So there were some AI-generated videos that purported to show Black women ranting about SNAP benefits, and... Fox News is reporting on this like these are real people. They're not! They're AI!

This is truly insane. Total unreality. www.foxnews.com/media/snap-b...

Giving Hell House: Lineage a try on Shudder.

I'm a big Hell-House-head; and I'm a little sad about the lack of the found footage format!

Pregnant women describe miscarrying and bleeding out while in ICE custody, advocates say The ACLU and other groups are pressing for ICE to identify and release all pregnant women in custody and to stop detaining anyone known to be pregnant, postpartum or nursing.

Pregnant women detained by ICE report horrifying treatment: shackling, solitary confinement, no prenatal vitamins, inadequate food. ICE's own directives and regulations require the agency to avoid detention of pregnant people in the first place. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

the president has destroyed the east wing of the white house without so much as a word of input from anyone else to build a royal ballroom paid for with bribes

Its not that he’s disgusted at the symbol or even its meaning but rather he’s disgusted at the insinuation that he should be associated with having this terrible thing that he chose to get tattooed on this chest that he apparently didn’t look too deeply into.

This reeks of β€œI’m sorry I got caught.”

I actually don’t find it particularly difficult to draw my personal line at β€œgot a Nazi tattoo and never had it removed” when it comes to who to support politically. Like that seems like a pretty easy call

Putting a Democrat with a Nazi tattoo in the Senate normalizes Naziism in our federal politics for a long ass time.

All these recent stories about secret Nazi group chats? Anytime that happens going forward will be met with "But Platner."

It's not a purity test. Think through the consequences.

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

More grace for a grown man getting a Nazi tattoo than Black kids in public spaces. It’s obscene.

Anyway if you have a Nazi tattoo it’s true you’re not a secret Nazi. You’re an open Nazi. You literally have a sign that you carry around in your body every day that says β€œI’m a Nazi.”

I have read a number of opinions today that say something like "look every marine gets drunk on shore leave and gets a nazi tattoo" and I just think that excuse isn't really accomplishing what anyone thinks it is

The average American millennial man has been a neocon, a pacifist, a liberal, a libertarian, a communist, a nazi, and I believe now most of us are back around to liberal again. This isn't a defense of platner it's just weird how normal this shit is for guys that age.

i actually don’t think the β€œaverage” american millennial man had a nazi phase. it’s not some boys will be boys shit. this makes me side eye you and your friend group, sounds like a personal problem

The crazy thing is that Platner could have absolutely survived the tattoo thing had he gotten it removed/covered up whenever it is that he first learned what it meant, showing him growing and learning and yadda yadda, etc. But instead he just hoped it'd never come up? Come on, dude.

Also girls get pregnant and calling them women because they're pregnant or capable of becoming pregnant is creepy AF. A 12 year old is not a woman, especially by the snappy definition TERFs insist on using.

Oh boy, the lead actor is learning about the drowned towns via an old-newspaper montage in the local library.

So dry and boring.
