathe helping women and girls. And I talk all things books, feminism, & incarceration!

Elon Musk donated $277 million to Trump so he could steal the federal government’s data, dismantle the nation’s infrastructure, and stop foreign aid from going to nonwhite people. It’s a quid pro quo breathtaking in scope, corruption, and damage, & completely unprecedented in American history.

Bye bye, “DOGE”. It no longer exists as a “centralized entity”, according to the Office of Personnel Management. @reuters.com www.reuters.com/world/us/dog...

In 2024 I investigated many similar accounts that posted very similar types of content, claiming to be ‘Trump supporting women’ from the US, but they were fake accounts using images stolen from European influencers. The findings were reported here 👇 edition.cnn.com/2024/08/28/e...

Stolen photos of European influencers used to push Trump propaganda on X | CNN

A phony campaign on X backing Trump ahead of the US election is using stolen or manipulated photos of real women in Europe to push its agenda.

edition.cnn.com

X rolled out a new feature overnight showing where accounts are based. This network of “Trump-supporting independent women” that claimed to be “real Americans” are based in Thailand. The photos were stolen from European models & posts pushed pro-Trump lines while targeting Islam and LGBTQ people.

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

Absolutely horrific. ICE detained and abducted a minor—a high school student—who the family identified as a US citizen. ICE is terrorizing our communities—I’m fighting for answers and accountability. This is just wrong.

derek guy@dieworkwear.bsky.social · 9mo ago

Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait. My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

Let's not get so sensitized to Trump's immense corruption that we ignore his daily smaller acts of corruption. Trump's own attorney Alina Habba boasted of her prosecution of Joseph Schwartz for his $38 million fraud. Then he paid $960K to MAGAt lobbyists & got full pardon from Trump. wapo.st/4igndux

Just want to remind everyone that Mike Flynn told a crowd of rabid QAnon troglodytes in no uncertain terms that the military should conduct a coup in order to reinstall Trump as an unelected dictator, and he never once was subject to the penalties that the UCMJ demands for that sort of thing

The admiration for someone as loathsome as Elon Musk is absurd. The same goes for ANY of these tech-obsessed monsters that praise this kind of thing as if it's some kind of religion. It says alot about how damaged & broken their egos are when they do this.

Trump's secret police vandalize houses and cars, assault citizens, fire potential lethal weapons for the hell of it, and assault children, often as sexual predators... and claim impunity for all of this. CATO proposes the fix. In the meantime it's essential to document all these crimes rigorously.

Trump has cited "national security concerns" to both levy tariffs and invest in private companies. Part of the problem is that there's no clear definition of what damage to national security actually means, so it's proving to be an easy way for the administration to manipulate the market.
