Ai remix feature in privacy settings on TikTok turned on

I am so upset right now, TikTok quietly added a feature which turns on an AI feature on all the TikTok’s you have already posted to allow Ai to remix and make content of your TikTok’s and I didn’t know, you must go to privacy settings on your TikToks to turn it off yourself, want to warn others 💔

They’ve been doing amazing things with Honeycrisp varietals. What I want to see is something with the bakeable texture of a Granny Smith, but the flavor of a Honeycrisp.

That’s a thousand dollar idea right there.

oof, I'm glad you have him looking out for you!

WIN: Trump & RFK Jr. tried to bully providers offering gender-affirming care, but we sued — and won. A federal judge permanently blocked their threats.

Trans youth have the right to healthcare and their full humanity. Full stop.

short, beautiful story, with teeth

Good thread.
Also don't plant this. Our home's prior owner put one of these in the backyard, under where many wires come together. We have removed it twice. It comes back from shoots attached to remaining roots, I swear.

Oh no. I'm so sorry.

If it's a total ban they're after and kids can't even take phones to school then I'd say that was completely irresponsible.

When I was a kid we had payphones - which we used to call our parents in an emergency. No such network exists any more and nobody seems to acknowledge it.

Here are some cats!

I'm making one last push to let people know about this online talk -- sponsored by the British Library in conjunction with their current exhibition on fairy tales. The live stream starts at 7:30 tonight, but if you buy a ticket *before* the event you can watch it any time over the next 7 days.

Way too many funnel cakes

Everything everybody else said. Go get your massages!

They are explicitly and specifically targeting people with long covid because, to put it bluntly, there's fuck all else available to us. MAHA decimated long covid research funding and now the grifters are swooping in....

Everyone needs to read Matthew's latest post, because this is what's in store for all of us at some point--being harmed by HCWs whose inadequate training & supervision are policy choices--unless we mobilize to reverse MAHA's cuts to Medicaid & Medicare

Stage managers. What you’re looking for is stage managers

Now that the Supreme Court has ordered the Trump administration to refund companies what they paid in tariffs, yet there are still tariffs in place, what's the plan? Consumers continue to fork money over to corporations who will later get another refund?

It will be extremely interesting to see what institutions like Fenway Health and NYU Langone do now. The ostensible reason for their ending of youth gender care is now gone - will they resume care for all the trans kids they abandoned?

Like the vocab sheets at the 80s Dune

Today I turn 89. I’ve seen this country at its best and its worst, and I know how much community matters. For my birthday, I’m asking you to stand with PFLAG and support the work that’s helped so many in the LGBTQ+ community, including me. give.pflag.org/page/95493/d...

This is how you lose the Info War.

According to the data
we are currently seeing
the lowest level
of daily COVID infections
that we have seen in years:
217,000 new daily infections,
and though I know
this is good news,
I can’t help but feel that
217,00 new daily infections
is still very bad news.

RDJ and Law were spectacular, but that movie did Irene Adler SO dirty. I still haven't rewatched it.

Also all of us who's lives ground to a halt due to #longcovid

We are ignored or gaslight as our lives never recovered and just got smaller and smaller.

if Ds control congress, they could pass a bill to send people checks, funded by taxing billionaires. let trump veto it if he wants.

include a provision in the bill that trump's name can't be on the checks.

Feels kinda silly to say that rich people from the center to left of things politically can’t build a successful media environment when the onion is doing it basically using donations from semi-employed forum goblins

I talked to somebody at my condo insurance company today, and they said that they've had a lot of problems with both incoming and outgoing mail for about a month now. I guess DeJoy finally reached his goal.

I didn't have this on my Will It Happen Today? bingo card, but you know what, I'll take it.
