TTP - Apple and Google Are Steering Users to Nudify Apps

Both Google and Apple host ~50 apps that remove women’s clothing or put them in compromising positions, despite those apps supposedly violating their terms of service. They also suggest search terms to help people find these apps, which have been downloaded >483 M times. Cool cool cool

Extremely normal and fine for a company to put this in a public statement

Men: don't be sociopaths.

Thanks.

Netanyahu claimed last week that Magyar invited him to Hungary.

Today Magyar said that Netanyahu will be arrested if he enters Hungary:

“I made it clear to the Israeli PM — we will not back down... If a state is an ICC member and a person who is wanted enters that territory, they must be detained”

Screenshot of Microsoft flex routing during peak load period setting that shows what you need to select to not allow flex routing.

🚨⏳ Act now! Microsoft just enabled flex routing for Copilot users in the EU - & you're opted in automatically!

This means your data can be processed outside of the EU.

Turn if off: Copilot → Settings → Flex routing → Do not allow flex routing

Even better, cancel Copilot: tuta.com/blog/microso...

There are so many tech changes coming in, it is hard to keep up with the various recommendations and advice for and against it.

Copilot is something I don't want harvesting my data.

Coachella is trying to wipe all of the footage of The Strokes protest set so I’m gonna post it here. The last images on the screen made me cry.

personally I agree that we should indeed reject the hollow pluralism of pretending that we shouldn't judge Klan, Nazi, and sparkling eugenicist subcultures according to what they have historically produced, and would enthusiastically endorse rejecting inclusion of them in public life

Personally I mostly tried shifting to "digital agency" ("digitale Handlungsfähigkeit" in German) because it talks about what it's about rather than pointing at the "evil other"

the roadmap to technological fascism is both terrifying and deeply insufferable

our wannabe overlords are evil, and dangerous, and also total dweebs

At a time when mass surveillance and autonomous weapons companies like Palantir are openly announcing their plans for violent world domination, it is crucial that our attempts at “big tech reform” don’t actually give them more power—ie via government mandated age verification/identity software

Lockheed Martin, Raytheon etc. spent decades trying to cast themselves as engineers, technicians, impartial, & responsible, and to skate beneath politics, and for good reason

Here, Palantir just puts its cards on the table that any reasonable society ought to destroy them

seriously, some speechwriter handed Hegseth this tirade from Pulp Fiction knowing that it would make the guy look like an idiot. That was truly brilliant. I assume that they got fired, but the person really deserves some credit.

Woke up and saw people posting about the Palantir thread and fascism and thought "surely they're exaggerating" and nope, they're not twitter-thread.com/t/2045574398...

According to video recordings, when a ship tries to pass through the strait of Hormuz, Iranian navy says: “The Strait of Hormuz is still closed. We will open it by the order of our leader Imam Khamenei, not by the tweets of some idiot.”

This is bullshit. Fuck Palantir.

A colorful photo of two, adult, shorthaired piebald cats sitting comfortably on a kitchen island bathed in morning light. On the left is Quark who has a large black freckle on her white nose and is sitting upright looking into the camera with a serious expression on her face. Lying beside her on his side like a sea lion is her little brother Loki who has a pink nose.

Good morning and happy #NationalCatLadyDay! (Gender inclusive, y’all.) Unlocking the love and trust of a cat is a superpower reserved for the most hard core folks on the planet.

If you are inclined, and identify as a CatLady, show us your cats! 🐱 Quark & Loki say hello!

Utah has passed some legislation called SEDI. Can’t say I agree with all the Utah schtick but the digital bill of rights - based on the US Constitution - is worth stealing and pushing elsewhere. le.utah.gov/~2026/bills/...

Time to claw back our rights.

I haven't read this, so don't listen to me. But, I think a key problem with liberals is that they've forgotten that politics is a struggle for power.

The Civil Rights movement, for example, wasn't a debate. It was a shift in political power that reshaped the country.

mRNA technology may be THE most underrated and unfairly scrutinized (fuck you COVID antivax crew) medical breakthrough in my lifetime.

Like... The things this is already showing it can do in the last 5-7 years is incredible.

Yeah. Read this thread.

A diagram showing the VDA framework and the Arc of Democracy. At the top, three icons label the essential elements of democracy: Verification (tick), Deliberation (speech bubble), and Accountability (magnifying glass). Arrows descend from each through three horizontal bands representing the arc: Substantial (truth tested, voices included, power constrained), Performative (forms remain but substance is weak, rituals without consequence), and Simulated (appearance maintained but functions inverted: propaganda as verification, polarisation as deliberation, scapegoating as accountability). A vertical arrow on the left marks the arc's direction: improvements, decline, collapse. A column on the right maps counterpublics onto the same three states: functional counterpublics act in a substantial way, hollow counterpublics in a performative way, disordered counterpublics in a simulated way. The bands shift from grey through pink to red as democracy moves toward simulation.

A society that runs on this stack doesn't stop holding elections, or debating, or running investigations. The forms stay, but what goes is their capacity to constrain power. The arc bends toward simulation, carried out in the language of defending democracy.

Amazing! This is the line to get into Peter Buttigieg’s town hall in Tulsa tonight.
