The weirdest aspect of fascism is how frequently they rush to tell their whole plan, like some Lex Luthor or CHUD Zuckerberg. Big tech want to take away democratic rights to replace it with the all seeing eye of Palintir, which literally is the deceptive eye of manipulation, power, and greed.

Is there any way possible to make media literacy not suck?

Every single intervention in the field is like trying to hide the broccoli in the chicken nugget.

What if we tried something completely different as a medium for delivery, outside the classroom, and with the punk rock culture that made me?

EVERY COMPANY IS AN AI COMPANY NOW.

Excerpted Prego conversation:

Kid 1: Why is this sauce so gross?

Kid 2: I just want butter and cheese, no sauce, Mom!

Mom: You're why I can't have nice things. Eat it!

Kid 3: Can we have doordash?

Mom: You ungrateful bastards. I'm so exhausted. eat or starve

While leading a prayer service at the Pentagon, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth quoted almost word-for-word a violent prayer used in Quentin Tarantino's cult classic ‘Pulp Fiction.’ TikTok video by NowThis Impact

It’s almost comforting to think that this is a deepfake because the reality means something far more awful than I can write in skeet.

If there is a God, and I hope there is, maybe he could send the Holy Spirit sooner than later to handle this mess?

100/100 for the Gwar joke alone.

My class today analyzed this AI generated image shared by Trump. None of us really knew what the top middle figure was. Holy Ghost? Archangel Gabriel?

A new riff on 2016’s deplorables meme?

Staunch Trump Supporters Are Now Asking if He’s the Antichrist The Iran war and a series of social media posts, including one depicting Trump as Jesus Christ, have some conservative commentators and fans suspecting the president may be the antichrist.

Nick Fuentes is moving the culture again. He’s been calling Trump the Antichrist for a while now. This charge is also related to the dismissal of catholic mass by Hegeseth, a Christian solider in holy war. The Pope does not support US war on Iran.

Catholics push back with this antichrist meme.

Meta proposing $1 billion executive incentives at this particular moment is a good encapsulation of how capitalism works in 2026 TikTok video by Sad Francisco

#CHUDZuckerberg must resign.

We’ve had enough of his failed leadership. The true costs of media manipulation on platforms arepaid by society.

He’s paying off the very people who should be holding him accountable! This is a bribe, not a bonus.

For a term like “AI Slop” to move from the wires to the weeds, it has to resonate across the social as “common sense,” and certainly not a political position.

After a decade of AI hype, what has it gotten us? The democratization of slop?
Spam society?

“Everyone’s so creative” is a battle sigh.

“AI slop” might be the most important meme of this techno-authoritarian era because it functions like the term second hand smoke did when activists and medical professionals wanted to ban public smoking.

No one wants slop. It’s synonymous with pigs, lack of taste, the unwashed masses…

My best friend’s daughter, who is a hair shy of a teenager, told me her favorite thing to search for on YouTube was “AI Slop Reactions,” so naturally, I tried it.

Within 5 recommended videos, I was viewing a Gen AI colonoscopy. I stopped after that because I am not going to gaslight myself.

Slop is the new name for unwanted AI-generated content I saw this tweet yesterday from @deepfates, and I am very on board with this: Watching in real time as “slop” becomes a term of art. the way that “spam” …

Memes can be a good communication strategy, but only when they resonate with reality.

This weekend I met the person who amplified the term “AI Slop.” I congratulated them on killing Sora, OpenAI’s attempt to replace tik tok with tik slop.

When I visited the White House in 2023, I tried my best to convince the WH digital team to get off X, but they wouldn’t. I’m sure I sounded looney tunez then.

There must be a mass exodus of politicians for this to really matter.

X is a psyop.

Why’d It Take So Dam Long to Get a Beaver Emoji? Some eager beavers are finally making it happen.

Did you ever wonder why certain emojis exist but not others?

In 2019, I proposed the “beaver” to the Emoji Standards Council.

Today I’ll be talking about this on The Ciriousty Desk on @wgbh.org today. Show starts at 1pm, but I’ll be on at 130.

I’m having a blast learning about journalism.
