Screenshot of somebody who just followed me who is following 115k people.

what is the point of following 100,000+ people? I follow a few hundred and thats already too many. Not to get all philosophical but to me the point of following is "i I want to see this person's posts." With 100k, you are just making your own bad newsfeed.

Really? Wow. Completely autonomous, huh?

Mind doing some digging and explaining how that's possible?

Or is this just another chatbot using generative AI to give probabilistic responses based on an algorithm and not something capable of acting on its own?

Y'all are clown shoes.

So in the wake of the Epstein revelations, @wired.com posts an article about how it’s actually gay men running the tech industry on private sex islands. Except unlike the Epstein files, the writer couldn’t provide real evidence.

Way to look like you’re running interference for a pedo ring.

Reading reports that last week's dreadful shooting in Canada had been carried out by a transgender teenager, my heart sank, as I knew there were some in the media who would weaponise this tragedy against trans people in general. As I read Brenda Power's first column for your paper today, I scanned for even the smallest expression of sympathy for the families bereaved by such a senseless act, but none was forthcoming. Instead, it seems, Ms Power used the shooting as a pretext to shoehorn in as much anti-trans sentiment as her word-count would allow. Is this a taste of things to come?

Ten glorious years of a guy who has mostly been the president and always been the main character of American political life doing posts like this and everyone trying to figure out what cable news segment he saw, misunderstood in the way a dog might misunderstand a crossword, and made into policy.

We are in the rare and unique position where indie animation can be unique creative visions unfettered by corporate interference or IP shit

Why would you, as the fan, demand that the vision of the creator, who you claim to love, bend to your demands

John Miller’s building materials company is also downtown. He and others formed a group called One Circle Community Coalition last July with concerns about plans to bring datacenters to the area. The group of about 150 locals includes “liberal Democrats and staunch conservatives”, he said. The coalition held a public meeting 6 January on ICE’s plans, and sent a four-page letter to the homeland security department on 29 January.

Toronto Catholic district school board ad on Grindr

Why do I use Grindr? Mostly for comedy. For example, I received an ad for the Toronto Catholic District schoolboard's kindergarten registration in between messages from guys asking me "how big is it?"

Degenerative AI doesn’t do anything competently, isn’t in real demand, and requires an expensive network of support that was never needed by anything it’s replacing, but at least its forced adoption has made the things we actually want impossible to get!

Cis people, read this. It’s easy to go ‘oh how sad that a tiny minority is being treated this way’. But the 2025 GP Patient Survey results suggest this is approximately 500,000 people being relentlessly and deliberately crushed by the Labour Party. Half a million people whose lives don’t matter.

A Fatal ICE Shooting Occurred in Texas Months Before Renee Good’s Killing

This case is insane:

ICE shot and killed a citizen last March then *hid it for a year.*

The young man they killed had no criminal history.

All we know about shooting is from internal ICE docs.

We don't know officers' names.

We don't have footage.

This rant is something I deeply connect with as someone who genuinely enjoy messing around with the computer.

Absolutely f*** them and may everything they do crash and burn with them being trapped inside because the invisible door-handles won't show.

An ICE agent shot and killed Ruben Ray Martinez, a US citizen and San Antonio resident, in March 2025. Then ICE and the Texas Department of Public Safety covered it up. He was 23 years old. I am calling for a full investigation into this shooting, including why there was an 8-month cover up.

Her posts, flagged by an automated review system, alarmed employees at OpenAI. Internally, about a dozen staffers debated whether to take action on Van Rootselaar’s posts. Some employees interpreted Van Rootselaar’s writings as an indication of potential real-world violence, and urged leaders to alert Canadian law enforcement about her behavior, the people familiar with the matter said.

Oh my god.

I wonder if they didn't turn her in because chatgpt was helping her plan a shooting and they didn't want the scrutiny.
