Breaking Free From Alex Jones A former Infowars employee on radicalization, lies, and getting out

I say this a lot but today’s pod is worth your time. It’s with Josh Owens who worked for Alex Jones/Infowars for 4 years in the 2010s. It’s a conversation about how the conspiracy machine works from inside, about radicalization and, crucially, about the hard, unscalable work of deradicalization

So sad that a normal, human heartbreaking reality needs to be ‘announced’ but that’s the world we live in 😔

So I gather. G’wan Bayern.

Musk’s Grok AI chatbot is still making sexual deepfakes, despite X’s promise to stop it An NBC News review found dozens of AI-generated sexualized images of real women posted to X over the past month.

"Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence software, Grok, continues to generate sexualized images of people without their consent, despite his company’s pledge months ago to halt abusive deepfakes after a public backlash and government investigations." @davidingram.bsky.social keeping tabs:

Personally don't recommend these. As the article notes, these properties are typically achieved through PFAS, which can shed carcinogens in your home (which you then inhale) or come out in the wash (polluting waterways for decades). Will try to do a thread on how to treat stains in the wash.

Unfortunately I live with an Arsenal fan, so just have to imagine what an exciting game is happening on other channel 😑

I know!!

Ouch 😅

Madrid/Bayern?

Boots On The Ground Tom Waits x Massive Attack

Ah lads, how exciting is this collab!!!! 13 hours. Counting the minutes 🤯

🤦‍♀️

God knows we were all due some good news!

Really hope this is as good a sign as it appears 🤞

Coleman you’re a smart guy. You’re just being disingenuous now.

I’m a major advocate for public service broadcasting and for RTE generally. This was a little inexcusable though and does little for that cause

That’s not the kind of lazy I’m referring to Coleman. Research is an important part of journalism. I’m a huge advocate for RTE generally which is why I was so gutted.

Yup

Derek we’ll have to respectfully disagree on this one. No deeper investigation at all - resources an issue for all media agreed, but a bare minimum of research and you would not be offering some of those ‘spokespeople’ a platform.

Really awful, lazy coverage by RTE all week TBH

Lean on Pete is an absolute must-read!

It is infuriating!!!

Guardian says "marathon" peace talks, but without quotes for a mere twenty-hour session.

The talks which led to the Good Friday Agreement took nearly two years, with a longer process of engagement before then.

Our mainstream media failed utterly this week to investigate this side of the ‘protests’. This is an excellent analysis, which also points to the good work done by @thejournal.ie

How Ireland's far-right movement got involved in the fuel protests and tried to hijack them While many are protesting fuel costs, far-right actors and international figures are using the movement to push anti-immigrant narratives.

Excellent explainer by @thejournal.ie - which really captures why so many of us who would be pro peaceful protest were alienated from these protests.

Obviously it's completely unseemly that they're hoping to bribe Hungarians to vote for Orban. But it's also just bizarre - Orban does nothing for America, but he does a lot for Russia. Why is this Trump's priority? (It's okay, you don't need to answer.)

Marathon talks? Compared to what? It took years for Obama to deliver a detailed Iran deal. The Trump admin are packing it in after 20 hours.

Despite the difficulties Muslim Sisters of Éire managed to feed those who needed their help tonight.
Only to be verbally abused by racist arseholes who are so stupid they can't conceive that Irish born and bred people can also be Muslim.
