For people who are unaware, when AI models are trained to detect CSAM, it's with a mathematical abstraction of the CSAM image. There is no legal database of training data of CSAM images. But Grok was trained on them.

did you know that the English words druid, trust, truth, betroth, and truce all share a root word with “tree”? this reflects the longstanding spiritual and symbolic significance of trees in many European cultures

People need to be able to separate their personal case from the general case. "This is not for me" =/= "This should not exist" If you don't stand with the freaks and the pornographers - if your cry for freedom doesn't include the people you're uncomfortable with - you stand for nothing

I could see it in a library maybe

Don't worry about trying to help ALL of them. No one of us can do it all - we're all in this together and we have to trust that others will do their part in other lanes. Just pick one or two YOU CARE ABOUT and HELP. The main thing is to do SOMETHING.

Treat the testimony of victims of rape the same way you would victims of theft.

Hi these folks very kindly asked me to help guest-edit the one time and they let me write a deranged essay about parasites and symbionts and who else is going to do that? No one, that's who. Please support Khōréō and their important work!

There's just too much Stuff Happening and I think we're all so used to reacting to it that it's inevitable that the more Stuff that Happens, the more likely people are to absolutely shit the bed with their awful opinions.

This is coming for all of us, not everybody but randomly enough to be caustic for everyone of us. (Disclosure: David is my friend.) wapo.st/4vg9nx4

Sent these to my therapist at 9 am. I’m totally normal, why do you ask??

Anti-intellectualism is a bipartisan project and in both cases it’s basically market protectionism for one’s artisanal shoddy, boring ideas that cannot find an audience.

Until North West Bylines apologises to the LGBTQ+ community for promoting hate speech and platforming a serial Anti-LGBTQ+ hate preacher, and reverses the blocking of activists who brought this to their attention, the North West Bylines account will be added to our Anti-LGBTQ+ Bigotry blocklist.

My interview: “I came to this country as an infant and became a U.S. citizen,” Roswell Encina said. “So sitting there, on the Fourth of July, I couldn’t help but think about the promise of America and the work still required to protect it.” www.advocate.com/news/people/...

I love the Catholic drama but I want a lot of people to see that and apply it to their own social circles where they have power. Bigots especially focused purposely confrontational bigots? Aren’t confused , and they ain’t stupid They are boundary testing . Set the boundary

my next point: this is a Black man being gentle, in community, creating safety. you are seeing a Black man being as gentle as your mom. this is intriguing you, not because it is unusual or a fluke in reality, but bc you’re rarely allowed to see this framing bsky.app/profile/thra...

Last image from tonight (short film in the morning): this brother out here with his Singer sewing machine, gifting people a custom embroidery on their jerseys and hats with the name and the date, was more artistic than anything at Burning Man and ad gorgeous as a Caravaggio. Magic! Goodnight.
