This is FALSE. ICE data showed DHS averaging 1,259 deportations/day through April 4. There is ZERO sign deportations rose by 154% since. Mullin also mixes up DHS's (also FALSE) claim that 70% arrested have any criminal record at all, and claims that 70% are felons. Wildly wrong.

I watched The Sheep Detectives last night and I was unprepared for how much I found myself crying. It's so cute and wholesome.

Fifth most liked post on Bluesky yesterday. No escaping the fucking AI liars.

People who create and share AI videos of animals in the name of views are negating and devaluing the real authentic animal moments that we should cherish. Why create artificial when reality is by far better? Imagined falsehoods mimicking genuine dogs destroy some of the purest moments that exist.

What do you get for the dad that has everything on Father's Day? I listened to my dad for an hour on the phone and didn't fact check him once.

I thought the onion was supposed to be satire

I don't know if any sitting president has ever said such a ghoulish thing about being responsible for a strike that killed over 100 kids.

In case anyone was curious, the green in the Reflecting Pool is also very visible from space, as seen in this June 13 SkySat image from @planet.com.

Wow. Looks like two websites have been seized by the DOJ and DHS for hosting celebrity deepfake pornography. The two domains were essentially the same, with the same name. These types of sites usually own multiple domains. Another win for the Take It Down Act. www.justice.gov/opa/pr/unite...

This is absolutely true. Not to mention the other awful ways people use Grok to make demeaning and provocative content at the expense of women. X can fix this issue. They just choose not to.

No surprise, but my father fell for ANOTHER AI-powered scam targeting the elderly. He saw an ad for something on IG. He ended up purchasing the snake oil they are selling. They made an AI manipulated video of Laura Ingram and Elon Musk. Folks, it's not even a good video.

I'm at a wedding this weekend and the bride and groom has set up one of the best drink options I've ever seen.

"We find, upon reflection, that our duty to our country has not ended ... We as Vietnam Veterans, strongly feel that the United States should cease to build memorials to death and begin to glorify life" -one of the quotes being removed for being *checks notes* too woke

This is what always surprises people. The ability to make deepfake nudes isn't hidden in some dusty, hard to access part of the internet. It's available in the most accessible ways like the Google Play store and the Apple App store. Anyone with a cell phone can make a deepfake nude in minutes.

Even after these women have been digitally stripped of their clothes, xAI is trying to harm them even more by removing the last bit of protection they have, their names. If their names are released, it's guaranteed they'll get harassed. It's shameful, expected behavior from xAI.

New federal and state laws are just getting started to help curtail the growing problem of AI deepfake pornography. Part 3 of my time on @pbsnews.org where I talk about legislation and policies about this issue.

With a $1 and 5 minutes, anyone can create a convincing non-consensual sexual deepfake. Part 2 of my time on @pbsnews.org where I talk about how widespread the technology is and who are the ones using it.

Part 1 of my segment on @pbsnews.org talking about AI nudification tools, and what are we talking about technology wise.

As the types and uses of so-called "nudification" technology have grown, lawmakers at both the state and federal levels have tried to draft laws to curtail it. But that has proven to be very difficult. https://to.pbs.org/4dYI8kf

Bellingcat's @koltai.bsky.social spoke to PBS News about non-consensual deepfake pornography and authorities' struggle to deal with them www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...

Our researcher @koltai.bsky.social spoke with PBS about the reasons behind the rise in AI nudification apps

Somehow we haven't reached the bottom of harm that this administration wants to cause www.nytimes.com/2026/06/01/c...

This is so cool. So proud of my colleagues at @bellingcat.com and our partners at @frontlinepbs.bsky.social @washingtonpost.com @evidentmedia.org for winning an Emmy for Outstanding Investigative Coverage: Long Form. Major congrats!

Last night our @frontlinepbs.bsky.social documentary collaboration with @pbs.org , @washingtonpost.com and @evidentmedia.org covering Iran's nuclear programme won an Emmy for Outstanding Investigative Coverage: Long Form.

I would like to see even more Jaylens in the NBA. What is the maximum acceptable Jaylen level?

Two more people have been arrested under the Take it Down Act (bringing the total to 3). These separate cases involved men generating and posting hundreds of AI pornography of celebs, politicians, and non-public women (acquaintances). www.justice.gov/usao-edny/pr...

This is also crazy because the Iran games are in Seattle. Canada is also right there. Mexico is so much further away.

I firmly believe that @beetlemoses.bsky.social channels the aura of Gary Larson/The Far Side (complimentary)

Made Google roleplay a cow. Super helpful. Exactly what I want from a search engine.

Clothoff, the infamous AI nudification site, has been given a 14-day deadline to stop children from accessing the site. If they don't, they risk almost $50 million in fines and being delisted from Google. It's not clear to me if this would be delisted from everywhere or just Australia.

If you're reading this, my cat and I have boarded a one-way flight out of the United States. The Trump administration wrongfully denied my work permit renewal; after months of demanding that they follow the law, we have run out of legal recourse, and I have no choice but to leave the country. (🧵)

Sorry for the delayed update, but the bill has passed! 🎉🎉🎉 It will go into effect in August. this really is the first law in the US explicitly prohibiting the technology/service of AI nudification/deepfake pornography. Would love to see this as a model nationwide www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

I think parents getting 400 free diapers for a newborn is a good thing.

You would think that if you're going to sell a jersey for $375, you'd at least not use an AI generated photo of a highly recognized landmark in Seattle

RIP Ted Turner. Who could have predicted that creating a 24hr news channel would eventually lead to the death spiral competition in the attention economy and the eventual overloading of the mental capacity of the public to engage with news.

It's always my damn morals and ethics holding me back from becoming a grifter.

EXCLUSIVE: Did FBI Director Kash Patel use AI to rip off the Beastie Boys? Experts say this FBI promotional video probably used AI-video generation to recreate the iconic 1994 music video for "Sabotage." www.npr.org/2026/05/05/n...

I was trying to look up an incident from a couple of years ago when Trump accused Harris's campaign of faking the size of her crowd with AI (it was, in fact, real), and somehow made the Google AI overview freak out

Parents who think they are cool finding out that kids don't think they are cool.

I'm tentatively excited about the potential passing of bill HF1606 in Minnesota. This bill will make it illegal for people to own a website, app, software, program, or other service to allow users to "nudify" images or videos and prohibit advertising such services. It passed 132-1 in the House

In my video from January 12, you can see some of the agents referenced in this piece by Bellingcat. This includes EZ-2 catching a snowball lobbed at him and pepper spraying a woman, and EZ-17 not answering questions about why he has nicer gear than another agent.

Same energy

Welp

When I say "I got that dawg in me" this is what I'm talking about

Cannot wait to go buy a bunch of onions from my local farmers market and carry it in this tote bag

@garmin.com should give me some sort of badge for reaching this rare achievement.

What if verification can’t keep up with increasingly sophisticated AI-generated media? Bellingcat researcher @koltai.bsky.social spoke with @bendobrown.bsky.social and Reuters' George Sargent at #ijf26 on the role we can play. Watch back here: www.festivaldelgiornalismo.com/programme/20...

Cool. My car can also run faster than the human world record for a half marathon.

And that's a wrap on #ijf26! It's never enough sleep or espresso but always so much fun. Thank you to my fellow panelists on peak verification @bendobrown.bsky.social & George Sargent and to @evidentmedia.org @zachtoombs.bsky.social @kevinclancy.bsky.social for screening our Emmy nominated films
