Leaked documents reveal that Meta, the parent company of Facebook, WhatsApp, and Instagram, has blocked its AI chatbot from discussing topics including abortion with minors. This contrasts sharply with the firm’s handling of child sexual exploitation claims.

This is Bruegger. He learned a highly advanced new trick, demonstrating excellent use of both free will and spatulas. 13/10 (TT: maddmaddmad)

Rep. Ilhan Omar: "The president talked about protecting Americans, and I just had to remind him that his administration was responsible for killing two of my constituents."

Court order was granted last May, but not yet served? Make me understand! "...the order was not valid as it had not yet been served...petition for a protection order was filed by a mother against her adult son in April 2025 and granted the following month in May."

Tonight’s state of the union.

I’m boycotting the State of the Union, but Becky Roberts will attend as my honorary guest. She’s one of 22 million Americans facing higher premiums after Trump and Republicans let ACA tax credits expire and cut Medicaid. I invited her so Trump must face the people hurt by his policies.

Security threat to @albomp.bsky.social reminds us that violence is growing as an element of our national life. Its fuelled by extremism in politics ideology religion racism sexism & greed. Influenced by #Trump & USA Republicans. Are we ready to leave that influence behind. Hope so.

🗽Heather Cox Richardson Ukrainians have changed the way they wage war; they no longer ask when it will end, but only how. They are stopping a dangerous aggressor. Unlike us, they don’t even ask us to say thank you. Read More: heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/february-2...

I can't believe it's now more likely that Bari Weiss is going to end up running CNN too. I mean I can believe it but can't accept this is reality. And I hate that I have to root for a disgusting corporate merger like Netflix-Warner to stop an evil one like Paramount-Warner.

I didn’t watch the SOTU knowing the fat orange turd would just lie and scream, but seeing the clips of republicans standing, clapping and cheering for a traitorous child rapist tells you everything you need to know about the republican party today.

oops. White nationalism is a helluva drug.

Pleased that most of the top comments are seeing through this act of Jen's as a surrogate subtly placing Newsom as a defacto DNC pick & that Newsom is not right for the moment. Remember: he is pro Israel, Charlie Kirk, and billionaire class (aka Epstein class), and Californians barely tolerate him.

If we have to pay to rent movies again on a subscription service, we should just reopen Blockbuster.

SCIENCE, BITCH! A research team led by the University of Waterloo is engineering hungry bacteria to literally eat tumours from the inside out. LET'S FUCKING GOOOOO

This squirrel has been soaking up the sun the last hour, and he just reappeared with a full slice of pizza!

If God wants your mega-church pastor to have a private jet, why doesn't he just reach down and give him one for free. Why do you have to give your hard-earned money to the pastor so he can buy one? Does God want you to be poor?

Here are some wandering wonderings on the echoing implications of our relationship with death There’s a trigger warning on this one in-between-days.ghost.io/on-mushrooms...

Deep into the detector 👷 Today’s #PhotoOfTheWeek features the @atlasexperiment.bsky.social detector during the year-end technical stop (YETS) – a brief winter switch-off that allows for essential maintenance and upgrades on equipment and detectors, preparing them for the following physics run.

Shield and Phaser Effects are among my favorite #StarTrek effects. #StarTrekDS9 #Treksky #TrekTuesday You know it's not a battle without smoke billowing from somewhere on the Bridge and Sparks flying and an officer or two getting knocked out of their chair by the console exploding

Royal family is considering removing Andrew from Succession. He is 8th in line, so there are low chances he will live that long, but it's just on the Principle. Armed Police rammed into his accommodation on his birthday, just to add salt to the injury. Long Live the United Kingdom! #MainBastards

Would sure be nice to preserve their habitat. #Birds #Raptors

Alright… Early ’80s. This young singer from Michigan cuts her first single in a tiny NY studio. Label left her face off the sleeve. Wanted radio to think she was Black and just let it spin. Radio shrugs. Sales stall. But… After midnight, DJs kept reaching for it. Sometimes the charts are late.

If you think that Bruce Wayne could help Gotham out more if he just used his fortune on social projects instead of dressing up as a bat, you either don't read comics or you read them but don't pay attention, and I honestly do not know which one is sadder. 🧵

People are saying the new Star Trek is gay and it's not true. Great show but it should be 10,000% more gay than it is now

HERO 🔥 And I don’t want to hear shit about a censure vote against this man. Rep. Al Greene was ejected from the State of the Union for the sign — “Black People Aren’t Apes.”

The President's speech was just what we expected, all dishonesty & self-aggrandizement while he continues to ignore the real problems Americans are facing because of HIS decisions.

I already drank all the wine in the house...moving on to the chocolate. #sotu

I’m attending the #SOTU for one reason: duty. As a 25-year Army veteran, I swore an oath to the Constitution — not to a political party or a president. That oath requires me to hold this administration accountable, even when we hear a speech disconnected from reality.

In tonight's speech, the president did what he does best: celebrate himself. But if anyone was looking for leadership focused on easing their current economic pain, he made clear that they'll need to look elsewhere.

Are there any Star Trek characters you didn't like for whatever reason, but over time you've done a 180 and now like/love them? For me, Doctor Pulaski. I disliked her when I was younger purely because she wasn't Crusher. But every time I rewatch season 2, I love her more and more. She's awesome.

“What I need right now is a war” has been a natural progression for this president for a while.

For context

The UN itself is a joke, and this voting is nothing but a meaningless gesture, but this US abstention tells so much about one of our security guarantors. Allies my ass

State of the Union? I’ll not watch the demented buffoon on any occasion. Not even if announcing his resignation. Just DO IT! Then fade away immediately. I’ll add, this isn’t a presidential event, just more of the criminal imbecile holding up in the Oval Office. A disgrace even to humanity. SOTU

Lynnwood City Council voted 7-0 to cancel Flock camera contract. The issue was originally scheduled to be considered as a regular agenda item later in the meeting, but CM Isabel Mata moved that the cancellation be added to the council’s consent agenda mylynnwoodnews.com/lynnwood-cit...
