🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!

ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

After illegally invading Venezuela and kidnapping their head of state-regardless of how evil he might be

Trump now plans to illegally steal their oil

Meanwhile he’s threatening Mexico, Iran, Colombia and Cuba-after attacking Nigeria on Christmas

America has now joined the axis of evil

"Maduro is a brutal authoritarian dictator," I wisely intone, as the corrupt demented paedophile US President violating Constitutional Law while operating a gestapo and concentration camps illegally arrests a foreign leader on charges which read like they were written on a paper placemat in crayon.

Oh boy, seems like our country is next

bragging because they believe they can get away with it. "yes it is in fact an occupation, yes it is all about oil, and what can you do about it" comically upfront

You act as this was the first unconstitutional action of the Republicans that faced 0 opposition from Democrats. People call them spineless because time and time again, they just let Republicans do whatever they want

the thing is, if genAI & LLMs were just a niche little tech toy for like a few thousand techies to play with, it'd probably be fine. people would have concerns, but it wouldn't be a BIG deal.

but they have been declared The Future, the whole of the future, and so now we have to fucking fight it

Why are you looking at semantics of a damn Bsky post? You’re assuming the absolute worse of people for no reason, what are you doing?

Miku is so handsome

This has always been a extremely tiny screeching minority demanding that their bigotry dictate that no one else's children can learn of the existence of LGBTQ people.

I'm just trying to dispel misconceptions from artists. Be happy, use tools to make your art less stressful. As I said, it's only unethical when you copy other people's work and try to convince everyone it's yours. That's why so many artists hate AI—this tool does exactly that.

I’m quoted in today’s issue of Forbes.

HOW TO LET BSKY KNOW THEIR POLICY CHANGES HARM ARTISTS: A GUIDE FOR MOBILE USERS! 🧵

Sending feedback is SUPER easy, and takes just a few clicks!

1. Open the left tab menu, and click that "feedback" button
2. Put your concern in the box. I'll copy paste a script to use! (CONT.)

See 'cause THIS is the better solution. This right here: the ability to label, tag and filter content so people can decide what they do or do not want to see.

You might see several artists mad about the bluesky policy update banning non-con, even artists who do not make that kind of material, and wonder why it's such a problem. If that's you, here is a quick breakdown:

🧵

Wanna post this again because I still see some people saying "they just want to ban rape, what's the big deal?" and this is an excellent explainer.

It's really amazing how much of the effort to retaliate is focused on people who're like, "Here are the things he said."

As if Charlie Kirk's legacy cannot stand real scrutiny.

Reactions like this are why I wrote my article. I presented his comments IN CONTEXT, and provided tons of receipts.

Charlie Kirk was not a civil person.

there's an easier way to disable this feature, using the right-click menu:

Screenshot from a Tumblr post by ralfmaximus: Mozilla, in its finite wisdom, embedded LLM bots into recent versions of Firefox for the vitally-important purpose of… naming tab groups. Now, some users are noticing CPU and power usage spikes caused by a background process called Inference. Ugh. Reminder again for Firefox users to visit your about:config page, search for the browser.ml.chat.enabled key, and set that to false: If yours says true then double-click it until it reads false. Doing that turns off the AI chatbot features in Firefox, but also the stupid new LLM tab-naming feature that's rolling out

Hey Firefox users.

pointless to say this but the democrat leaders should be out there banging the drum that they're going to tear these agencies apart & prosecute every single masked fash who ever did some shit while refusing to identify themselves

Great, Jessie is reinstated, as they should be. Now, about the Palestinian accounts…

Gonna say what I'm thinking, as inarticulate as it may be, but the religious right wants to punish queer people for being queer and appears to be leveraging every institution it can to do so, including economic pressures; only heterosexuals can do business

Post from "The Rundown" July 18 at 5:30 PM · DuckDuckGo has introduced a new feature allowing users to filter out AI-generated images from search results, addressing growing concerns over synthetic content overwhelming authentic visuals online. The filter can be activated through a dropdown in the Images tab, search settings, or by using a dedicated AI-free domain: noai.duckduckgo.com. The system relies on curated blocklists, including uBlockOrigin’s Huge AI Blocklist, to detect and suppress AI-generated imagery. While not perfect, it significantly reduces synthetic content visibility. This move sets DuckDuckGo apart from competitors like Google and Bing by giving users direct control over their exposure to AI-generated material. Source: TechCrunch
