China Silences Environmental Reporters in Africa to Protect Its Investments
“We’re talking about a nation that is not only highly repressive but also the second-largest economy globally,” said Sarah Cook, who worked for years for Freedom House, which defends civil liberties…
The Chinese government’s repression of journalists at home is well-known. Less visible is how that machinery now reaches far beyond its borders.

Fake book cover for “A field guide to Duck Butts of Western Canada” by Janet E. Hill, Ph.D. There is a picture of a duck with its butt sticking straight up as it forages on the bottom of a pond.
Another year almost over and I still haven’t made any progress on my book project. Sigh. #birds

2 panel comic titled “A Guide to Telling Your Friends How Much You Love Them” by Alex Plante
1. write a nice, vulnerable heartfelt message. struggle to hit "send" because society has dumb implied rules, and you are a COWARD.
[drawing] message that reads:
hey I just wanted to tell you that I am so glad we're friends! I'm a better person than I was before I met you, and knowing you has improved my life in every way. Thanks for always being there for me! Nothing makes me happier than dicking around and talking shit with you. I will always be there, fighting in your corner. Love you forever (or until I die) <3
2. strategically place spoiler tags. now it's funny, so you HAVE to send it, or go to jail for the crime of
"not committing to the bit" haha get cherished, losers!
[drawing] same message, but words have been redacted to make it read:
“hey just wanted to tell you that I’m a better person than you in every way. Thanks for Nothing dick shit. I will fight you forever until I die.”
hey do you want to show appreciation to your loved ones in discord dms or other places that use markdown, but struggle with earnest vulnerability? boy howdy, look no further!
(alternatively, if the meaningful message doesn’t matter, just take a sharpie to a letter and send it in the mail) #comic

I think it would be fun if writers who love language started intentionally writing more strangely as AI flattens written "content" into a mono-voice. it would cool I think if writers responded by focusing their individual efforts on cultivating a really unique voice that's hard to copy

Siri “unintentionally” recorded private convos; Apple agrees to pay $95M
Apple users may get $20 each for up to five Siri-enabled devices.
“The only clue that users seemingly had of Siri’s alleged spying was eerily accurate targeted ads that appeared after they had just been talking about specific items like Air Jordans or brands like Olive Garden, Reuters noted”

Stuck in a Fever Dream - VIE Magazine
In an era dominated by fleeting trends and algorithm-driven hits, 12Eleven stands apart—carving out a sound that pushes boundaries.
So non-prestige regional magazines are just fully AI-generated now, huh? This is a profile of a band that does not include:
-any quotes from the members
-the titles of any of their songs
-any details about them or their music
-the members’ full names lmao
