An all-white dog laying miserably on the floor with a cone on. Half of her face is shaved because she had to get stitches to close a gash.
Dogs are great if you have money and want that to no longer be the case.

Shortly after the first set of explosions, Iranians received bursts of notifications on their phones, not from the government advising caution, but from a prayer timing app called βBadeSaba Calendarβ which has been downloaded 5 million times from the Google Play Store.
The messages arrived in quick succession over a period of 30 minutes, starting with the phrase βHelp Has Arrivedβ at 9:52 am Tehran time. No party has claimed responsibility for the hacks.
Screenshots shared with WIRED Middle East show messages urging Iranian military personnel to surrender their weapons with the promise of amnesty. It also urged army personnel to join βthe forces of liberationβ and to βdefend your brothers.β

OpenAI posted the terms of the deal. Reveals that it absolutely does allow for domestic surveillance. EO 12333 is how the NSA hides its domestic surveillance by capturing communications by tapping into lines *outside the US* even if it contains info from/on US persons.

Crypto casino Stake pays Drake and other stars to bet, spreading clips of big wins to impressionable gamblers. The numbers show unusual luck is at work.

Epstein Paid Reputation Firms to Suppress Child Sex Offenses Online
Jeffrey Epstein tapped online reputation management firms to bury negative coverage of his 2008 sex offense conviction and flood the internet with favorable content in a years-long effort to rehabilit...
There is a lot to find darkly comic in the Epstein files. What struck me in this @oliviasolon.bsky.social piece was the way he accesses the top intellectual echelons, pioneers in AI, physics. Yet spends so much time grubbing around with "SEO experts" and grifters. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Itβs depressing to see women try to claw back control of their images by imploring a chatbot not to misuse their photos.
Posts like these are reminiscent of the copyright declarations you used to see on Facebook. Totally understandable but unlikely to have the desired effect.

So much interesting in this (and good work on @caseynewton.bsky.social documenting it). One thing to note though, Google's watermarking identified the image of the badge as created by its AI tool. Other image generators haven't bothered implementing anything similar, why? (Looking at you, Sora.)

This thread chimes with my experience on so many fronts. Whether it's conspiracy theorists, freelancers pitching stories, or people applying for jobs it's so hard to filter based on writing quality. Weirdly I end up trusting the typo-strewn, clearly-dashed-out-by-a-human-in-a-hurry emails more now.
