On Feb 24, I gave a lecture at UW explaining what my team's decade-plus research on online rumors during crises reveals about the right wing "bullshit machine." Fittingly, a lightning strike impacted the original audio. Here's a fixed version w/ the full transcript: www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjiG...

Proud to be an executive producer on 'American Doctor', the film about 3 US doctors who volunteered in Gaza, which premiered at Sundance. I knew early on that their stories needed to be told and I'm delighted Zeteo could help bring those stories to the screen. festival.sundance.org/program/film...

O @bjennings90.bsky.social , no @theguardian.com :

There are more things to be worried about in the world right now than at any prior point in my lifetime, yet I can still assure you that you are *not* as worried about the Board of Peace as you should be. PROOF explains why the new group is an ongoing crime—and global danger.

O engenheiro e militante Leonel Brizola nasceu neste dia em 1922. Sua ousadia e luta anti-imperialista adiou o golpe militar de 1964 e seu legado radical em defesa das mudanças estruturais é uma fonte de inspiração revolucionária até hoje.

Tânia Maria has been catapulted to fame for her 11-minute role in Brazil’s four Oscar-nominated movie “The Secret Agent.” The 79-year-old newcomer has drawn praise from international film critics, and amassed more than 100,000 social media followers in just months.

RFK Jr. appointee Kirk Milhoan has just clearly stated, out loud, that he wants to experiment on the people of the United States by seeing what happens as vaccination coverage plummets and infectious diseases spread.

Hell yeah: Gabriel Domingues for Achievement in Casting.

At the screening I went to, the writer-director of The Secret Agent said—paraphrasing here, I took notes but didn't know I'd need 'em today—that he's sick of movies with good-looking actors, and tried to populate this movie with actors who look great. And he did. Everyone in it is so fun to watch.

Insights from Ben Affleck on AI: • AI can help write scenes but can't create full movies. • Job loss fears are overblown because adoption of new tech is slow; it's hype for startup valuations. • ChatGPT v5 is ~25% better but costs 4x. • Users actually preferred v4's sycophancy for companionship.

When the AI boom began, copywriters were singled out as one of the jobs most vulnerable to AI. Now, three years later, I wanted to hear from workers on the frontlines of the industry, to hear what had actually taken place on the ground. For many, it was even worse than they'd feared.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Evening viewing recommendation? Watch Kleber Mendonça Filho and Juliano Dornelles's blistering sci-fi thriller BACURAU (2019) — an audacious, furiously entertaining model of genre art as a vehicle for political resistance.

Uma pessoa presa um ano antes por injúria racial e agressão teria que ter tido seu registro cancelado e arma apreendida. Muita gente despreparada e instável conseguiu armas no governo anterior, armas mais potentes que as da polícia em muitos casos. g1.globo.com/sp/sao-paulo...

“Ela foi uma dos 33 mil pacientes da Vastaamo que tiveram seus registros terapêuticos roubados em … 2020” “o hacker publicou todo o banco de dados com os registros roubados da empresa na dark web, e um número desconhecido de pessoas leu ou baixou uma cópia. Essas anotações circulam desde então.”

The eye in the left image appears reddish while the eye in the right one appears greenish. However, they are the same color (R188, G188, B0).

typical ai use case

Block the absolute shit out of this nazi filth. Do it with an ancient curse on your lips, with black lightning coursing through your blocking finger. Or just do it the regular way. Point being: block ‘em.

“It’s a reminder to people that email should be treated almost not quite public,” EFF’s Thorin Klosowski told The New York Times. Consider the company that runs it and law enforcement's access to it: "The more you put it in it, the more they’ll have access to.” www.nytimes.com/2026/01/15/...
