Imagine using words like "crash," "stuck," "collapse," and "existential threat" when talking about TEEN BIRTHS.

This and the AllBirds things has gotta be a sign we’re nearing the top.

The Deepfake Nudes Crisis in Schools Is Much Worse Than You Thought An analysis by WIRED and Indicator found nearly 90 schools and 600 students around the world impacted by AI-generated deepfake nude images—and the problem shows no signs of going away.

NEW: Teenage boys are pulling classmates' photos off Insta and running them through cheap nudify apps and the fallout has now hit nearly 90 schools across 28 countries with 600+ known victims since 2023, per a WIRED/Indicator analysis.

UNICEF estimates 1.2M children were targeted last year alone.

During the dot-com bubble, a zombie fish oil company called Zapata, and founded by George H.W. Bush of all people, rebranded itself Zap.com and its stock popped.

It’s pretty rad when your 12 year old breaks your legs. Then when he’s 18 and posterizes you.

If you think the Pope is wrong on theology, good news! There’s a whole laundry list of denominations you can choose. You could even sort them by how wrong you think he is! It’s kind of their whole thing.

It’s was inevitable that the Very Online Reply Guy Administration would “well actually” The Pope about Saint Augustine

5% chance they reunite
10% they reunite but with someone else on vocals for Ian tribute (like Robert Smith, Brandon Flowers)
40% chance they do something like split it where PH plays a JD song, other three play a NO song
45% combo of Barney not showing, variations of the above (just Hooky shows &c)

If the others don't show I'm sure that's what will happen.

Thread. The tl,dr:

IF YOU SHOP AT TARGET, THEY MAY HAVE YOU ARRESTED.

Don't shop at Target.

I've accompanied famous people in VIP spaces, and there's this thing they all do where they put on an act of congenial familiarity with each other, even when they've never met and have no idea who they're talking to. You have to see it first-hand to understand it. I totally believe him.

Based on vibes with everyone I've talked to, the difference between 2020 and 2026 seems to be, "Eh, it worked for Illinois 🤷‍♂️"

you shouldn’t learn about bands from shady TikTok manipulation, you should learn about bands by hanging out with a girl you like but are also extremely afraid of

Graham Platner claims he's changed. Why is he still using the r-word? The left have their own ableism problems to grapple with, not just Republicans.

Using the r-word is just bad. Democrats should have higher standards for themselves than Trump when it comes to using a slur that MANY disabled people find offensive. Looking at you, Graham Platner. New from me at @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Yep. It’s all up to Barney.

Holding out hope that maybe they can all be convinced to put the animosity aside and play LWTUA with someone like Robert Smith on vocals. For Ian.

Remember that this guy converted in 2019. There are second-graders who have been Catholic longer than he has.

The image in the post, likely created with artificial intelligence, shows the president as a Jesus-like figure apparently healing a man. Credit...via Truth Social

It's the "likely created with artificial intelligence" part that kills me. Sure there's a possibility that the President commissioned an artist who worked around the clock over the weekend with oil paints and got the final canvas to his people for them to photograph it just in time for his poast.

elizabethrosehalligan 11h So I'm not trying to knock the gesture here, I get the sentiment. I feel for the astronaut who lost his wife as it was devastating to lose my father-in-law, who I loved very much, to glioblastoma suddenly in 2023. But 4 astronauts deciding to name a spot on THE FUCKING MOON after ONE GUY'S WIFE while the other 8 BILLION of us down here have no input on NAMING SHIT ON THE FUCKING MOON still feels like colonizer behavior to me. I don't care if one of them was a black dude.

Bringing you the Threads discourse so you don’t have to go to a Zuck site unless you want. Bless 🫶🏻

Looks like they finally found a job that can be replaced.

one of many reasons i will never accept abandoning my trans siblings or the broader queer community for the purposes of "a bigger tent"

Mike did you know he converted in 2019?! Altar boys have been Catholic longer than he has.

JD Vance should swing by the Vatican on the way home and get wrecked by the Pope to make it a hat trick of historical ownage.

Take out the trash. 🚮

Here's the post. Delightfully ironic that the author is an AI ethicist.

JD is warming himself up to be the anti-war candidate in 2028 and all of the dumbest people you know are going to go along for the ride.

Alexander Martin Mussgnug’s paper showing his name in the citations expanded to “Mussgnug, Anna Marie”

An LLM hallucinated a paper author’s own NAME in the citations when the publisher, Cambridge University Press, apparently used it to expand initials to full names in the copyediting process.

I can’t seem to link to the author’s LinkedIn post, but here’s the paper www.cambridge.org/core/journal...
