Reminder: in België hebben we ook fascisten die kinderen willen opsluiten.

And so the circle of @irhottakes.bsky.social's prophecy is complete

“Nostalgia is not a strategy.” gaat fokking hard!

Ik heb het gehad dat altijd de rekening gemaakt wordt van heel links op basis van fait divers of lucht terwijl rechts nooit wordt aangesproken op alle bullshit die ze verkopen of in hun naam wordt verkocht.

Trump accepting Machado's Nobel Peace Prize is a great insult to the FIFA Peace Prize committee

De rode draad in zijn carrière.

Not sure how you can rationalize still maintaining a regular presence over there!

Onze grootste en belangrijkste bondgenoot uit de twintigste eeuw is nu de machtigste en gevaarlijkste criminele organisatie ter wereld, schrijft @robwijnberg.bsky.social. Donald Trump regeert als een corrupte tiran met een fascistisch draaiboek in de hand. Lees Robs column hier:

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

The Norwegian Nobel Prize committee has been forced to make a statement, declaring that the prize cannot be transferred. It's hard even to comprehend how stupid this has become

Alsook (2): dittum

De chatbot grijpt niet in. De chatbot kreeg een prompt. Alsoook: die smeerlapperij betalend maken, zegt gewoon “Als je geld hebt, mag alles.” Fuck outta here.

This is also a field test. If the press lets them muddy the waters on executing a woman in Minneapolis despite multiple witnesses and video recordings clearly depicting what happened, the message they'll take away is that there's nothing they can't get away with. Nothing.

Not sure how to summarize this one. Wrote about the podcaster-occupied government invading for content, how the algorithmic internet is governed by the logic of reaction videos, and how it has contributed to a very nihilistic illiterate politics and culture of performance for imagined audiences

this is how every outlet should refer to X

Trump: We need Greenland. Right now, Greenland is covered with Russian and Chinese ships. Reporter: What would the justification be for a claim to Greenland? Trump: The EU needs us to have it.

Time is a flat circle.

the president is doing a press conference FROM HIS FLORIDA COUNTRY CLUB about launching an illegal war

Among the many reasons you don’t kidnap a foreign head of state at gunpoint even if you have the capability, is that it sparks consequences you can neither control nor anticipate.

Mensen die gisteren nog de grote woorden gebruikten dat het in beslag nemen van Russische tegoeden in strijd zou zijn met het internationaal recht die nu staan te applaudisseren voor ontvoering van een buitenlands regeringsleider.

100% seriously, European leaders and Commission officials should plan on the basis that the US might do this to them too, about Greenland, about tech regulation, about “Christian values”, about “free speech”, whatever.

I wrote about Grok's CSAM problem and how journalists keep fumbling the story www.readtpa.com/p/grok-cant-...

I cannot emphasize enough that the attempts to anthropomorphize an algorithm is a fundamental act of journalistic malpractice and an intentional act to shield the people responsible for this. It's fucking shameful.

call me crazy but it really feels like “World’s Richest Man Creates AI Chatbot That Generates Child Porn” would’ve been a huge international outrage requiring a governmental crackdown not even 24 months ago

may 2026 be the year political journalism is shot behind a barn and replaced by thorough investigative reporting

The Grok reddit is just dudes giving each other advice and encouragement on how to commit digital rape. There needs to be accountability for this. I don’t want to hear “the genie is already out the bag.” This shit needs to be destroyed.

So we just accept this then? This is a legitimate use of technology going forward? This vile individual's account is just prompt after prompt asking Al to alter real-life images of women. The law needs to catch up with technology now - because we can't trust these tech companies to police themselves

Stavros Kelepouris stelt vast dat talloze werklozen door de hervorming van de werkloosheidsuitkering in de miserie gaan belanden. Voor hen een oplossing bedenken is iets waar de regering blijkbaar niet bij stilgestaan heeft.

White House Begins Christmas Season With Ceremonial Lighting Of Cross

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

no one ever had to be forced to use *good* tech.

There is a direct correlation between how fake your job is and how much value you see in AI

Neen, dat doen ze niet. Ze dienen een bepaalde ideologie en een bepaalde klasse.

Mensonterend. En wij helpen heel wat mensen die het met nog minder moeten doen. Reporter probeert een week te overleven met 70 euro: “Voortdurend stress, niemand kiest hiervoor”

Rolling out the Matt Christman quote from after Charlottesville (2017) again:

Growing up in a time when “selling out” was the most shameful thing you could do and then being forced to live through the 2020s feels like being kicked in the head by a horse every day
