Elon Musk’s Latest AI Frontier: “Spicy” Deepfakes Of Stars Like Scarlett Johansson & Taylor Swift The "Spicy" mode on Elon Musk's Grok Imagine AI allows users to create lurid deepfake videos of Scarlett Johansson and Taylor Swift in seconds.

Would be great if this were reported like the gross violation it is rather than as a playful endeavor by a mercurial billionaire.

I am so embarrassed for humanity.

We had this disease eradicated. The process of keeping it that way was SO SIMPLE.

And because of a bunch of idiots, and bunch of grifters making public health into an ideological football, here we are.

Just a faceplant. A completely unforced error.

The streak we are on where Trump acts guilty over Epstein is going to destroy Cal Ripken’s number

If you live in/represent a Blue State, want to gerrymander the FUCK out of your state, support and are willing to fight for a national anti-gerrymandering law you are principled, consistent and doing exactly the right thing.

JD Vance’s team had water level of Ohio river raised for family’s boating trip Exclusive: Incident raises questions of exploitation of public services, but Secret Service says it was requested for ‘safe navigation’

Another super-casual abuse of power from JD Vance.

Sounds like a blast! And this old-school fan is really excited to see Carol and Ollie have some time together without Hal around. They've got a lot of shared history but precious little interaction!

The automatically generated alt text for GIFs is always bad but I’m dying laughing over this Rosemary’s Baby GIF.

Apparently Rosemary is housing an invisible cupcake 😂

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?

these ladies just released the song of the summer

there is literally one superior way to deal with male hair loss. embrace it. you were too strong and too smart for hair. the heat in your skull killed all the follicles. god said your cranium is too beautiful to obscure.

Tesla withheld data, lied, and misdirected police and plaintiffs to avoid blame in Autopilot crash Tesla was caught withholding data, lying about it, and misdirecting authorities in the wrongful death case involving Autopilot that it...

The most damning part: The car was programmed to send all the information to Tesla then delete the local copies. Which speaks to a clear conspiracy to hide the fact that "driver assistance" features contributed to an accident #teslatakedown electrek.co/2025/08/04/t...

Fantastic book!

E. coli outbreak in Florida linked to raw milk The E. coli outbreak comes as Trump officials face pressure to loosen regulations on raw milk

21 sick, including 6 kids, from raw milk in Florida. Thanks Kennedy.

An excellent article that starts with Sydney Sweeney, and expands into what's happening to you and me.

still thinking about the Montana knife maker who said you don't have to worry about tariffs if you buy american. and then three months later, he realized he imports swedish steel and german equipment. and even MiUSA equipment costs $100k more now because of tariffs

Jane Fonda with short white hair, black leather knee high boots, and a red ensemble with red gloves. Shes in a horse stance and ready to fuck you up

Jane Fonda, seen here about to explain her life story and motivating philosophy before having a fight to the death with Solid Snake

These are two guitars made by Johnson. One looks like Gumby waving, and the other one looks like Pokey, his horse friend. I would pay good money to see a band play these in concert.

Johnson Gumby guitar & Pokey bass

The rage-inducing Dem fundraising emails that have become an internet punchline don’t even raise much money for campaigns. It’s a con by *one consulting firm*

I'd love to see the book of 60s oddballs you suggest, too!

I wonder if they'd be open to an overall DC FINEST: ADVENTURE! line that could group Sea Devils, Cave Carson, Rip Hunter, and more. Challengers would fit well here, too, but I'd expect them to get a solo book.

David Byrne came to my band’s show at a gay bar in Bed-Stuy and sang This Must Be The Place with us and I still haven’t processed it

[quoting a tweet by fractalcounty that reads, “today I learned that there are actual people irl who get genuinely upset if they catch you using chatgpt. like they view it as a serious moral failing in certain circles”]

If you're using AI to write essays, eulogies, a text to your wife, I do think less of you as a person. Ceding your mental and creative abilities to a machine is an embarrassing thing and people should be ashamed to admit doing it in public.

Epstein's sweetheart deal? Cut by a Republican administration.

The guy who cut it? Trump put him in his first Cabinet.

Epstein's mysterious death? During Trump's first term.

Trump promised to release the files. Now he's not.

This is a Republican scandal. What is Trump hiding?

The family of Virginia Giuffre responds to the Maxwell prison move: "President Trump has sent a clear message today: Pedophiles deserve preferential treatment and their victims do not matter."

Thanks for giving me reason to reexamine this song. I hadn't really heard it since high school, and I'd dismissed it; the themes just didn't resonate then.

Brigadumpling!

...you ever think about how the response to weekly school shootings in America was a boom market in clear backpack sales and ex-cops selling lectures and nothing else
