how is this literally happening in real life

in general, & across the world, the political gender divide really opens up around 2016

wonder if something happened then?

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

thank you, wife

Regular-stuf oreos are so puritanical

The average person doesn’t give a fuck if AI has some niche use where it actually excels if used properly. In fact, that is what a tool is *supposed* to do and none of us will have a problem if it is used like that. What we see is AI fucking up real life in a massive way.

A new TikTok AI toggle is causing panic among creators TikTok creators say a new AI remix setting is enabled on videos by default, forcing users to manually review and change permissions.

Larry Ellison’s TikTok forcing “AI Remixing” onto their entire user base without their knowledge or consent is a really great microcosm of what US tech overlordship looks like — and why the backlash against this technology is only growing.

If you kill your wife, you don’t get to be called a “husband” any more.

You’re her killer.

Oregon man accused of violations at Yellowstone argues park rules are unconstitutional A view of the autumn scenery at the Yellowstone National Park on Sept. 30, 2025, in Wyoming. (Photo by IRYU/VCG via Getty Images) VCG via Getty Images Joel Odom The Oregonian/OregonLive

Pulliam's legal team, which includes the libertarian Pacific Legal Foundation, this week filed a motion to dismiss the charges in U.S. District Court in Wyoming. The motion argues that the park rules Pulliam is accused of breaking are invalid because their implementation did not follow procedures set forth in the U.S Constitution and they were implemented under the wrong statute. "The way that we see this case is that the government is the one acting unlawfully here," said Pacific Legal Foundation attorney Michael Poon. "It's the one acting unconstitutionally, and all we're doing is pointing that out.

During a trip to Yellowstone in December, Tate Pulliam was stopped and cited by a park ranger for three alleged violations: fishing in a river that was closed for the winter, fishing without a proper permit and driving his truck on a road reserved only for "over-snow" vehicles such as snowmobiles.

Pulliam's motion argues that Yellowstone's superintendent could not lawfully impose the fishing restrictions or permit requirements because he was hired as an employee instead of being appointed as an officer under the Appointments Clause of the Constitution. The motion also says the regulations are unlawful because they were implemented under the Secretary of the Interior rather than through Congress. The Pacific Legal Foundation's stance is that the Constitution clearly lays out that Congress makes the laws and cannot hand over that power.

These dinguses.

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

Internet in Australia is rapidly becoming unusable without a VPN due to age verification. You need to verify your age to use some weather and calculator apps now. Scam apps and phishing sites are starting to realise they can just ask for your ID straight up and people will give it up. Insane shit.

Palantir put out the most cartoonishly evil statement possible. They’re so arrogant and self-confident they don’t seem to believe their fascistic plans can be opposed.

We must get rid of Palantir altogether.

the thing about our current moment is that yes, the anti-AI and anti-big tech people are getting very reactive nowadays - but have you seen what they’re *reacting* to?

When I teach high school students about searching online, I have a whole section on avoiding news aggregators, esp AI ones. It's a massive problem.

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

Families left reeling after hospitals in blue states drop transgender care for youth Massachusetts passed laws and joined lawsuits to protect access to gender-affirming care for minors. But faced with the Trump administration's threats, some hospitals voluntarily stopped care.

Right now where you live healthcare for trans kids is either being made literally illegal by your state or made functionally illegal by the unlawful threats of the federal government and a care infrastructure glad to sacrifice trans kids on the altar of appeasement.

Your regular reminder that Palantir started out by testing their software on escort ads to rat sex workers out to the cops. But everybody was fine with it because it fed their disgusting wanking fantasies of screaming 13-year-olds abducted from happy homes to be trucked around and raped 100x a day.
