two images of an arrest, one digitally altered by the White House to make it look like the arrestee is crying

This is the first example I’ve seen of an American government using AI to meaningfully misrepresent actual events with the intent to deceive the public. We are at Stalinesque levels of propaganda.

No apologies necessary. Congratulations on establishing yourself elsewhere!

Good on you. Glad you did.

Okay, kids. Elon showed me his not-see side for the last time.

So I'm fully over here now. My tweeter account has been derezzed.

I'm done with his white supremacy.

Having to watch a bootlegged copy of a video from another country because my country censored it is making me feel as if I'm living in 1980s Eastern Germany.

18 months ago, I searched Bsky for every Twitr account I followed. Many weren't here. Today, I checked the list again, and only ten additional Twitr "follows" have accounts here.

I really want to kick Twitr to the curb, but there's too many important voices over there.

Thanksgiving and the National Day of Mourning As injustices upon Indigenous Americans perpetuate, we must act to counter that systemic oppression

This Thanksgiving—observe the National Day of Mourning.

From 1819 to 1969, US Govt stole tens of thousands of Indigenous kids—forcing them to convert to Christianity & stripping them of their identities. Resistance was met with violence. Sexual abuse was rampant.

Amazon ends little-used privacy feature that let Echo users opt out of sending recordings to company Amazon is ending a little-used privacy feature that let some users of its Echo smart speaker prevent their voice commands from going to the company’s cloud.

It's bad enough knowing that Amazon is taking this setting away.

But it's a bit disheartening to learn that people didn't use it.

Benghazi this shit.

Make this Senate investigation last months and drag them in for questioning every day.

Tragically beautiful writing... as always. Give this a read.

DONALD TRUMP: "My tariffs are gonna be great for America!"

This is not about merit; it’s about normalizing racism and misogyny

Has anyone capitalized on using “rawdoged” as a fitting term for the decimation of the federal government?

Because if not, it definitely seems to fit for this effin’ it’s getting

Devil Inside

The popularity of the ‘Mar-a-Lago face’ soars in Trump’s inner circle Botox, visible facial fillers and exaggerated tans comprise the aesthetic popular among Donald Trump’s entourage. What’s behind this new fad?

At least they’ll be easy to spot.

Buncha people who look like Carrot Top.

I hate to say this, but I am happy for this asshole to sit in his own feces for a while.

Europe and the Americas already figured out that they have no help from us now, so let him suffer his own undoing.

Too bad, though. It was a nice country

United States support for Ukraine was never about securing mineral rights.

Or providing security for money.

It was about democracy and sovereignty. And a willingness to defend our allies and oppose our enemies.

Trump is betraying Ukraine, but also our values. Our history and our legacy.

In case you missed it, Germans overwhelmingly rejected neo-f​a​s​c​i​s​t rule this weekend.

In case you missed it, Elon M​u​s​k has been calling for neo-f​a​s​c​i​s​ts to win in Germany.

M​u​s​k is​​ *absolutely* on the wrong side of history.

Given the current climate in DC, we may soon lose the CFPB. When that happens, freezing will literally become your only backstop of resort.

Freeze. All. Four. Of. Your. Credit. Reporting. Agency. Accounts. Now. Then freeze your spouse’s. Now.

Don’t be alarmed. Act pragmatically.

Having some skillz is not the same as a disciplined approach to maintain data integrity and confidentiality.

If you want a sober, harrowing explanation of the damage to federal computer systems by DOGE, read this Bruce Schneier blog.

Brace yourself. Y’aint gonna like it.

funny story, but I mistakenly thought that I was sending a DM to this person.

I feel like a goober. Anyway, that account is blocked, and 🙏 to you, my friend!

Are you describing zero width spaces? Those are diabolically difficult to notice.

Thank you for the reminder.

This past week has been a disheartening shit-show, and I needed the refocus.

I agree with you. I like being productive more!

If you happen to be a curious person about this subject…

Rest in peace, #Cecile.
