Over on Facebook, a page named "Beautiful USA" has been spamming the platform with USA-themed posts featuring exaggerated patriotic imagery (often AI-generated). Although the page claims to be based in Los Angeles, Facebook’s Page Transparency feature indicates that it is operated from Romania.

Keeping an eye on all the things on a #Caturday morning...

Here’s a thought: maybe we should *not* vote for candidates that embody toxic masculinity just because they put a D behind their name. Maybe we do *not* need our own version of Trump. Maybe the people who say we do are fucking stupid.

My goodness.

I had to watch like 70 hours of Candace Owens for work. So the least you could do is read my dispatch from hell. www.ms.now/news/bride-o...

Dearborn, MI has often been subject to racist and Islamophobic scapegoating online, ranging from claims that the city is full of terrorist cells to complaints about a cop wearing a hijab. As seen in this graph of X posts, this activity tends to occur in waves (often correlated to major events).

It is men who pervert religion. It is men’s fault. I’m just saying.

In a scammy mix of impersonation and plagiarism, spammers on Facebook are impersonating a Ukraine-based luthier (Tanya Shpachuk) by lifting videos from her real YouTube and TikTok accounts. There are, however, multiple signs that the Facebook account in question is fake.

I’ve wanted to pet this feral cat since 2024. I have no idea why this happened today but Greyboy has turned a corner.

I made an app. play.google.com/store/apps/d... Nearby Glasses is here to warn you when smart glasses are nearby. I hope it's useful for someone. Nearby Glasses's open source, free and rather simple github.com/yjeanrenaud/... It's also downloadable outside the Play Store. iOS port is in the making

A new paper shows that less than 2 months of exposure to Twitter’s algorithmic feed significantly shifts people’s political views to the right. Moving from chronological feed to the algorithmic feed also increases engagement. This is one of the most concerning papers I’ve read in awhile.

#Caturday is the perfect day for a pair of cats to relax atop a piece of cardboard (as of course is every other day).

As someone in the replies notes, this is NOT the Internet Archive, which is a whole nonprofit and whose facilities I have visited in person. (I forget that people do not know this stuff.)

The headline does not convey how completely batshit this story is. The Archive Today (archive.ph etc) admin weaponized the site's captcha to attack a blogger who wrote about them and *altered archived screenshots* as part of the attack. arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

Tell your kids not to talk to strangers on the internet. Tell them a million times. Tell them why: because creepy men pretend to be kids to trick them. It’s insane how many Zoomers over 18 say they were groomed online. It happens more than people think.

In light of recent revelations that Archive(dot)today is involving its users in a DDOS attack, and altering archives to further a personal grudge, I am ceasing use of the site. I also did three quick tests of alternatives for on-demand archiving, summarized below... arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

He talks a whole lot of shit for a short skinny shrimp with two eyes that aren’t black yet.

In recent years, Facebook has been flooded with AI-generated images of houses posted by spammy content farm pages. Many of these pages are run by Vacarino LLC, allegedly based in Oklahoma City. Further digging, however, indicates the LLC owner is based in Kosovo. www.conspirator0.com/p/this-barnd...

Sorry all this is my fault; and speculation has grown worse because I have been sick in bed with a high fever and unable to reliably address it (still am sick) I was told by management not to comment until they did. Here is my statement in images below arstechnica.com/staff/2026/0...

OpenAI ”acknowledged in its own research that LLMs will always produce hallucinations due to fundamental mathematical constraints that cannot be solved through better engineering, marking a significant admission from one of the AI industry’s leading companies.” You can’t trust chatbots.

If an increasing unpopular leader, known for shaping reality w/ lies, wanted to subvert democracy, would they: A) complain that the polls are “fake news”, B) threaten polling organizations into silence, C) sow distrust in election results, or D) find ways to disenfranchise voters of the other party?

civil society and right groups orgs that often keep a tab on and organise campaigns against these evil corporations are overstretched and underfunded. this internal memo from Meta is insidious and sickening

This is why I keep telling people, tell the kids to leave that AI shit alone. They already aren’t very good at math and should be using a calculator, not AI.

Roses are red Violets are blue Abolish ICE And DHS too

This is the type of content that reaffirms my choice to claim Gen X since I’m technically a cusper lmao

Over the last three months, 27 Bluesky accounts belonging to tech reporters and news outlets experienced a rapid uptick in follows from newly-created accounts. While it is not unusual for new Bluesky users to follow journalists and media outlets, this sudden large increase is anomalous.

I read through the texts, emails, and iMessages between Steve Bannon and his good friend, and self described “cornerman,” convicted sex predator Jeffrey Epstein. My dispatch from the files: www.ms.now/news/steve-b...

Challenge accepted *again*, dickwad.

Fuentes, yesterday: “Our #1 political enemy is women because women constrain everything, every conversation, every man, everything. They have to be imprisoned. They are the ones that are hurting the fertility rate. They're the ones making us sympathetic to poor people, which are also brown people.”

Cardi’s tour intro to her number one hit from 2018 with Bad Bunny is exactly what I would expect from her lol

Hating people is a mistake. You can win easier without letting someone take you down that low. Hating things and circumstances is fine, but not people.

I hadn’t seen his fully Grammy speech until now. Somebody must have taught him the same thing my mother taught me, no hating people allowed.
