I don't like acknowledging this asshole at all, but I do believe these sort of rage bait content creators are detrimental to the medium of games, they take up so much of the space and dominate conversations with this behaviour. And they just move on to the next person they're going victimize.

Nah they'll totally be able to censor only the bad porn.

Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE
Truth: No cars rammed ICE

Claim: She boxed ICE in
Truth: ICE boxed her in

Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE
Truth: She did not have a rifle

Claim: ICE returned fire
Truth: Only ICE fired

Claim: She drove herself to the hospital
Truth: Paramedics found her

Let me check aaaaaand yup professional credulous dipshit Benji Edwards is once again on the case.

AMD is just handing over TEN PERCENT OF THE FUCKING COMPANY TO OPEN AI?

Can someone who can actually understand profits, loses and revenue start reporting on this shit? I mean, OTHER than Ed Zitron.

hey bluesky mods: fucking grow up

if you announce that you're breaking up with Nicole Kidman because she wanted too much sex you need to do it at a press conference where you're in a full body cast. just a little slit in the head area where a pair of wild, haunted eyes are staring out

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

Interesting piece to write as the president sends troops to occupy major blue cities

The Fentagon

Their only move is waiting for Republicans to screw up badly enough to win the next election by default, except now we're in a situation where, even if they do win the midterms, it won't stop what's happening. You need a whole different set of guys for this moment

"Goodstein had reportedly been receiving death threats in the past few weeks....

'She's had multiple death threats over the years,'

"Just last month, she was involved in a controversial case in determining if voter's personal information in South Carolina could be handed over to the government. "

She's treating a calculator with more humanity than she does half her userbase.

Really, truly amazing that OpenAI wants us to believe that they are worth a trillion dollars but also they are so desperate for revenue that they created an infinite SlopTok app that opens them up to a billion lawsuits just so that they can maybe someday make it even worse by filling it with ads.

It might ring a little more true if you personally went down to the street and got the state police to stop helping ICE.

The protests are on one block. Nothing is burning down. His justification for sending in troops is all based on lies.

Imagine if Obama had said this in front of military personnel about Republicans.

look ai is completely destroying the world with massive pollution and is using up water at a concerning rate but at least you get to use technology that lies to you and is the primary propaganda mechanism by fascists

Why TikTok is so influential — and why that’s particularly worrisome now Many used to worry about China’s power over the app — but American control is troubling, too.

Think about an algorithm, replace the word with a guy named Bob. If Bob shouldn’t be fixing prices across industries, an algorithm shouldn’t either. If Bob shouldn’t have access to everyone’s Social Security numbers, neither should an algorithm. Algorithms are made by people for people’s interests.

wizard frog is praxis

Harrigan defends Trump's deployment of troops to cities: "I don't think it's wrong for members of the administration to characterize places like Chicago & Portland as war zones when they're putting up stats up about 50 murders a weekend." (There have been 58 murders in Portland all year as of Oct 1)

Remember how folks were saying we'd pay a subscription to keep this place ad free? Trust is much easier to break than to build, it's a fragile, ephemeral thing that requires good faith to maintain, and Bluesky has breached that trust so thoroughly it'll be hard to ever get back.

this will only continue to escalate, they want a civil war

I’m horrified by Trump’s order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. We’re only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If you’re in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.

Free Greta Thunberg and the rest of the illegally detained flotilla activists.

Jake's post from Twitter is really good. You should read it.
