YouTube's AI is so terrible it determined that because I like "animal rescue groups" I'll also like "zoos" and "cages."

“(ICE favorability is) almost break-even with people who get their news from Twitter. Compare that to other social media platforms like Reddit and TikTok, where over 70% of voters viewed the agency unfavorably.” You are what you (choose to) eat

The conclusions about student cognition aren’t the interesting part for me so much as the money being spent on youth surveillance that isn’t leading to better learning outcomes. Teachers are being laid off, schools & libraries are closing, books are being banned.

Congress asked Les Wexner about a damning email to Epstein leaked by DDoSecrets and made public alongside @jmail.world and @dropsitenews.com After learning about Epstein's first arrest, Wexner wrote: "you violated your own number 1 rule...Always be careful." The email: jmail.world/thread/e5597...

There is one way - and one way only - to determine who your favorite Doctor is: Listen to @bigfinish.bsky.social's intros and figure out who prompts the most goosebumps when they say "For The Love Of Stories"

If any tech people do happen to have the ears of billionaires, I am here with my wallet open saying I would pay EXTRA for devices and software that don't have AI in them. Please take my money.

I keep this image on my desktop now because of how often I have to use it.

If some lost media *actually* becomes found because of an article I'm writing, I'll lose my frickin' mind.

how we shot the opening (Camden) scene Doctor Who The Star Beast. New footage. Edits. Tensions. Rehearsals. www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdXb...

Tech bros about to invent a magic lamp but instead of cursed wishes it tells you to self harm and sends all your info to the government.

"That person is too hot to be cis" is still batting 1,000

When we talk about ACAB sometimes it's easier for people to get this point Cops are bastards not just bc they do evil (although they do plenty) but also bc they are enforcing systemic inequity and injustice laws even when they aren't the worst of the worst The same applies to politicians

The govt has been trying (in spurts) to declassify UAP info for years. The biggest hurdles are that agencies refuse to comply with automatic declassification requirements and the National Archives can't declassify other agencies' records. If you want real declass, give NARA that authority.

Like moderation - but without the catharsis of banning an account or reporting bad actors to the police - this kind of reporting involves repeated exposure and investigation to a broad spectrum of traumatizing behaviors, many of which are difficult to predict in advance.

Do you have a counseling background and some availability? Want to volunteer to some help? I‘m glad to help set up office hours/verify journalists for access. I’ll create an contact to verify reporters once I have something to offer.

Cis journos who fancy themselves our allies - one of the best things you could do right now is push some human interest stories about trans people like this into the mainstream.

Die Epstein-Akten zeigen, wie der US-Finanzier versuchte, Kontakte nach Russland zu knüpfen, auch mit Putin wollte er sprechen. @daniellaufer.de, der mit @frederikobermaier.com & unseren Partnern recherchiert hat, hat darüber im @derstandard.at Podcast gesprochen www.derstandard.at/story/300000...

"Dang, @arcbeatlepress.bsky.social should really have a Starter Pack. I'm surprised they don't. Should I say something? Lemme just double check first. Oh. Hell yeah." Publishers of cool shit: www.arcbeatlepress.com/about.html

all horror is either mist or ooze. blob is a form of ooze but an unloaded blob is a form of mist... and *everything* is demons

Not even joking, but we need support groups for journalists working on the Epstein data. There's so much traumatic shit in there, and we don't know what's relevant until we look at it. And some of it is legitimately nightmare fuel.

Weird that someone dug up this note from my old D&D players

NEW: Aubrey Cottle aka Kirtaner, the admitted federal cooperator and self-described "founder" of Anonymous, has told family members he plans to take a plea deal in Canada for the hacking charges. Impact on the US case is unclear. cc @alexposadzki.bsky.social

Historians writing about this time will have plenty of use for the phrase 'the ruling party had a fragile majority, so no atrocity was allowed to be a resignation issue'.

NEW: Kathy Ruemmler shared nonpublic details with Jeffrey Epstein about the White House probe into a 2012 prostitution scandal that engulfed the Secret Service during her tenure as White House counsel, emails show www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

I am once again asking you to stop doxing yourselves to me

THEY HAD THE “NO TAKE ONLY THROW” DOG MEME SIX THOUSAND YEARS AGO

"They came for trans athletes, and I said nothing because I didn't care about sports."

Bit weird that somebody messaged me on Signal (and then quickly deleted the messages before I could read them) with this as their avatar and “jpscc 2016” as their name.

Sky has the gall to act like they're the one being harassed, while egging on their followers to gossip about me like this--after my mentions were flooded by their followers coming after me. Despicable shit. I will tag them so you can block them for their transmisogyny: @sky.skymarchini.net

this person has been sending transmisogynistic harassment my way all day by lying about what I said, and is now continuing to try to team up with Will Stancil to instigate more harassment, past my block. deranged behavior. being nonbinary doesn't mean you get a pass for dogpiling trans women!

Distracting myself from the Epstein horrors with the ICE horrors

Der Skandal um #JeffreyEpstein reiht sich ein in eine lange Reihe von Skandalen - und wieder zeigt sich wie in den #PanamaPapers: "Soziologisch kann man Superreiche genau so definieren: Für sie gelten keine Regeln und Normen. Sie glauben, Gesetze umgehen zu dürfen, es stehe ihnen zu."
