Oh Sarah, I'm so sorry for your loss. ❤️💔

Dudes. As a society we taught young women to walk with keys between their fingers in dark parking lots and to carry pepper spray in their purse.

So yes. I’m asking you to be responsible for the actions of other men. After all, that’s what you’ve asked of women for centuries.

Happy 80th Birthday to the legendary Tim Curry! 🖤

Please read this urgent paper. I am then going to repost a bunch of comments I made last night (sorry).

This is literally something the evil corporations do in the Murderbot books.

Every day feels like a horror movie with a false ending. It’s like “oh that murderer is cooked now” and within minutes the villain is back wreaking havoc again.

The Trump administration’s conduct in the Iran war is accelerating global chaos and deepening America’s dangerous isolation, Robert Kagan argues. theatln.tc/5fjVmUb3

I think we need to celebrate the death of Sora a bit more. This is a technology that, just MONTHS AGO, we were being told was going to literally destroy Hollywood and Disney was going to give them a BILLION DOLLARS and NONE OF THAT EVEN REMOTELY HAPPENED

What Was Actually in the Mueller Report There is an enormous amount of misinformation circulating about former Special Counsel Bob Mueller’s investigation into Russian attempts to influence the 2016 U.S.

7 years ago, we learned about Bob Mueller’s conclusions. Today, there are a lot of posts on social media claiming it was a farce, or worse, a fraud. But those posts are disinformation. Here is the actual information, with links for those who want to do a deep dive.

Google Search is now using AI to replace headlines Let us know if you see more.

Google is experimenting with rolling out automated lying to news headlines.

It can only be an intentional experiment in manipulating the online information ecosystem to further their interests, because they’re not foolish enough to not understand the many downsides

You know how in a library no one’s trying to sell you anything?

That’s how the internet was.
