It's a counterattack for AI companies that persistently scrape and rescrape your web site, even when you tell them not to

when a scraper grabs it, it becomes a 10-gig HTML page and 💣 goes the scraper

Oh look, ICE is copying literal Nazi recruiting propaganda again. The poster on the right is for the Volkssturm, the Nazi militia of older men and boys established during the final months of World War II.

I'm seeing less posts about the Visa and Mastercard situation and I want to make it plain as day. You need to keep calling and bothering them, and losing them money.

Because if we lose this, they are going to cut more and more from what's available until you can only buy what they approve of.

So you’re telling me the Wizard of Oz presented itself as a towering force of overwhelming technology, only to be unmasked as just some guy, off-screen?

*Why is so much censorship bullshit happening all at once?"

Because this is The-Push. They've been tightening the screws for years now to the point the internet is now passively more censored than daytime tv from 30 years ago, and now they're trying to do one last push to snuff out free speech

Elizabeth Warren on Why Billionaires Are Doing All They Can to Stop Zohran Mamdani Elizabeth Warren explains why billionaires are boosting Eric Adams and Andrew Cuomo to keep Zohran Mamdani from becoming New York City's mayor.

At @rollingstone.com, @elizabeth-warren.bsky.social lays out the stakes of our election.

"It turns out there are some billionaires and Wall Street CEOs who can’t stand the idea of a mayor who wants them to pay their fair share to create a city that everyone can afford."

Liz Warren to her absolute credit shows up on CNBC and is willing to call everyone a stupid piece of shit in a way that even Bernie would refrain from

My profound thanks to Rev. Stephen A. Green and the Greater Allen AME for the honor of addressing their beautiful congregation in Jamaica, Queens this morning.

the nice thing about the transfer process is that I always have the original drawing saved. this time, I'm going to try pasting the drawing to my painting surface, then painting over that. sorta like a collage

a partially done acrylic painting of aan staring off to the right with a dark background. the details are rough and unfinished.

I forgot to add the progress pics for this study, but that's because I hated how it turned out after I glazed it. I've decided to start over and experiment with a different approach.

cactuscloudsart Today I discovered a woman called "Angie the ICE Chaser" on TikTok and she literally just follows ICE vehicles in her car. They become increasingly erratic in their attempts to lose her (breaking sooo many laws on camera) and they never do. She is single handedly striking terror into ICE agents across LA. She also follows them through neighborhoods honking her horn and shouting "THEY ARE ICE!" out her window. There is a GFM for gas money and the legal fees she is fully expecting to come around.

“AI is coming to take our jobs” no it isn’t. It’s a CEO named Gary taking some shitty advice from a VC who has never had a real job in their life, trying to maximise their quarterly earnings by firing as many people as they can get away with to make number go up, and it isn’t sustainable

Just a heads up, I've seen this ramp up recently here on Bluesky and now have got it a few times now myself.

This is a phishing attempt into most likely some kind of trojan you download, no you not being impersonated, please do not fall for it and report any account affected!

Stay safe my friends!

Gaza Starvation Photos Tell a Thousand Lies Hamas propaganda exploits seriously ill children, and Western media go along.

The editors who published this should go straight to The Hague. I mean literally, according to the terms of international law such as it exists.

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

The economy is so good that I'm firing the BLS Commissioner for reporting numbers so grim I refuse to believe them, and also demanding the Fed cut rates typically seen during a recession.

howd they make the cloth move good

Congratulations, and have fun calling the executive who matters most in this Steam / itchio censorship situation

I'm not joking, i legit want someone to study this bc it feels like ppl are treating the grind of calls, meant to gay l break enthusiasm as akin to a roguelike and pve event like getting the mechs in Helldivers

Visa and Mastercard released their public statements on censorship!

Visa and Mastercard are pretending they don't make any judgments on legal purchases, but Collective Shout CLEARLY told us they successfully pressured payment processors.

KEEP CALLING! IT'S WORKING!

So when you guys do you daily calls today you should ask mastercard what illegal adult content they found on these content creation platforms. Tell them to make names. When they give you the runaround say "but what have you found that's illegal".

They won't because there was never an investigation

Can I just say how fucking ridiculous it is that queer and nsfw art is more heavily regulated than the fucking plagiarism machine destroying our planet that is genAI

“The president cut your health care so he could build himself a golden ballroom” is a pretty easy message to sell

"ChatGPT is great for brainstorming!"

Actually we have a tool for that already! It's called thinking. We use our brain. It's called brainstorming! Clue is in the name.

"I can't brainstorm without ai" "I can't draw without ai" "I can't write without ai" "Ai summarized it for me cause it's too hard of a read"
So what exactly /can/ you do? Because you sound fucking useless to me

This doesn’t mean to stop calling by the way. The execs in those meetings are shifting the levers back ever so slightly so they can see where it is we’ll stop calling.

Don’t stop calling.
