The .gov site is now just redirecting to Grok because it's "high volume" and asking users to sign up for a pro account.

Our government is being run by incompetent pedophiles.

How Google played a key role in recovering the video from Nancy Guthrie’s cameras | CNN Business A major breakthrough in the Nancy Guthrie case largely came down to Google’s technical expertise, a person familiar with the investigation told CNN.

A heartwarming tale of how even if you aren't subscribed to Google Nest their cameras still upload and save "about three hours" of video which can be recovered in the form of "residual data" from "backend servers," surprising even the FBI who claims to have previously believed it was impossible

Google Handed ICE Student Journalist’s Bank and Credit Card Numbers Amandla Thomas-Johnson didn't know how much information ICE requested in a subpoena now. Google never gave him a chance to fight it.

Oh BITCH. Google bent all the way over.

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE:

"I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

The absolute marathon of this game's production is so inspiring. It's proof that if we persevere we can have good things.

Yes, this is also a post about social justice.

Substack Still Has A Nazi Problem (And Doesn't Care) For several years Substack has been accused of coddling white supremacy and fascist ideology for cash. And despite several major scandals and a mass defection of ethical authors, there's little seriou...

what if we, you know, just tried to avoid using websites that coddle white supremacists for a buck

Hydrogen and oxygen are incredibly flammable, but I am not a fan of shooting those specific elements into space voluntarily since we kind of need them to be here on earth to live.

This should be disqualifying for life as an intellectual in the humanities. Thinking that humans are no better than inference engines demonstrates a lack of understanding in humanity as much as it does a lack in understanding of modern GAI technology.

fellow engineers,

you really need to start asking yourself some questions when building something:

1. how will the police use what i'm making?
2. what kinds of people are the police going to use it against?
3. how many people will be harmed in silence before we find out?

I wish he wasn't a huge Trump supporter. He's getting paid millions to be there, meanwhile Flavor Flav is actually financing a number of the women's teams for nothing.

An Image from the March for Billionaires in San Francisco. they're holding signs that say things like, 'Billionaires Build Prosperity, Keep them in California," "Property Rights are Human Rights." "60k income? You're the Global 1%," Larry & Sergey Who's Next?" One of them is wearing a shirt that says "I'm in a polycule with Aella" with a picture of a centaur on it.

Management wants to you point out the difference in these two photos.

I cannot sufficiently underline how despicable it is that the IOC has required Haitian Olympic athletes to remove an image representing the leader of the Haitian Revolution (against SLAVERY) from their uniforms.

This is a midwestern thing. I think it's an extension of the seven layer salad being nearly indistinguishable from tacos in the addled brains of boomers raised on 1960s haute cuisine.
