Discworld QOTD, from Equal Rites “Zoon tribes are very proud of their Liars. Other races get very annoyed about all this. They feel that the Zoon ought to have adopted more suitable titles, like ‘diplomat’ or ‘public relations officer’. They feel they are poking fun at the whole thing.”

I just learned about this one yesterday but I can tell it’s staying forever

Ok. So. They anonymised the sheep.

Deleted a repost of a thread. Looking closer, the person is comfortable sharing AI images & video. Was the thread also AI? Was it accurate? I’d rather not take the chance and share it. Journalists, keep this in mind. “Fun” AI videos & images undercut your credibility.

if the activities of your church are indistinguishable from conversion therapy then your church needs to change or be shut down

Imagine being the person brave enough to leak this in the hopes that media attention could stop it and then the media just……buries it.

In a nutshell.

For all that the media has spent years freaking out about what social media does to our brains, I don’t understand why there appears to be little effort to grapple with the fact that these chatbots are, for some not insignificant portion of the population, literally psychosis machines

OpenAI is now facing a total of 8 wrongful death lawsuits from grieving families....who claim that ChatGPT, in particular, the GPT-4o version, drove their loved ones to suicide. Soelberg’s complaint also alleges that company executives knew the chatbot was defective before it pushed it to the public

it's funny when watching US movies or tv shows i used to be like "man, they sure do use food poisoning as a plot device *a lot* in america..." then i learned their food poisoning statistics and it blew my mind. that's just how they live! people DIE of food poisoning regularly in the US. it's MAD.

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to jump out of a helicopter to kidnap a head of state and his wife so some oil ceos can make a lot of money. we’ll be watching from a resort in florida that still serves wedge salad and checking how many retweets we get. good luck soldier

decades of "lol the french are cheese-eating surrender monkeys" seems funnier in a different way when you realise the french public will burn down the government if it even looks at them wrong while the american people are the most house-broken nation in existence

Your fact of the day: The US Center for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that one in six American citizens suffers a food-borne illness annually. In the UK, the figure is one in 132. bylinetimes.com/2020/02/28/f...

US chicken is chlorinated because America has no animal welfare laws where poultry is concerned. It has to be chlorinated because Salmonella and e. coli run rife The EU banned that practice in 1997 and as such the UK has among the highest welfare and standards in the world. 1/2

Using this logic, any country could invade Israel, capture Netanyahu, and bring him to the Hague to face his indictments by the International Criminal Court.

My villain origin story is going to be people saying "but he's objectively evil" JUST LIKE THEY DID WITH SADDAM HUSSEIN IN 2002 and 2003. WE KNOW BUT THIS IS ILLEGAL AND CORRUPT.

One of the weirdest things about graveyard shift is getting a lot of your historical news early and some of it very late. I watched the 2000 election count unfold and saw an exhausted Dan Rather announce live that Gore withdrew his concession. Then I woke up at 3pm on 9/11.

THREAD: I'll fact-check all the viral misinformation about the US military operation in Venezuela in this thread This image, purporting to show the US military arresting Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, is AI-generated. According to Google's SynthID detector, it was created using Google AI.

babe wake up, they're doing insider trading on war crimes

Funny how the question "how will we pay for this?" is never applied to the military or to starting a new war. If it helps people, we have to justify the expense. If it causes pain and destruction, it's all fine.

What if none of these things is a distraction from the other things and instead they're all just horrible things

you simply do not have to preface your statements about this with “but Maduro sucks” whether or not Maduro sucks is entirely beside the point - we invaded another country and grabbed their leader with no justification other than “we wanted to” don’t give them cover on it

These freaks want territorial expansion and they know Trump will do everything he can to deliver. This isn’t just a tweet from some random asshole either. This is Stephen Miller’s wife. Miller was in the room with Trump during the kidnapping of Maduro.
