NEW: ChatGPT and other chatbots are feeding users' fixations on real people, reinforcing users' delusional ideas and obsessions about others as they descend into unwanted harassment, stalking, and/or domestic abuse — traumatizing victims and profoundly altering lives. futurism.com/artificial-i...

Great piece from @dsquareddigest.bsky.social, which touches on one of the big theories for why English-speaking countries do especially badly at housebuilding: Adversarial and litigious common law systems (Anglo) vs judge-led civil law systems elsewhere. samf.substack.com/p/build-the-...

(to the tune of It's Raining Men) I'm gaining weight

#photography #Grenoble #France

why is the "add to my calendar" link in Google agendas a tiny blue link text in the bottom left of the page. I have been looking for it for so god damn long! Fuck!

Grenoble mentioned... Rahhh...

I will disagree with most of the quote-dunkers. If you've ever been in tech interviews, you'll know that they really care about how you spend your time outside of work. The agent-addiction is a sibling of employers demanding open source work and GitHub graphs, not MMORPGs or tangible addictions

Frank Sinatra releasing My Way in '69 and then consistently releasing full LPs until '94 is hilarious. It's like if Johnny Cash did Hurt ('02) and then released his last LP in 2027

This is blackout poetry to me

Have you ever seen the rain? #photography

used an AI tool to find instagram tag suggestions and it's all things like "# influencer # content creator # grow social media"

Everyone’s talking about Swarovski right now so let’s take a second and dive into the fact that they were NAZI Nazis. Like full-on Seig Heil, prosecuted after the war level Nazis and the modern company has done everything they can to hide all their archives and prevent anyone accessing them.

Wow! Palestine Action win judicial review - Guardian report. This is a *big* legal win. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Politicians basing their messaging and strategy on what cuckoos are vomiting onto the internet is stupid. So is expecting regular people to not be polarized by what nutsos say online.

They think good is weak & evil is based, because they are wicked. ICE is doing wicked things & hiring wicked men to do them. It is difficult to look such a thing in the eye, but that is all there there is to them

Watching deep space nine, where half the male characters are wearing tight-as-hell bulgy-wulgy pants

oh yeah, this bangs

now that Converge has released a new record, let's be reminded of the fact that The Dusk In Us was 9 years ago

POWER OF ATTORNEY????? IN A FUCKING EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT?????????????

People are calling Gene Simmons untalented... Apropos of nothing, go watch Dimebag shred on a southern rebel flag guitar. People can be racist and talented, unfortunately

A Reuters photographer captured this image of a page from Pam Bondi's "burn book," which she used to counter any questions from Democratic lawmakers during an unhinged hearing today. It looks like the DOJ monitored members of Congress’s searches of the unredacted Epstein files. Just wow.

new season of shrinking's coming out

Bullet train!

unpopular opinion but there really isn't any alternative to age verification when your closed-room platform has a large underage userbase. you either enable grooming on a mass scale and are made to go under by governments and lawsuits, or... this

I can't move to San Fransisco if America is going to keep doing all that stuff to immigrants. I need California to secede, hopefully this financial quarter, maybe early next one, so I can win the lottery and spend the rest of my days in a cozy apartment near the Modern Art museum

Kerryman who is married, living and working legally in the United States for >20 years has been incarcerated by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) since September 2025. Profoundly disturbing report by Karlin Lillington @klillington.bsky.social www.irishtimes.com/world/us/202...

The degree to which these people should be locked in an asylum cannot be overstated

Watching this star trek ds9 episode is killing me. Why did they have to name him that it keeps making my brain go "Hey!" memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Nestor

If an evil person having the same personality-defining characteristic as you shatters your entire world view and makes you lash out, then you have the constitution of a hummingbird with epilepsy

Good thinking. Thank God it's slur Saturday too

At Whipple where expired dicks are being thrown at ICE vehicles and those believed to be agitators. The area has been a place of protest since thousands of federal agents arrived in the city. Near Minneapolis February 7, 2026

While the protest was underway, Thames Valley Police issued several tickets to offenders – including one motorist who, when seeing the children wave their signs at him while he was parking on double yellows, mounted the pavement and drove towards them.

I've been consuming Instagram reels. The algorithm has figured out what my niche is - grindcore covers of We Are Charlie Kirk

I look at old painterly cityscapes for photography inspiration and I think, this would be much better if there was a long line or 10 of cars so reflective they look like the shiny side of a VFX ball, attracting the viewer's eye like a brightly dressed clown severed in two, gore spilling out

This is a remarkable @nytimes.com split screen: A huge 3,526 word + photos profile on Sen Britt who "can't stop thinking about the boy ICE detained" But Rep Jaoquin Castro- who actually got Liam Ramos out of detention & back home- gets no interview, no pix, just 116 words inside a story. WOW.

paragraph 48: "In Mr. Trump’s second term, Ms. Britt has voted in line with the president 100 percent of the time."
