Completely crazy-making to watch the Trump admin and their MAGA sycophants rewrite history in realtime - and reach millions with it - despite crystal clear video evidence that directly contradicts their narrative:

New from me: Of all the footage from Renee Good's killing, the Trump admin has seized upon the grainiest clip that looks like it went through a meme deep fryer to support its case. Who needs AI manipulations when your preferred angle will do the job well enough? www.theverge.com/tech/858710/...

Using imagery online of the shooting by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, we’ve created an animated sequence which highlights the approximate positioning of officers and vehicles at the scene. The red dot represents the agent who fired the shots. Yellow dots are other agents who arrived at the scene.

"Renee was one of the kindest people I’ve ever known,” her mother said. “She was extremely compassionate. She’s taken care of people all her life. She was loving, forgiving and affectionate. She was an amazing human being.” www.startribune.com/she-was-an-a...

Abolish and prosecute ICE. They did a murder in broad daylight today. Imagine what they're doing in the closed facilities we're somehow not even allowed to see.

last month, @wired.com broke the news about ai image generators being used to undress photos of women. my reporting resulted in a 200K+ subreddit getting banned for nonconsensual deepfakes. doing more software accountability reporting this year. reach out to me on Signal with tips! reece_rogers.01

People say “Avatar had no cultural impact” as though teaching a whole generation about the sacrifice of our brave boys who died fighting on Pandora doesn’t count as a cultural impact

The final language of the NDAA is officially out. As @wired.com reported a couple weeks ago, lawmakers removed the bipartisan and widely popular right to repair provisions that would have helped military members fix their own equipment www.wired.com/story/the-mi...

Been fascinated by the idea of a Great Meme Reset ever since I first heard about it. Originally, I was trying to parse how it would be possible to rewind the internet. Then I really thought about what it could mean and why people might want to turn back time... www.wired.com/story/the-gr...

For a few blissful weeks at a time, I'll forget all about QAnon...before being reminded just how central it's been to *everything* bad/weird/insane happening right now. Including, of course, the Epstein files:
