Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, and only thought "hell yeah, brother"

The 8-1 decision on conversion therapy today is absolutely devastating.

After all the harm conversion therapy has done to countless LGBTQ youth and adults, it is baffling to see that the court sees value in that harm.

We are regressing so rapidly in the US.

This is democracy manifest!

Bellingcat, with @frontlinepbs.bsky.social, @washingtonpost.com and @evidentmedia.org, investigate the impact of the Israeli and US strikes on Iran’s nuclear programme, through on-the-ground access and open source analysis. 👇

Police used AI facial recognition to arrest a Tennessee woman for crimes committed in a state she says she’s never visited | CNN A Tennessee grandmother spent more than five months in jail after police used an AI facial recognition tool to link her to crimes committed in North Dakota – a state she says she’d never been to befor...

This 50 yr old woman spent 5 months in jail accused of a crime in a state she's never even been to, because Clearview AI misidentified her as the suspect.

A judge signed off on it, cops went along with it, no process in place to even question the AI.

Iron Sky: the documentary

A tweet from the White House that says "the goal is not just reached the moon but to stay" with a picture of the Moon

Can't believe that "Nazi moon base" may no longer be a conspiracy but a future landmark in my lifetime

“I wish I’d caught even more illegal aliens”

Bovino is so classically villainous, that he thinks even after all the deaths under his watch, he didn't go far enough during his reign as Commander at Large.

"grok says it's real"

This is not AI psychosis but instead AI cuckolding

How Wildlife Traffickers Are Using Coded Language to Sell Protected Animals On Facebook - bellingcat Coded language used in thousands of Facebook ads has helped illegal wildlife dealers evade the platform’s bans for years

Wildlife traffickers selling protected animals on Facebook use coded language to evade moderation. Research by Bellingcat and @mongabay.com has identified nine groups, with more than 70,000 members combined, leading back to six profiles and one broker in Indonesia. www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/03...

The visible prompt from Agent Donahue is "Long format like yesterdays", evidence that he repeatedly used ChatGPT to generate incident reports. ChatGPT's response says that it will "incorporate all the identifiers from the documents you provided," showing that he also uploaded DHS material to ChatGPT

Does it surprise anyone that body cam footage caught an agent using ChatGPT to compile an incident report?

A collaboration w/ @calmatters.org @evidentmedia.org and @bellingcat.com

this quote from our @bellingcat.com latest, among all the others, is one that really stands out for me — violence and the threat of violence as a raw display of power, a spectacle meant to intimidate and present itself as unstoppable, irresistible and unaccountable (it’s not)

Agents of Chaos: Border Patrol’s year of unchecked force A visual investigation shows how five agents moved from city to city, with their tactics becoming more brazen at each stop.

Wow this investigation identifies 5 federal agents who "engaged in a pattern of force and questionable detention, aggressive tactics that courts have said likely violated the constitution, as they moved from Bakersfield to Los Angeles, and then Chicago and Minneapolis" calmatters.org/investigatio...

Absolutely incredible reporting from @sergioolmos.bsky.social, @calmatters.org, @evidentmedia.org, @bellingcat.com and @unraveledpress.com in this video

Five agents are now identified as repeat offenders of some the worst violence that CBP has meted out to communities across the country

Trump's assertion here that the Tomahawk is "generic" and that "Iran has some Tomahawks" is absurd and a lie.

The only party to this conflict that operates the Tomahawk is the United States.
